< Zekaria 11 >

1 E WEHE ae i kou mau puka, e Lebanona, i ai aku ai ke ahi i kou mau kedera.
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, That the fire may 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, O cypress, for the cedar falleth! For the lofty ones are destroyed! Howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, For the high forest is come 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.
Hark! the voice of the howling of the shepherds, Because their glory is destroyed! The voice of the roaring of young lions, Because the pride of Jordan is destroyed!
4 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova o ko'u Akua, E hanai i ka ohana hipa no ka make;
Thus said Jehovah, my God: Feed thou the flock of 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.
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty, And which they who sell say, “Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich!” And whose shepherds spare 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.
For I will no longer spare The inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; But, behold, I will deliver the men Every one into the hand of his neighbor, And into the hand of his king; And they shall smite the land, And I will not deliver 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.
So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly a miserable flock. And I took to me two crooks; the one I called Favor, and the other I called Bands; 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; for I was weary of them, and they also abhorred 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 feed you; that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat the flesh of one another.
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 staff Favor, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the nations.
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 broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock, who had regard to me, knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
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.
Then I said to them, If it seem good in your eyes, give me my wages; if not, keep them. And they weighed for my wages thirty shekels 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 Jehovah said to me, Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver, and cast them into the house of Jehovah, into the treasury.
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 other crook, even Bands, to break the brotherhood 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.
And Jehovah 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 lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land Who shall not care for those that are perishing, Nor seek that which is gone astray, Nor heal that which is wounded, Nor support that which cannot go; But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, And consume it even to the 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.
Woe to the foolish shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword is upon his arm, and upon his right eye; His arm shall surely be withered, And his right eye shall surely be darkened!
