Zacarias 11
1 Lukatam dagiti ruanganmo, O Libano, tapno ikisap ti apuy dagiti kayom a sedro!
Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
2 Agdung-awkayo a kayo a saleng ta natuangen dagiti kayo a sedro! Nadadaelen dagiti nadayag a kayo! Agdung-awkayo, dakayo a lugo ti Basan, ta napukanen ti nasamek a kabakiran.
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
3 Aganug-og dagiti parapastor, ta nadadaelen ti nalangto a pagpaarabanda! Agngernger ti urbon a leon, ta nadadaelen ti bakir ti Karayan Jordan!
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
4 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Diosko: “Kas iti maysa a parapastor, bantayam dagiti karnero a nairanta a maparti!
This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
5 (Partien ida dagiti manggatang kadakuada ket saanda a madusa, ket kuna dagiti mangilako kadakuada, 'Madaydayaw ni Yahweh! Bimmaknangak!' gapu ta awan asi kadagiti karnero dagiti parapastor dagiti akinkukua kadagiti arban.)
whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
6 Ta saankon a kaasian dagiti agnanaed iti daga!”— daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh. “Kitaem! Siak a mismo ti mangiyawat iti tunggal tao iti pannakabalin ti kaarrubana ken arina. Ibadebaddekdanto ti daga. Saankonto nga ispalen ti Juda iti pannakabalinda.”
For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”
7 Isu a nagbalinak a parapastor iti arban a nairanta a maparti, para kadagiti gimmatang ken naglako kadagiti karnero. Nangalaak iti dua a sarukod; pinanaganak ti maysa iti “Parabur” ken ti sabali iti “Panagkaykaysa.” Iti kastoy a wagas ti panangipastorko iti arban.
So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
8 Iti las-ud ti maysa a bulan, pinapanawko dagiti tallo a parapastor. Ket napukawen ti anusko kadagiti akinkukua kadagiti karnero, gapu ta kinaguradak met.
And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
9 Ket kinunak kadagiti akinkukua, “Saanakon nga agtrabaho a kas parapastoryo. Dagiti karnero a matmatay - bay-ak ida a matay; dagiti mapukpukaw a karnero— bay-ak a mapukaw. Bay-ak a kanen dagiti natda a karnero ti lasag ti padada a karnero.”
Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”
10 Isu nga innalak ti sarukodko a “Parabur” ket tinukkolko daytoy a mangwaswas iti katulagan nga inaramidko kadagiti amin a tribuk.
Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, nawaswas ti tulag, ket ammo dagiti aggatgatang ken aglaklako iti karnero ken dagiti mangkitkita kaniak a nagsao ni Yahweh.
It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12 Kinunak kadakuada, “No mayatkayo, itedyo ti tangdanko. Ngem no saan, saanyo nga aramiden daytoy.” Isu a binilangda ti tangdanko—tallopulo a pidaso a pirak.
Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
13 Ket kinuna kaniak ni Yahweh, “Ikabilmo ti pirak iti siled a pagiduldulinan, ti dakkel a gatad nga impagarupda a kapategmo!” Isu nga innalak ti tallopulo a pidaso a pirak ket indulinko iti siled a pagiduldulinan iti balay ni Yahweh.
And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14 Kalpasanna, tinukkolko ti maikadua a sarukodko a “Panagkaykaysa,” a mangdadael iti panagkaykaysa iti nagbaetan ti Juda ken Israel.
Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Alaem manen dagiti alikamen ti maag a parapastor,
And the LORD said to me: “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 ta adtoy, mangdutokakon iti maysa a parapastor iti daga. Saannanto nga aywanan dagiti maparparigat a karnero. Saannanto a biroken dagiti napukaw a karnero, wenno agasan dagiti napilay a karnero. Saannanto a pakanen dagiti nasalun-at a karnero, ngem ketdi, kanenna ti lasag ti napalukmeg a karnero ken uksotennanto dagiti kukoda.
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.
17 Asi pay ti awan serserbina a parapastor a nangbaybay-a iti arban! Umay koma ti kabusorna a mangdangran iti takkiagna ken mangsulek iti makannawan a matana! Mapukaw koma ti pigsa iti takkiagna, ken agbulsekto koma ti makannawan a matana!”
Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”
