Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
Mokili ya Libani, fungola bikuke na yo mpo ete moto ezikisa banzete na yo ya sedele!
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.
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 ruined.
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 The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, alobi: — Batela malamu bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma!
5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds do not pity them.
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 the LORD; “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.”
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 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.
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 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 other’s flesh.”
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 I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that 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 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.
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 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.
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 The LORD 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 the LORD’s house.
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, Union, 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 The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kamata lisusu bisalelo ya mobateli bibwele ya zoba!
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.
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 will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
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!
