< Zechariah 11 >

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Lebanon, ikasla kewa srungul lom, Tuh e uh in ku in esukak sak cedar nukewa sunom!
2 Wail, O cypress-tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the glorious ones are spoiled; wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come 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 Hark! the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is spoiled; Hark! the roaring of young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are 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 said the LORD my God: 'Feed the flock of 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 whose buyers slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say: Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity 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 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.'
(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 So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Graciousness, and the other I called Binders; 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 the three shepherds in one month; 'for My soul became impatient of them, and their soul also loathed Me.'
Nga semutengla sin tolu pac mwet shepherd su srungayu, ac nga siselosla nufon ke malem sefanna.
9 Then said I: 'I will not feed you; that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are left eat every one the flesh of another.'
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 staff Graciousness, and cut it asunder, 'that I might break My covenant which I had made with all the peoples.'
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 broken in that day; and the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew of a truth that it was 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 unto them: 'If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear.' So they weighed for my hire 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 unto me: 'Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that I was prized at of them.' And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the treasury, in the house of the LORD.
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 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Binders, that the brotherhood between Judah and Israel might be broken.
Na nga kotalik sak soko aklukwa ma pangpang “Nunak Sefanna,” ah, ac nunak sefanna inmasrlon Judah ac Israel wanginla.
15 And the LORD said unto me: 'Take unto 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, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not think of those that are cut off, neither will seek those that are young, nor heal that which is broken; neither will he feed that which standeth still, but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and will break their hoofs in pieces.'
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 Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up, 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.”
