Zechariah 11
1 Open your gates, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedars.
Ou menm peyi Liban, louvri pòtay ou yo pou dife ka boule tout pye sèd ou yo.
2 Howl, you fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the magnificent have been devastated. Howl, you oaks of Bashan, because the secure forest passage has been cut down.
Nou menm, pye sikren yo, plenn sò nou! Paske pye sèd la tonbe. Gwo pyebwa yo fini! Nou menm, pye bwadchenn peyi Bazan yo, rele, plenn sò nou! Paske gwo rak plen bwa a kraze!
3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their magnificence has been devastated. The voice of the roaring of the lions: because the arrogance of the Jordan has been devastated.
Kote ou pase, ou tande chèf yo ap plenn! Yo fini, yo pèdi pouvwa a yo. Kote ou pase, ou tande jenn ti lyon yo ap plenn! Yo koupe tout bèl rakbwa ki sou bò larivyè Jouden yo.
4 Thus says the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,
Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, di m' konsa: -Ou pral swen mouton y'ap pare pou labatwa.
5 which those who possessed them cut down, and they did not feel sorrow, and they sold them, saying: “Blessed be the Lord; we have become wealthy. Even their shepherds did not spare them.”
Moun k'ap achte yo a ap touye yo. Pesonn pa ka mande yo kont. Moun k'ap vann yo menm ap di: Lwanj pou Bondye! Gade jan nou rich non! Ata gadò mouton yo pa gen pitye pou yo.
6 And so, I will no longer spare the inhabitants upon the earth, says the Lord. Behold, I will deliver men, each one into the hand of his neighbor and into the hand of his king. And they will cut down the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.
(Seyè a di: Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou moun ki rete nan peyi a. Se mwen menm ki pral lage yo nan men pwòp chèf yo ak pwòp wa yo ankò. Chèf yo pral fini ak peyi a. Mwen p'ap fè anyen pou m' wete yo anba men yo.)
7 And I will pasture the flock of the slaughter, because of this, O poor of the flock. And I took to myself two staffs: the one I called Handsome, and the other I called Rope, and I pastured the flock.
Se konsa, moun k'ap fè trafik mouton yo peye m' pou m' swen mouton y'ap pare pou labatwa yo pou yo. Mwen pran de baton. Mwen rele yonn Favè, mwen rele lòt la Tèt ansanm. Epi mwen tanmen pran swen mouton yo.
8 And I cut down three shepherds in one month. And my soul became contracted concerning them, just as their soul also varied concerning me.
Gadò yo ban m' degoutans. Nan yon mwa, mwen te chanje twa gadò yonn apre lòt. Yo menm tou, yo pa t' vle wè m'.
9 And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.
Lè sa a, mwen di pèp la: -Mwen p'ap swen nou ankò. Sa ki pou mouri mèt mouri! Sa ki pou disparèt mèt disparèt! Sa ki rete yo menm, yonn mèt manje lòt.
10 And I took my staff, which was called Handsome, and I tore it apart, so as to invalidate my pact, which I had struck with all of the people.
Lèfini, mwen pran baton Favè a, mwen kase l' de bout. Ki vle di, mwen kase kontra mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te pase ak tout nasyon yo.
11 And it became invalid in that day. And so they understood, just like the poor of the flock who stay close to me, that this is the word of the Lord.
Jou sa a, kontra a te kase. Moun k'ap fè trafik mouton yo te rete la ap gade m'. Yo vin konprann sa m' te fè a. Yo rekonèt se yon mesaj Seyè a t'ap ba yo.
12 And I said to them: If it is good in your eyes, bring me my wages. And if not, remain still. And they weighed for my wages thirty silver coins.
Mwen di yo: -Si nou vle peye m', nou mèt peye m'. Si nou pa vle tou, sa pa fè anyen. Y'a l' pran lajan an, yo peye m' trant pyès an ajan pou sa m' te fè a.
13 And the Lord said to me: Cast it towards the statuary, the handsome price at which I have been valued by them. And I took the thirty silver coins, and I cast them into the house of the Lord, towards the statuary.
Men, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Al bay lajan an pou yo mete l' nan kès tanp lan. Konsa, mwen pran trant pyès an ajan yo, bèl pri yo te wè pou yo te ban m' pou travay mwen te fè a, mwen mete yo nan kès tanp lan.
14 And I cut short my second staff, which was called Rope, so that I might dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Apre sa, mwen kase dezyèm baton m' lan, sa mwen te rele Tèt Ansanm lan, pou fè konnen pa gen tèt ansanm ankò ant moun Jida yo ak moun Izrayèl yo.
15 And the Lord said to me: Still they are to you the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m': -Pran pòz gadò ou ankò. Men, fwa sa a, yon gadò ki pa vo anyen.
16 For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish what remains standing, and he will consume the flesh of the fatted ones and break their hoofs.
Paske mwen pral mete yon gadò pou okipe bann mouton m' yo. Men, lè yon mouton pèdi, se pa pou li sa. Si yonn egare, li pa pral chache l'. Si yonn blese, li p'ap fè anyen pou geri l'. Si yonn bouke, li p'ap fè anyen pou soutni l'. Okontrè, l'ap manje sa ki pi gra yo, l'ap fann zago tout lòt yo.
17 O shepherd and idol, abandoning the flock, with a sword upon his arm and over his right eye: his arm will be withered by drought, and his right eye will be obscured by darkness.
Madichon pou move gadò a! Li kouri kite mouton yo pou kont yo. Se pou lagè fini ak pouvwa l' la. Se pou bra l' vin pòk, se pou li pa wè nan je dwat li.
