World English Bible
1Διάνοιξον ὁ Λίβανος τὰς θύρας σου, καὶ καταφαγέτω πῦρ τὰς κέδρους σου.
1Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2Ὀλολυξάτω πίτυς, διότι πέπτωκε κέδρος, ὅτι μεγάλως μεγιστᾶνες ἐταλαιπώρησαν· ὀλολύξατε δρύες τῆς Βασανίτιδος, ὅτι κατεσπάσθη ὁ δρυμὸς ὁ σύμφυτος.
2Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
3Φωνὴ θρηνούντων ποιμένων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν ἡ μεγαλωσύνη αὐτῶν· φωνὴ ὠρυομένων λεόντων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκε τὸ φρύαγμα τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
3A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed—a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4Τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, ποιμαίνετε τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς,
4The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5ἃ οἱ κτησάμενοι κατέσφαζον, καὶ οὐ μετεμέλοντο, καὶ οἱ πωλοῦντες αὐτὰ ἔλεγον, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, καὶ πεπλουτήκαμεν· καὶ οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς.
5Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
6Διατοῦτο οὐ φείσομαι οὐκέτι ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἕκαστον εἰς χεῖρα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς χεῖρα βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατακόψουσι τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωμαι ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
6For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
7Καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς εἰς τὴν Χαναανίτιν· καὶ λήψομαι ἐμαυτῷ δύο ῥάβδους, τὴν μὲν μίαν ἐκάλεσα Κάλλος, καὶ τὴν ἑτέραν ἐκάλεσα Σχοίνισμα, καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα.
7So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
8Καὶ ἐξαρῶ τοὺς τρεῖς ποιμένας ἐν μηνὶ ἑνὶ, καὶ βαρυνθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ γὰρ αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν ἐπωρύοντο ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
8I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9Καὶ εἶπα, οὐ ποιμανῶ ὑμᾶς· τὸ ἀποθνῆσκον ἀποθνησκέτω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον ἐκλιπέτω, καὶ τὰ κατάλοιπα κατεσθιέτωσαν ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
9Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”
10Καὶ λήψομαι τὴν ῥάβδον μου τὴν καλὴν, καὶ ἀποῤῥίψω αὐτὴν, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς πάντας τοὺς λαοὺς,
10I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11καὶ διασκεδασθήσεται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ γνώσονται οἱ Χαναναῖοι τὰ πρόβατα τὰ φυλασσόμενά μοι, διότι λόγος Κυρίου ἐστί.
11It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.
12Καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, εἰ καλὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐστι, δότε τὸν μισθόν μου, ἢ ἀπείπασθε· καὶ ἔστησαν τὸν μισθόν μου τριακοντα ἀργυροῦς.
12I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, κάθες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον, καὶ σκέψομαι εἰ δόκιμόν ἐστιν, ὃν τρόπον ἐδοκιμάσθην ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς, καὶ ἐνέβαλον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον.
13The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter—the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house.
14Καὶ ἀπέῤῥιψα τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν δευτέραν τὸ Σχοίνισμα, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν κατάσχεσιν ἀναμέσον Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἰσραήλ.
14Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἔτι λάβε σεαυτῷ σκεύη ποιμενικὰ ποιμένος ἀπείρου·
15The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ποιμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, τὸ ἐκλιμπάνον οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψηται, καὶ τὸ ἐσκορπισμένον οὐ μὴ ζητήσῃ, καὶ τὸ συντετριμμένον οὐ μὴ ἰάσηται, καὶ τὸ ὁλόκληρον οὐ μὴ κατευθύνῃ, καὶ τὰ κρέα τῶν ἑκλεκτῶν καταφάγεται, καὶ τοὺς ἀστραγάλους αὐτῶν ἐκστρέψει.
16For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17Ὢ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ μάταια, καταλελοιπότες τὰ πρόβατα, μάχαιρα ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν τὸν δεξιὸν αὐτοῦ, ὁ βραχίων αὐτοῦ ξηραινόμενος ξηρανθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς ὁ δεξιὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκτυφλούμενος ἐκτυφλωθήσεται.
17Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
