< Zechariah 11 >

1 Ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn rẹ sílẹ̀, ìwọ Lebanoni, kí iná bá lè jẹ igi kedari rẹ run.
Open thy doores, O Lebanon, and the fire shall deuoure thy cedars.
2 Hu, igi junifa; nítorí igi kedari ṣubú, nítorí tí a ba àwọn igi tí o lógo jẹ́: hu, ẹ̀yin igi óákù tí Baṣani, nítorí gé igbó àjàrà lulẹ̀.
Houle, firre trees: for the cedar is fallen, because all the mightie are destroyed: houle ye, O okes of Bashan, for ye defesed forest is cut downe.
3 Gbọ́ ohun igbe àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn; ògo wọn bàjẹ́; gbọ́ ohùn bíbú àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún nítorí ògo Jordani bàjẹ́.
There is the voyce of the houling of the shepherdes: for their glorie is destroyed: the voyce of ye roaring of lyons whelpes: for the pride of Iorden is destroyed.
4 Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi wí: “Bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa.
Thus sayeth the Lord my God, Feede the sheepe of the slaughter.
5 Tí àwọn olúwa wọn ń pa wọ́n, tí wọn kò sì ka ara wọn sí pé wọn jẹ̀bi: àti àwọn tí ń tà wọ́n wí pé, ‘Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa, nítorí tí mo dí ọlọ́rọ̀!’ Àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn kò sì ṣàánú wọn.
They that possesse them, slay them and sinne not: and they that sell them, say, Blessed be the Lord: for I am riche, and their owne shepherds spare them not.
6 Nítorí èmi kì yóò ṣàánú fún àwọn ara ilẹ̀ náà mọ́,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ṣí kíyèsi í, èmi yóò fi olúkúlùkù ènìyàn lé aládùúgbò rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, àti lé ọwọ́ ọba rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì fọ́ ilẹ̀ náà, èmi kì yóò sì gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ wọn.”
Surely I wil no more spare those that dwell in the land, sayth the Lord: but loe, I will deliuer the men euery one into his neighbours hand, and into the hand of his King: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hands I wil not deliuer them.
7 Èmi yóò sì bọ́ ẹran àbọ́pa, àní ẹ̀yin òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran. Mo sì mu ọ̀pá méjì sọ́dọ̀; mo pè ọ̀kan ni Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo pè èkejì ni Àmùrè; mo sì bọ́ ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà.
For I fed the sheepe of slaughter, euen the poore of the flocke, and I tooke vnto me two staues: the one I called Beautie, and the other I called Bandes, and I fed the sheepe.
8 Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn mẹ́ta ni mo sì gé kúrò ní oṣù kan. Ọkàn mi sì kórìíra wọn, ọkàn wọn pẹ̀lú sì kórìíra mi.
Three shepherdes also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule lothed them, and their soule abhorred me.
9 Mo sì wí pé, “Èmi kì yóò bọ́ yin: èyí ti ń ku lọ, jẹ́ kí òkú o kú; èyí tí a o ba sì gé kúrò, jẹ́ kí a gé e kúrò; ki olúkúlùkù nínú àwọn ìyókù jẹ́ ẹran-ara ẹnìkejì rẹ̀.”
Then said I, I will not feede you: that that dyeth, let it dye: and that that perisheth, let it perish: and let the remnant eate, euery one the flesh of his neighbour.
10 Mo sì mu ọ̀pá mi, ti a ń pè ní Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, mo ṣẹ́ si méjì, ki èmi bá lè da májẹ̀mú mi tí mo tí bá gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà dá.
And I tooke my staffe, euen Beautie, and brake it, that I might disanull my couenant, which I had made with all people.
11 Ó sì dá ni ọjọ́ náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn òtòṣì nínú ọ̀wọ́ ẹran náà tí ó dúró tì mí mọ̀ pé, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ni.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poore of the sheepe that waited vpon me, knew that it was the worde of the Lord.
12 Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Bí ó bá dára ní ojú yin, ẹ fún mi ni owó ọ̀yà mi; bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ẹ mú un lọ́wọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wọn ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà fún iye owó ọ̀yà mi.
And I said vnto them, If ye thinke it good, giue me my wages: and if no, leaue off: so they weighed for my wages thirtie pieces of siluer.
13 Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Sọ ọ sí amọ̀kòkò.” Iye dáradára náà, tí wọn yọ owó mi sí. Mo sì mu ọgbọ̀n owó fàdákà náà, mo sì sọ wọ́n sí àpótí ìṣúra ní ilé Olúwa.
And the Lord said vnto me, Cast it vnto the potter: a goodly price, that I was valued at of them. And I tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
14 Mo sì ṣẹ́ ọ̀pá mi kejì, àní Àmùrè, sí méjì, kí èmi lè ya ìbátan tí ó wà láàrín Juda àti láàrín Israẹli.
Then brake I mine other staffe, euen the Bandes, that I might dissolue the brotherhood betweene Iudah and Israel.
15 Olúwa sì wí fún mi pé, “Tún mú ohun èlò aṣiwèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
And the Lord said vnto me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepheard.
16 Nítorí Èmi o gbé Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn kan dìde ni ilẹ̀ náà, tí kí yóò bẹ àwọn tí ó ṣègbé wò, ti kì yóò sì wá èyí tí ó yapa; tí kì yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú èyí tí a pa lára tàbí kí ó bọ́ àwọn tí ara wọn dá pépé: Ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò jẹ ẹran èyí tí ó ni ọ̀rá, àwọn èyí tiwọn fi èékánná wọn ya ara wọn pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ.
For loe, I will rayse vp a shepheard in the land, which shall not looke for the thing, that is lost, nor seeke the tender lambes, nor heale that that is hurt, nor feede that that standeth vp: but he shall eate the flesh of the fat, and teare their clawes in pieces.
17 “Ègbé ni fún olùṣọ́-àgùntàn asán náà, tí ó fi ọ̀wọ́ ẹran sílẹ̀! Idà yóò gé apá rẹ̀ àti ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀: apá rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ pátápátá, ojú ọ̀tún rẹ̀ yóò sì fọ́ pátápátá!”
O idole shepheard that leaueth the flocke: the sword shalbe vpon his arme, and vpon his right eye. His arme shall be cleane dryed vp, and his right eye shall be vtterly darkened.
