Zekaria 11
1 Wee, Lebanoni-rĩ, hingũra mĩrango yaku, nĩgeetha mwaki ũcine mĩtarakwa yaku, ũmĩniine!
Open thy doores, O Lebanon, and the fire shall deuoure thy cedars.
2 Rĩra, wee mũthithinda, nĩgũkorwo mũtarakwa nĩũgwĩte; mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩrũngarũ nĩmĩanange! Rĩrai inyuĩ mĩgandi ya Bashani; nĩgũkorwo mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ ũrĩa mũtumanu nĩĩtemetwo.
Houle, firre trees: for the cedar is fallen, because all the mightie are destroyed: houle ye, O okes of Bashan, for ye defesed forest is cut downe.
3 Ta thikĩrĩriai ũrĩa arĩithi maraarĩra, makĩgirĩkaga: ũrĩithio wao ũrĩa mũnoru nĩwanangĩtwo! Ta thikĩrĩriai mũraramo wa mĩrũũthi; gĩthaka kĩrĩa kĩruru kĩa Jorodani nĩkĩanange!
There is the voyce of the houling of the shepherdes: for their glorie is destroyed: the voyce of ye roaring of lyons whelpes: for the pride of Iorden is destroyed.
4 Jehova Ngai wakwa ekuuga ũũ: “Rĩithia rũũru rũrĩa rũtuĩrĩirwo gũthĩnjwo.
Thus sayeth the Lord my God, Feede the sheepe of the slaughter.
5 Arĩa macigũraga nĩo macithĩnjaga na matione wa kũmaherithia. Arĩa maciendagia moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova arogoocwo, niĩ ndĩ mũtongu!’ Arĩithi ene cio maticiiguagĩra tha.
They that possesse them, slay them and sinne not: and they that sell them, say, Blessed be the Lord: for I am riche, and their owne shepherds spare them not.
6 Nĩgũkorwo ndikaiguĩra andũ a bũrũri ũcio tha rĩngĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩnganeana mũndũ o kũrĩ mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na kũrĩ mũthamaki wake. Nĩmakahinyĩrĩria bũrũri ũcio, na ndikamahonokia kuuma moko-inĩ mao.”
Surely I wil no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayth the Lord: but loe, I will deliuer the men euery one into his neighbours hand, and into the hand of his King: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hands I wil not deliuer them.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩrĩithia rũũru rũu rwatuĩrĩirwo gũthĩnjwo, na makĩria iria ciahinyĩrĩirio cia rũũru rũu. Ngĩcooka ngĩoya thanju igĩrĩ, rũmwe ngĩrwĩta Ũtugi na rũrĩa rũngĩ ngĩrwĩta Ũiguano, na niĩ ngĩrĩithia rũũru rũu.
For I fed the sheepe of slaughter, euen the poore of the flocke, and I tooke vnto me two staues: the one I called Beautie, and the other I called Bandes, and I fed the sheepe.
8 Ihinda rĩa mweri ũmwe nĩndeheririe arĩithi acio atatũ. Naruo rũũru rũgĩĩthũũra mũno, na niĩ ngĩnogio nĩo,
Three shepherdes also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule lothed them, and their soule abhorred me.
9 ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndigũcooka gũtuĩka mũrĩithi wanyu. Iria cia gũkua nĩikue, na iria cia gũthira nĩithire. Iria igũtigara-rĩ, nĩirĩane cio nyene.”
Then said I, I will not feede you: that that dyeth, let it dye: and that that perisheth, let it perish: and let the remnant eate, euery one the flesh of his neighbour.
10 Ningĩ ngĩoya rũthanju rwakwa rũrĩa rwetagwo Ũtugi, ngĩruunania icunjĩ igĩrĩ, ngĩtharia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
And I tooke my staffe, euen Beautie, and brake it, that I might disanull my couenant, which I had made with all people.
11 Gĩatharirio o ro mũthenya ũcio, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa maahinyĩrĩirio a rũũru rũu, arĩa maanjũũthĩrĩirie, makĩmenya atĩ ĩyo yarĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poore of the sheepe that waited vpon me, knew that it was the worde of the Lord.
12 Ngĩcooka ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩona nĩ kwagĩrĩire, Heei mũcaara wakwa, na aakorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, ikarai naguo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩndĩha mũcaara wa icunjĩ mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia betha.
And I said vnto them, If ye thinke it good, giue me my wages: and if no, leaue off: so they weighed for my wages thirtie pieces of siluer.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikĩria mũũmbi wa nyũngũ mbeeca icio”: ĩ thogora ũcio mwega moonire nĩũnjiganĩte! Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya icunjĩ icio mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia betha, ngĩciikĩria mũũmbi kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova.
And the Lord said vnto me, Cast it vnto the potter: a goodly price, that I was valued at of them. And I tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
14 Ningĩ ngiunania rũthanju rwakwa rwa keerĩ rũrĩa rwetagwo Ũiguano, ngĩthũkia ũrũmwe gatagatĩ ka Juda na Isiraeli.
Then brake I mine other staffe, euen the Bandes, that I might dissolue the brotherhood betweene Iudah and Israel.
15 Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya o rĩngĩ indo cia mũrĩithi mũkĩĩgu.
And the Lord said vnto me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepheard.
16 Nĩgũkorwo nĩngwarahũra mũrĩithi bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, ũrĩa ũtakarũmbũiya ngʼondu iria ciũrĩte, kana acarie tũgondu, kana ohe iria ndiihie, o na kana arĩithie iria ngʼima, we no kũrĩa arĩrĩĩaga nyama cia ngʼondu iria noru, agĩcikũũraga mahũngũ.
For loe, I will rayse vp a shepheard in the land, which shall not looke for the thing, that is lost, nor seeke the tender lambes, nor heale that that is hurt, nor feede that that standeth vp: but he shall eate the flesh of the fat, and teare their clawes in pieces.
17 “Kaĩ mũrĩithi ũcio wa tũhũ, ũrĩa ũtiganagĩria rũũru, arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Guoko gwake na riitho rĩake rĩa ũrĩo irotemwo na rũhiũ rwa njora! Guoko gwake nĩgũkonja biũ, na riitho rĩake rĩa ũrĩo rĩtuĩke itumumu biũ.”
O idole shepheard that leaueth the flocke: the sword shalbe vpon his arme, and vpon his right eye. His arme shall be cleane dryed vp, and his right eye shall be vtterly darkened.
