Hakaraia 11

1 Whakatuwheratia, ou kuwaha, e Repanona, kia kai ai te ahi i ou hita.

Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, And fire doth devour among thy cedars.

2 Aue, e te kauri; kua hinga hoki te hita, kua pahuatia nga mea ataahua; aue, e nga oki o Pahana, kua riro iho hoki te ngahere kahore nei e taea atu!

Howl, O fir, for fallen hath the cedar, For their honourable ones were destroyed, Howl, ye oaks of Bashan, For come down hath the fenced forest,

3 He reo no nga hepara e aue ana; no te mea kua oti to ratou kororia te pahua; he reo no nga kuao raiona e ngengere ana; no te mea kua oti te whakapehapeha o Horano te pahua.

A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For destroyed was their robe of honour, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan.

4 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a toku Atua, Whangaia nga hipi, nga mea e patua ana;

Thus said Jehovah my God: 'Feed the flock of the slaughter,

5 E patua ana hoki e nga tangata nana, te ai he whakahe ake: ko te ki a o ratou kaihoko, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa; kua whiwhi hoki ahau ki te taonga: kahore hoki he manawapa o o ratou hepara ki a ratou.

Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed [is] Jehovah, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.

6 E kore hoki ahau e manawapa ki nga tangata o te whenua a muri ake nei, e ai ta Ihowa: engari na, ka tukua nga tangata ki te ringa o tona hoa, o tona hoa, ki te ringa ano o tona kingi: a ma ratou te whenua e patu; e kore ano ahau e whakaora i a ra tou i roto i o ratou ringa.

For I have pity no more on inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And lo, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbour, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.'

7 Na kei te whangai ahau i nga hipi e patua ana, i nga mea iti ano o te kahui. I tikina ano e ahau etahi tokotoko e rua moku, tapa iho e ahau tetahi ko Ataahua, tetahi tapa iho e ahau, ko nga Paihere; na kei te whangai ahau i nga hipi.

And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, ye afflicted of the flock; and I take to me two staves, the one I have called Pleasantness, and the other I have called Bands, and I feed the flock.

8 He mea hatepe ano naku nga hepara tokotoru i te marama kotahi; i whakarihariha hoki toku wairua ki a ratou, ko o ratou wairua hoki i whakarihariha ki ahau.

And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me.

9 Katahi ahau ka ki atu, E kore koutou e whangaia e ahau: ko te mea mo te mate kia mate, ko te mea e hatepea kia hatepea; kia kai hoki nga toenga i nga kikokiko o tona hoa, o tona hoa.

And I say, 'I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbour.'

10 Na kua mau ahau ki toku tokotoko ki a Ataahua, tapahia putia ana e ahau, he whakatakanga i taku kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki nga iwi katoa.

And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples:

11 Na kua whakataka i taua ra; a mohio tonu iho nga mea iti o te kahui i tatari ki ahau, na Ihowa taua kupu.

and it is broken in that day, and know well do the afflicted of the flock who are observing me, that it [is] a word of Jehovah.

12 I mea ano ahau ki a ratou, Ki te mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro, homai toku utu; ki te kahore, kauaka. Na paunatia mai ana toku utu e ratou, e toru tekau hiriwa.

And I say unto them: 'If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, forbear;' and they weigh out my hire — thirty silverlings.

13 Na ka ki mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Maka atu ki te kaihanga rihi te utu pai i whakaritea moku e ratou. Na ka mau ahau ki nga hiriwa e toru tekau, a maka atu ana e ahau ki te kaihanga rihi i te whare o Ihowa.

And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Cast it unto the potter;' the goodly price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty silverlings, and cast them [to] the house of Jehovah, unto the potter.

14 Katahi ka tapahia putia e ahau te rua o oku tokotoko, ara nga Paihere, kia kore ai te tuakanatanga o Hura ki a Iharaira.

And I cut asunder my second staff, Bands, to break the unity between Judah and Israel.

15 I ki mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, Tikina ano etahi mea a te hepara wairangi mau.

And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Again take to thee the instrument of a foolish shepherd.

16 No te mea, na, ka ara i ahau tetahi hepara i te whenua; e kore ia e tirotiro i nga mea ka motuhia atu, e kore e rapu i nga mea kua marara, e kore e rongoa i te mea he whati tona, e kore ano e whangai i te mea e toitu ana: engari ka kainga e ia t e kikokiko o te mea momona, ko o ratou matikuku titaritaria rawatia e ia.

For lo, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he doth not inspect, The shaken off he doth not seek, And the broken he doth not heal, The standing he doth not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he doth eat, And their hoofs he doth break off.

17 Aue, te mate mo te hepara hauwarea, e whakarere ana i nga hipi! ka pa te hoari ki tona ringa, ki tona kanohi matau: ka memenge rawa tona ringa, ka pouri rawa tona kanohi matau.

Woe [to] the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword [is] on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!'
