WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Líbano! ¡Abre tus puertas, para que el fuego devore tus cedros!
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Lloren, pinos, por todos los cedros destruidos; los más altos y hermosos de ellos cayeron. ¡Griten de miedo, encinas de Basán! ¡Lloren por ese enorme bosque que ha sido devorado por el fuego!
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 escucha el llanto de los pastores al ver cómo desaparece la pradera! ¡Se oye el rugido triste de los leones que quedan en desamparado! ¡La llanura fértil del Jordán se ha convertido en paraje desolado y triste!
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 Entonces me dijo el Señor mi Dios: «Apacienta las ovejas que van a ser llevadas al matadero.
4 Yahweh my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 Los que las compran, las matan sin sentir ninguna culpa; y los que las venden dicen: “¡Gracias a Dios, ahora soy rico!”. Ni siquiera a sus propios pastores les importa su suerte.
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 Por ello tampoco yo tendré compasión de la gente de este país, dice el Señor. Dejaré que sus propios jefes impíos se apoderen de ellos. Dejaré que los exploten y opriman, y no haré nada por defenderlos».
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 Así que tomé dos varas de pastor y las llamé «Gracia» y «Unión», y apacenté las ovejas, es decir, a la gente más desprotegida del pueblo, en la forma que se me había ordenado.
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 Me deshice de tres pastores malvados en un solo mes. Realmente no podía soportar su ineficacia, además de que ellos me odiaban.
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9 Así que les dije: «No seré más su pastor. La que muera, que muera. Si las matan, no me importará. Sigan adelante, ¡destrúyanse ustedes mismas! ¡Cómanse unas a otras, si eso es lo que quieren!».
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 Entonces tomé la vara de pastor llamada «Gracia» y la partí. De este modo di a entender que Dios había roto el pacto de gracia que había hecho con todas las naciones.
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 Eso puso fin al pacto. Entonces los que miraban comprendieron que Dios les daba un mensaje por medio de lo que hice.
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 Y yo dije a los jefes: «Si les parece bien, páguenme mi salario, lo que estimen conveniente, y si no, quédense con él». Entonces ellos me dieron como pago solamente treinta monedas de plata.
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 Entonces el Señor me dijo: «¡Toma esas monedas, ese “espléndido salario” que me han dado, y deposítalas en la tesorería del templo!». Así que tomé las treinta moneditas y las eché en la tesorería.
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 Entonces quebré la otra vara de pastor, a la que había llamado «Unión», para mostrar que el lazo de unión entre Judá e Israel quedaba roto.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Luego el Señor me dijo: «Ahora te vestirás como uno de esos malos pastores, que no cuidan a sus ovejas.
15 Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 Porque voy a darle a esta nación un pastor que no se preocupará de las moribundas; no buscará las pequeñas, ni curará a las heridas, ni llevará a las cansadas en sus brazos; en cambio, se comerá a las gordas y les romperá las pezuñas».
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 ¡Ay del pastor que no sirve para nada, que abandona su rebaño! ¡Que una espada le hiera su brazo, y no le quede sirviendo para nada! ¡Que un cuchillo le saque su ojo derecho, para que no vuelva a ver con él!
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.
