11
1 You Lebanon peopo, open yoa gates,
Fo da fire burn up yoa cedar trees.
2 Cry loud, you cypress trees,
Cuz da cedar trees wen fall down!
Da tall an awesome trees stay all bus up.
Cry loud, you oak trees inside Bashan,
Cuz all da fores stay cut down!
3 Lissen, da sheep guys stay cry loud,
Cuz dea green fields stay wipe out.
Lissen da big noise da young lions make,
Cuz da thick jungle by da Jordan Riva stay all jam up!
Da Sheep Guys
4 Dis wat my God, Da One In Charge, tell:
“Go take kea da sheeps, da ones dey goin kill fo eat. 5 Wen guys buy sheeps, you know, dey goin kill um, an dey no tink dey do someting bad. Da guys dat sell da sheeps tell, ‘Talk good bout Da One In Charge! Cuz now I stay rich!’ Even da guys dat take kea da sheeps, dey no show pity fo da sheeps.”
6 Da One In Charge tell, “Same ting wit me—I no goin show pity fo da peopo dat live inside dis land no moa. You know wat?! I goin let da king an all da oddas grab eryting dey can from erybody. Dey all goin jam up da land. An I no goin get nobody outa trouble from da odda peopos.”
7 So me, Zekariah, I take kea da sheeps dey goin kill fo eat, fo help even da sheeps dat get trouble. Den I take two sticks fo walk, da kine da sheep guys use. I call one stick “I like um,” an call da odda stick “Come togedda.” Dass how I take kea da sheeps. 8 In one month, I throw out three odda guys dat take kea da sheeps. I come tired wit dem, an dey come bum out cuz a me. 9 I tell um, “I no goin take kea you guys sheeps no moa. Da sheeps dat stay die, let um mahke. Da sheeps dat stay come wipe out, let um come wipe out. Da sheeps dat still yet stay alive, dey can eat each odda.”
10 Den I take da stick fo walk dat I call “I like um,” an broke um. Dat show dat da deal I wen make wit all da peopos no stay good no moa. 11 Right den, dat same day, da deal come no good. So da guys dat goin lose money cuz a wat I wen do wit dea sheeps, dey stay watch me. Dey know dat wat I wen do, az was jalike one message from Da One In Charge.
12 ✡✡Den I tell dem, “If you guys figga az good, pay me fo wat I wen do. But if you no figga az good, no pay me.” Cuz a dat dey ony give me thirty silva coins.
13 Den Da One In Charge tell me, “Throw um to da guy dat make clay pots.” Az how plenny silva dey figga I stay worth! So I take da money an throw um inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge fo da guy dat make clay pots. 14 Den I broke my odda stick dat I call “Dey come togedda.” Dat mean, da Judah peopo south side an da Israel peopo no stay braddahs no moa.
15 Den Da One In Charge tell me, “One mo time, go take da kine tings one sheep guy use fo take kea da sheeps, da kine guy dat do bad kine stuff an no bodda him. 16 Cuz I goin put one guy ova da peopo inside da land, dat goin ack jalike one sheep guy, but he no goin kea if da sheeps get lost. He no goin look fo da bebe sheeps, o make da sheeps dat stay hurt come good, o give da good sheeps food. But he goin eat da meat from da bestes sheeps, an even pull off dea hoofs.
17 “Bummahs, fo da sheep guy dat no worth notting!
He bag from da sheeps.
I like fo somebody wack his arm
An his right eye wit one sword!
I like his arm come all any kine,
An he no can see notting wit his right eye.”
