< Zacarias 11 >

1 Lukatam dagiti ruanganmo, O Libano, tapno ikisap ti apuy dagiti kayom a sedro!
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy 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.
Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
3 Aganug-og dagiti parapastor, ta nadadaelen ti nalangto a pagpaarabanda! Agngernger ti urbon a leon, ta nadadaelen ti bakir ti Karayan Jordan!
[There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
4 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Diosko: “Kas iti maysa a parapastor, bantayam dagiti karnero a nairanta a maparti!
Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the 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 possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
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 more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].
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.
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed 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.
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred 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 said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
10 Isu nga innalak ti sarukodko a “Parabur” ket tinukkolko daytoy a mangwaswas iti katulagan nga inaramidko kadagiti amin a tribuk.
And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, nawaswas ti tulag, ket ammo dagiti aggatgatang ken aglaklako iti karnero ken dagiti mangkitkita kaniak a nagsao ni Yahweh.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon 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.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price 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 unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast 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 asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Alaem manen dagiti alikamen ti maag a parapastor,
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments 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, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
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 idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
