Zekaria 11
1 E WEHE ae i kou mau puka, e Lebanona, i ai aku ai ke ahi i kou mau kedera.
Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire can burn up your 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.
Weep, juniper, because the cedar has fallen, the majestic trees are ruined! Weep, oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has been 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.
Listen to the howls of the shepherds, for their pastureland is destroyed. Listen to the roars of the young lions, for their Jordan habitat is ruined.
4 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova o ko'u Akua, E hanai i ka ohana hipa no ka make;
This is what the Lord my God says: Become a shepherd of the flock marked for 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.
Those who buy them kill them and don't feel guilty; those who sell them say, “Praise the Lord! Now I'm rich!” Even their shepherds don't care about them.
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.
For I will no longer care about the people of the Land, declares the Lord. I am going to make them victims of each other, and of the king. They will devastate the earth and I won't help anyone get away from them.
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.
So I became a shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter by the sheep merchants. Then I took two staffs, one named Grace, the other named Union, and I shepherded 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.
In one month I dismissed three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also hated me.
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.
Then I said, “I will not be your shepherd. If the sheep die, they die. Let those that are to perish, perish. Let those who are left eat each other!”
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.
Then I took my staff called Grace and broke it, breaking the agreement I had made with all the peoples.
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.
It was broken on that day, and the sheep merchants who were watching me knew that it was a message from 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.
I told them, “If you want to pay me my wages, then do so. If not, then don't.” So they paid me 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, “Throw the money to the treasury,” this measly sum they thought I was worth! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it into the treasury of the Lord's Temple.
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.
Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family union between Judah and Israel.
15 Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia'u, E lawe oe nau i na mea hoailona o ke kahuhipa naaupo.
The Lord told me, Get the things you use as a shepherd, a useless 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 I am placing a shepherd in charge of the land who won't care for those who are dying, or look for the lost, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy. Instead he will eat the meat from the fattest sheep. He even tears their hooves off.
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.
What disaster is coming to this useless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will wither away and his right eye will become completely blind.
