< Zekaria 11 >

1 E WEHE ae i kou mau puka, e Lebanona, i ai aku ai ke ahi i kou mau kedera.
Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars.
2 E aoa oe, e ka laaukaa, no ka men, ua hina iho la ke kedera; No ka men, ua haoia ka poe hanohano: E aoa oukou, e na oka o Basana, No ka mea, ua kulaina iho ka ululaau ikaika.
Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down.
3 He leo aoa o na kahuhipa, No ka mea, ua hoopauia ko lakou mea hanohano: He leo o na liona opiopio e uwo ana; No ka mea, ua hoopauia ka nani o Ioredane.
The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled.
4 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova o ko'u Akua, E hanai i ka ohana hipa no ka make;
Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
5 O na kahu o lakou ke pepehi nei ia lakou, A ke manao nei ia lakou iho na hala ole: Ke olelo nei ka poe kuai lilo aku ia lakou, E hoomaikaiia ke Akua, no ka mea, ua waiwai au: Aole hoi i minamina iho ko lakou poe kahu ia lakou.
Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not.
6 No ka mea, aole au e minamina hou i ka poe kanaka o keia aina, wahi a Iehova: Aia hoi, e hoolilo auanei au i kela kanaka i keia kanaka iloko o ka lima o kona hoa, a iloko o ka lima o kona alii: A e pepehi lakou i ko ka aina, Aole hoi au e hoopakele ae mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
And I will no more spare the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: behold I will deliver the men, every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall destroy the land, and I will not deliver it out of their hand.
7 Ua hanai hoi au i ka ohana hipa no ka make, ia oukou, e ka ohana poino! A lawe ae la au no'u i elua kookoo, a kapa aku la au i kekahi o laua, o Nani, a i kekahi kapa aku la au, o Naapo; a hanai aku la au i ka ohana hipa.
And I will feed the hock of slaughter for this, O ye poor of the dock. And I took unto me two rods, one I called Beauty, and the other I called a Cord, and I fed the flock.
8 Ekolu mau kahuhipa a'u i hooki iho ai i ka malama hookahi; no ka mea, ua pauaho kuu naau ia lakou; a ua inaina mai hoi ko lakou naau ia'u.
And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard.
9 I iho la hoi au, Aole au e hanai ia oukou; o ka mea no ka make, e make no ia, a o ka mea no ka hookiia, e hookiia no oia; a o ka poe e koe, e ai iho kela mea keia mea o lakou i ka io o kona hoa.
And I said: I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die: and that which is cut off, let it be cut off: and let the rest devour every one the flesh of his neighbour.
10 Alaila, lalau aku la au i kuu kookoo ia Nani, a haihai iho la ia ia, no ka haihai ana i ka berita a'u i hoopaa ai me na kanaka a pau.
And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people.
11 A e uhaiia uanei ia i ua la la; a pela e ike ai ka ohana ilihune, ka poe i malama mai ia'u, o ka olelo ia a Iehova.
And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord.
12 Olelo aku la au ia lakou, Ina he maikai ia imua o ko oukou maka, e haawi mai i ka'u uku; a i ole, u'oki hoi. No ia mea, kaupaona iho la lakou no kuu uku i kanakolu apana kala.
And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 I mai la o Iehova ia'u, E hoolei aku ia mea no ka potera: he kumukuai nui ka ka'u i kuaiia'i e lakou! Nolaila, lalau aku la au i ua mau apana kala la he kanakolu, a hoolei aku la i ka potera iloko o ka hale o Iehova,
And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary.
14 Alaila, uhai iho la au i kela kookoo o'u, ia Naapo, no ka uhai ana i ka launa hoahanau iwaena o ka Iuda a o ka Iseraela.
And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel.
15 Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia'u, E lawe oe nau i na mea hoailona o ke kahuhipa naaupo.
And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 No ka mea, eia hoi au e hooku ae auanei i kahuhipa ma ka aina, aole ia e manao i ka poe e make wale ana, aole ia e imi i ka mea i auwana, aole hoi e lapaau i ka mea i haki, aole hoi e hanai i ka mea maloeloe; aka, e ai iho oia i ka io o na mea momona, a e haehae ae ia i ko lakou mau maiuu.
For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs.
17 Auwe ke kahuhipa lapuwale! ka mea haalele i ka ohana! e ku kona lima a me kona maka akau i ka pahikaua: e maloo auanei kona lima, a e pouli hoi kona maka akau.
O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
