Zechariah 11
1 Open O Lebanon doors your so it may consume fire cedars your.
“O Lebanon, ʋu wò agbowo da ɖi siaa be dzo nabi wò sedatiwo!
2 Wail O cypress for it has fallen a cedar that majestic [trees] they have been devastated wail O oaks of Bashan for it has come down [the] forest (of the vintage. *Q(K)*)
Mifa avi, O logotiwo elabena sedati mu dze anyi, ati gãwo tsrɔ̃! Mi ati sesẽ siwo le Basan, mifa avi, elabena wolã avetsuawo ƒu anyi!
3 [the] sound of [the] wailing of The shepherds for it has been devastated splendor their [the] sound of [the] roaring of young lions for it has been devastated [the] thicket[s] of the Jordan.
Miɖo to alẽkplɔlawo ƒe avifafa, elabena woƒe lãnyiƒe damawo tsrɔ̃. Miɖo to dzatawo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃, elabena Yɔdan ƒe ave damawo tsrɔ̃!”
4 Thus he says Yahweh God my shepherd [the] flock of slaughter.
Yehowa, nye Mawu la gblɔ nam be, “Yi nàwɔ dɔ abe alẽkplɔla ene, eye nàkplɔ alẽ siwo woɖo ɖi na wuwu.
5 Which [those who] buy them they will kill them and not they will be held guilty and [those who] sell them he will say [be] blessed Yahweh so I may gain riches and shepherds their not he will have compassion on them.
Wo ƒlelawo wua wo yakatsyɔ, eye ame aɖeke mehea to na wo o. Ame siwo dzra wo la hã gblɔ be, ‘Mikafu Yehowa elabena mezu kesinɔtɔ!’ Woƒe kplɔlawo ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã mekpɔa wo ta o,
6 For not I will have compassion again on [the] inhabitants of the land [the] utterance of Yahweh and here! I [am] about to deliver everyone each in [the] hand of neighbor his and in [the] hand of king his and they will crush the land and not I will deliver [it] from hand their.
elabena nyemagakpɔ nublanui na anyigbadzinɔlawo o.” Yehowae gblɔe. “Malé ame sia ame ade asi na ehavi kple eƒe fia. Woate anyigba la ɖe to, eye nyemaɖe wo tso woƒe asi me o.”
7 And I shepherded [the] flock of slaughter therefore [the] afflicted [ones] of the flock and I took for myself two staffs one I called Favor and one I called Union and I shepherded the flock.
Ale nye ŋutɔ mekplɔ alẽha si woɖo ɖi na wuwu, vevietɔ wo dometɔ siwo wote ɖe anyi. Metsɔ atizɔti eve, meyɔ ɖeka be Dɔmefafa, evelia be Ɖekawɔwɔ, eye mekpɔ alẽha la ta.
8 And I annihilated [the] three the shepherds in a month one and it was short self my with them and also self their it loathed me.
Le ɣleti ɖeka me la, meɖe alẽkplɔla etɔ̃ katã ɖa. Alẽha la lé fum, eye woƒe nu ti kɔ nam.
9 And I said not I will shepherd you the [one which] dies let it die and the [one which] is being destroyed let it be destroyed and those [which] survive let them devour each [the] flesh of [female] neighbor its.
Megblɔ be, “Nyemaganye miaƒe kplɔla o. Ame siwo le kukum la neku, eye ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m la netsrɔ̃. Ame siwo susɔ la nelé wo nɔewo ɖu.”
10 And I took staff my Favor and I cut up it to break covenant my which I had made with all the peoples.
Ale metsɔ nye atikplɔ si meyɔ be Dɔmefafa la, meŋee, eye metu nu si mebla kple dukɔwo.
11 And it was broken on the day that and they knew thus [the] afflicted [ones] of the flock who were watching me that [was] [the] word of Yahweh it.
Metu nubabla la gbe ma gbe, eye ame siwo nu ti kɔ na le alẽhawo me, esi wole kpɔyem la, nyae be enye Yehowa ƒe nya.
12 And I said to them if it is good in view your give wage[s] my and if not - refrain and they weighed out wage[s] my thirty silver.
Megblɔ na wo be, “Ne edze mia ŋu la, ekema mixe nye fe nam, gake ne medze mia ŋu o la, mitsɔe.” Ale woxe klosaloga blaetɔ̃ nam.
13 And he said Yahweh to me throw it to the potter [the] magnificence of the value which I was valued from with them and I took! thirty the silver and I threw it [the] house of Yahweh to the potter.
Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Tsɔe ƒu gbe ɖe zemela ŋu.” Eyae nye home gã si wosusu be mexɔ! Ale metsɔ klosaloga blaetɔ̃ la ƒu gbe ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe nudzraɖoƒe.
14 And I cut up staff my second Union to break the brotherhood between Judah and between Israel.
Azɔ meŋe nye atikplɔ evelia si meyɔ be Ɖekawɔwɔ la, ale meŋe ɖekawɔwɔ si le Yuda kple Israel dome.
15 And he said Yahweh to me again take for yourself [the] equipment of a shepherd foolish.
Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Tsɔ alẽkplɔla tsibome ƒe lãkplɔnu,
16 For here! I [am] about to raise up a shepherd in the land those [which] are being destroyed not he will visit the young man not he will seek and the [one which] is maimed not he will heal the [one which] stands firm not he will sustain and [the] flesh of the fat [sheep] he will eat and hooves their he will tear off.
elabena mele alẽkplɔla aɖe ɖo ge ɖe anyigba la nu si makpɔ alẽ bubuwo ta alo adi alẽviwo alo abla abi na esiwo xɔ abi alo adi nuɖuɖu na esiwo le sesĩe la o, ke boŋ aɖu alẽ nyuitɔwo ƒe lã, eye wòavuvu woƒe afɔkliwo.
17 Woe to! shepherd of my worthlessness [who] abandons the flock a sword [will be] on arm his and on [the] eye of right [side] his arm his totally it will wither and [the] eye of right [side] his certainly it will grow dim.
“Baba na alẽkplɔla ɖigbɔ̃ la, ame si gblẽ alẽha la ɖi! Yi nelã eƒe abɔ, eye wòaho eƒe ɖusimeŋku! Eƒe abɔ nedzo ɖo agu, eye eƒe ɖusimeŋku nagbã keŋkeŋ!”
