Zekaria 11
1 “O Lebanon, ʋu wò agbowo da ɖi siaa be dzo nabi wò sedatiwo!
Thou Liban, opene thi yatis, and fier schal ete thi cedris.
2 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!
Yelle, thou fir tre, for the cedre felle doun, for grete men ben distried; yelle, ye okis of Basan, for the stronge welde wode is kit doun.
3 Miɖo to alẽkplɔlawo ƒe avifafa, elabena woƒe lãnyiƒe damawo tsrɔ̃. Miɖo to dzatawo ƒe xɔxlɔ̃, elabena Yɔdan ƒe ave damawo tsrɔ̃!”
Vois of yellyng of schepherdis, for the greet worschip of hem is distried; vois of roryng of liouns, for the pride of Jordan is wastid.
4 Yehowa, nye Mawu la gblɔ nam be, “Yi nàwɔ dɔ abe alẽkplɔla ene, eye nàkplɔ alẽ siwo woɖo ɖi na wuwu.
My Lord God seith these thingis, Fede thou beestis of slauyter,
5 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,
whiche thei that weldiden slowen; and `sorewiden not, and selden hem, and seiden, Blessid be the Lord, we ben maad riche. And schepherdis of hem spariden not hem,
6 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.”
and Y schal no more spare on `men enhabitynge the erthe, seith the Lord. Lo! Y schal bitake men, ech in hond of his neiybour, and in hoond of his kyng, and thei schulen to-reende togidere the lond; and Y schal not delyuere fro the hond of hem,
7 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.
and Y schal fede the beeste of sleyng. For this thing, ye pore men of the floc, here. And Y took to me twei yerdis; oon Y clepide Fairnesse, and the tother Y clepide Litil Corde; and Y fedde the floc.
8 Le ɣleti ɖeka me la, meɖe alẽkplɔla etɔ̃ katã ɖa. Alẽha la lé fum, eye woƒe nu ti kɔ nam.
And Y kittide doun thre scheepherdis in o monethe, and my soule is drawun togidere in hem; for also the soule of hem variede in me.
9 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.”
And Y seide, Y schal not fede you; that that dieth, die; and that that is kit doun, be kit doun; and the residues deuoure, ech the fleisch of his neiybore.
10 Ale metsɔ nye atikplɔ si meyɔ be Dɔmefafa la, meŋee, eye metu nu si mebla kple dukɔwo.
And Y took my yerde, that was clepid Fairnesse, and Y kittide doun it, that Y schulde make void my couenaunt, that Y smoot with alle puplis.
11 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.
And it `is led forth voide in that dai; and the pore of floc that kepen to me, knewen thus, for it is the word of the Lord.
12 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.
And Y seide to hem, If it is good in youre iyen, brynge ye my meede; and if nai, reste ye. And thei weieden my meede, thretti platis of siluer.
13 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.
And the Lord seide to me, Caste awei it to a makere of ymagis, the fair prijs, bi which Y am preisid of hem. And Y took thritti platis of siluer, and Y castide forth hem in the hous of the Lord, to the makere of ymagis.
14 Azɔ meŋe nye atikplɔ evelia si meyɔ be Ɖekawɔwɔ la, ale meŋe ɖekawɔwɔ si le Yuda kple Israel dome.
And Y kittide doun my secunde yerde, that was clepide Litil Corde, that Y schulde departe the brotherhed bitwixe Juda and Israel.
15 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Tsɔ alẽkplɔla tsibome ƒe lãkplɔnu,
And the Lord seide to me, Yit take to thee vessels of a fonned scheepherde;
16 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.
for lo! Y schal reise a scheepherde in erthe, which schal not visite forsakun thingis, schal not seke scatered thingis, and schal not heele `the brokun togidere, and schal not nurische forth that that stondith. And he schal ete fleischis of the fat, and schal vnbynde the clees of hem.
17 “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!”
A! the scheepherd, and ydol, forsakynge the floc; swerd on his arm, and on his riyt iye; the arm of hym schal be dried with drynesse, and his riyt iye wexynge derk schal be maad derk.
