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

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

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

²Howl, cypress, for the cedar is fallen; because the noble ones are spoiled. Howl, ye oaks of Bashan; for the strong forest is come down.

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

³A voice of howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

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

⁴Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter,

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.

⁵whose possessors slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.

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.'

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

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

⁷So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly 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.

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

⁸And I destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with them, and their soul also loathed me.

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

⁹And I said, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

¹⁴And I cut asunder mine other staff, Bands, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

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

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

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.

¹⁶For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are about to perish, neither shall seek that which is strayed away, nor heal that which is wounded, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hoofs in pieces.

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

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 utterly darkened.
