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

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

2 H owl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen because the magnificent are cut down; howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong mountain is brought down.

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!

3 T here is a voice of the howling of the pastors; for their magnificence is destroyed; a voice of the roaring of young lions, for the pride of the Jordan is destroyed.

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.

4 ¶ Thus hath the LORD my God said, Feed the flock of the slaughter,

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

5 w hose buyers slayed them and held themselves not guilty; and he that sold them said, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and not even their own shepherds had compassion on them.

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.

6 T herefore I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD; but, behold, I will deliver the men each one into his neighbour’s hand and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver them out of their hands.

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.

7 A nd I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. For I took unto me two staves: the one I named Beauty, and the other Bands; and I fed the flock.

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.

8 I also cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul was in anguish for them, and their soul also abhorred me.

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.

9 T hen I said, I will not feed you any longer; the one that dies, let it die; and the one that is to be lost, let it be lost; and let the rest eat each one the flesh of another.

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.

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

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.

11 A nd it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that look unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

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

12 A nd I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my wages; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

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.

13 A nd the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the treasury: a goodly price that I was appraised at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them in the house of the LORD unto the treasury.

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.

14 T hen I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

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

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

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

16 F or, behold, I raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that are lost, neither shall seek the young one nor heal the one that is broken nor carry the one that is tired, but he shall eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hoofs in pieces.

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.

17 W oe to the useless pastor that leaves the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye; his arm shall be completely dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

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.
