Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doores, O Lebanon, and the fire shall deuoure thy cedars.
Fakaava ho ngaahi matapā, ʻe Lepanoni, koeʻuhi ka keina ʻe he afi hoʻo ngaahi sita.
2 Houle, firre trees: for the cedar is fallen, because all the mightie are destroyed: houle ye, O okes of Bashan, for ye defesed forest is cut downe.
ʻAe ʻakau ko e fea, tangi; he kuo hinga ʻae sita; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae kau mālohi: ʻioho, ʻe ngaahi ʻoke ʻi Pesani, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻae vao vaine.
3 There is the voyce of the houling of the shepherdes: for their glorie is destroyed: the voyce of ye roaring of lyons whelpes: for the pride of Iorden is destroyed.
ʻOku ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mamahi ʻae kau tauhi; he kuo u maumauʻi ho nāunau: ko e leʻo ʻoe fanga laione mui ʻoku ngungulu; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae fielahi ʻa Sioatani.
4 Thus sayeth the Lord my God, Feede the sheepe of the slaughter.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko hoku ʻOtua; “Fafanga ʻae fanga manu ki he tāmatea;
5 They that possesse them, slay them and sinne not: and they that sell them, say, Blessed be the Lord: for I am riche, and their owne shepherds spare them not.
ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻekinautolu ʻoku nau ʻonautolu, pea ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku nau tonuhia; pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku ou koloaʻia:’ pea naʻa mo ʻenau kau tauhi ʻanautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
6 Surely I wil no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayth the Lord: but loe, I will deliuer the men euery one into his neighbours hand, and into the hand of his King: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hands I wil not deliuer them.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe manavaʻofa ki he kakai ʻoe fonua: kae vakai, te u tukuange ʻae tangata taki taha ki he nima ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ki he nima ʻo hono tuʻi: pea te nau taaʻi ʻae fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei honau nima.”
7 For I fed the sheepe of slaughter, euen the poore of the flocke, and I tooke vnto me two staues: the one I called Beautie, and the other I called Bandes, and I fed the sheepe.
Pea te u fafanga ʻae fanga manu ʻoku tāmatea, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu. Naʻaku toʻo kiate au ʻae tokotoko ʻe ua; pea naʻaku fakahingoa ʻae taha ko “Matamatalelei,” pea ko e taha naʻaku fakahingoa ko “Nonoʻo;” pea ne u fafanga ʻae fanga manu.
8 Three shepherdes also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule lothed them, and their soule abhorred me.
Naʻaku motuhi foki ʻae kau tauhi ʻe toko tolu ʻi he māhina pe taha; pea naʻe fehiʻa hoku laumālie kiate kinautolu, pea fehiʻa foki honau laumālie kiate au.
9 Then said I, I will not feede you: that that dyeth, let it dye: and that that perisheth, let it perish: and let the remnant eate, euery one the flesh of his neighbour.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u kei fafanga ʻakimoutolu: ko ia ʻe mate, tuku pe ke mate; pea ko ia ʻe motuhi, tuku pe ke motuhi atu; pea ko hono toe, tuku ke fekainaki honau kakano.”
10 And I tooke my staffe, euen Beautie, and brake it, that I might disanull my couenant, which I had made with all people.
“Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻeku tokotoko ko Matamatalelei, pea u tuʻu ua ia, koeʻuhi ke u maumau ʻae fuakava, ʻaia naʻaku fai mo e kakai kotoa pē.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poore of the sheepe that waited vpon me, knew that it was the worde of the Lord.
Pea naʻe maumauʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ko ia naʻe ʻilo pau ai ʻe he kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu, ʻakinautolu naʻe tatali kiate au, ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova.
12 And I said vnto them, If ye thinke it good, giue me my wages: and if no, leaue off: so they weighed for my wages thirtie pieces of siluer.
Pea ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu, tuku mai haʻaku totongi; pea ka ʻikai, pea ʻoua.” Ko ia naʻa nau fakamamafa ʻeku totongi, ko e konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu.
13 And the Lord said vnto me, Cast it vnto the potter: a goodly price, that I was valued at of them. And I tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu: ko e totongi lelei ʻaia naʻa nau fakatatau au ki ai.” Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu, naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
14 Then brake I mine other staffe, euen the Bandes, that I might dissolue the brotherhood betweene Iudah and Israel.
Hili ia naʻaku tuʻu ua ʻa ʻeku tokotoko ʻe taha ʻaia ko Nonoʻo, koeʻuhi ke u maumauʻi ʻae fakakāinga ʻa Siuta, mo ʻIsileli.”
15 And the Lord said vnto me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepheard.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Toʻo kiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻoe tauhi vale.
16 For loe, I will rayse vp a shepheard in the land, which shall not looke for the thing, that is lost, nor seeke the tender lambes, nor heale that that is hurt, nor feede that that standeth vp: but he shall eate the flesh of the fat, and teare their clawes in pieces.
He vakai, Te u fakatupu ha tauhi ʻi he fonua, ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻoku motuhi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne kumi ʻaia ʻoku kei mui, pe te ne fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo lavea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fafanga ʻaia ʻoku taʻefaʻaʻalu: ka te ne kai ʻae kakano ʻo ia ʻoku sino, mo ne haehae ke iikiiki ʻa honau ngeʻesi vaʻe.
17 O idole shepheard that leaueth the flocke: the sword shalbe vpon his arme, and vpon his right eye. His arme shall be cleane dryed vp, and his right eye shall be vtterly darkened.
Malaʻia ki he tauhi taʻeʻaonga, ʻaia ʻoku siʻaki ʻene fanga manu! ʻE tō ʻae heletā ki hono nima, pea mo hono mata toʻomataʻu: ʻe mate ʻaupito ʻa hono nima, pea ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻaupito ʻa hono mata toʻomataʻu.”
