¹And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

¹Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

²Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

²'Inimesepoeg, kuuluta prohvetlikult Iisraeli karjastele, kuuluta prohvetlikult ja ütle neile karjastele: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Häda Iisraeli karjastele, kes karjatavad iseendid! Kas karjased ei peaks karjatama lambaid?

³Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

³Te joote piima, katate endid villaga, tapate nuumloomi, aga lambaid te ei karjata.

⁴The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

⁴Te ei kinnita nõtra, ei ravi haiget, ei seo haavatut, ei too tagasi eksinut ega otsi kadunut, vaid valitsete neid valjuse ja vägivallaga.

⁵And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

⁵Ja nad on laiali pillatud, sest ei ole karjast; et nad on laiali pillatud, siis on nad saanud roaks kõigile metsloomadele.

⁶My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

⁶Minu lambad ekslevad kõigil mägedel ja igal kõrgel künkal; üle kogu maa on mu lambad laiali pillatud ja ükski ei küsi ega otsi neid.

⁷Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

⁷Seepärast, karjased, kuulge Issanda sõna:

⁸As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

⁸Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb Issand Jumal, tõesti, kuna mu lambaid riisutakse ja kuna mu lambad on roaks kõigile metsloomadele, sellepärast et ei ole karjast, ja kuna mu karjased ei hooli mu lammastest, vaid karjatavad iseendid, mitte minu lambaid,

⁹Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

⁹kuulge seepärast, karjased, Issanda sõna:

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

¹⁰Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma hakkan kimbutama karjaseid ja nõuan neilt oma lambaid ning teen lõpu nende lammaste karjatamisele, et karjased ei saaks enam karjatada iseendid. Ma päästan oma lambad nende suust ja need ei jää neile roaks.

¹¹For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

¹¹Sest nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, mina ise otsin oma lambaid ja hoolitsen nende eest.

¹²As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

¹²Otsekui karjane tunneb muret oma karja pärast, siis kui ta on oma laialipillatud lammaste keskel, nõnda tunnen mina muret oma lammaste pärast ja päästan need kõigist paigust, kuhu nad on pillutatud pilvisel ja pimedal päeval.

¹³And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

¹³Ma viin nad välja rahvaste hulgast, kogun neid maadest ja toon nad nende oma maale; ja ma karjatan neid Iisraeli mägedel, veeojade ääres ja kõigis maa asustatud paigus.

¹⁴I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

¹⁴Heal karjamaal karjatan ma neid ja Iisraeli kõrgetel mägedel on nende söödamaa; seal lebavad nad heal söödamaal ja käivad karjas rammusal karjamaal, Iisraeli mägedel.

¹⁵I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁵Mina ise hoian oma lambaid ja mina viin nad hingama, ütleb Issand Jumal.

¹⁶I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

¹⁶Ma otsin kadunut ja toon tagasi eksinu, ma seon haavatut ja kinnitan nõtra; aga lihava ja tugeva ma hävitan. Ma karjatan neid, nagu on õige.

¹⁷And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

¹⁷Aga teie, mu lambad, nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal, vaadake, ma mõistan kohut lamba ja lamba vahel, jäärade ja sikkude vahel.

¹⁸Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

¹⁸Ons teil veel vähe heal karjamaal söömisest, et peate jalgadega tallama, mis teie karjamaast on järele jäänud? Ja selge vee joomisest, et peate jalgadega tegema ülejäägi sogaseks?

¹⁹And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

¹⁹Ja minu lambad peaksid sööma, mida teie olete jalgadega tallanud, ja jooma, mida teie olete jalgadega sogaseks teinud?

²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

²⁰Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal neile nõnda: Vaata, mina ise mõistan kohut lihava lamba ja lahja lamba vahel.

²¹Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

²¹Et te külje ja õlaga lükkate ning sarvedega puskate kõiki nõtru, kuni te olete need välja tõuganud,

²²Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

²²siis ma tahan oma lambad päästa, et nad enam ei oleks saagiks, ja ma mõistan kohut lamba ja lamba vahel.

²³And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²³Ja ma panen neile üheainsa karjase, kes karjatab neid, oma sulase Taaveti. Tema hakkab neid karjatama ja on neile karjaseks.

²⁴And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

²⁴Ja mina, Issand, olen neile Jumalaks, ja mu sulane Taavet on vürst nende keskel. Mina, Issand, olen rääkinud.

²⁵And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

²⁵Ja ma teen nendega rahulepingu ning lõpetan maalt kurjad metsloomad, et nad võiksid kõrbes julgesti elada ja metsades magada.

²⁶And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

²⁶Ja ma annan neile ja sellele, mis on ümber mu künka, õnnistuse, ja ma lasen vihma sadada omal ajal: need on õnnistuse vihmad.

²⁷And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

²⁷Ja puu väljal kannab vilja ja maa annab saaki, ja nad võivad olla julged oma maal. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand, kui ma murran katki nende ikkepuud ja päästan nad orjastajate käest.

²⁸And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

²⁸Ja nad ei ole enam paganaile saagiks ega söö neid metsloomad, vaid nad võivad elada julgesti, ilma et keegi neid peletaks.

²⁹And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

²⁹Ja ma lasen neile tõusta istanduse, mis saab kuulsaks, ja neid ei võta enam nälg maal ega pea nad kandma paganate teotust.

³⁰Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.

³⁰Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina, Issand, nende Jumal, olen nendega ja et nemad, Iisraeli sugu, on mu rahvas, ütleb Issand Jumal.

³¹And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.

³¹Ja teie olete mu lambad, mu karjamaa kari, teie, inimesed. Mina olen teie Jumal, ütleb Issand Jumal.'
