Zakaria 11
1 Sokafo o lalam-bei’oo ry Libanone hampibotseha’ ty afo o mendoraveñeo.
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, That the fire may devour thy cedars!
2 Mangololoiha, ry talý, fa nideboñe i mendoraveñey; fa nianto o nanam-bolonahetseo; Mangoihoìa, ry kile’ i Basane fa hinatsake i ala matahetsey.
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 Inao! ty fitoreova’ o mpiarakeo, fa mianto ty enge’ iareo; Inao! ty fitroña’ o liona tora’eo, fa robake ty fisengea’ Iordane.
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 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahareko: Andrazo i lia-raike ho zamaneñey;
Thus said Jehovah, my God: Feed thou the flock of slaughter,
5 Vonoe’ o mpikaloo iareo fe tsy liloveñe, le manao ty hoe o mandetake iareoo: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, amy te nahampañarivo ahy; vaho tsy tretreze’ o mpiara’eo.
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 Aa le tsy ho ferenaiñako ka ty mpimone’ i taney, hoe t’Iehovà; Inao, songa haseseko am-pitàn-drañe’e t’indaty naho am-pitàm-panjaka’e; ho demohe’ iereo i taney, le izaho tsy hamotsotse am-pità’iareo.
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 Aa le nifahanako i lia-raike ho lentañey, o vata’e rarake amy lia-raikeio. Le rinambeko ty kobaiñe roe; ty natao Isoke naho ty natao Vanditse; vaho nandrazeko i lia-raikey.
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 Naitoeko añate’ ty vola’e raike ty mpiarake telo; Toe tsy nahaliñe iareo ty troko, vaho nalaiñe ahy ka ty tro’ iareo.
And I cut off three shepherds in one month; for I was weary of them, and they also abhorred me.
9 Aa le hoe iraho: Tsy handrazeko nahareo adono hivetrake ze hivetrake; apoho haito ze haito; vaho angao hifampihinañe ty nofo’e o sehanga’eo.
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 Rinambeko i kobaiko atao Isokey, le tsineratserako, hifoterako amy fañina nanoeko am’ondaty iabio.
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 Toe pinozako amy andro zay; vaho nifohi’ ze mañaoñe ahy amo misotry amy lia-raikeio t’ie nitsarae’ Iehovà.
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 Aa le hoe ty asako tam’ iereo: Naho atao’ areo te mañeva le atoloro ahy ty tambeko; fa naho tsie le apoho; vaho linanja’ iareo ty volafoty telo-polo ho tambeko.
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 Le hoe t’Iehovà tamako: Afetsaho mb’amy mpanao valàñe taney mb’eo i vili’e sarotse nikaloa’ iareo ahikoy. Nendeseko amy zao i volafoty telopoloy vaho nahifiko amy mpanao valàñe taney añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
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 Tsineratserako ka i kobaiko faharoe atao Vanditsey, soa t’ie hibalake ty fifampilongoa’ Iehodà naho Israele.
Then I broke my other crook, even Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Le hoe t’Iehovà tamako: Rambeso indraike o haraom-piarake gegegegeo.
And Jehovah said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 Ingo, hampitroareko mpiarake tsy hañaoñe o naitoañ’ amy taneio naho tsy hitsoeke o tora’eo, naho tsy ho melañe’e o folakeo, vaho tsy ho fahana’e o mbe mijohañeo, fa ho kamae’e ty hena’ o vondrakeo, naho ho pozapozahe’e o hotro’eo.
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 Hankàñe amy mpiarake tsy jefa’e mahafari’ i lia-raikeiy! ho an-tsira’e ty fibara naho am-pihaino’e havana; hiforejeje i sira’ey ho maieñe i fihaino’e havanay.
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!
