< Zechariah 11 >

1 Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
Vohay ny varavaranao, ry Libanona ô! Handevonan’ ny afo ny sederanao
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.
Midradradradra, ry hazo kypreso! Fa efa nianjera ny sedera, Eny, fongotra ireo avo be; Midradradradrà, ianareo ôka any Basana! Fa ripaka ny ala mikirindro
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.
Injay! fidradradradran’ ny mpiandry ondry! Fa rava ny voninahiny; Injay! fieron’ ny liona tanora! Fa rava ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana
4 Yahweh my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra: Andraso ny ondry izay hovonoina,
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.
dia ireo vonoin’ ny tompony nefa tsy ananany heloka; ary ny mivarotra azy manao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, fa manan-karena aho; ary ny mpiandry azy koa dia tsy miantra azy
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.”
Fa tsy hiantra ny mponina amin’ ny tany intsony Aho, hoy Jehovah; fa, indro, Izaho dia hanolotra ny olona samy ho eo an-tànan’ ny namany sy samy ho eo an-tanan’ ny mpanjakany avy; ary hamely ny tany ireo, nefa tsy mba hanafaka amin’ ny tànany Aho.
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.
Ary niandry ny ondry izay hovonoina Aho, dia izay ondry mahantra. Ary naka tehina roa ho Ahy Aho, ny iray nataoko hoe Fahasoavana, ary ny iray kosa nataoko hoe Fikambanana; ary nandrasako ny ondry.
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Ary nandringana ny mpiandry ondry telo Aho tamin’ ny iray volana, fa tsy nahatsindry fo taminy intsony, sady tofoka Ahy ny fanahiny.
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.”
Dia hoy Izaho: Tsy hiandry anareo Aho: izay ho faty dia aoka ho faty, ary izay ho ringana dia aoka ho ringana, ary ny sisa dia aoka samy hihinana ny nofon’ ny namany avy.
10 I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
Ary noraisiko ny tehiko Fahasoavana ka notapahiko, mba hanafoanako ny fanekena izay efa nataoko tamin’ ny firenena rehetra.
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.
Ary tapaka tamin’ izany andro izany iny, ka dia fantatry ny ondry mahantra, izay nitandrina ny teniko, fa tenin’ i Jehovah izany.
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.
Dia hoy izaho taminy: Raha tsara eo imasonareo, dia omeo ahy ny karamako; fa raha tsy izany, dia aoka ihany. Ary dia nolanjainy ny karamako, ka sekely volafotsy telo-polo.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Atsipazo amin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga izany vola be nanombanany Ahy izany! Dia noraisiko ny sekely volafotsy telo-polo ka natsipiko tamin’ ny mpanefy tanimanga tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Dia notapahiko koa ilay tehiko anankiray Fikambanana, hanafoanako ny firahalahian’ i Joda sy Isiraely.
15 Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Alao ho anao koa ny tehin’ ny mpiandry ondry adala.
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.
Fa, indro, Izaho hanangana mpiandry amin’ ny tany, izay tsy hamangy ny naringana, na hitady ny niely, na hanasitrana ny naratra, na hiandry izay mbola matanjaka; fa hohaniny ny nofon’ ny matavy sady helakelahiny ny kitrony.
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!”
Lozan’ ny mpiandry ondry tsy mahomby izay mandao ny ondry! Ny sabatra no hanely ny sandriny sy ny masony ankavanana; halazo tokoa ny sandriny, ary ho jamba tokoa ny masony ankavanana.
