Zechariah 11	Zaccaria 11
Zechariah 11:1 Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.	Zaccaria 11:1 Libano, apri le tue porte, e il fuoco divori i tuoi cedri!
Zechariah 11:2 Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.	Zaccaria 11:2 Urla, cipresso, perché il cedro è caduto, e gli alberi magnifici son devastati! Urlate, querce di Basan, perché la foresta impenetrabile è abbattuta!
Zechariah 11:3 The sound of the crying of the keepers of the flock! for their glory is made waste: the sound of the loud crying of the young lions! for the pride of Jordan is made waste.	Zaccaria 11:3 S’odono i lamenti de’ pastori perché la loro magnificenza è devastata; s’ode il ruggito dei leoncelli perché le rive lussureggianti del Giordano son devastate.
Zechariah 11:4 This is what the Lord my God has said: Take care of the flock of death;	Zaccaria 11:4 Così parla l’Eterno, il mio Dio: "Pasci le mie pecore destinate al macello,
Zechariah 11:5 Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.	Zaccaria 11:5 che i compratori uccidono senza rendersi colpevoli, e delle quali i venditori dicono: Sia benedetto l’Eterno! Io m’arricchisco, e che i loro pastori non risparmiano affatto.
Zechariah 11:6 For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.	Zaccaria 11:6 Poiché io non risparmierò più gli abitanti del paese, dice l’Eterno, anzi, ecco, io abbandonerò gli uomini, ognuno in balìa del suo prossimo e in balìa del suo re; essi schiacceranno il paese, e io non libererò alcun dalle lor mani.
Zechariah 11:7 So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.	Zaccaria 11:7 Allora io mi misi a pascere le pecore destinate al macello, e perciò le più misere del gregge; e mi presi due verghe; chiamai l’una Favore e l’altra Vincoli, e mi misi a pascere il gregge.
Zechariah 11:8 And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.	Zaccaria 11:8 E sterminai i tre pastori in un mese; l’anima mia perdette la pazienza con loro, e anche l’anima loro m’avea preso a sdegno.
Zechariah 11:9 And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.	Zaccaria 11:9 E io dissi: "Non vi pascerò più; la moribonda muoia, quella che sta per perire perisca, e quelle che restano, divorino l’una la carne dell’altra".
Zechariah 11:10 And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.	Zaccaria 11:10 E presi la mia verga Favore e la spezzai, per annullare il patto che avevo stretto con tutti i popoli.
Zechariah 11:11 And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord.	Zaccaria 11:11 E quello fu annullato in quel giorno; e le pecore più misere del gregge che m’osservavano, conobbero che quella era la parola dell’Eterno.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.	Zaccaria 11:12 E io dissi loro: "Se vi par bene, datemi il mio salario; se no, lasciate stare". Ed essi mi pesarono il mio salario; trenta sicli d’argento.
Zechariah 11:13 And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.	Zaccaria 11:13 E l’Eterno mi disse: "Gettalo per il vasaio, questo magnifico prezzo, al quale m’hanno stimato!" E io presi i trenta sicli d’argento, e li gettai nella casa dell’Eterno per il vasaio.
Zechariah 11:14 Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.	Zaccaria 11:14 Poi spezzai l’altra verga Vincoli, per rompere la fratellanza fra Guida e Israele.
Zechariah 11:15 And the Lord said to me, Take again the instruments of a foolish keeper of sheep.	Zaccaria 11:15 E l’Eterno mi disse: "Prenditi anche gli arnesi d’un pastore insensato.
Zechariah 11:16 For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.	Zaccaria 11:16 Perché, ecco, io susciterò nel paese un pastore che non si curerà delle pecore che periscono, non cercherà le disperse, non guarirà le ferite, non nutrirà quelle che stanno in piè, ma mangerà la carne delle grasse, e strapperà loro fino le unghie".
Zechariah 11:17 A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.	Zaccaria 11:17 Guai al pastore da nulla, che abbandona il gregge! La spada gli colpirà il braccio e l’occhio destro. Il braccio gli seccherà del tutto, e l’occhio destro gli si spegnerà interamente.
