Zakari 11
1 Ou menm peyi Liban, louvri pòtay ou yo pou dife ka boule tout pye sèd ou yo.
Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
2 Nou menm, pye sikren yo, plenn sò nou! Paske pye sèd la tonbe. Gwo pyebwa yo fini! Nou menm, pye bwadchenn peyi Bazan yo, rele, plenn sò nou! Paske gwo rak plen bwa a kraze!
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
3 Kote ou pase, ou tande chèf yo ap plenn! Yo fini, yo pèdi pouvwa a yo. Kote ou pase, ou tande jenn ti lyon yo ap plenn! Yo koupe tout bèl rakbwa ki sou bò larivyè Jouden yo.
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
4 Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, di m' konsa: -Ou pral swen mouton y'ap pare pou labatwa.
This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
5 Moun k'ap achte yo a ap touye yo. Pesonn pa ka mande yo kont. Moun k'ap vann yo menm ap di: Lwanj pou Bondye! Gade jan nou rich non! Ata gadò mouton yo pa gen pitye pou yo.
whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
6 (Seyè a di: Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou moun ki rete nan peyi a. Se mwen menm ki pral lage yo nan men pwòp chèf yo ak pwòp wa yo ankò. Chèf yo pral fini ak peyi a. Mwen p'ap fè anyen pou m' wete yo anba men yo.)
For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”
7 Se konsa, moun k'ap fè trafik mouton yo peye m' pou m' swen mouton y'ap pare pou labatwa yo pou yo. Mwen pran de baton. Mwen rele yonn Favè, mwen rele lòt la Tèt ansanm. Epi mwen tanmen pran swen mouton yo.
So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
8 Gadò yo ban m' degoutans. Nan yon mwa, mwen te chanje twa gadò yonn apre lòt. Yo menm tou, yo pa t' vle wè m'.
And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
9 Lè sa a, mwen di pèp la: -Mwen p'ap swen nou ankò. Sa ki pou mouri mèt mouri! Sa ki pou disparèt mèt disparèt! Sa ki rete yo menm, yonn mèt manje lòt.
Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”
10 Lèfini, mwen pran baton Favè a, mwen kase l' de bout. Ki vle di, mwen kase kontra mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te pase ak tout nasyon yo.
Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
11 Jou sa a, kontra a te kase. Moun k'ap fè trafik mouton yo te rete la ap gade m'. Yo vin konprann sa m' te fè a. Yo rekonèt se yon mesaj Seyè a t'ap ba yo.
It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12 Mwen di yo: -Si nou vle peye m', nou mèt peye m'. Si nou pa vle tou, sa pa fè anyen. Y'a l' pran lajan an, yo peye m' trant pyès an ajan pou sa m' te fè a.
Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
13 Men, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Al bay lajan an pou yo mete l' nan kès tanp lan. Konsa, mwen pran trant pyès an ajan yo, bèl pri yo te wè pou yo te ban m' pou travay mwen te fè a, mwen mete yo nan kès tanp lan.
And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14 Apre sa, mwen kase dezyèm baton m' lan, sa mwen te rele Tèt Ansanm lan, pou fè konnen pa gen tèt ansanm ankò ant moun Jida yo ak moun Izrayèl yo.
Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Apre sa, Seyè a di m': -Pran pòz gadò ou ankò. Men, fwa sa a, yon gadò ki pa vo anyen.
And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 Paske mwen pral mete yon gadò pou okipe bann mouton m' yo. Men, lè yon mouton pèdi, se pa pou li sa. Si yonn egare, li pa pral chache l'. Si yonn blese, li p'ap fè anyen pou geri l'. Si yonn bouke, li p'ap fè anyen pou soutni l'. Okontrè, l'ap manje sa ki pi gra yo, l'ap fann zago tout lòt yo.
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.
17 Madichon pou move gadò a! Li kouri kite mouton yo pou kont yo. Se pou lagè fini ak pouvwa l' la. Se pou bra l' vin pòk, se pou li pa wè nan je dwat li.
Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”
