¹Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

¹[Ny amin'ny hihavian'ny loza, ary ny hahafoizana ny ondrin'i Jehovah noho ny fandavany Azy, sy ny hanolorana ireny ho amin'ny mpiandry adala,]Vohay ny varavaranao, ry Libanona ô! Handevonan'ny afo ny sederanao

²Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is come down.

²Midradradradra, ry hazo kypreso! Fa efa nianjera ny sedera, Eny, fongotra ireo avo be; Midradradradrà, ianareo ôka any Basana! Fa ripaka ny ala mikirindro

³A voice of howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

³Injay! fidradradradran'ny mpiandry ondry! Fa rava ny voninahiny; Injay! fieron'ny liona tanora! Fa rava ny kirihitrala eny amoron'i Jordana [heb. reharehany]

⁴Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,

⁴Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Andriamanitra: Andraso ny ondry izay hovonoina,

⁵whose possessors slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.

⁵dia 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 [na: izay nividy azy][na: nefa tsy atao ho meloka ireny]

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.

⁶Fa 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.

⁷So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the 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.

⁷Ary 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.

⁸And I destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with them, and their soul also loathed me.

⁸Ary nandringana ny mpiandry ondry telo Aho tamin'ny iray volana, fa tsy nahatsindry fo taminy intsony, sady tofoka Ahy ny fanahiny. [na: telo amin'ireo mpiandry ireo]

⁹And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.

⁹Dia 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.

¹⁰And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

¹⁰Ary noraisiko ny tehiko Fahasoavana ka notapahiko, mba hanafoanako ny fanekena izay efa nataoko tamin'ny firenena rehetra.

¹¹And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that gave heed to me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.

¹¹Ary tapaka tamin'izany andro izany iny, ka dia fantatry ny ondry mahantra, izay nitandrina ny teniko, fa tenin'i Jehovah izany.

¹²And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my hire; and if not, forbear. And they weighed for my hire thirty silver-pieces.

¹²Dia 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.

¹³And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver-pieces, and cast them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.

¹³Ary 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.

¹⁴And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

¹⁴Dia notapahiko koa ilay tehiko anankiray Fikambanana, hanafoanako ny firahalahian'i Joda sy Isiraely.

¹⁵And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

¹⁵Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Alao ho anao koa ny tehin'ny mpiandry ondry adala.

¹⁶For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hoofs in pieces.

¹⁶Fa, 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. [heb. mijoro tsara]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.

¹⁷Woe to the worthless 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 utterly darkened.

¹⁷Lozan'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.
