¹The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

¹Ennustus Paabeli kohta, Jesaja, Aamotsi poja poolt nähtud:

²Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

²Tõstke lipp lagedale mäele, hüüdke neile valjusti, viibake käega, et nad läheksid sisse suurte isandate väravaist!

³I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

³Ma olen andnud käsu oma pühitsetuile, olen juba oma vihale appi kutsunud sangarid, kes võivad suurustada minu suurusest.

⁴The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

⁴Kuule! Mägedes on mürin, rahvahulkade kõmin. Kuule! Kuningriikide, kogunenud paganate lärm. Vägede Issand vaatab üle sõjaväge.

⁵They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

⁵Nad tulevad kaugelt maalt, taevarannalt, Issand ja tema sajatuse relvad, hävitama kogu maad.

⁶Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

⁶Ulguge, sest Issanda päev on ligidal, see tuleb kui hävitus Kõigeväeliselt!

⁷Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

⁷Seepärast lõtvuvad kõik käed ja kõik inimsüdamed löövad araks.

⁸And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

⁸Nad kohkuvad. Vaevused ja valud haaravad neid, nad vaevlevad otsekui sünnitaja. Üks vaatab teisele jahmunult otsa, nende palged on tulipunased.

⁹Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

⁹Vaata, Issanda päev tuleb hirmsana, raevu ja tulise vihaga, et tühjendada maa ja hävitada sealt patused.

¹⁰For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

¹⁰Sest taevatähed, nende hulgas Vardatähed, ei kiirga enam valgust, päike on tõustes pime ja kuu ei anna oma valget.

¹¹And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

¹¹Mina tasun ilmamaale ta kurjuse ja õelatele nende süü, mina lõpetan ülbete kõrkuse ja alandan võimutsejate upsakuse.

¹²I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

¹²Mina teen inimesed kallimaks puhtast kullast, inimlapse kallimaks Oofiri kullast.

¹³Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

¹³Seepärast ma panen taevad vankuma ja maa vappub paigast vägede Issanda raevus tema tulise viha päeval.

¹⁴And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

¹⁴Ja otsekui peletatud gasell või kari, keda keegi ei aja kokku, pöördub igaüks oma rahva juurde ja põgeneb igaüks oma maale.

¹⁵Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

¹⁵Kõik, keda leitakse, torgatakse läbi, ja iga põgenik langeb mõõga ees.

¹⁶Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

¹⁶Nende lapsed rebitakse tükkideks nende eneste nähes, nende kojad rüüstatakse, nende naised teotatakse.

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

¹⁷Vaata, ma kihutan nende vastu meedlased, kes ei hooli hõbedast ega himusta kulda.

¹⁸Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

¹⁸Nende ammud purustavad poisse, neil ei ole halastust ihuvilja vastu, laste pärast nende silm ei kurvasta.

¹⁹And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

¹⁹Ja Paabel, kuningriikide ehe, kaldealaste kõrk toredus, saab Soodoma ja Gomorra sarnaseks, mis Jumal segi paiskas.

²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

²⁰Seda ei asustata enam iialgi ega elata seal põlvest põlve; ei löö sinna araablane telki üles ega puhka seal karjased karja.

²¹But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

²¹Vaid seal lebavad kurjad vaimud ja nende kojad on täis öökulle; seal asuvad jaanalinnud ja karglevad sikujalgsed paharetid.

²²And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

²²Ta tornides uluvad kurjad vaimud ja lusthooneis ðaakalid. Tema aeg on liginemas ja tema päevi ei pikendata.
