Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Whakatuwheratia, ou kuwaha, e Repanona, kia kai ai te ahi i ou hita.
2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Aue, e te kauri; kua hinga hoki te hita, kua pahuatia nga mea ataahua; aue, e nga oki o Pahana, kua riro iho hoki te ngahere kahore nei e taea atu!
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.
He reo no nga hepara e aue ana; no te mea kua oti to ratou kororia te pahua; he reo no nga kuao raiona e ngengere ana; no te mea kua oti te whakapehapeha o Horano te pahua.
4 Thus saith Yhwh my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a toku Atua, Whangaia nga hipi, nga mea e patua ana;
5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be Yhwh; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
E patua ana hoki e nga tangata nana, te ai he whakahe ake: ko te ki a o ratou kaihoko, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa; kua whiwhi hoki ahau ki te taonga: kahore hoki he manawapa o o ratou hepara ki a ratou.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Yhwh: 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.
E kore hoki ahau e manawapa ki nga tangata o te whenua a muri ake nei, e ai ta Ihowa: engari na, ka tukua nga tangata ki te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa, ki te ringa ano o tona kingi: a ma ratou te whenua e patu; e kore ano ahau e whakaora i a ra tou i roto i o ratou ringa.
7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Grace, and the other I called Union; and I fed the flock.
Na kei te whangai ahau i nga hipi e patua ana, i nga mea iti ano o te kahui. I tikina ano e ahau etahi tokotoko e rua moku, tapa iho e ahau tetahi ko Ataahua, tetahi tapa iho e ahau, ko nga Paihere; na kei te whangai ahau i nga hipi.
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
He mea hatepe ano naku nga hepara tokotoru i te marama kotahi; i whakarihariha hoki toku wairua ki a ratou, ko o ratou wairua hoki i whakarihariha ki ahau.
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, 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.
Katahi ahau ka ki atu, E kore koutou e whangaia e ahau: ko te mea mo te mate kia mate, ko te mea e hatepea kia hatepea; kia kai hoki nga toenga i nga kikokiko o tona hoa, o tona hoa.
10 And I took my staff, even Grace, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
Na kua mau ahau ki toku tokotoko ki a Ataahua, tapahia putia ana e ahau, he whakatakanga i taku kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki nga iwi katoa.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of Yhwh.
Na kua whakataka i taua ra; a mohio tonu iho nga mea iti o te kahui i tatari ki ahau, na Ihowa taua kupu.
12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
I mea ano ahau ki a ratou, Ki te mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro, homai toku utu; ki te kahore, kauaka. Na paunatia mai ana toku utu e ratou, e toru tekau hiriwa.
13 And Yhwh said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of Yhwh.
Na ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Maka atu ki te kaihanga rihi te utu pai i whakaritea moku e ratou. Na ka mau ahau ki nga hiriwa e toru tekau, a maka atu ana e ahau ki te kaihanga rihi i te whare o Ihowa.
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Katahi ka tapahia putia e ahau te rua o oku tokotoko, ara nga Paihere, kia kore ai te tuakanatanga o Hura ki a Iharaira.
15 And Yhwh said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina ano etahi mea a te hepara wairangi mau.
16 For, lo, 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 standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
No te mea, na, ka ara i ahau tetahi hepara i te whenua; e kore ia e tirotiro i nga mea ka motuhia atu, e kore e rapu i nga mea kua marara, e kore e rongoa i te mea he whati tona, e kore ano e whangai i te mea e toitu ana: engari ka kainga e ia t e kikokiko o te mea momona, ko o ratou matikuku titaritaria rawatia e ia.
17 Woe to the vain 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.
Aue, te mate mo te hepara hauwarea, e whakarere ana i nga hipi! ka pa te hoari ki tona ringa, ki tona kanohi matau: ka memenge rawa tona ringa, ka pouri rawa tona kanohi matau.
