1The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
1Sõna, mis Jeremijale tuli Issandalt, kui Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar ja kogu ta sõjavägi, kõik maa kuningriigid, mille üle tema käsi valitses, ja kõik rahvad sõdisid Jeruusalemma ja kõigi selle linnade vastu; ta ütles:
2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
2'Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Mine ja räägi Juuda kuninga Sidkijaga ja ütle temale: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, ma annan selle linna Paabeli kuninga kätte ja tema põletab selle tulega maha.
3And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
3Ka sina ei pääse tema käest, sest sind võetakse tõesti kinni ja antakse tema kätte; sina saad Paabeli kuningat näha silmast silma ja tema räägib sinuga suust suhu ning sa lähed Paabelisse.
4Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
4Kummatigi kuule Issanda sõna, Sidkija, Juuda kuningas! Nõnda ütleb Issand sinu kohta: Sa ei sure mõõga läbi!
5But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
5Sa sured rahus! Ja nõnda nagu su isade, endiste kuningate, kes enne sind on olnud, auks põletati koolnusuitsutusi, nõnda põletatakse sinugi auks, ja sõnadega 'Oh isand!' leinatakse ka sind! Sest mina ise olen öelnud selle sõna, ütleb Issand.'
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
6Ja prohvet Jeremija rääkis Juuda kuningale Sidkijale kõik need sõnad Jeruusalemmas,
7When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
7kui Paabeli kuninga sõjavägi sõdis Jeruusalemma ja kõigi järelejäänud Juuda linnade vastu, Laakise ja Aseka vastu, sest need olid Juuda linnadest, kindlustatud linnadest, järele jäänud.
8This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
8Sõna, mis Jeremijale tuli Issandalt pärast seda, kui kuningas Sidkija oli teinud lepingu kogu Jeruusalemmas oleva rahvaga, et kuulutada neile vabastust:
9That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
9igaüks pidi vabastama oma sulase ja teenija, heebrealase ja heebrealanna, et keegi ei orjaks juuti, oma venda.
10Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
10Ja kõik vürstid ja kogu rahvas, kes olid astunud lepingusse, kuulsid, et igaühel tuleb vabastada oma sulane ja teenija, et neid ei tohi enam orjastada; nad kuulasid sõna ja vabastasid need.
11But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
11Aga hiljem nad taganesid ja võtsid tagasi sulased ja teenijad, keda nad olid vabastanud, ja sundisid neid taas sulaseiks ja teenijaiks.
12Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
12Siis tuli Issandalt Jeremijale Issanda sõna; ta ütles:
13Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
13'Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Mina tegin teie vanematega lepingu päeval, kui ma tõin nad ära Egiptusemaalt, orjusekojast, öeldes:
14At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
14Igal seitsmendal aastal vabastagu igaüks oma heebrealasest vend, kes enese sulle on müünud; kui ta sind on teeninud kuus aastat, siis lase ta enese juurest vabaks; aga teie vanemad ei kuulanud mind ega pööranud oma kõrva.
15And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
15Teie olete küll äsja pöördunud ja teinud, mis minu silmis õige on, kuulutades igaüks oma ligimesele vabastust, ja olete teinud lepingu mu palge ees kojas, millele on pandud minu nimi.
16But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
16Aga te olete jälle taganenud ja teotanud mu nime: olete võtnud tagasi igaüks oma sulase ja teenija, keda te olite vabastanud nende soovi kohaselt, ja olete neid sundinud olema teile sulaseiks ja teenijaiks.
17Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
17Seepärast ütleb Issand nõnda: Te ei ole kuulanud mind, et oleksite kuulutanud vabastust igaüks oma vennale ja ligimesele; vaata, mina kuulutan teile vabastust, ütleb Issand, mõõga, katku ja nälja läbi ja panen teid hirmutuseks kõigile kuningriikidele maa peal.
18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
18Ja mehed, kes rikkusid mu lepingut, kes ei pidanud selle lepingu sõnu, mille nad tegid minu ees, ma teen vasikaks, kelle nad raiusid pooleks ja kelle tükkide vahelt nad käisid läbi -
19The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
19Juuda vürstid ja Jeruusalemma vürstid, hoovkondlased ja preestrid ja kogu maa rahva, kes käisid läbi vasika tükkide vahelt -,
20I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
20ja ma annan nad nende vaenlaste kätte ja nende kätte, kes püüavad nende hinge; ja nende surnukehad jäävad taeva lindude ja maa loomade roaks.
21And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
21Ka Juuda kuninga Sidkija ja tema vürstid annan ma nende vaenlaste kätte ja nende kätte, kes püüavad nende hinge, ja Paabeli kuninga sõjaväe kätte, kes teie kallalt on ära läinud.
22Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
22Vaata, ma käsin, ütleb Issand, ja toon nad tagasi selle linna kallale; nad sõdivad selle vastu, vallutavad selle ja põletavad tulega maha; ja ma teen Juuda linnad lagedaks, kus ükski ei ela.'
