Zakaria 11
1 Vohay ny varavaranao, ry Libanona ô! Handevonan’ ny afo ny sederanao
Open, O Lebanon, your doors, And fire devours among your cedars.
2 Midradradradra, ry hazo kypreso! Fa efa nianjera ny sedera, Eny, fongotra ireo avo be; Midradradradrà, ianareo ôka any Basana! Fa ripaka ny ala mikirindro
Howl, O fir, for the cedar has fallen, For their majestic ones were destroyed, Howl, you oaks of Bashan, For the enclosed forest has come down,
3 Injay! fidradradradran’ ny mpiandry ondry! Fa rava ny voninahiny; Injay! fieron’ ny liona tanora! Fa rava ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana
A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For their robe of honor was destroyed, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For the excellence of Jordan was destroyed.
4 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra: Andraso ny ondry izay hovonoina,
Thus said my God YHWH: “Feed the flock of the slaughter,
5 dia ireo vonoin’ ny tompony nefa tsy ananany heloka; ary ny mivarotra azy manao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, fa manan-karena aho; ary ny mpiandry azy koa dia tsy miantra azy
Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed [is] YHWH, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.
6 Fa tsy hiantra ny mponina amin’ ny tany intsony Aho, hoy Jehovah; fa, indro, Izaho dia hanolotra ny olona samy ho eo an-tànan’ ny namany sy samy ho eo an-tanan’ ny mpanjakany avy; ary hamely ny tany ireo, nefa tsy mba hanafaka amin’ ny tànany Aho.
For I no longer have pity on inhabitants of the land, A declaration of YHWH, And behold, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbor, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.”
7 Ary niandry ny ondry izay hovonoina Aho, dia izay ondry mahantra. Ary naka tehina roa ho Ahy Aho, ny iray nataoko hoe Fahasoavana, ary ny iray kosa nataoko hoe Fikambanana; ary nandrasako ny ondry.
And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, you afflicted of the flock; and I take two staffs to myself; I have called one Pleasantness, and I have called the other Bands, and I feed the flock.
8 Ary nandringana ny mpiandry ondry telo Aho tamin’ ny iray volana, fa tsy nahatsindry fo taminy intsony, sady tofoka Ahy ny fanahiny.
And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul has abhorred me.
9 Dia hoy Izaho: Tsy hiandry anareo Aho: izay ho faty dia aoka ho faty, ary izay ho ringana dia aoka ho ringana, ary ny sisa dia aoka samy hihinana ny nofon’ ny namany avy.
And I say, “I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbor.”
10 Ary noraisiko ny tehiko Fahasoavana ka notapahiko, mba hanafoanako ny fanekena izay efa nataoko tamin’ ny firenena rehetra.
And I take my staff Pleasantness, and cut it apart, to make void my covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
11 Ary tapaka tamin’ izany andro izany iny, ka dia fantatry ny ondry mahantra, izay nitandrina ny teniko, fa tenin’ i Jehovah izany.
and it is broken in that day, and the afflicted of the flock who are observing me know well, that it [is] a word of YHWH.
12 Dia hoy izaho taminy: Raha tsara eo imasonareo, dia omeo ahy ny karamako; fa raha tsy izany, dia aoka ihany. Ary dia nolanjainy ny karamako, ka sekely volafotsy telo-polo.
And I say to them: “If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, refrain”; and they weigh out my hire—thirty pieces of silver.
13 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Atsipazo amin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga izany vola be nanombanany Ahy izany! Dia noraisiko ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo ka natsipiko tamin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
And YHWH says to me, “Cast it to the potter”; the good price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them [into] the house of YHWH, to the potter.
14 Dia notapahiko koa ilay tehiko anankiray Fikambanana, hanafoanako ny firahalahian’ i Joda sy Isiraely.
And I cut apart my second staff, Bands, To break the unity between Judah and Israel.
15 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Alao ho anao koa ny tehin’ ny mpiandry ondry adala.
And YHWH says to me, “Again take to yourself the instrument of a foolish shepherd.
16 Fa, indro, Izaho hanangana mpiandry amin’ ny tany, izay tsy hamangy ny naringana, na hitady ny niely, na hanasitrana ny naratra, na hiandry izay mbola matanjaka; fa hohaniny ny nofon’ ny matavy sady helakelahiny ny kitrony.
For behold, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he does not inspect, The shaken off he does not seek, And the broken he does not heal, The standing he does not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he eats, And their hooves he breaks off.
17 Lozan’ ny mpiandry ondry tsy mahomby izay mandao ny ondry! Ny sabatra no hanely ny sandriny sy ny masony ankavanana; halazo tokoa ny sandriny, ary ho jamba tokoa ny masony ankavanana.
Woe [to] the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword [is] on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!”
