Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Fakaava ho ngaahi matapā, ʻe Lepanoni, koeʻuhi ka keina ʻe he afi hoʻo ngaahi sita.
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.
ʻAe ʻakau ko e fea, tangi; he kuo hinga ʻae sita; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae kau mālohi: ʻioho, ʻe ngaahi ʻoke ʻi Pesani, koeʻuhi kuo tulaki hifo ʻae vao vaine.
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.
ʻOku ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mamahi ʻae kau tauhi; he kuo u maumauʻi ho nāunau: ko e leʻo ʻoe fanga laione mui ʻoku ngungulu; he kuo maumauʻi ʻae fielahi ʻa Sioatani.
4 Thus said the LORD my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko hoku ʻOtua; “Fafanga ʻae fanga manu ki he tāmatea;
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.
ʻOku tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻekinautolu ʻoku nau ʻonautolu, pea ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku nau tonuhia; pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova; he ʻoku ou koloaʻia:’ pea naʻa mo ʻenau kau tauhi ʻanautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
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.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe manavaʻofa ki he kakai ʻoe fonua: kae vakai, te u tukuange ʻae tangata taki taha ki he nima ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ki he nima ʻo hono tuʻi: pea te nau taaʻi ʻae fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei honau nima.”
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.
Pea te u fafanga ʻae fanga manu ʻoku tāmatea, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu. Naʻaku toʻo kiate au ʻae tokotoko ʻe ua; pea naʻaku fakahingoa ʻae taha ko “Matamatalelei,” pea ko e taha naʻaku fakahingoa ko “Nonoʻo;” pea ne u fafanga ʻae fanga manu.
8 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Naʻaku motuhi foki ʻae kau tauhi ʻe toko tolu ʻi he māhina pe taha; pea naʻe fehiʻa hoku laumālie kiate kinautolu, pea fehiʻa foki honau laumālie kiate au.
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.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u kei fafanga ʻakimoutolu: ko ia ʻe mate, tuku pe ke mate; pea ko ia ʻe motuhi, tuku pe ke motuhi atu; pea ko hono toe, tuku ke fekainaki honau kakano.”
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.
“Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻeku tokotoko ko Matamatalelei, pea u tuʻu ua ia, koeʻuhi ke u maumau ʻae fuakava, ʻaia naʻaku fai mo e kakai kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻe maumauʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ko ia naʻe ʻilo pau ai ʻe he kau masiva ʻi he fanga manu, ʻakinautolu naʻe tatali kiate au, ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihova.
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.
Pea ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu, tuku mai haʻaku totongi; pea ka ʻikai, pea ʻoua.” Ko ia naʻa nau fakamamafa ʻeku totongi, ko e konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu: ko e totongi lelei ʻaia naʻa nau fakatatau au ki ai.” Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea lī ia ki he tufunga ngaohi ipu, naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Hili ia naʻaku tuʻu ua ʻa ʻeku tokotoko ʻe taha ʻaia ko Nonoʻo, koeʻuhi ke u maumauʻi ʻae fakakāinga ʻa Siuta, mo ʻIsileli.”
15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Toʻo kiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻoe tauhi vale.
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.
He vakai, Te u fakatupu ha tauhi ʻi he fonua, ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻoku motuhi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne kumi ʻaia ʻoku kei mui, pe te ne fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo lavea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fafanga ʻaia ʻoku taʻefaʻaʻalu: ka te ne kai ʻae kakano ʻo ia ʻoku sino, mo ne haehae ke iikiiki ʻa honau ngeʻesi vaʻe.
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.
Malaʻia ki he tauhi taʻeʻaonga, ʻaia ʻoku siʻaki ʻene fanga manu! ʻE tō ʻae heletā ki hono nima, pea mo hono mata toʻomataʻu: ʻe mate ʻaupito ʻa hono nima, pea ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻaupito ʻa hono mata toʻomataʻu.”
