Zacarias 11
1 Ibukas mo ang iyong mga pinto, Oh Libano, upang supukin ng apoy ang iyong mga cedro.
Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.
2 Manambitan ka, Oh puno ng abeto, sapagka't ang cedro ay nabuwal, sapagka't ang mga mabuti ay nabuwal; magsipanambitan kayo, Oh mga encina sa Basan, sapagka't ang matibay na gubat ay nasira.
Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.
3 Ang isang hugong ng panambitan ng mga pastor! sapagka't ang kanilang kaluwalhatian ay nasira; ang isang hugong ng ungal ng mga batang leon! sapagka't ang kapalaluan ng Jordan ay nasira.
The sound of the crying of the keepers of the flock! for their glory is made waste: the sound of the loud crying of the young lions! for the pride of Jordan is made waste.
4 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon kong Dios, Pakanin mo ang kawan na papatayin;
This is what the Lord my God has said: Take care of the flock of death;
5 Na mga pinapatay ng mga mayari, at hindi mga inaaring maysala; at silang nangagbibili ng mga yaon ay nangagsasabi, Purihin ang Panginoon, sapagka't akoy mayaman; at ang kanilang sariling mga pastor ay hindi nangaawa sa mga yaon.
Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.
6 Sapagka't hindi na ako maaawa sa nagsisitahan sa lupain, sabi ng Panginoon; kundi, narito, aking ibibigay ang bawa't isa ng mga tao sa kamay ng kaniyang kapuwa, at sa kamay ng kaniyang hari; at kanilang ipapahamak ang lupain, at mula sa kanilang kamay ay di ko ililigtas sila.
For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.
7 Sa gayo'y aking pinapanginain ang kawan na papatayin, katotohanang kaawaawang kawan. At nagdala ako ng dalawang tungkod; ang isa'y tinawag kong Maganda, at ang isa'y tinawag kong mga Panali; at aking pinapanginain ang kawan.
So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.
8 At aking inihiwalay ang tatlong pastor sa isang buwan; sapagka't ang aking kaluluwa ay nagsawa sa kanila, at sila'y nayamot sa akin.
And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Hindi ko na papanginginainin kayo: ang namamatay, ay mamatay; at ang nahihiwalay, ay mahiwalay; at ang mangaiwan ay mangagkainan ng laman ng isa't isa.
And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.
10 At hinawakan ko ang aking tungkod na Maganda, at aking binali, upang aking sirain ang aking tipan na aking ipinakipagtipan sa lahat ng mga bayan.
And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.
11 At nasira nang araw na yaon; at ganito nakilala ng kaawaawa sa kawan na nagmamasid sa akin na yao'y salita ng Panginoon.
And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord.
12 At sinabi ko sa kanila; Kung inaakala ninyong mabuti, bigyan ninyo ako ng aking kaupahan; at kung hindi, inyong pabayaan. Sa gayo'y kanilang tinimbangan ang kaupahan ko ng tatlong pung putol na pilak.
And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.
13 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Ihagis mo sa magpapalyok, ang mainam na halaga na aking inihalaga sa kanila. At aking kinuha ang tatlong pung putol na pilak, at inihagis ko sa magpapalyok sa bahay ng Panginoon.
And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.
14 Nang magkagayo'y binali ko ang aking isang tungkod, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga Panali, upang aking masira ang pagkakapatiran ng Juda at ng Israel.
Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.
15 At sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon. Magdala ka pa uli ng mga kasangkapan ng isang mangmang na pastor.
And the Lord said to me, Take again the instruments of a foolish keeper of sheep.
16 Sapagka't, narito, ako'y magtitindig ng isang pastor sa lupain, na hindi dadalawin yaong nangahihiwalay, ni hahanapin man yaong nangaliligaw, ni pagagalingin man yaong mga pilay; ni papanginginainin man yaong mga magaling kundi kaniyang kakanin ang laman ng mataba at lulurayin ang kanilang mga kuko.
For see, I will put a sheep-keeper over the land, who will have no care for that which is cut off, and will not go in search of the wanderers, or make well what is broken, and he will not give food to that which is ill, but he will take for his food the flesh of the fat, and let their feet be broken.
17 Sa aba ng walang kabuluhang pastor na nagpapabaya ng kawan! ang tabak ay sasapit sa kaniyang kamay, at sa kaniyang kanang mata: ang kaniyang kamay ay matutuyong mainam, at ang kaniyang kanang mata ay lalabong lubos.
A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.
