¹Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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?

²Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?

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

³You eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you don’t feed the sheep.

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

⁴You haven’t strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.

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

⁵They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.

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

⁶My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought.

⁷Seepärast, karjased, kuulge Issanda sõna:

⁷Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

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,

⁸As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep;

⁹kuulge seepärast, karjased, Issanda sõna:

⁹therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:

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.

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

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

¹¹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

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.

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

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.

¹³I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

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

¹⁴I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.

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

¹⁵I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord Yahweh.

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.

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

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

¹⁷As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

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?

¹⁸Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?

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

¹⁹As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

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

²⁰Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

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

²¹Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;

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

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

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

²³I 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.

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

²⁴I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

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

²⁵I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

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

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

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.

²⁷The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.

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

²⁸They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

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

²⁹I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.

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

³⁰They shall know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.

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

³¹You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord Yahweh.
