Zechariah 11
1 [You people of] [APO] Lebanon [should] open your gates, [because you will not be able to stop] fire from burning your cedar [trees]!
ए लेबनान तेरा ढोकाहरू खोल्, ताकि आगोले तेरा देवदारुहरूलाई भस्म पारोस्!
2 Your cypress/pine [trees] [APO] should [also] wail because the cedar [trees] have been cut down. Those glorious/great trees have been destroyed. The oak trees in the Bashan [region] should also wail, because the other trees in the forest have been cut down.
ए सल्लोको रूख, विलाप गर्, किनकि देवदारुका रूखहरू ढलेका छन्! सुन्दर र महान् भनिएका कुराहरू ध्वस्त भएका छन्! ए बाशानका फलाँटका रूखहरू, विलाप गर, किनभने त्यो ठुलो जङ्गल सखाप भएको छ ।
3 And listen to the shepherds crying because the fertile pastures have been ruined. Listen to the lions roar; they roar because the delightful forest [where they live] near the Jordan [River] has been ruined.
गोठालाहरू वेदनामा रुन्छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूको महिमा नष्ट पारिएको छ! जवान सिंहहरू गर्जन्छन्, किनकि यर्दन नदीको घमण्ड नष्ट पारिएको छ ।
4 This is what Yahweh my God said [to me]: “[I want you to] become a shepherd for a flock [of sheep that are about] to be slaughtered.
परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “गोठालाले झैँ काटिनको निम्ति अलग गरिएको बगालको हेरचाह गर्!
5 The people who are going to buy the sheep will kill the sheep, and they will not be punished. Those who are selling the sheep say, ‘[I] praise Yahweh, [because] I will become rich!’ Even the shepherds do not feel sorry for the sheep.
ती किन्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई काट्छन् र तिनीहरूलाई सजाय दिइँदैन, र तिनीहरूलाई बेच्नेहरूले भन्छन्, ‘परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा होस्! म धनी भएको छु!’ किनकि बगालका मालिकहरूका निम्ति काम गर्ने गोठालाहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि दया देखाएनन् ।
6 And similarly, I no longer feel sorry for the people of this country. I am going to allow many of them [HYP] to be captured by other people or by their king. Those who capture them will ruin this country, and I will not rescue any [of the people].”
किनकि अब म भूमिमा बसोबास गर्नेहरूलाई दया देखाउनेछैनँ! - परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ । हेर, म हरेक मानिसलाई त्यसको छिमेकी र त्यसको राजाको हातमा सुम्पन लाग्दै छु, अनि तिनीहरूले भूमिलाई नष्ट गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूका हातबाट म कसैलाई पनि छुटाउनेछैन ।”
7 So I became the shepherd of a flock [of sheep that were about] to be slaughtered [for their meat to be sold] to the dealers. [I took good care of the sheep, even the ones that were the weakest sheep. Then] I took two [shepherds’] /walking sticks). I named the one [staff] ‘Kindness’ and the other [staff] ‘Union’. And I took good care of the sheep.
यसैकारण म काटिनको निम्ति चिन्ह लगाइएको भेडाको बगालको गोठालो बनेँ । मैले दुईवटा लौरो लिएँ: एउटा लौरोलाई मैले “अनुग्रह” नाउँ दिएँ र अर्कोलाई“एकता” नाउँ दिएँ । यसरी मैले बगालको हेरचाह गरेँ ।
8 But the three shepherds [who had been working with me] detested me, and I became impatient with them. Within one month I (dismissed/got rid of) those shepherds.
एक महिनामा मैले तिनवटा गोठालालाई नाश गरेँ । म तिनीहरूप्रति धैर्य भइनँ, र तिनीहरूले मलाई घृणा गरे ।
9 So I said [to the dealers], “I will no [longer] be the shepherd. I will allow the ones that are dying to die. I will allow the ones that are getting lost to get lost. And I will not prevent those that remain from destroying each other.”
अनि मैले मालिकहरूलाई भनेँ, “म अब तिमीहरूका निम्ति गोठालोको रूपमा काम गर्नेछैनँ । मर्न लागेका भेडाहरू मरून्, नष्ट भइरहेका भेडाहरूलाई नष्ट हुनदेऊ । बाँकी रहेको भेडोलेचाहिँ आफ्नो छिमेकीको मासु खाओस् ।”
10 Then I took the staff that I had named ‘Kindness’ and I broke it. [That showed that Yahweh] was annulling/canceling the agreement that he had made with all the people-groups.
यसैकारण मैले आफ्नो लौरो “अनुग्रह” लिएँ अनि आफ्ना सबै कुलहरूसँग गरेको करार तोड्नको निम्ति त्यो भाँचिदिएँ ।
11 So that agreement was ended immediately. And the men who bought and sold sheep who were watching me knew [by seeing what I was doing] that I was giving them a message from Yahweh.
त्यस दिन त्यो करार तोडियो, र भेडाको हेरचाह गर्नेहरू र मलाई हेर्नेहरूले परमप्रभु बोल्नुभएको थाहा पाए ।
12 I told them, “If you think it is what you should do, pay me [for taking care of the sheep]. If you do not think that is what you should do, do not pay me.” So they paid me [only] 30 pieces of silver.
मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनेँ, “यदि तिमीहरूलाई यो असल लागे, मलाई मेरो ज्याला देओ । तर तिमीहरूलाई असल नलागे, नदेओ ।” यसैले तिनीहरूले मेरो ज्याला चाँदीका तिस टुक्रा हिसाब गरे ।
13 Then Yahweh said to me, “[That is a ridiculously small amount of money that they have paid you]! [So] throw it to the man who makes clay pots!” So I took the silver to the temple of Yahweh, and I threw it in the chest where the offerings/money is kept.
अनि परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूले तेरो मुल्य तय गरेको उत्कृष्ट मोलमा त्यो चाँदी भण्डारमा जम्मा गर्!” यसैकारण मैले ती तिस टुक्रा चाँदी लिएर परमप्रभुको भवनमा भण्डारमा जम्मा गरेँ ।
14 Then I broke my second staff, [the one that I named] ‘Union’. That [indicated that] Judah and Israel would no longer be united.
अनि यहूदा र इस्राएलबिचको दाजुभाइको नातालाई तोड्नको निम्ति मैले मेरो दोस्रो लौरो “एकता” पनि भाँचे ।
15 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take again the things that a foolish shepherd uses,
परमप्रभुले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “फेरि, मूर्ख गोठालोको उपकरण तेरो निम्ति ली,
16 because I am going to appoint a new king for the people, [one who will not take care of my people. He will be like a foolish shepherd]: [MET] He will not take care of those who are dying, those who are very young, those who have been injured, or those who do not have enough food. Instead, he will [treat them very cruelly, like a shepherd who would] [MET] kill and eat the best sheep and tear off their hoofs.
किनभने हेर्, म भूमिमा एउटा गोठालो नियुक्त गर्दैछु । त्यसले हराउँदै गरेको भेडाको वास्ता गर्नेछैन । हराएको भेडालाई त्यो खोज्न जानेछैन, न त घाइते भेडालाई निको पार्नेछ । त्यसले स्वस्थ भेडाहरूलाई खुवाउनेछैन, तर मोटो भेडाको मासु खानेछ र तिनीहरूका खुरलाई च्यात्नेछ ।
17 But terrible things will happen to that foolish/useless king who abandons the people [MET] over whom he rules. [His enemies] will strike his arm and his right eye with their swords. [The result will be that] he will have no strength in his arm, and his right eye will become completely blind.”
धिक्कार, आफ्नो बगाललाई त्याग्ने बेकामको गोठालो! त्यसको पाखुरा र दाहिने आँखाको विरुद्ध तरवार चलाइयोस्! त्यसको पाखुरा सुकोस् र त्यसको दाहिने आँखा अन्धो होस्!”
