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

¹Ava oma uksed, Liibanon, et tuli saaks põletada su seedrid!

²Wail, O fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are destroyed: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down.

²Ulu, küpress, sest seeder on langenud, võimsad on laastatud! Ulguge, Baasani tammed, sest läbipääsmatu mets on langetatud.

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 laid waste.

³Kuule! Karjaste hädakisa, sest nende kuulsus on hävitatud. Kuule! See on noorte lõvide möirgamine, sest Jordani padrik on laastatud.

⁴Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;

⁴Nõnda ütleb Issand, mu Jumal: 'Karjata tapalambaid,

⁵whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.

⁵keda nende ostjad tapavad, tundmata end süüdlastena, ja kelle müüjad ütlevad: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, et ma olen saanud rikkaks!' - ja kellele nende karjased ei anna armu.

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.

⁶Sest mina ei anna enam armu maa elanikele, ütleb Issand. Vaata, ma lasen iga inimese sattuda tema karjase ja kuninga kätte ja need hävitavad maa, aga mina ei päästa kedagi nende käest.'

⁷So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

⁷Nõnda ma siis karjatasin tapalambaid lambakaupmeestele ja võtsin enesele kaks keppi: ühte ma nimetasin Lahkuseks ja teist ma nimetasin Ühenduseks; ja ma karjatasin lambaid.

⁸And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

⁸Aga ma kõrvaldasin ühe kuu jooksul kolm karjast; siis tüdis mu hing neist ja minagi olin neile vastumeelt.

⁹Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are left eat every one the flesh of another.

⁹Ja ma ütlesin: 'Mina ei taha teid karjatada! Kes sureb, see surgu, kes hukkub, see hukkugu, ja järelejääjad söögu üksteise liha!'

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

¹⁰Ja ma võtsin oma kepi Lahkuse ning murdsin selle katki, tühistades oma lepingu, mille ma olin teinud kõigi rahvastega.

¹¹And it was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.

¹¹See tühistus selsamal päeval ja lambakaupmehed, kes panid mind tähele, mõistsid, et see oli Issanda sõna.

¹²And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty [pieces] of silver.

¹²Siis ma ütlesin neile: 'Kui see teie silmis hea on, siis andke mu palk; aga kui mitte, siis laske olla!' - ja nad vaagisid mu palga: kolmkümmend hõbeseeklit.

¹³And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah.

¹³Ja Issand ütles mulle: 'Viska see potissepale!' See suurepärane hind, millega nad mind olid hinnanud! Ja ma võtsin need kolmkümmend hõbeseeklit ja viskasin potissepale Issanda kojas.

¹⁴Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

¹⁴Siis ma murdsin katki oma teise kepi, Ühenduse, et tühistada vendlust Juuda ja Iisraeli vahel.

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

¹⁵Siis ütles Issand mulle: 'Võta enesele veel kord meeletu karjase varustus!

¹⁶For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those that are cut off, neither will seek those that 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.

¹⁶Sest vaata, ma lasen tõusta maale ühe karjase: ta ei tunne puudust hukkunust, ta ei otsi kadunut, ta ei ravi haavatut, ta ei hoolitse terve eest, aga ta sööb lihavate liha ja rebib ära nende sõrad.

¹⁷Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

¹⁷Häda nurjatule karjasele, kes jätab lambad maha! Mõõk temale käsivarde ja paremasse silma! Ta käsivars kuivagu hoopis ja ta parem silm kustugu koguni!'
