Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
Meghee ọnụ ụzọ gị niile, gị Lebanọn. Ka ọkụ repịa osisi sida gị niile.
2 Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
Kwasie akwa ike, gị osisi junipa, nʼihi na osisi sida adaala, nʼihi na e mebiela osisi ukwu ndị niile ahụ mabigara mma oke. Kwasienụ akwa ike, unu osisi ook nke Bashan, nʼihi na e gbudachala oke ọhịa ahụ!
3 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.
Gee ntị nʼụzụ akwa nke ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ, e mebiela ebe ịta nri mara mma nke anụ ụlọ ha. Gee ntị ka unu nụrụ olu mbigbọ nke ụmụ ọdụm, nʼihi na e bibiela oke ọhịa nke Jọdan.
4 Yahweh my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke m kwuru, “Zụọnụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a ga-egbu egbu nri.
5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
Ndị na-azụrụ ha na-egbu ha ma ọ dịghị ahụhụ na-abịakwasị ha. Ndị na-erekwa ha na-asị, ‘Toonu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na abụ m ọgaranya.’ Ndị ọzụzụ ha adịghị enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ha.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says Yahweh; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men 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.”
Nʼihi na mụ onwe m agakwaghị egosi ndị ala a obi ebere.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. “Aga m ewere onye ọbụla nʼime ha nyefee nʼaka onye agbataobi ya, na nʼaka eze ha. Ha ga-ebibi ala a kpamkpam, ma mụ onwe m agaghị anapụta onye ọbụla site nʼaka ha.”
7 So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, 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.
Nʼihi ya, azụrụ m igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ a ga-egbu egbu, nke ka nke, ndị ahụ a na-emegbu emegbu. Eweere m mkpanaka abụọ, kpọọ otu nʼime ha Amara, kpọọ nke ọzọ Ịdị nʼotu. Azụkwara m igwe atụrụ ndị ahụ.
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Nʼime otu ọnwa, ewezugara m ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ atọ. Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị ahụ kpọkwazịrị m asị, enwezighị m ike nweere ha ndidi.
9 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.”
Nʼihi ya, ekwuru m si, “Agaghị m abụkwa onye ọzụzụ atụrụ unu ọzọ. Nke ọbụla na-anwụ, ya nwụọ, ọzọ, nke na-ala nʼiyi, ya laa nʼiyi. Ka ndị fọdụrụ rie anụ ahụ ibe ha.”
10 I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
Mgbe ahụ, eweere m mkpanaka m, nke a kpọrọ Amara gbajie ya abụọ, igosi na emebiela m ọgbụgba ndụ nke mụ na ndị mmadụ gbara.
11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was Yahweh’s word.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka e mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ gharakwa ịdị. Mgbe ahụ, ndị ahụ a na-akpagbu nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ ahụ, bụ ndị na-ele m anya matara na ọ bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
12 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.
Mgbe ahụ, agwara m ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị unu, unu kwụọ m ụgwọ ọrụ m, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ masịghị unu, deberenụ onwe unu ego unu.” Nʼihi nke a, ha gụpụtara mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha iri atọ, jiri ya kwụọ m ụgwọ.
13 Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s house.
Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite,” bụ ọnụahịa magburu onwe ya bụ nke ha rụrụ nʼisi m. Ya mere, eweere m iri ọlaọcha atọ ahụ tụpụrụ ya ọkpụ ite nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, agbajiri m mkpanaka m nke abụọ a na-akpọ Ịdị nʼotu, izipụta na njikọta maọbụ ịdị nʼotu dị nʼetiti Juda na Izrel adịghịkwa.
15 Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara m, “Chịrịkwa ngwa ọrụ nke onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nzuzu ahụ,
16 For, behold, 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 meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
nʼihi na ana m aga ịkpọlite otu onye ọzụzụ atụrụ nke na-agaghị elekọta ụmụ atụrụ furu efu, maọbụ chọọ ndị na-etolite, maọbụ gwọọ ndị merụrụ ahụ, maọbụ nye ndị ahụ dị ike nri. Kama ọ ga-eri anụ atụrụ ndị ahụ ahụ ha dị mma, nyakapụkwa ụkwụ ha niile.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
“Ahụhụ dịrị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ahụ na-abaghị uru, nke na-adịghị elezi igwe ewu na atụrụ ya anya. Ka mma agha gbupụ ya otu aka, ghụpụkwa ya anya aka nri ya. Ka ogwe aka ya kpọnwụọkwa kpamkpam. Otu a, anya aka nri ya ga-akpọkwa.”
