< Zechariah 11 >

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Mokili ya Libani, fungola bikuke na yo mpo ete moto ezikisa banzete na yo ya sedele!
2 Wail, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the fine ones are destroyed. Wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
Nzete ya sipele, lela, pamba te nzete ya sedele esili kokweya! Banzete milayi esili kokatama. Banzete ya sheni ya Bashani, bolela; pamba te basili kokata zamba monene!
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 laid waste.
Boyoka ndenge babateli bibwele bazali kolela, pamba te bitando epai wapi baleisaka bibwele ebebisami. Boyoka ndenge bankosi ezali koganga, pamba te zamba ya Yordani, oyo etonda na banzete, esili kobebisama.
4 Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, alobi: — Batela malamu bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma!
5 whose possessors kill them, and hold themselves not guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich, and their own shepherds pity them not.
Bato oyo basombaka bibwele yango babomaka yango, bazalaka na somo ya etumbu ata moko te. Bato oyo batekaka yango balobaka: « Tika ete Yawe apambolama, pamba te nakomi mozwi! » Mpe bango moko babateli na yango bayokelaka yango mawa ata moke te.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says Jehovah. But, lo, I will deliver the men each one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. And they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver them out of their hand.
Yango wana Ngai mpe nakoyokela lisusu bato ya mokili mawa te, nakokaba moto na moto na maboko ya moninga na ye mpe ya mokonzi na ye. Bakonzi bakobebisa mokili, kasi nakokangola ata moto moko te wuta na maboko ya bakonzi yango, elobi Yawe.
7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took to me two staves, the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands, and I fed the flock.
Boye, nabatelaki malamu bameme oyo babongisaki mpo na koboma; mpe mingi penza bameme oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi. Nakamataki mangenda mibale: nabengaki moko Ngolu, mpe mosusu, Bomoko. Bongo, nakomaki kobatela bameme.
8 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Na sanza moko kaka, nabomaki babateli bibwele misato; nakokaki lisusu kokanga motema te, mpe etonga eyinaki ngai.
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 one the flesh of another.
Nalobaki na etonga ya bibwele: — Nakozala lisusu mobateli na bino te. Tika ete oyo ekokufa ekufa na yango, oyo ekobunga ebunga na yango; mpe tika ete oyo ekotikala ebomana yango na yango!
10 And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
Nakamataki lingenda oyo nabengaki Ngolu, nabukaki yango mpo na kotalisa ete boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bikolo nyonso esili.
11 And it was broken in that day, and thus the poor of the flock who gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
Boyokani esilaki nde na mokolo wana; bongo, etonga oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi mpe ezalaki kotala ngai esosolaki ete ezalaki solo Liloba na Yawe.
12 And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my wage, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wage thirty pieces of silver.
Nalobaki na bango: — Soki bomoni ete ezali malamu, bopesa ngai lifuti na ngai; soki te, botika na bino. Bafutaki ngai mbongo ya bibende ya palata tuku misato lokola lifuti na ngai.
13 And Jehovah said to me, Cast it to the potter, the good price that I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
Mpe Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Bwaka yango epai ya mosali mbeki; yango nde motuya ya malonga oyo bamoni ete ekoki na Ngai! Nakamataki mbongo yango ya bibende tuku misato mpe nabwakaki yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, epai ya mosali mbeki.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Bongo nabukaki lisusu lingenda ya mibale oyo nabengaki Bomoko, mpo na kotalisa ete bondeko kati na libota ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele ekufi.
15 And Jehovah said to me, Take to thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kamata lisusu bisalelo ya mobateli bibwele ya zoba!
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound, but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
Pamba te nakobimisa kati na mokili mobateli bibwele ya sika oyo akobanda koluka te bibwele oyo ebungi, akolandela te bana bibwele, akosalisa te bapota ya bibwele oyo ezoki, akoleisa te oyo ezali na nzoto kolongono, kasi akobanda koliaka misuni ya bibwele ya mafuta mpe kobuka yango makolo.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye. His arm shall be entirely dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Mawa na mobateli bibwele ya zoba oyo asundolaka etonga na ye! Tika ete mopanga ekata ye loboko mpe etobola ye liso oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali! Tika ete loboko na ye ekawuka, solo, ekawuka penza! Tika ete liso na ye, oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ekufa, ekufa solo!
