Zakkaariyaas 11
1 Yaa Libaanoon, akka ibiddi birbirsa kee gubee fixuuf balbala kee banadhu!
Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Yaa muka gaattiraa, birbirsi kufeeraatii wawwaadhu; mukkeen ulfina qaban badaniiru! Yaa qilxuu Baashaan wawwaadhu; bosonni gobbuun ciramee dhumeera!
Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
3 Wawwaannaa tiksootaa dhaggeeffadhaa; lafti tika isaanii inni gabbataan barbadaaʼeeraatii! Aaduu leencaa dhagaʼaa; bosonni Yordaanos gobbuun sun barbadaaʼeeraatii!
A voice of the wailing of the shepherds. For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions. For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4 Waaqayyo Waaqni koo akkana jedha: “Bushaayee qalmaaf qopheeffaman tiksi.
Thus says Jehovah my God: "Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 Warri isaan bitatan, qalatanii utuu hin adabamin hafu. Warri gurguratanis, ‘Waaqayyoon galanni haa gaʼu; ani sooressa!’ jedhu. Tiksoonni isaanii garaa isaaniif hin laafan.
Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds do not pity them.
6 Ani siʼachi uummata biyyattiitiif garaa hin laafuutii” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani nama hunda dabarsee ollaa isaatii fi mootii isaatti nan kenna. Isaan biyyattii ni rukutu; anis harka isaaniitii isaan hin baasu.”
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land," says Jehovah; "but, look, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."
7 Kanaafuu ani bushaayee qalmaaf qopheeffaman, keessumattuu kanneen bushaayee cunqurfaman nan tikfadhe. Ergasii ani ulee lama fudhadhee isa tokkoon Surraa isa kaaniin immoo Tokkummaa jedheen moggaase; akkasiinis bushaayee nan tikfadhe.
So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called "Favor," and the other I called "Union," and I fed the flock.
8 Ani jiʼuma tokko keessatti tiksoota sadan nan balleesse. Lubbuun koo isaan balfite; lubbuun isaaniis na balfite;
I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9 akkanas jedheen; “Ani tiksee keessan hin taʼu. Kan duʼu haa duʼu; kan badus haa badu. Kanneen hafanis foon walii haa nyaatan.”
Then I said, "I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other's flesh."
10 Ergasii ani kakuu saboota hunda wajjin gale cabsuudhaaf ulee koo kan Surraa jedhamu fuudhee nan cabse.
I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11 Innis guyyuma sana cabe; kanaafuu bushaayeen dhiphatan kanneen na ilaalaa turan akka wanni kun dubbii Waaqayyoo taʼe beekan.
It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
12 Anis, “Yoo wanni kun waan gaarii isinitti fakkaate, gatii koo naaf kennaa; yoo taʼuu baate immoo dhiisaa” nan jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan meetii soddoma naaf kennan.
I said to them, "If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them." So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 Waaqayyos gatii gaarii isaan itti na shallagan sana, “Mankuusa keessa buusi!” naan jedhe. Kanaafuu ani meetii soddomman sana fuudhee mana Waaqayyoo keessatti mankuusa keessa nan buuse.
Jehovah said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them." I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Jehovah.
14 Ergasii ani obbolummaa Yihuudaatii fi Israaʼel diiguudhaaf ulee koo lammaffaa kan Tokkummaa jedhamu sana nan cabse.
Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Kana irratti Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Ammas miʼa tiksee gowwaa sanaa fuudhi.
Jehovah said to me, "Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 Ani kunoo biyyattii keessatti tiksee hoolotaa nan kaasa; innis isa bade hin yaadatu; isa joore hin barbaadu; isa cabe hin walʼaanu; isa fayye hin sooru; garuu foon coomaa ni nyaata; kottee isaaniis ni caccabsa.
For, look, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17 “Tiksee faayidaa hin qabne kan bushaayee gatee deemuuf wayyoo! Goraadeen irree isaatii fi ija isaa mirgaa haa dhaʼu! Irreen isaa guutumaan guutuutti haa goggogu; iji isaa mirgaa guutumaan guutuutti haa jaamu!”
Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock. The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded."
