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

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

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

²Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.

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

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 ruined.

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

⁴Thus says Yahweh 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.

⁵Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity 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.'

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says Yahweh; “but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”

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, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor,” and the other I called “Union,” and I fed the flock.

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

⁸I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of 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!'

⁹Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”

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

¹⁰I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

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

¹¹It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.

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.

¹²I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

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.

¹³Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.

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

¹⁴Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

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

¹⁵Yahweh said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment 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 will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who 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.

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 who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
