Zechariah 11
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Aw Lebanon, nang ih Sidar thing hmai mah kang hanah, nangmah ih khongkha to paong ah.
2 Howl, fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Sidar thingkung loe amtim boeh pongah, Aw hmaica thing, qah ah; kahoih thingnawk loe amtim o boih boeh; Bashan ih kamtak oak thingnawk, qah oh; tu thung ih thingnawk loe pahum o boih boeh.
3 [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is laid waste.
Nihcae lensawkhaih to amro boih boeh pongah, tuutoep kaminawk ih qahhaih lok to oh: Jordan amoekhaih loe amro boeh pongah, kaipui hanghaih lok to oh.
4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Ka Angraeng Sithaw mah, hum han kaom tuu to pacah ah;
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.
Tawnkung mah tuunawk to boh naah, danpaekhaih tidoeh om ai: tuu zaw kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe, kai loe angraeng boeh, tiah thuih o: tuutoep kaminawk loe tuunawk to tahmen ai.
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 neighbor'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].
Prae thungah kaom kaminawk tahmenhaih ka tawn mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih: toe, khenah, kami boih angmacae taengah kaom kaminawk khaeah ka paek han, angmacae siangpahrang ban ah ka paek han: nihcae mah prae to tuh o tih, to naah nihcae ban thung hoi ka pahlong mak ai.
7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
To pongah nang kamtang tuu, hum han kaom tuu to ka pacah han. Tuu toephaih cung hnetto ka lak, maeto loe Kranghoih, tiah ahmin ka paek, kalah maeto loe zaenghaih qui, tiah ka kawk; tuu to ka pacah.
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
Khrahto thungah tuutoep kami thumto kang haksak; ka hinghaih mah nihcae to hnukma, nihcae hinghaih mah doeh kai to hnukma o toeng.
9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another.
To pacoengah kai mah, Nangcae kang pacah o mak ai boeh, kadueh kami loe, dueh nasoe; anghma kami loe anghma nasoe; anghmat kaminawk loe maeto hoi maeto ih ngan to caa o nasoe, tiah ka naa.
10 And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
To naah prae kaminawk boih hoi ka sak ih lokmaihaih to ka lak let thai hanah, Kranghoih cunghet to, ka lak moe, ka khaeh lawt.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.
To na niah angkhaeh lawt; to pongah kai kazing amtang tuutoep kaminawk mah, hae loe Angraeng ih lok ni, tiah panoek o.
12 And I said to them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.
Kai mah nihcae khaeah, Kahoih hmuen na poek o nahaeloe, ka toksakhaih atho to na paek oh; toe to tiah na poek o ai nahaeloe, na paek o hmah, tiah ka naa. To pongah nihcae mah kai hanah sum kanglung phoisa qui thumto ang noek pae o.
13 And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
To naah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Nihcae mah kai han katingah ang paek o ih atho to long laom sahkung khaeah va ah, tiah ang naa. To pongah sum kanglung phoisa qui thumto ka lak moe, Angraeng imthung ih long laom sah kami khaeah ka vah.
14 Then I cut asunder my other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
To pacoengah zaenghaih qui, tiah kawk ih kalah cung to ka khaeh moe, Judah hoi Israel nawkamya ah ohhaih to ka phraek.
15 And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
To naah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, kamthu tuutoep kami ih hmuennawk to la ah.
16 For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [who] shall not visit those that are cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
Khenah, prae nuiah tuutoep kami maeto ka pacah han, anih loe anghma kaminawk to dawncang mak ai, tuucaanawk doeh pakrong mak ai, ahmaa kaca tuunawk doeh khenzawn mak ai ueloe, angdoe sut tuunawk doeh pacah mak ai: toe anih loe kathawk hruk tuu moi to caa tih, a khokpacin mataeng doeh amongh pae boih tih.
17 Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Tuucaa caehtaak tuutoep kami loe khosak bing! Sumsem mah a ban hoi bantang mik to takroek pae nasoe; a ban to angqo pae nasoe loe, a bantang mik to maeng pae nasoe, tiah a naa.
