< Zechariah 11 >

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Mokili ya Libani, fungola bikuke na yo mpo ete moto ezikisa banzete na yo ya sedele!
2 Howl, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down.
Nzete ya sipele, lela, pamba te nzete ya sedele esili kokweya! Banzete milayi esili kokatama. Banzete ya sheni ya Bashani, bolela; pamba te basili kokata zamba monene!
3 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.
Boyoka ndenge babateli bibwele bazali kolela, pamba te bitando epai wapi baleisaka bibwele ebebisami. Boyoka ndenge bankosi ezali koganga, pamba te zamba ya Yordani, oyo etonda na banzete, esili kobebisama.
4 Thus said the LORD my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, alobi: — Batela malamu bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma!
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.
Bato oyo basombaka bibwele yango babomaka yango, bazalaka na somo ya etumbu ata moko te. Bato oyo batekaka yango balobaka: « Tika ete Yawe apambolama, pamba te nakomi mozwi! » Mpe bango moko babateli na yango bayokelaka yango mawa ata moke te.
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.
Yango wana Ngai mpe nakoyokela lisusu bato ya mokili mawa te, nakokaba moto na moto na maboko ya moninga na ye mpe ya mokonzi na ye. Bakonzi bakobebisa mokili, kasi nakokangola ata moto moko te wuta na maboko ya bakonzi yango, elobi Yawe.
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 Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Boye, nabatelaki malamu bameme oyo babongisaki mpo na koboma; mpe mingi penza bameme oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi. Nakamataki mangenda mibale: nabengaki moko Ngolu, mpe mosusu, Bomoko. Bongo, nakomaki kobatela bameme.
8 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Na sanza moko kaka, nabomaki babateli bibwele misato; nakokaki lisusu kokanga motema te, mpe etonga eyinaki ngai.
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 them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.
Nalobaki na etonga ya bibwele: — Nakozala lisusu mobateli na bino te. Tika ete oyo ekokufa ekufa na yango, oyo ekobunga ebunga na yango; mpe tika ete oyo ekotikala ebomana yango na yango!
10 And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
Nakamataki lingenda oyo nabengaki Ngolu, nabukaki yango mpo na kotalisa ete boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bikolo nyonso esili.
11 And it was broken in that day: and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
Boyokani esilaki nde na mokolo wana; bongo, etonga oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi mpe ezalaki kotala ngai esosolaki ete ezalaki solo Liloba na Yawe.
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.
Nalobaki na bango: — Soki bomoni ete ezali malamu, bopesa ngai lifuti na ngai; soki te, botika na bino. Bafutaki ngai mbongo ya bibende ya palata tuku misato lokola lifuti na ngai.
13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of the LORD.
Mpe Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Bwaka yango epai ya mosali mbeki; yango nde motuya ya malonga oyo bamoni ete ekoki na Ngai! Nakamataki mbongo yango ya bibende tuku misato mpe nabwakaki yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, epai ya mosali mbeki.
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Bongo nabukaki lisusu lingenda ya mibale oyo nabengaki Bomoko, mpo na kotalisa ete bondeko kati na libota ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele ekufi.
15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kamata lisusu bisalelo ya mobateli bibwele ya zoba!
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek those that be scattered, nor heal that that is broken; neither shall he feed that which is sound, but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and shall tear their hoofs in pieces.
Pamba te nakobimisa kati na mokili mobateli bibwele ya sika oyo akobanda koluka te bibwele oyo ebungi, akolandela te bana bibwele, akosalisa te bapota ya bibwele oyo ezoki, akoleisa te oyo ezali na nzoto kolongono, kasi akobanda koliaka misuni ya bibwele ya mafuta mpe kobuka yango makolo.
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.
Mawa na mobateli bibwele ya zoba oyo asundolaka etonga na ye! Tika ete mopanga ekata ye loboko mpe etobola ye liso oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali! Tika ete loboko na ye ekawuka, solo, ekawuka penza! Tika ete liso na ye, oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ekufa, ekufa solo!
