Zechariah 11
1 Open, O Lebanon, your doors, And fire devours among your cedars.
Meghee ọnụ ụzọ gị niile, gị Lebanọn. Ka ọkụ repịa osisi sida gị niile.
2 Howl, O fir, for the cedar has fallen, For their majestic ones were destroyed, Howl, you oaks of Bashan, For the enclosed forest has come down,
Kwasie akwa ike, gị osisi junipa, nʼihi na osisi sida adaala, nʼihi na e mebiela osisi ukwu ndị niile ahụ mabigara mma oke. Kwasienụ akwa ike, unu osisi ook nke Bashan, nʼihi na e gbudachala oke ọhịa ahụ!
3 A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For their robe of honor was destroyed, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For the excellence of Jordan was destroyed.
Gee ntị nʼụzụ akwa nke ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, e mebiela ebe ịta nri mara mma nke anụ ụlọ ha. Gee ntị ka unu nụrụ olu mbigbọ nke ụmụ ọdụm, nʼihi na e bibiela oke ọhịa nke Jọdan.
4 Thus said my God YHWH: “Feed the flock of the slaughter,
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke m kwuru, “Zụọnụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a ga-egbu egbu nri.
5 Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed [is] YHWH, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.
Ndị na-azụrụ ha na-egbu ha ma ọ dịghị ahụhụ na-abịakwasị ha. Ndị na-erekwa ha na-asị, ‘Toonu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na abụ m ọgaranya.’ Ndị ọzụzụ ha adịghị enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ha.
6 For I no longer have pity on inhabitants of the land, A declaration of YHWH, And behold, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbor, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.”
Nʼihi na mụ onwe m agakwaghị egosi ndị ala a obi ebere.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m ewere onye ọbụla nʼime ha nyefee nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, na nʼaka eze ha. Ha ga-ebibi ala a kpamkpam, ma mụ onwe m agaghị anapụta onye ọbụla site nʼaka ha.”
7 And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, you afflicted of the flock; and I take two staffs to myself; I have called one Pleasantness, and I have called the other Bands, and I feed the flock.
Nʼihi ya, azụrụ m igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ a ga-egbu egbu, nke ka nke, ndị ahụ a na-emegbu emegbu. Eweere m mkpanaka abụọ, kpọọ otu nʼime ha Amara, kpọọ nke ọzọ Ịdị nʼotu. Azụkwara m igwe atụrụ ndị ahụ.
8 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul has abhorred me.
Nʼime otu ọnwa, ewezugara m ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ atọ. Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ kpọkwazịrị m asị, enwezighị m ike nweere ha ndidi.
9 And I say, “I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
Nʼihi ya, ekwuru m si, “Agaghị m abụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ unu ọzọ. Nke ọbụla na-anwụ, ya nwụọ, ọzọ, nke na-ala nʼiyi, ya laa nʼiyi. Ka ndị fọdụrụ rie anụ ahụ ibe ha.”
10 And I take my staff Pleasantness, and cut it apart, to make void my covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
Mgbe ahụ, eweere m mkpanaka m, nke a kpọrọ Amara gbajie ya abụọ, igosi na emebiela m ọgbụgba ndụ nke mụ na ndị mmadụ gbara.
11 and it is broken in that day, and the afflicted of the flock who are observing me know well, that it [is] a word of YHWH.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka e mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ gharakwa ịdị. Mgbe ahụ, ndị ahụ a na-akpagbu nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ ahụ, bụ ndị na-ele m anya matara na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
12 And I say to them: “If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, refrain”; and they weigh out my hire—thirty pieces of silver.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị unu, unu kwụọ m ụgwọ ọrụ m, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ masịghị unu, deberenụ onwe unu ego unu.” Nʼihi nke a, ha gụpụtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, jiri ya kwụọ m ụgwọ.
13 And YHWH says to me, “Cast it to the potter”; the good price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them [into] the house of YHWH, to the potter.
Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite,” bụ ọnụahịa magburu onwe ya bụ nke ha rụrụ nʼisi m. Ya mere, eweere m iri ọlaọcha atọ ahụ tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
14 And I cut apart my second staff, Bands, To break the unity between Judah and Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, agbajiri m mkpanaka m nke abụọ a na-akpọ Ịdị nʼotu, izipụta na njikọta maọbụ ịdị nʼotu dị nʼetiti Juda na Izrel adịghịkwa.
15 And YHWH says to me, “Again take to yourself the instrument of a foolish shepherd.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Chịrịkwa ngwa ọrụ nke onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nzuzu ahụ,
16 For behold, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he does not inspect, The shaken off he does not seek, And the broken he does not heal, The standing he does not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he eats, And their hooves he breaks off.
nʼihi na ana m aga ịkpọlite otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke na-agaghị elekọta ụmụ atụrụ furu efu, maọbụ chọọ ndị na-etolite, maọbụ gwọọ ndị merụrụ ahụ, maọbụ nye ndị ahụ dị ike nri. Kama ọ ga-eri anụ atụrụ ndị ahụ ahụ ha dị mma, nyakapụkwa ụkwụ ha niile.
17 Woe [to] the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword [is] on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!”
“Ahụhụ dịrị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ahụ na-abaghị uru, nke na-adịghị elezi igwe ewu na atụrụ ya anya. Ka mma agha gbupụ ya otu aka, ghụpụkwa ya anya aka nri ya. Ka ogwe aka ya kpọnwụọkwa kpamkpam. Otu a, anya aka nri ya ga-akpọkwa.”
