Zechariah 11 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 ¡Abre tus puertas, Líbano, para que el fuego arda entre tus cedros!
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 ¡Llora, abeto, porque ha caído el cedro y han sido derribados los grandes árboles! ¡Lloren, robles de Basán, porque han caído los árboles fuertes del bosque!
2 Wail, 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.
3 ¡Se oye el llanto de los pastores, porque su gloria ha sido destruida! ¡Se oye el rugido de los leones jóvenes, porque ha sido destruido el orgullo del Jordán!
3 A 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.
4 Así dice el Señor mi Dios: «Cuida del rebaño destinado a la muerte.
4 Yahweh my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 Sus dueños matan a las ovejas sin sentirse culpables. Los que las venden dicen: Alabado sea el Señor, porque me he hecho rico. Sus pastores no tienen compasión de ellas.
5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
6 Yo tampoco volveré a tener compasión de los habitantes de esta tierra, dice el Señor. Entregaré a cada uno en manos de su prójimo y de su rey. Ellos devastarán la tierra, y yo no los libraré de sus manos».
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says Yahweh; “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.”
7 Cuidé del rebaño destinado a la muerte para quienes obtenían ganancias de él. Tomé dos cayados: llamé a uno Hermosura y al otro Lazos. Así cuidé del rebaño.
7 So 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.
8 En un solo mes eliminé a los tres pastores. Yo estaba cansado de ellos y ellos me aborrecían.
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9 Dije: «No los cuidaré más. La que haya de morir, que muera; la que haya de ser destruida, que sea destruida. Que las demás se coman unas a otras».
9 Then 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.”
10 Tomé mi cayado Hermosura y lo partí en dos, para romper el pacto que el Señor había hecho con todos los pueblos.
10 I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11 El pacto quedó roto ese día, y los comerciantes de ovejas que me observaban supieron que era la palabra del Señor.
11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was Yahweh’s word.
12 Les dije: «Si les parece bien, páguenme; si no, no lo hagan». Entonces pesaron treinta siclos de plata como pago por mi trabajo.
12 I 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.
13 El Señor me dijo: «Ponlo en el almacén, ese precio en que ellos me valoraron». Tomé los treinta siclos de plata y los puse en el almacén de la casa del Señor.
13 Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s house.
14 Después tomé el otro cayado, llamado Lazos, y lo partí en dos, para romper la relación de hermanos entre Judá e Israel.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 El Señor me dijo: «Toma de nuevo las herramientas de un pastor insensato.
15 Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 Pondré sobre esta tierra a un pastor que no cuidará de las que perecen, ni buscará a las extraviadas, ni curará a las heridas, ni alimentará a las enfermas. En cambio, comerá la carne de las gordas y dejará que se les rompan las patas.
16 For, 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.
17 ¡Maldito sea el pastor insensato que abandona el rebaño! La espada caerá sobre su brazo y su ojo derecho. Su brazo se secará por completo y su ojo quedará totalmente ciego».
17 Woe 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!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And I will say to them, If it be good in your sight, give me my price, or refuse, and the rest.
