Zekaria 11
1 E WEHE ae i kou mau puka, e Lebanona, i ai aku ai ke ahi i kou mau kedera.
Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, —that a fire, may devour, thy cedar,
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, fir-tree, for fallen is the cedar, because, the majestic ones, are spoiled: howl, ye oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest, hath 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.
The noise of the howling of the shepherds, for spoiled is their majesty, —The noise of the roaring of the young lions, for spoiled are the proud banks of the Jordan.
4 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova o ko'u Akua, E hanai i ka ohana hipa no ka make;
Thus, saith Yahweh my God, —Tend thou the flock doomed to 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, buyers, slay them, and are not held guilty, and whose, sellers, say—Blessed be Yahweh, that I am become rich, And so, their own shepherds, have no pity upon 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.
Surely I will have pity no longer upon the inhabitants of the earth, Declareth Yahweh, —Therefore lo! I am delivering up mankind, every man into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king, and they will crush the earth, nor will I 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 tended the flock doomed to slaughter, for the sheep-merchants, —and took unto me two staves, the one, I called Grace, and, the other, I called Union, thus I tended 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.
And I sent off three shepherds, in one month, —for impatient was my soul with them, moreover also, their soul, felt a loathing against 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 said I—I will not tend you, —the dying, may die, and, the disappearing, may disappear, and, the remainder, may devour 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.
So I took my staff Grace, and cut it in two, —that I might set aside my covenant which I had solemnised 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.
When it was broken, on that day, then did the sheep- merchants who were watching me, know, that, the word of Yahweh, it was.
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 said I unto them, If it be good in your eyes, give me my wage, and, if not, forbear. 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,
Then said Yahweh unto me, Cast it into the treasury, the magnificent price at which I had been valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them, in the house of Yahweh, 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 cut I in two my second staff, even Union, —that I might 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.
Then said Yahweh unto me, —Yet further take thee 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 lo! I am raising up a shepherd in the land, the disappearing, will he not visit, the straying, will he not seek, and, the fractured, will he not bind up, —the weak, will he not nourish, but, the flesh of the fat, will he eat, and, their hoofs, will he break in pieces.
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.
Alas! for my worthless shepherd, who forsaketh the flock, A sword upon his arm, and upon his right eye!—his arm, shall be, utterly withered, and, his right eye, shall be, wholly darkened.
