¹Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your 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

²Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has 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 the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.

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 says Yahweh my God: “Feed the flock of slaughter.

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

⁵Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.

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,” says Yahweh; “but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”

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, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor,” and the other I called “Union,” 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.

⁸I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of 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]

⁹Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”

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.

¹⁰I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that 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.

¹¹It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.

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

¹²I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

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.

¹³Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁴Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

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

¹⁵Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment 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 will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will 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 who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”

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.
