¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

¹Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

²`Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

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?

³The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.

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

⁴The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.

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 are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.

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

⁶Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

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, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

⁷Seepärast, karjased, kuulge Issanda sõna:

⁸I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.

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 shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

⁹kuulge seepärast, karjased, Issanda sõna:

¹⁰Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I — even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

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

¹²As a shepherd`s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

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 brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

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.

¹⁴With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on 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 feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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

¹⁶The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it 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 you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.

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

¹⁸Is it a little thing for you — the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,

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 My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?

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

²⁰Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I — even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.

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

²¹Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,

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

²²And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

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

²³And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them — my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

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

²⁴And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

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

²⁵And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.

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

²⁶And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.

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

²⁷And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on 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 are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

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

²⁹And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.

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

³⁰And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with them, And they — the house of Israel — My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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, Men ye [are] — I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!`

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