Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars!
Oe Lebanon mon, nange anrikungnaw hah hmai a kak nahanelah, na takhangnaw hah paawng haw.
2 Lament, cypress trees, for the cedar trees have fallen! What was majestic has been devastated! Lament, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has gone down.
Oe hmaicakung, anri kung a kamlei dawkvah khui haw. Thingkung aphu kaawmnaw teh koung a rawp toe. Oe kathenkungnaw, ratu dawk e thingkung dungradungnaw hai koung a rawp dawkvah khui haw.
3 The shepherds howl, for their glory has been destroyed! The voice of the young lions' roar, for the pride of the Jordan River has been devastated!
Tukhoumnaw ni yeirai aphu awh dawkvah a khui awh. Jordan tuipui e bawilennae a ro dawkvah sendeknaw a huk e pawlawk thai lah ao.
4 This is what Yahweh my God says, “Like a shepherd, watch over the flock set aside for slaughter!
Kaie Jehovah Cathut ni a dei e teh, thei hanlah hmoun e hete tuhu naw hah kawk lah.
5 (The ones who buy them slaughter them and are not punished, and the ones who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh! I have become rich!' for the shepherds working for the flocks' owners have no pity on them.)
Katawnkungnaw ni a thei awh teh ka yon tie kâpanuek awh hoeh. Kayawtnaw ni hai ka hmu thai e doeh ati awh teh BAWIPA teh yawhawinae awm naseh telah ati awh. Tukhoumnaw ni hai pahrenlungmanae tawn awh hoeh.
6 For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land!—this is Yahweh's declaration. See! I myself am about to turn over every person into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king, and they will destroy the land and none of them will I deliver them from their hand.”
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Kai ni khocaramca naw bout ka pahren mahoeh. Pasai laipalah taminaw hah a imri naw e a kut dawk thoseh, siangpahrang e a kut dawk thoseh, ka hnawng vaiteh, ahnimouh ni ram pueng teh a rektap awh han. Ahnimae a kut dawk hoi kahlout sak mahoeh a ti.
7 So I became the shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter, for those who dealt in sheep. I took two staffs; one staff I called “Favor” and the other I called “Unity.” In this way I shepherded the flock.
Hottelah, thei han hmoun tangcoung e tuhu lah kaawm e ka roedeng e tu naw hah ka kawk.
8 In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also hated me.
Tukhoumkung kathum touh hai thapa yung touh dawk koung ka raphoe. Ahnimouh kecu dawk ka lungsaw thai hoeh. Ahnimouh ni hai kai teh na panuet awh.
9 Then I said to the owners, “I will not work as a shepherd for you any longer. The sheep that are dying—let them die; the sheep that are being destroyed—let them be destroyed. Let the sheep that remain each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
Nangmouh teh bout na kawk awh mahoeh. Kadout e teh dout yawkaw naseh. Thei lah kaawm e hai thet a yawkaw naseh. Kacawie naw hai buet touh hoi buet touh kâkei a na yawkaw seh, telah a ti.
10 So I took my staff “Favor” and broke it to break the covenant that I had made with all of my tribes.
Miphun puenghoi sak e lawkkamnae hah raphoe hanlah ka ngai dawkvah sonron meihawi ka la teh ka khoe.
11 On that day the covenant was broken, and those who dealt in sheep and who were watching me knew that Yahweh had spoken.
Hote lawkkamnae teh hat hnin vah a ro dawkvah Kai na kâuep e ka roedeng e tunaw teh BAWIPA lawk a thai panuek awh.
12 I said to them, “If it seems good to you, pay me my wages. But if not, do not do it.” So they weighed out my wages—thirty pieces of silver.
Hahoi, Kai ni ka hmu hane kamcu e aphu poe hanelah nangmouh ni na ngai awh pawiteh, poe awh. Na ngai awh hoehpawiteh poe awh hanh telah ati teh, ahnimouh ni kai aphu na poe awh hanelah ngun tangka 30 touh a nue awh.
13 Then Yahweh said to me, “Deposit the silver in the treasury, the excellent price at which they valued you!” So I took the thirty pieces of silver and deposited them in the treasury in the house of Yahweh.
BAWIPA ni hote tangka teh hlaamkabonaw e hmalah tâkhawng pouh haw. Kai hanlah aphu na khoe a e tangka teh ek apap ati awh e patetlah, hote ngun tangka 30 touh hah ka la teh, BAWIPA e im dawk hlaamkabonaw e hmalah ka tâkhawng pouh.
14 Then I broke my second staff, “Unity,” to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Hat navah, Judah miphun hoi Isarel miphun huiko kamyawngnae raphoe ngainae kecu dawkvah sonron alouke hah ka la teh ka khoe.
15 Yahweh said to me, “Again, take the equipment of a foolish shepherd for yourself,
Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA niyah ka pathu e tukhoumkung e hnopainaw hah lat haw.
16 for see, I am about to set in place a shepherd in the land. He will not care for the perishing sheep. He will not seek out the sheep gone missing, nor heal the crippled sheep. He will not feed the sheep that are healthy, but will eat the flesh of the fattened sheep and will tear off their hooves.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote ram dawk tukhoumkung buet touh ka tâco sak han. Ahni ni thei lah kaawm e tu hah khenyawn mahoeh. Lam ka phen e hah tawng hoeh. Ka dam hoeh e a dam nahanlah khenyawn hoeh. Kangdout e kabawm hoeh. Kathâw e naw hah a ca han. A khoksamen hai a khoe pouh awh han.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who forsakes the flock! May the sword come against his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither away and may his right eye become blind!”
Tuhu hah ka pahnawt e ayawmyin e tukhoumkung teh a yawthout naseh. Ahnie a kut hoi aranglae mit dawkvah tahloi hoi hmâ a ca han. A kut thasainae teh khak a ke han. Aranglae mit hai a dawn han telah a ti.
