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 may devour 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.
Wail, pine-tree, for the cedar is fallen. Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has fallen.
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 wailing of the shepherds! Their glory is destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions! Blasted is the thick forest of the Jordan.
4 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova o ko'u Akua, E hanai i ka ohana hipa no ka make;
The Lord said to me: shepherd the flock destined 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.
whose possessors slaughter them, and hold themselves not guilty! The people who sell them say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich! And their own shepherds have no compassion for 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.
I will no longer have pity on the people of this earth, says the Lord. I will turn neighbor against neighbor, and put everyone under the power of a king, and when the land is devastated I will not rescue 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 shepherded the flock of slaughter for the sheep-merchants. I took two staffs: one I called Mercy and the other I called Union. So I shepherded the sheep.
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.
I set aside three of the shepherds in one month; for I was indignant against them, and they also were displeased at 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.
I said, I will not shepherd you. What is dead, let it die. What is set aside, let it be set aside. And let those who are left devour one another’s flesh.
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, Mercy, and broke it, so as to break my covenant which 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.
In that day it was broken, and the sheep-merchants who watched me knew that it was the Lord’s message.
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 is good in your sight, give me my wage. If not, don’t.” So they weighed out my wage, 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 into the treasury – the precious wage that at which I was valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the house of the Lord, 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 second staff called Union so as to dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Jerusalem.
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 again the implements of a worthless 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 about to appoint a shepherd over the land. Those who are thrust down he will not visit. Those who are scattered he will not seek out. The wounded he will not heal, the sick he will not make whole, but the flesh of the fat he will devour and even their hoofs he will tear.
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 my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye. May his arm completely wither. And his right eye be blinded.
