¹Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

¹Zec 11;1 Odpri vrata svoja, o Libanon, da požre ogenj tvoje cedre!

²Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

²Tuli, o jelka, ker je padla cedra, ker so mogočni opustošeni! Tulite, hrastje v Basanu, ker je neprodirni gozd posekan!

³There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

³Glasno tulijo pastirji, ker je njih veličastvo opustošeno; glasi se rjovenje mladih levov, ker pokončana je ošabnost Jordanova.

⁴Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

⁴Tako je rekel GOSPOD, Bog moj: Pasi ovce, ki so namenjene v zakol,

⁵Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

⁵katerih gospodarji jih moré, pa si ne štejejo v greh; kateri jih pa prodajajo, govore: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, kajti obogatim! in njih pastirji jim ne prizanašajo.

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

⁶Kajti ne bom več prizanašal prebivalcem dežele, govori GOSPOD; temuč glej, jaz izročim ljudi, vsakega v pest bližnjemu njegovemu in kralju njegovemu v pest; in razbijejo deželo, in iz njih pesti jih ne otmem.

⁷And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

⁷In pasel sem ovce namenjene v zakol, torej najmedlejše izmed črede; in vzel sem si dve palici, eno sem imenoval Ljubeznivost, drugo pa Združenje, in pasel sem ovce.

⁸Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

⁸In odpravil sem tri pastirje v enem mesecu. A duša moja se je vznevoljila zaradi njih, pa tudi njih duši sem se zgnusil.

⁹Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

⁹Tedaj sem rekel: Ne bom vas pasel več; kar umira, naj umre, in kar gine, naj pogine, ostali pa naj žro sleherni svojega bližnjega meso.

¹⁰And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

¹⁰In vzel sem palico svojo, Ljubeznivost, in jo zlomil, da bi raztrgal zavezo svojo, ki sem jo bil sklenil z vsemi ljudstvi.

¹¹And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

¹¹In bila je raztrgana tisti dan; in tako so spoznali najmedlejši iz črede, ki so pazile name, da je bila beseda GOSPODOVA.

¹²And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

¹²In sem jim dejal: Če se vam dobro zdi, dajte mi plačilo moje, če pa ne, pustite. Tedaj so odtehtali meni v plačilo trideset srebrnikov.

¹³And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

¹³Nato mi veli GOSPOD: Vrzi jih lončarju, tisto lepo ceno, s katero so me cenili. In vzel sem trideset srebrnikov in jih vrgel v hišo GOSPODOVO, lončarju.

¹⁴Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

¹⁴Nato sem zlomil drugo palico svojo, Združenje, da razdružim bratovščino med Judo in Izraelom.

¹⁵And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

¹⁵Potem mi veli GOSPOD: Vzemi si še neumnega pastirja pripravo.

¹⁶For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

¹⁶Kajti glej, jaz obudim pastirja v deželi, ki ne bo skrbel za tiste, ki ginejo, ne bo iskal razkropljenih, ne bo zdravil ranjenih, tudi zdravega ne bo redil, temuč bo jedel meso pitanih in trgal njih parklje.Gorje ničvrednemu pastirju, ki zapušča čredo! Meč pridi nad njegovo ramo in nad desno oko njegovo! Rama njegova usahne docela in desno oko mu oslepi.

¹⁷Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

¹⁷Gorje ničvrednemu pastirju, ki zapušča čredo! Meč pridi nad njegovo ramo in nad desno oko njegovo! Rama njegova usahne docela in desno oko mu oslepi.
