Zekhariah 11
1 Lebanon nang loh na thohkhaih ong lamtah, na lamphai te hmai loh hlawp saeh.
Open, O Lebanon, your doors, And fire devours among your cedars.
2 Lamphai loh a cungku dongah hmaical khaw rhung saeh. Bashan thingnu aka khuet khaw rhoelrha uh dongah rhung laeh saeh. Duup kah thingding a cakrhuet te bung coeng.
Howl, O fir, for the cedar has fallen, For their majestic ones were destroyed, Howl, you oaks of Bashan, For the enclosed forest has come down,
3 A bu a rhoelrha pah dongah boiva aka dawn kah rhungol olthang mah, Jordan kah hoemdamnah a rhoelrha pah dongah sathuengca kah kawknah ol rhoe mah.
A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For their robe of honor was destroyed, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For the excellence of Jordan was destroyed.
4 Kai kah Pathen Yahweh loh he ni a thui. Ngawnnah dongkah boiva te luem sak laeh.
Thus said my God YHWH: “Feed the flock of the slaughter,
5 Amih kah a ngawn a lai uh dae a boe uh moenih. Amih aka yoi tah BOEIPA te a uem uh tih, “Ka boei,” a ti uh. Te dongah amih aka dawn long khaw amih te lungma ti pawh.
Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed [is] YHWH, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.
6 Te dongah diklai khosa rhoek soah lungma ka ti voel moenih. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Kai loh hlang te ka yan coeng. Hlang boeih he a hui kut dongah, a manghai kut dongah ka tloeng. Te vaengah khohmuen te a soek uh akhaw amih kut lamloh ka huul mahpawh.
For I no longer have pity on inhabitants of the land, A declaration of YHWH, And behold, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbor, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.”
7 Boiva he a mang a daeng tangkhuet dongah ngawnnah kah boiva te ka luem puei. Kamah loh conghol panit ka loh tih pakhat te mueithen ka sui, pakhat te cabol ka sui tih boiva te ka luem puei.
And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, you afflicted of the flock; and I take two staffs to myself; I have called one Pleasantness, and I have called the other Bands, and I feed the flock.
8 Hla khat ah boiva aka dawn pathum ka thup. Amih taengah ka hinglu pawn tih amih hinglu long khaw kai he n'tuei.
And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul has abhorred me.
9 Te phoeiah, “Nangmih te kan luem puei mahpawh. Aka duek te duek saeh lamtah aka pat tah pat mai saeh. A sueng khaw huta loh a hui kah a saa te ca ngawn saeh,” ka ti.
And I say, “I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
10 Te phoeiah kamah kah conghol mueithen te ka loh tih ka paipi aka phae taengah ka khaem pah. Te kah te pilnam boeih neh ka saii.
And I take my staff Pleasantness, and cut it apart, to make void my covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
11 Te khohnin ah a phae coeng. Te dongah boiva mang aka daeng sak loh kai aka ngaithuen BOEIPA kah ol ni tila a ming uh van.
and it is broken in that day, and the afflicted of the flock who are observing me know well, that it [is] a word of YHWH.
12 Te phoeiah amih te, “Na mik dongah a then mak atah ka thapang m'pae uh lamtah a then pawt atah paa uh,” ka ti nah. Te dongah ka thapang tangka sawmthum han sang uh.
And I say to them: “If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, refrain”; and they weigh out my hire—thirty pieces of silver.
13 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai te, “Umponah tangpueng tah amsai hamla voeih pah,” a ti. Amih taeng lamkah tah ka kueinah dongah tangka sawmthum ka khuen tih BOEIPA im kah imsa taengah ka voeih pah.
And YHWH says to me, “Cast it to the potter”; the good price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them [into] the house of YHWH, to the potter.
14 Te phoeiah Judah laklo neh Israel laklo kah pacaboeina te paa sak hamla kamah kah conghol pabae, cabol te ka khaem.
And I cut apart my second staff, Bands, To break the unity between Judah and Israel.
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Tu dawn ang kah hnopai te namah loh koep loh pah.
And YHWH says to me, “Again take to yourself the instrument of a foolish shepherd.
16 Khohmuen ah tu aka dawn ka thoh coeng ne. Aka ving khaw tae pawt vetih a ca khaw toem mahpawh, aka khaem khaw toi mahpawh, aka pai khaw cangbam mahpawh. Tedae a saa toitup te a caak vetih a khomae a maeng pah ni.
For behold, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he does not inspect, The shaken off he does not seek, And the broken he does not heal, The standing he does not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he eats, And their hooves he breaks off.
17 Anunae, a honghi la aka dawn tih boiva aka hnoo aih. A ban neh a bantang mik dongah cunghang tlaeh ni. A ban te koh la koh saeh lamtah a bantang mik hmang la hmang saeh,” a ti.
Woe [to] the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword [is] on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!”
