Zechariah 11
1 Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars.
Ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ sílẹ̀, ìwọ Lebanoni, kí iná bá lè jẹ igi kedari rẹ run.
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.
Hu, igi junifa; nítorí igi kedari ṣubú, nítorí tí a ba àwọn igi tí o lógo jẹ́: hu, ẹ̀yin igi óákù tí Baṣani, nítorí gé igbó àjàrà lulẹ̀.
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.
Gbọ́ ohun igbe àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn; ògo wọn bàjẹ́; gbọ́ ohùn bíbú àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún nítorí ògo Jordani bàjẹ́.
4 Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi wí: “Bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa.
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.
Tí àwọn olúwa wọn ń pa wọ́n, tí wọn kò sì ka ara wọn sí pé wọn jẹ̀bi: àti àwọn tí ń tà wọ́n wí pé, ‘Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa, nítorí tí mo dí ọlọ́rọ̀!’ Àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn kò sì ṣàánú wọn.
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.
Nítorí èmi kì yóò ṣàánú fún àwọn ara ilẹ̀ náà mọ́,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ṣí kíyèsi í, èmi yóò fi olúkúlùkù ènìyàn lé aládùúgbò rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, àti lé ọwọ́ ọba rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì fọ́ ilẹ̀ náà, èmi kì yóò sì gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ wọn.”
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.
Èmi yóò sì bọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa, àní ẹ̀yin òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran. Mo sì mu ọ̀pá méjì sọ́dọ̀; mo pè ọ̀kan ni Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo pè èkejì ni Àmùrè; mo sì bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà.
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.
Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mẹ́ta ni mo sì gé kúrò ní oṣù kan. Ọkàn mi sì kórìíra wọn, ọkàn wọn pẹ̀lú sì kórìíra mi.
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.
Mo sì wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò bọ́ yin: èyí ti ń ku lọ, jẹ́ kí òkú o kú; èyí tí a o ba sì gé kúrò, jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò; ki olúkúlùkù nínú àwọn ìyókù jẹ́ ẹran-ara ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.”
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.
Mo sì mu ọ̀pá mi, ti a ń pè ní Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo ṣẹ́ si méjì, ki èmi bá lè da májẹ̀mú mi tí mo tí bá gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà dá.
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.
Ó sì dá ni ọjọ́ náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà tí ó dúró tì mí mọ̀ pé, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni.
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.
Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá dára ní ojú yin, ẹ fún mi ni owó ọ̀yà mi; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ẹ mú un lọ́wọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wọn ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà fún iye owó ọ̀yà mi.
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.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Sọ ọ sí amọ̀kòkò.” Iye dáradára náà, tí wọn yọ owó mi sí. Mo sì mu ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà náà, mo sì sọ wọ́n sí àpótí ìṣúra ní ilé Olúwa.
14 And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel.
Mo sì ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá mi kejì, àní Àmùrè, sí méjì, kí èmi lè ya ìbátan tí ó wà láàrín Juda àti láàrín Israẹli.
15 And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Tún mú ohun èlò aṣiwèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí Èmi o gbé Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan dìde ni ilẹ̀ náà, tí kí yóò bẹ àwọn tí ó ṣègbé wò, ti kì yóò sì wá èyí tí ó yapa; tí kì yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú èyí tí a pa lára tàbí kí ó bọ́ àwọn tí ara wọn dá pépé: Ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò jẹ ẹran èyí tí ó ni ọ̀rá, àwọn èyí tiwọn fi èékánná wọn ya ara wọn pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ.
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.
“Ègbé ni fún olùṣọ́-àgùntàn asán náà, tí ó fi ọ̀wọ́ ẹran sílẹ̀! Idà yóò gé apá rẹ̀ àti ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀: apá rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ pátápátá, ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀ yóò sì fọ́ pátápátá!”
