Zekaraya 11
1 Meghee ọnụ ụzọ gị niile, gị Lebanọn. Ka ọkụ repịa osisi sida gị niile.
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, That the fire may devour thy cedars!
2 Kwasie akwa ike, gị osisi junipa, nʼihi na osisi sida adaala, nʼihi na e mebiela osisi ukwu ndị niile ahụ mabigara mma oke. Kwasienụ akwa ike, unu osisi ook nke Bashan, nʼihi na e gbudachala oke ọhịa ahụ!
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 Gee ntị nʼụzụ akwa nke ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, e mebiela ebe ịta nri mara mma nke anụ ụlọ ha. Gee ntị ka unu nụrụ olu mbigbọ nke ụmụ ọdụm, nʼihi na e bibiela oke ọhịa nke Jọdan.
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 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke m kwuru, “Zụọnụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a ga-egbu egbu nri.
Thus said Jehovah, my God: Feed thou the flock of slaughter,
5 Ndị na-azụrụ ha na-egbu ha ma ọ dịghị ahụhụ na-abịakwasị ha. Ndị na-erekwa ha na-asị, ‘Toonu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na abụ m ọgaranya.’ Ndị ọzụzụ ha adịghị enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ha.
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 Nʼihi na mụ onwe m agakwaghị egosi ndị ala a obi ebere.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m ewere onye ọbụla nʼime ha nyefee nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, na nʼaka eze ha. Ha ga-ebibi ala a kpamkpam, ma mụ onwe m agaghị anapụta onye ọbụla site nʼaka ha.”
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 Nʼihi ya, azụrụ m igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ a ga-egbu egbu, nke ka nke, ndị ahụ a na-emegbu emegbu. Eweere m mkpanaka abụọ, kpọọ otu nʼime ha Amara, kpọọ nke ọzọ Ịdị nʼotu. Azụkwara m igwe atụrụ ndị ahụ.
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 Nʼime otu ọnwa, ewezugara m ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ atọ. Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ kpọkwazịrị m asị, enwezighị m ike nweere ha ndidi.
And I cut off three shepherds in one month; for I was weary of them, and they also abhorred me.
9 Nʼihi ya, ekwuru m si, “Agaghị m abụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ unu ọzọ. Nke ọbụla na-anwụ, ya nwụọ, ọzọ, nke na-ala nʼiyi, ya laa nʼiyi. Ka ndị fọdụrụ rie anụ ahụ ibe ha.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, eweere m mkpanaka m, nke a kpọrọ Amara gbajie ya abụọ, igosi na emebiela m ọgbụgba ndụ nke mụ na ndị mmadụ gbara.
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 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka e mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ gharakwa ịdị. Mgbe ahụ, ndị ahụ a na-akpagbu nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ ahụ, bụ ndị na-ele m anya matara na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
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 Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị unu, unu kwụọ m ụgwọ ọrụ m, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ masịghị unu, deberenụ onwe unu ego unu.” Nʼihi nke a, ha gụpụtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, jiri ya kwụọ m ụgwọ.
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 Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite,” bụ ọnụahịa magburu onwe ya bụ nke ha rụrụ nʼisi m. Ya mere, eweere m iri ọlaọcha atọ ahụ tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
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 Mgbe ahụ, agbajiri m mkpanaka m nke abụọ a na-akpọ Ịdị nʼotu, izipụta na njikọta maọbụ ịdị nʼotu dị nʼetiti Juda na Izrel adịghịkwa.
Then I broke my other crook, even Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Chịrịkwa ngwa ọrụ nke onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nzuzu ahụ,
And Jehovah said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 nʼihi na ana m aga ịkpọlite otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke na-agaghị elekọta ụmụ atụrụ furu efu, maọbụ chọọ ndị na-etolite, maọbụ gwọọ ndị merụrụ ahụ, maọbụ nye ndị ahụ dị ike nri. Kama ọ ga-eri anụ atụrụ ndị ahụ ahụ ha dị mma, nyakapụkwa ụkwụ ha niile.
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 “Ahụhụ dịrị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ahụ na-abaghị uru, nke na-adịghị elezi igwe ewu na atụrụ ya anya. Ka mma agha gbupụ ya otu aka, ghụpụkwa ya anya aka nri ya. Ka ogwe aka ya kpọnwụọkwa kpamkpam. Otu a, anya aka nri ya ga-akpọkwa.”
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!
