Zekaria 11
1 Yaye Lebanon, yaw dhorangeyeni, mondo mach owangʼ yiendeni mag sida!
Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, —that a fire, may devour, thy cedar,
2 Yaye yiend obudo, go nduru, nimar yiend sida osepodho; kendo yiende maboyo mabeyo oselwar piny. Un yiend ober mag Bashan; go nduru, nimar bungu ma yien ngʼenyie osebet oko.
Howl, fir-tree, for fallen is the cedar, because, the majestic ones, are spoiled: howl, ye oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest, hath come down.
3 Winjeuru ywak mar jokwath; nimar kuondegi mabeyo mag kwath osekethi. Winjeuru kaka sibuoche ruto, nimar bunge mag Jordan ma gidakie osekethi!
The noise of the howling of the shepherds, for spoiled is their majesty, —The noise of the roaring of the young lions, for spoiled are the proud banks of the Jordan.
4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha wacho: “Kwa rombe moiki ne yengʼo.
Thus, saith Yahweh my God, —Tend thou the flock doomed to slaughter:
5 Joma ngʼiewogi negogi kendo gidhi ma ok okumgi. Giloko ring-gi pesa kendo giwacho ni, ‘Opak Jehova Nyasaye nikech wasemewo!’ Jokwadhgi giwegi bende ok kechgi.”
Whose, buyers, slay them, and are not held guilty, and whose, sellers, say—Blessed be Yahweh, that I am become rich, And so, their own shepherds, have no pity upon them.
6 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Nikech koro ok abi kecho joma odak e piny, abiro chiwo ngʼato ka ngʼato e lwet ngʼat ma gidakgo machiegni kaachiel gi ruodhe. Gibiro sando piny, kendo ok anaresgi e lwetgi.”
Surely I will have pity no longer upon the inhabitants of the earth, Declareth Yahweh, —Therefore lo! I am delivering up mankind, every man into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king, and they will crush the earth, nor will I deliver out of their hand.
7 Omiyo, ne adoko jakwadh rombe mane oiki ne yengʼo, to moloyo, rombe mago mane isando. Eka nakawo ludhe ariyo, ma achiel kuomgi nachako ni Ngʼwono, to machielo nachako ni Riwruok, kendo nadoko jakwadh rombego.
So I tended the flock doomed to slaughter, for the sheep-merchants, —and took unto me two staves, the one, I called Grace, and, the other, I called Union, thus I tended the sheep,
8 E dwe achiel nariembo jokwath adekgo. Ne gijoga kendo ne asin kodgi
And I sent off three shepherds, in one month, —for impatient was my soul with them, moreover also, their soul, felt a loathing against me.
9 mi awacho niya, “Ok abi bedo jakwadhu. We joma tho otho, kendo we joma lal olal. Joma odongʼ to mondo ocham ringre jowetegi.”
Then said I—I will not tend you, —the dying, may die, and, the disappearing, may disappear, and, the remainder, may devour one another.
10 Eka nakawo ludha miluongo ni Ngʼwono mine ature, ka aketho winjruok mane asetimo motelo gi pinje duto.
So I took my staff Grace, and cut it in two, —that I might set aside my covenant which I had solemnised with all the peoples.
11 Ne oketh winjruokno chiengʼno, kendo mano nomiyo joma ne isando mane ranga nongʼeyo ni ne en wach Jehova Nyasaye.
When it was broken, on that day, then did the sheep- merchants who were watching me, know, that, the word of Yahweh, it was.
12 Nanyisogi niya, “Ka uparo ni en gima ber, to miyauru misacha, to ka ok kamano to beduru kode.” Omiyo ne gichula pesa mamingli mag fedha moromo piero adek.
Then said I unto them, If it be good in your eyes, give me my wage, and, if not, forbear. So they weighed out my wage, thirty pieces of silver.
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Chiw pok mar fedha piero adekgo mane giparo ni ema oromo gi jachwe agulni!” Omiyo nakawo fedha piero adekgo mi amiyo jachwe agulni e od Jehova Nyasaye.
Then said Yahweh unto me, Cast it into the treasury, the magnificent price at which I had been valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them, in the house of Yahweh, into the treasury.
14 Eka naturo ludha machielo miluongo ni riwruok, mi wat manie kind Juda gi Israel nokethore.
Then cut I in two my second staff, even Union, —that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Bangʼ mano Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kaw kendo ludheni mag kwath mondo ibed jakwath mofuwo.
Then said Yahweh unto me, —Yet further take thee the implements of a worthless shepherd.
16 Nimar abiro kelo jakwath moro machielo e piny ma ok bi dewo rombe molal, kata manyo rombe matindo, kata thiedho mago matuo, kata pidho mago ma dendgi ber, to kar timo kamano, to obiro chamo mago machwe kochamo nyaka orenge mag-gi.
For lo! I am raising up a shepherd in the land, the disappearing, will he not visit, the straying, will he not seek, and, the fractured, will he not bind up, —the weak, will he not nourish, but, the flesh of the fat, will he eat, and, their hoofs, will he break in pieces.
17 “Inine malit in jakwath manono ma jwangʼo rombe! Jakwath ma kamano onego bedene tal kendo wangʼe ma korachwich ochor! Mad bedene tal, kendo wangʼe ma korachwich ochor chuth!”
Alas! for my worthless shepherd, who forsaketh the flock, A sword upon his arm, and upon his right eye!—his arm, shall be, utterly withered, and, his right eye, shall be, wholly darkened.
