Zechariah 11
1 Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars.
Lebanon, ikasla kewa srungul lom, Tuh e uh in ku in esukak sak cedar nukewa sunom!
2 Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down.
Sak cypress, komtal in tung ac mwemelil — Tuh sak cedar uh nukewa ikorla; Sak na wowo ingo kunausyukla! Sak oak lun Bashan, komtal in tung ac mwemelil — Tuh insak matol uh pakpukla sak we uh!
3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled.
Mwet leum elos wowoyak ke asor; Wolana lalos wanginla! Porongo ngutngut lun lion uh. Insak ma elos muta we sisken Infacl Jordan uh, kunausyukla!
4 Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
LEUM GOD luk El fahk nu sik, “Oru acnu mu kom pa mwet shepherd se ma un sheep natu ah akola in anwuki.
5 Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not.
Mwet ma natu sheep uh elos uniya, a tiana kalyeiyuk elos. Elos kukakin ikwa kac uh ac fahk, ‘Kaksakin LEUM GOD! Kut kasrupi!’ Finne shepherd uh, elos tia pac pakomuta sheep elos karingin uh.”
6 And I will no more spare the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: behold I will deliver the men, every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall destroy the land, and I will not deliver it out of their hand.
(LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah tia sifilpa pakomuta kutena mwet fin faclu. Nga sifacna ac fah sang mwet nukewa nu ye ku lun mwet leum lalos. Mwet leum inge fah sukela faclu, ac nga fah tia molela faclu liki ku lalos.”)
7 And I will feed the hock of slaughter for this, O ye poor of the dock. And I took unto me two rods, one I called Beauty, and the other I called a Cord, and I fed the flock.
Elos su molela ac kukakunla sheep uh elos moli nu sik nga in orekma lalos, ac nga lac pa mwet shepherd lun sheep ma akola in anwukla uh. Nga tuh srukak polosak lukwa. Soko nga pangon “Pakoten” ac nga sang inen ma soko ngia “Nunak Sefanna.” Ac nga karingin un sheep uh.
8 And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard.
Nga semutengla sin tolu pac mwet shepherd su srungayu, ac nga siselosla nufon ke malem sefanna.
9 And I said: I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die: and that which is cut off, let it be cut off: and let the rest devour every one the flesh of his neighbour.
Na nga fahk nu sin un sheep uh, “Nga ac tila mwet shepherd lowos. Lela ma ac misa uh in tari misa, ac ma ac kunausyukla uh in tari kunausyukla. Na elos su lula fah forani sifacna kunausla sie sin sie.”
10 And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people.
Na nga eis sak soko ma pangpang “Pakoten” ah, ac koteya, in kunausla wuleang se su LEUM GOD El tuh orala yurin mutunfacl nukewa ah.
11 And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord.
Ouinge wulela sac sisila ke len sac. Elos su molela ac kukakunla sheep uh liyeyu, ac etu lah LEUM GOD El kaskas in ma nga oru ah.
12 And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
Na nga fahk nu selos, “Fin wo suwos, kowos molema nu sik molin orekma luk uh. Tusruktu kowos fin tia lungse, tari nimet moli”. Ke ma inge elos ase nu sik ipin silver tolngoul, in moli orekma luk.
13 And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Filiya silver ingan in nien fil mwe kasrup lun Tempul.” Ouinge nga usla ipin silver tolngoul — su elos pangon lupa na yohk se, ma ac fal nu sik — ac filiya in nien fil mwe kasrup lun Tempul.
14 And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel.
Na nga kotalik sak soko aklukwa ma pangpang “Nunak Sefanna,” ah, ac nunak sefanna inmasrlon Judah ac Israel wanginla.
15 And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Sifilpa oru acnu mu kom pa mwet shepherd se, a ke fwil se inge kom in mwet shepherd na wangin sripa se.
16 For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs.
Nga filiya mwet shepherd se in taran un sheep nutik, tusruktu el tiana kasru sheep su apkuran in kunausyukla ah, ac tia pacna suk sheep ma tuhlac kac ah, ku unwala sheep ma kinet uh, ku kite ma ku kac uh. A el kang ikwen sheep fact oemeet uh, ac olela falkalos kewa.
17 O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Mwet shepherd wangin sripa sac el ac sun lukelos. Mweun ac fah arulana kunausla kewa ku lal. La paol ac fah ulla, ac la mutal layot ac fah kunla.”
