< Zechariah 11 >
1 Open, O Lebanon, your doors, And fire devours among your cedars.
Ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ sílẹ̀, ìwọ Lebanoni, kí iná bá lè jẹ igi kedari rẹ run.
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,
Hu, igi junifa; nítorí igi kedari ṣubú, nítorí tí a ba àwọn igi tí o lógo jẹ́: hu, ẹ̀yin igi óákù tí Baṣani, nítorí gé igbó àjàrà lulẹ̀.
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.
Gbọ́ ohun igbe àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn; ògo wọn bàjẹ́; gbọ́ ohùn bíbú àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún nítorí ògo Jordani bàjẹ́.
4 Thus said my God YHWH: “Feed the flock of the slaughter,
Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi wí: “Bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa.
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.
Tí àwọn olúwa wọn ń pa wọ́n, tí wọn kò sì ka ara wọn sí pé wọn jẹ̀bi: àti àwọn tí ń tà wọ́n wí pé, ‘Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa, nítorí tí mo dí ọlọ́rọ̀!’ Àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn kò sì ṣàánú wọn.
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.”
Nítorí èmi kì yóò ṣàánú fún àwọn ara ilẹ̀ náà mọ́,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ṣí kíyèsi í, èmi yóò fi olúkúlùkù ènìyàn lé aládùúgbò rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, àti lé ọwọ́ ọba rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì fọ́ ilẹ̀ náà, èmi kì yóò sì gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ wọn.”
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.
Èmi yóò sì bọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa, àní ẹ̀yin òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran. Mo sì mu ọ̀pá méjì sọ́dọ̀; mo pè ọ̀kan ni Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo pè èkejì ni Àmùrè; mo sì bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà.
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.
Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mẹ́ta ni mo sì gé kúrò ní oṣù kan. Ọkàn mi sì kórìíra wọn, ọkàn wọn pẹ̀lú sì kórìíra mi.
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.”
Mo sì wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò bọ́ yin: èyí ti ń ku lọ, jẹ́ kí òkú o kú; èyí tí a o ba sì gé kúrò, jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò; ki olúkúlùkù nínú àwọn ìyókù jẹ́ ẹran-ara ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.”
10 And I take my staff Pleasantness, and cut it apart, to make void my covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
Mo sì mu ọ̀pá mi, ti a ń pè ní Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo ṣẹ́ si méjì, ki èmi bá lè da májẹ̀mú mi tí mo tí bá gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà dá.
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.
Ó sì dá ni ọjọ́ náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà tí ó dúró tì mí mọ̀ pé, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni.
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.
Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá dára ní ojú yin, ẹ fún mi ni owó ọ̀yà mi; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ẹ mú un lọ́wọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wọn ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà fún iye owó ọ̀yà mi.
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.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Sọ ọ sí amọ̀kòkò.” Iye dáradára náà, tí wọn yọ owó mi sí. Mo sì mu ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà náà, mo sì sọ wọ́n sí àpótí ìṣúra ní ilé Olúwa.
14 And I cut apart my second staff, Bands, To break the unity between Judah and Israel.
Mo sì ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá mi kejì, àní Àmùrè, sí méjì, kí èmi lè ya ìbátan tí ó wà láàrín Juda àti láàrín Israẹli.
15 And YHWH says to me, “Again take to yourself the instrument of a foolish shepherd.
Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Tún mú ohun èlò aṣiwèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí Èmi o gbé Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan dìde ni ilẹ̀ náà, tí kí yóò bẹ àwọn tí ó ṣègbé wò, ti kì yóò sì wá èyí tí ó yapa; tí kì yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú èyí tí a pa lára tàbí kí ó bọ́ àwọn tí ara wọn dá pépé: Ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò jẹ ẹran èyí tí ó ni ọ̀rá, àwọn èyí tiwọn fi èékánná wọn ya ara wọn pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ.
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!”
“Ègbé ni fún olùṣọ́-àgùntàn asán náà, tí ó fi ọ̀wọ́ ẹran sílẹ̀! Idà yóò gé apá rẹ̀ àti ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀: apá rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ pátápátá, ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀ yóò sì fọ́ pátápátá!”
