Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
Yaa Libaanoon, akka ibiddi birbirsa kee gubee fixuuf balbala kee banadhu!
2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Yaa muka gaattiraa, birbirsi kufeeraatii wawwaadhu; mukkeen ulfina qaban badaniiru! Yaa qilxuu Baashaan wawwaadhu; bosonni gobbuun ciramee dhumeera!
3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
Wawwaannaa tiksootaa dhaggeeffadhaa; lafti tika isaanii inni gabbataan barbadaaʼeeraatii! Aaduu leencaa dhagaʼaa; bosonni Yordaanos gobbuun sun barbadaaʼeeraatii!
4 Thus says the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Waaqayyo Waaqni koo akkana jedha: “Bushaayee qalmaaf qopheeffaman tiksi.
5 Whose possessors 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.
Warri isaan bitatan, qalatanii utuu hin adabamin hafu. Warri gurguratanis, ‘Waaqayyoon galanni haa gaʼu; ani sooressa!’ jedhu. Tiksoonni isaanii garaa isaaniif hin laafan.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD: but, see, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’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.
Ani siʼachi uummata biyyattiitiif garaa hin laafuutii” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani nama hunda dabarsee ollaa isaatii fi mootii isaatti nan kenna. Isaan biyyattii ni rukutu; anis harka isaaniitii isaan hin baasu.”
7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Kanaafuu ani bushaayee qalmaaf qopheeffaman, keessumattuu kanneen bushaayee cunqurfaman nan tikfadhe. Ergasii ani ulee lama fudhadhee isa tokkoon Surraa isa kaaniin immoo Tokkummaa jedheen moggaase; akkasiinis bushaayee nan tikfadhe.
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
Ani jiʼuma tokko keessatti tiksoota sadan nan balleesse. Lubbuun koo isaan balfite; lubbuun isaaniis na balfite;
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
akkanas jedheen; “Ani tiksee keessan hin taʼu. Kan duʼu haa duʼu; kan badus haa badu. Kanneen hafanis foon walii haa nyaatan.”
10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
Ergasii ani kakuu saboota hunda wajjin gale cabsuudhaaf ulee koo kan Surraa jedhamu fuudhee nan cabse.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited on me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
Innis guyyuma sana cabe; kanaafuu bushaayeen dhiphatan kanneen na ilaalaa turan akka wanni kun dubbii Waaqayyoo taʼe beekan.
12 And I said to them, If you think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Anis, “Yoo wanni kun waan gaarii isinitti fakkaate, gatii koo naaf kennaa; yoo taʼuu baate immoo dhiisaa” nan jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan meetii soddoma naaf kennan.
13 And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Waaqayyos gatii gaarii isaan itti na shallagan sana, “Mankuusa keessa buusi!” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu ani meetii soddomman sana fuudhee mana Waaqayyoo keessatti mankuusa keessa nan buuse.
14 Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Ergasii ani obbolummaa Yihuudaatii fi Israaʼel diiguudhaaf ulee koo lammaffaa kan Tokkummaa jedhamu sana nan cabse.
15 And the LORD said to me, Take to you yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Kana irratti Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Ammas miʼa tiksee gowwaa sanaa fuudhi.
16 For, see, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
Ani kunoo biyyattii keessatti tiksee hoolotaa nan kaasa; innis isa bade hin yaadatu; isa joore hin barbaadu; isa cabe hin walʼaanu; isa fayye hin sooru; garuu foon coomaa ni nyaata; kottee isaaniis ni caccabsa.
17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves the flock! the sword shall be on his arm, and on his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
“Tiksee faayidaa hin qabne kan bushaayee gatee deemuuf wayyoo! Goraadeen irree isaatii fi ija isaa mirgaa haa dhaʼu! Irreen isaa guutumaan guutuutti haa goggogu; iji isaa mirgaa guutumaan guutuutti haa jaamu!”
