Zechariah 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Open your gates, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedars.	1 Ανοιξον, Λιβανε, τας θυρας σου και ας καταφαγη πυρ τας κεδρους σου.
2 Howl, you fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the magnificent have been devastated. Howl, you oaks of Bashan, because the secure forest passage has been cut down.	2 Ολολυξον, ελατη, διοτι επεσεν κεδρος? διοτι οι μεγιστανες ηφανισθησαν? ολολυξατε, δρυς της Βασαν, διοτι το δασος το απροσιτον κατεκοπη.
3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their magnificence has been devastated. The voice of the roaring of the lions: because the arrogance of the Jordan has been devastated.	3 Φωνη ακουεται ποιμενων θρηνουντων, διοτι η δοξα αυτων ηφανισθη? φωνη βρυχωμενων σκυμνων, διοτι το φρυαγμα του Ιορδανου εταπεινωθη.
4 Thus says the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,	4 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος μου? Ποιμαινε το ποιμνιον της σφαγης,
5 which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, saying: “Blessed be the Lord; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”	5 το οποιον οι αγορασαντες αυτο σφαζουσιν ατιμωρητως? οι δε πωλουντες αυτο λεγουσιν, Ευλογητος ο Κυριος, διοτι επλουτησα, και αυτοι οι ποιμενες αυτου δεν φειδονται αυτου.
6 And so, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, says the Lord. Behold, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.	6 Δια τουτο δεν θελω φεισθη πλεον των κατοικων του τοπου, λεγει Κυριος, αλλ' ιδου, εγω θελω παραδωσει τους ανθρωπους εκαστον εις την χειρα του πλησιον αυτου και εις την χειρα του βασιλεως αυτου, και θελουσι κατακοψει την γην και δεν θελω ελευθερωσει αυτους εκ της χειρος αυτων.
7 And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, because of this, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.	7 Και εποιμανα το ποιμνιον της σφαγης, το οντως τεταλαιπωρημενον ποιμνιον. Και ελαβον εις εμαυτον δυο ραβδους, την μιαν εκαλεσα Καλλος και την αλλην εκαλεσα Δεσμους, και εποιμανα το ποιμνιον.
8 And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.	8 Και εξωλοθρευσα τρεις ποιμενας εν ενι μηνι? και η ψυχη μου εβαρυνθη αυτους και η ψυχη δε αυτων απεστραφη εμε.
9 And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.	9 Τοτε ειπα, Δεν θελω σας ποιμαινει? το αποθνησκον ας αποθνησκη και το απολωλος ας απολλυται και τα εναπολειπομενα ας τρωγωσιν εκαστον την σαρκα του πλησιον αυτου.
10 And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.	10 Και ελαβον την ραβδον μου, το Καλλος, και κατεκοψα αυτην, δια να ακυρωσω την διαθηκην μου, την οποιαν εκαμον προς παντας τους λαους τουτους,
11 And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.	11 και ηκυρωθη εν τη ημερα εκεινη? και ουτω το ποιμνιον το τεταλαιπωρημενον, το οποιον απεβλεπεν εις εμε, εγνωρισεν οτι ουτος ητο ο λογος του Κυριου.
12 And I said to them: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.	12 Και ειπα προς αυτους, Εαν σας φαινηται καλον, δοτε μοι τον μισθον μου? ει δε μη, αρνηθητε αυτον. Και εστησαν τον μισθον μου τριακοντα αργυρια.
13 And the Lord said to me: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.	13 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Ριψον αυτα εις τον κεραμεα, την εντιμον τιμην, με την οποιαν ετιμηθην υπ' αυτων. Και ελαβον τα τριακοντα αργυρια και ερριψα αυτα εν τω οικω του Κυριου εις τον κεραμεα.
14 And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.	14 Και κατεκοψα την αλλην μου ραβδον, τους Δεσμους, δια να ακυρωσω την αδελφοτητα μεταξυ Ιουδα και Ισραηλ.
15 And the Lord said to me: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.	15 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Λαβε εις σεαυτον ετι τα εργαλεια ποιμενος ασυνετου.
16 For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.	16 Διοτι ιδου, εγω θελω αναστησει ποιμενα επι την γην, οστις δεν θελει επισκεπτεσθαι τα απολωλοτα, δεν θελει ζητει το διεσκορπισμενον και δεν θελει ιατρευει το συντετριμμενον ουδε θελει ποιμαινει το υγιες? αλλα θελει τρωγει την σαρκα του παχεος και κατακοπτει τους ονυχας αυτων.
17 O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.	17 Ουαι εις τον ματαιον ποιμενα, τον εγκαταλειποντα το ποιμνιον? ρομφαια θελει ελθει επι τον βραχιονα αυτου και επι τον δεξιον οφθαλμον αυτου? ο βραχιων αυτου θελει ολοτελως ξηρανθη και ο δεξιος οφθαλμος αυτου ολοκληρως αμαυρωθη.
