1 Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour your cedars!2 Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen; the stately trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan; the dense forest has been cut down!3 Listen to the wail of the shepherds; their rich pastures are destroyed! Listen to the roar of the lions; the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!4 This is what the LORD my God says: "Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Praise the LORD, I am rich!' Their own shepherds do not spare them.6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land," declares the LORD. "I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands."7 So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds. The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them9 and said, "I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another's flesh."10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.11 It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the LORD.12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.13 And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter" —the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD.14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.15 Then the LORD said to me, "Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.17 "Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!"

1 افتح ابوابك يا لبنان فتأكل النار ارزك.2 ولول يا سرو لان الارز سقط لان الاعزاء قد خربوا. ولول يا بلوط باشان لان الوعر المنيع قد هبط.3 صوت ولولة الرعاة لان فخرهم خرب. صوت زمجرة الاشبال لان كبرياء الاردن خربت.4 هكذا قال الرب الهي ارع غنم الذبح5 الذين يذبحهم مالكوهم ولا يأثمون وبائعوهم يقولون مبارك الرب قد استغنيت. ورعاتهم لا يشفقون عليهم.6 لاني لا اشفق بعد على سكان الارض يقول الرب بل هانذا مسلّم الانسان كل رجل ليد قريبه وليد ملكه فيضربون الارض ولا انقذ من يدهم7 فرعيت غنم الذبح. لكنهم اذل الغنم. واخذت لنفسي عصوين فسميت الواحدة نعمة وسميت الاخرى حبالا ورعيت الغنم.8 وابدت الرعاة الثلاثة في شهر واحد وضاقت نفسي بهم وكرهتني ايضا نفسهم.9 فقلت لا ارعاكم. من يمت فليمت ومن يبد فليبد والبقية فلياكل بعضها لحم بعض10 فاخذت عصاي نعمة وقصفتها لانقض عهدي الذي قطعته مع كل الاسباط.11 فنقض في ذلك اليوم وهكذا علم اذل الغنم المنتظرون لي انها كلمة الرب.12 فقلت لهم ان حسن في اعينكم فاعطوني اجرتي والا فامتنعوا. فوزنوا اجرتي ثلاثين من الفضة.13 فقال لي الرب القها الى الفخاري الثمن الكريم الذي ثمنوني به. فاخذت الثلاثين من الفضة والقيتها الى الفخاري في بيت الرب.14 ثم قصفت عصاي الاخرى حبالا لانقض الإخاء بين يهوذا واسرائيل15 فقال لي الرب خذ لنفسك بعد ادوات راع احمق.16 لاني هانذا مقيم راعيا في الارض لا يفتقد المنقطعين ولا يطلب المنساق ولا يجبر المنكسر ولا يربّي القائم ولكن ياكل لحم السمان وينزع اظلافها17 ويل للراعي الباطل التارك الغنم. السيف على ذراعه وعلى عينه اليمنى. ذراعه تيبس يبسا وعينه اليمنى تكلّ كلولا
