Zechariah 11
1 Vo Lebanon nakot jouse honglen in chuleh na Cedar thing jouse mei kahlhahsah tan,
Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour your cedars.
2 Vo chahthingho, Cedar thing alhuhgam jeh in kapmin ajeh chu thing thupitah tahho alhu gam tauve. Kap uvin Bashan gangpi phungho ajeh chu gammang thingphung bitchah ho akisa tlha gam tai.
Wail, pine-tree, for the cedar is fallen. Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has fallen.
3 Kelngoi chingho kale penkhu ngaijun, ajehchu agam phalai chengseu akisumang gamtai. Keipinou ho ham ngaijun, ajehchu Jordan phaicham thing jouse agam hel tai.
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds! Their glory is destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions! Blasted is the thick forest of the Jordan.
4 Pakai Pathen in hitin aseije: “cheuvin, thadinga kigong gancha hokhu gaching tan.
The Lord said to me: shepherd the flock destined for slaughter,
5 Achohon khohsahlou hellin kelngoite athat gamtauve. Ajoh hochun Pathen thangvah in umhen, ajeh chu keihi ka haotave kelngoiching ho jeng in jong khotona anei pouve.
whose possessors slaughter them, and hold themselves not guilty! The people who sell them say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich! And their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
6 Hitobanga chu kenjong agamsunga chengho chunga khotona kaneilouding ahi tin Pakaiyin aseije. Ahinla keiman amahochu aheng akomteu le alengteu khutna kapehdoh ding, amahon agam uchu asuhgam diu, ahinla keiman kahuhdoh loudiu ahi.
I will no longer have pity on the people of this earth, says the Lord. I will turn neighbor against neighbor, and put everyone under the power of a king, and when the land is devastated I will not rescue them.
7 Chuteng keiman thadinga kigong suhgentheija um ganchaho chu ka vesuijin ahi. Hijouchun kelngoi chingho mol chu ni kachoijin, khatchu ngailutna ahin, khatchu kipumkhatna ahi.
So I shepherded the flock of slaughter for the sheep-merchants. I took two staffs: one I called Mercy and the other I called Union. So I shepherded the sheep.
8 Keiman kelngoi ching miphalou thumchu lhakhat sung in ka sumang in ahi. Keima hiche kelngoi chinhi ka chim tan chuleh amaho jong achim tauvin ahi.
I set aside three of the shepherds in one month; for I was indignant against them, and they also were displeased at me.
9 Hijeh chun keiman kasei jin, keima nangho kelngoiching hita ponge, na thiule thitauvin, min nathau jongleh nathat tauvinte chule ahing nalai hochu khat le khat kithat to jing un katin ahi.
I said, I will not shepherd you. What is dead, let it die. What is set aside, let it be set aside. And let those who are left devour one another’s flesh.
10 Hichun Keiman ngailut kiti ka mol pachu kalan bohni kason hichun keiman chitin namtoh kinoptona kana sem chu kasuhbei ahitai ti vetsahna a kabol ahi.
And I took my staff, Mercy, and broke it, so as to break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11 Hichu amaho toh kikinoptona achaina ahitai. Gancha hon lengvai hochun keima eive uvin, hichehi Pakaiyin anatoh a thu asei ahitai etiuve.
In that day it was broken, and the sheep-merchants who watched me knew that it was the Lord’s message.
12 Hichun keiman akom uva kaseijin, na deijun nalung lhaina’u ahileh kathaman neipeuvin nalungu ahilouleh haijun kati. Hichun amahon katahman ding in dangka somthum eipeuve.
And I said to them, “If it is good in your sight, give me my wage. If not, don’t.” So they weighed out my wage, thirty pieces of silver.
13 Pakaiyin kakom ah hitin aseije. Hiche sum thupitah keima mankham bep dinga eikipe chu Pakai houin sum kholna-a chun lehluttan eiti. Hichun keiman jong dangka somthum chu kalan Pakai houin sumkholna munna chun kalehluttan ahi.
And the Lord said to me, Cast it into the treasury – the precious wage that at which I was valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the house of the Lord, into the treasury.
14 Chujouvin kamol khatpa kipumkhatna chu kalan bohni kason Judah leh Israel kipumkhatna chu akehtai ti kavetsahna ahitai.
Then I broke my second staff called Union so as to dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Jerusalem.
15 Hichun Pakaiyin ka komma hitin aseije: “chenlang kelngoi ching phachom lou pan mun khu galo tan eiti.
And the Lord said to me: Take again the implements of a worthless shepherd.
16 Hiche hin avetsah chu keiman hiche nammite hi akelngoi teu athi amang umjongleh khohsahlou anousenho jong ka simlou adamlou jong jen nom lou adamthei hojong vah nomlou kelngoi ching phachomlou khat kapeh diu ahi” ati. Chuche tai louvin jong hiche kelngoi chingpa chun akelngoi thaopen pen hochu atin teni kikah geija abottel a anehjeng ding ahi.
For I am about to appoint a shepherd over the land. Those who are thrust down he will not visit. Those who are scattered he will not seek out. The wounded he will not heal, the sick he will not make whole, but the flesh of the fat he will devour and even their hoofs he will tear.
17 Ohe! Kelngoi ching phachom lou ho, kelngoi hon dalhaho! Chemjamin abanjang asat tanpeh ding chuleh amitchang jetlang kikheudoh pehding, abangjong chu pannabei hiding, ajetlang mitchu chodel jeng ding ahi.
Woe to my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye. May his arm completely wither. And his right eye be blinded.
