Zekkaliya 11
1 Ggulawo enzigi zo ggwe Lebanooni, omuliro gwokye emivule gyo.
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2 Kaaba ggwe omuberosi, kubanga emivule gigudde! Emiti emirungi ennyo gyonoonese. Mukube ebiwoobe mmwe emyera gya Basani, kubanga ekibira ekikwafu kigudde.
Howl, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down.
3 Wuliriza ebiwoobe by’abasumba, amalundiro gaabwe amalungi gazikirizibbwa. Wuliriza okuwuluguma kw’empologoma. Omuddo omulungi oguli ku Yoludaani guzikirizibbwa.
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 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wange nti, “Lunda endiga zigejje ezinaatwalibwa okuttibwa.
Thus said the LORD my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;
5 Abo abazigula bazitta ne batabaako musango. N’abo abazitunda ne bagamba nti, ‘Mukama atenderezebwe ngaggawadde!’ Abasumba baazo bennyini tebazikwatirwa kisa.
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 Kubanga sikyaddayo kukwatirwa bantu ba nsi eno kisa,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Ndiwaayo buli muntu okugwa mu mikono gya muliraanwa we, ne mu mikono gya kabaka we. Nabo balijooga ensi era sirigiwonya kuva mu mikono gwabwe.”
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 Awo ne nunda ekisibo ekyateekebwateekebwa okuttibwa, okusingira ddala ezaali zijoogebwa. Ne ntwala emiggo gy’abasumba ebiri, ogumu ne ngutuuma erinnya Kisa, omulala ne ngutuuma Kwegatta era ne ndiisa endiga.
So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the 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 Mu mwezi gumu ne neegobako abasumba basatu, emmeeme yange ng’ebakyaye era nabo nga bankyaye.
And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9 Awo ne ndyoka ŋŋamba nti, “Siibeere musumba wammwe, ekinaafa leka kife, ekyokwonooneka kyonooneke, era leka ebyo ebisigaddewo biryaŋŋane, buli kimu kirye kinnaakyo.”
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 them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.
10 Ne ndyoka nkwata omuggo gwange Kisa ne ngumenya, ne mmenya endagaano gye nnali nkoze n’abantu bonna.
And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11 Endagaano n’agikomya ku lunaku olwo era abasuubuzi b’endiga abaali bandaba ne bamanya nti ekyo kyali kigambo kya Katonda.
And it was broken in that day: and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12 Ne ndyoka mbagamba nti, “Bwe kiba nga kisaanidde mu maaso gammwe mumpe empeera yange; naye obanga temusiimye mulekeeyo.” Awo ne bambalira ensimbi eza ffeeza amakumi asatu.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty [pieces] of silver.
13 Awo Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Zisuulire omubumbi,” omuwendo guno ogw’ekitalo gwe bansasula! Kale ne ntwala ensimbi amakumi asatu eza ffeeza ne nzisuulira omubumbi mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of the LORD.
14 Awo ne mmenya omuggo gwange ogwokubiri Kwegatta, okulaga nti obumu obwali wakati wa Yuda ne Isirayiri bwali bukomye.
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Mukama n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Twala nate ebintu eby’omusumba omusirusiru bye yandikozesezza.
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 Kubanga laba, nze nyimusizza omusumba mu nsi atafaayo ku ndiga ezizikirira era atanoonya zisaasaanye, era atayunga zimenyese wadde okuliisa ennamu, naye alya ensolo ensava ng’aziyuzaako ebinuulo.
For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek those that be scattered, nor heal that that is broken; neither shall he feed that which is sound, but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and shall tear their hoofs in pieces.
17 “‘Zimusanze omusumba wange ataliiko ky’agasa agayaalirira ekisibo! Ekitala kifumite omukono gwe ogwa ddyo, kiggyemu n’eriiso lye erya ddyo! Omukono gwe gukalire ddala, n’eriiso lye erya ddyo lizibire ddala!’”
Woe to the worthless 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.
