Zacarias 11

1 Lukatam dagiti ruanganmo, O Libano, tapno ikisap ti apuy dagiti kayom a sedro!

Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour 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, pine-tree, for the cedar is fallen. Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has fallen.

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! Their glory is destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions! Blasted is the thick forest of the Jordan.

4 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Diosko: “Kas iti maysa a parapastor, bantayam dagiti karnero a nairanta a maparti!

The Lord said to me: shepherd the flock destined 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 possessors slaughter them, and hold themselves not guilty! The people who sell them say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich! And their own shepherds have no compassion for 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.”

I will no longer have pity on the people of this earth, says the Lord. I will turn neighbour against neighbour, and put everyone under the power of a king, and when the land is devastated I will not rescue 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.

So I shepherded the flock of slaughter for the sheep-merchants. I took two staffs: one I called Mercy and the other I called Union. So I shepherded the sheep.

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.

I set aside three of the shepherds in one month; for I was indignant against them, and they also were displeased at 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.”

I said, I will not shepherd you. What is dead, let it die. What is set aside, let it be set aside. And let those who are left 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.

And I took my staff, Mercy, and broke it, so as to break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, nawaswas ti tulag, ket ammo dagiti aggatgatang ken aglaklako iti karnero ken dagiti mangkitkita kaniak a nagsao ni Yahweh.

In that day it was broken, and the sheep-merchants who watched me knew that it was the Lord’s message.

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 to them, ‘If it is good in your sight, give me my wage. If not, don’t.’ So they weighed out my wage, 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, Cast it into the treasury – the precious wage that at which I was valued by them! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the house of the Lord, into the treasury.

14 Kalpasanna, tinukkolko ti maikadua a sarukodko a “Panagkaykaysa,” a mangdadael iti panagkaykaysa iti nagbaetan ti Juda ken Israel.

Then I broke my second staff called Union so as to dissolve the brotherhood between Judah and Jerusalem.

15 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Alaem manen dagiti alikamen ti maag a parapastor,

And the Lord said to me: Take again the implements of a worthless 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 I am about to appoint a shepherd over the land. Those who are thrust down he will not visit. Those who are scattered he will not seek out. The wounded he will not heal, the sick he will not make whole, but the flesh of the fat he will devour and even their hoofs he will tear.

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 my worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye. May his arm completely wither. And his right eye be blinded.
