ज़कर 11
1 ऐ लुबनान, तू अपने दरवाज़ों को खोलदे ताकि आग तेरे देवदारों को खा जाए।
[You people of] [APO] Lebanon [should] open your gates, [because you will not be able to stop] fire from burning your cedar [trees]!
2 ऐ सरो के दरख़्त, नौहा कर क्यूँकि देवदार गिर गया, शानदार गारत हो गए। ऐ बसनी बलूत के दरख़्तो, फ़ुगां करो क्यूँकि दुशवार गुज़ार जंगल साफ़ हो
Your cypress/pine [trees] [APO] should [also] wail because the cedar [trees] have been cut down. Those glorious/great trees have been destroyed. The oak trees in the Bashan [region] should also wail, because the other trees in the forest have been cut down.
3 चरवाहों के नौहे की आवाज़ आती है, क्यूँकि उनकी हशमत ग़ारत हुई! जवान बबरों की गरज़ सुनाई देती है क्यूँकि यरदन का जंगल बर्बाद हो गया!
And listen to the shepherds crying because the fertile pastures have been ruined. Listen to the lions roar; they roar because the delightful forest [where they live] near the Jordan [River] has been ruined.
4 ख़ुदावन्द मेरा ख़ुदा यूँ फ़रमाता है: “कि जो भेड़ें ज़बह हो रही हैं उनको चरा।
This is what Yahweh my God said [to me]: “[I want you to] become a shepherd for a flock [of sheep that are about] to be slaughtered.
5 जिनके मालिक उनको ज़बह करते और अपने आप को बेक़ुसूर समझते हैं, और जिनके बेचने वाले कहते हैं, ख़ुदावन्द का शुक्र हो कि हम मालदार हुए, और उनके चरवाहे उन पर रहम नहीं करते।
The people who are going to buy the sheep will kill the sheep, and they will not be punished. Those who are selling the sheep say, ‘[I] praise Yahweh, [because] I will become rich!’ Even the shepherds do not feel sorry for the sheep.
6 क्यूँकि ख़ुदावन्द फ़रमाता है, मुल्क के बाशिन्दों पर फिर रहम नहीं करूँगा, बल्कि हर शख़्स को उसके हमसाये और उसके बादशाह के हवाले कर दूँगा; वह मुल्क को तबाह करेंगे और मैं उनको उनके हाथ से नहीं छुड़ाऊँगा।”
And similarly, I no longer feel sorry for the people of this country. I am going to allow many of them [HYP] to be captured by other people or by their king. Those who capture them will ruin this country, and I will not rescue any [of the people].”
7 तब मैंने उन भेड़ों को जो ज़बह हो रही थीं, या'नी गल्ले के मिस्कीनों को चराया और मैंने दो लाठियाँ लीं; एक का नाम फ़ज़ल रख्खा और दूसरी का इत्तिहाद, और गल्ले को चराया।
So I became the shepherd of a flock [of sheep that were about] to be slaughtered [for their meat to be sold] to the dealers. [I took good care of the sheep, even the ones that were the weakest sheep. Then] I took two [shepherds’] /walking sticks). I named the one [staff] ‘Kindness’ and the other [staff] ‘Union’. And I took good care of the sheep.
8 और मैंने एक महीने में तीन चरवाहों को हलाक किया, क्यूँकि मेरी जान उनसे बेज़ार थी; उनके दिल में मुझ से कराहियत थी।
But the three shepherds [who had been working with me] detested me, and I became impatient with them. Within one month I (dismissed/got rid of) those shepherds.
9 तब मैंने कहा, कि अब मैं तुम को न चराऊँगा। मरने वाला मरजाए और हलाक होने वाला हलाक हो, बाक़ी एक दूसरे का गोश्त खाएँ।
So I said [to the dealers], “I will no [longer] be the shepherd. I will allow the ones that are dying to die. I will allow the ones that are getting lost to get lost. And I will not prevent those that remain from destroying each other.”
10 तब मैंने फ़ज़ल नामी लाठी को लिया और उसे काट डाला कि अपने 'अहद को जो मैंने सब लोगों से बाँधा था, मन्सूख़ करूँ।
Then I took the staff that I had named ‘Kindness’ and I broke it. [That showed that Yahweh] was annulling/canceling the agreement that he had made with all the people-groups.
11 और वह उसी दिन मन्सूख़ हो गया; तब गल्ले के मिस्कीनों ने जो मेरी सुनते थे, मा'लूम किया कि यह ख़ुदावन्द का कलाम है;
So that agreement was ended immediately. And the men who bought and sold sheep who were watching me knew [by seeing what I was doing] that I was giving them a message from Yahweh.
12 और मैंने उनसे कहा, कि “अगर तुम्हारी नज़र में ठीक हो, तो मेरी मज़दूरी मुझे दो नहीं तो मत दो।” और उन्होंने मेरी मज़दूरी के लिए तीस रुपये तोल कर दिए।
I told them, “If you think it is what you should do, pay me [for taking care of the sheep]. If you do not think that is what you should do, do not pay me.” So they paid me [only] 30 pieces of silver.
13 और ख़ुदावन्द ने मुझे हुक्म दिया, कि “उसे कुम्हार के सामने फेंक दे,” या'नी इस बड़ी क़ीमत को जो उन्होंने मेरे लिए ठहराई, और मैंने यह तीस रुपये लेकर ख़ुदावन्द के घर में कुम्हार के सामने फेंक दिए।
Then Yahweh said to me, “[That is a ridiculously small amount of money that they have paid you]! [So] throw it to the man who makes clay pots!” So I took the silver to the temple of Yahweh, and I threw it in the chest where the offerings/money is kept.
14 तब मैंने दूसरी लाठी या'नी इत्तिहाद नामी को काट डाला, ताकि उस बिरादरी को जो यहूदाह और इस्राईल में है ख़त्म करूँ
Then I broke my second staff, [the one that I named] ‘Union’. That [indicated that] Judah and Israel would no longer be united.
15 और ख़ुदावन्द ने मुझे फ़रमाया, कि “तू फिर नादान चरवाहे का सामान ले।
Then Yahweh said to me, “Take again the things that a foolish shepherd uses,
16 क्यूँकि देख, मैं मुल्क में ऐसा चौपान बर्पा करूँगा, जो हलाक होने वाले की ख़बर गीरी, और भटके हुए की तलाश और ज़ख़्मी का 'इलाज न करेगा, और तन्दुरुस्त को न चराएगा लेकिन मोटों का गोश्त खाएगा, और उनके खुरों को तोड़ डालेगा।
because I am going to appoint a new king for the people, [one who will not take care of my people. He will be like a foolish shepherd]: [MET] He will not take care of those who are dying, those who are very young, those who have been injured, or those who do not have enough food. Instead, he will [treat them very cruelly, like a shepherd who would] [MET] kill and eat the best sheep and tear off their hoofs.
17 उस नाबकार चरवाहे पर अफ़सोस, जो ग़ल्ले को छोड़ जाता है, तलवार उसके बाजू़ और उसकी दहनी आँख पर आ पड़ेगी। उसका बाजू़ बिल्कुल सूख जाएगा और उसकी दहनी आँख फूट जाएगी।”
But terrible things will happen to that foolish/useless king who abandons the people [MET] over whom he rules. [His enemies] will strike his arm and his right eye with their swords. [The result will be that] he will have no strength in his arm, and his right eye will become completely blind.”
