Zakari 11
1 Mokili ya Libani, fungola bikuke na yo mpo ete moto ezikisa banzete na yo ya sedele!
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2 Nzete ya sipele, lela, pamba te nzete ya sedele esili kokweya! Banzete milayi esili kokatama. Banzete ya sheni ya Bashani, bolela; pamba te basili kokata zamba monene!
Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
3 Boyoka ndenge babateli bibwele bazali kolela, pamba te bitando epai wapi baleisaka bibwele ebebisami. Boyoka ndenge bankosi ezali koganga, pamba te zamba ya Yordani, oyo etonda na banzete, esili kobebisama.
[There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, alobi: — Batela malamu bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma!
Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5 Bato oyo basombaka bibwele yango babomaka yango, bazalaka na somo ya etumbu ata moko te. Bato oyo batekaka yango balobaka: « Tika ete Yawe apambolama, pamba te nakomi mozwi! » Mpe bango moko babateli na yango bayokelaka yango mawa ata moke te.
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6 Yango wana Ngai mpe nakoyokela lisusu bato ya mokili mawa te, nakokaba moto na moto na maboko ya moninga na ye mpe ya mokonzi na ye. Bakonzi bakobebisa mokili, kasi nakokangola ata moto moko te wuta na maboko ya bakonzi yango, elobi Yawe.
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].
7 Boye, nabatelaki malamu bameme oyo babongisaki mpo na koboma; mpe mingi penza bameme oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi. Nakamataki mangenda mibale: nabengaki moko Ngolu, mpe mosusu, Bomoko. Bongo, nakomaki kobatela bameme.
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8 Na sanza moko kaka, nabomaki babateli bibwele misato; nakokaki lisusu kokanga motema te, mpe etonga eyinaki ngai.
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Nalobaki na etonga ya bibwele: — Nakozala lisusu mobateli na bino te. Tika ete oyo ekokufa ekufa na yango, oyo ekobunga ebunga na yango; mpe tika ete oyo ekotikala ebomana yango na yango!
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
10 Nakamataki lingenda oyo nabengaki Ngolu, nabukaki yango mpo na kotalisa ete boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na bikolo nyonso esili.
And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11 Boyokani esilaki nde na mokolo wana; bongo, etonga oyo ezalaki na pasi makasi mpe ezalaki kotala ngai esosolaki ete ezalaki solo Liloba na Yawe.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.
12 Nalobaki na bango: — Soki bomoni ete ezali malamu, bopesa ngai lifuti na ngai; soki te, botika na bino. Bafutaki ngai mbongo ya bibende ya palata tuku misato lokola lifuti na ngai.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.
13 Mpe Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Bwaka yango epai ya mosali mbeki; yango nde motuya ya malonga oyo bamoni ete ekoki na Ngai! Nakamataki mbongo yango ya bibende tuku misato mpe nabwakaki yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, epai ya mosali mbeki.
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14 Bongo nabukaki lisusu lingenda ya mibale oyo nabengaki Bomoko, mpo na kotalisa ete bondeko kati na libota ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele ekufi.
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kamata lisusu bisalelo ya mobateli bibwele ya zoba!
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 Pamba te nakobimisa kati na mokili mobateli bibwele ya sika oyo akobanda koluka te bibwele oyo ebungi, akolandela te bana bibwele, akosalisa te bapota ya bibwele oyo ezoki, akoleisa te oyo ezali na nzoto kolongono, kasi akobanda koliaka misuni ya bibwele ya mafuta mpe kobuka yango makolo.
For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17 Mawa na mobateli bibwele ya zoba oyo asundolaka etonga na ye! Tika ete mopanga ekata ye loboko mpe etobola ye liso oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali! Tika ete loboko na ye ekawuka, solo, ekawuka penza! Tika ete liso na ye, oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ekufa, ekufa solo!
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
