¹The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

¹Issanda sõna, mis tuli prohvet Jeremijale rahvaste kohta:

²Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.

²Egiptuse kohta - Egiptuse kuninga, vaarao Neko sõjaväe kohta, kes oli Frati jõe ääres Karkemises, keda Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar lõi Juuda kuninga Joojakimi, Joosija poja neljandal aastal:

³Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

³'Seadke valmis kilp ja kaitsevari ning tulge sõtta!

⁴Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.

⁴Rakendage hobused! Ratsanikud, istuge selga! Asuge kohtadele, kiivrid peas! Haljastage piigid, riietuge soomusrüüdesse!

⁵Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.

⁵Mis ma näen? Neil on hirm, nad taanduvad? Nende sangarid on löödud, nad põgenevad üha ega vaata tagasi. Hirm on igal pool - ütleb Issand.

⁶Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

⁶Ei saa pakku kiire ega pääse vägev; põhja pool, Frati jõe ääres, nad komistavad ja langevad.

⁷Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

⁷Kes see on, kes tõuseb nagu Niilus, kelle veed voogavad jõgedena?

⁸Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

⁸Egiptus tõuseb nagu Niilus ja ta veed voogavad jõgedena. Ta ütleb: 'Ma tõusen, katan maa. Ma hävitan linna ja selle elanikud.'

⁹Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

⁹Sööstke püsti, hobused, kihutage pööraselt, sõjavankrid! Minge välja, võitlejad: etiooplased ja puudid, kilbikandjad, ja luudid, vilunud ammumehed!

¹⁰For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

¹⁰See päev on Issandal, vägede Issandal, kättemaksupäev oma vaenlastele tasumiseks. Mõõk sööb, küllastub ja joobub nende verest; sest Issandal, vägede Issandal, on tapaohver põhjamaal Frati jõe ääres.

¹¹Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

¹¹Mine üles Gileadi ja võta palsamit, neitsi, Egiptuse tütar! Asjata tarvitad palju ravimeid - sinul ei ole paranemist.

¹²The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

¹²Rahvad kuulevad su häbist ja su hädakisa täidab maa; sest vägev komistab vägeva peale ja üheskoos langevad mõlemad.'

¹³The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.

¹³Sõna, mis Issand rääkis prohvet Jeremijale Paabeli kuninga Nebukadnetsari tulekust Egiptusemaad lööma:

¹⁴Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.

¹⁴'Andke teada Egiptuses ja kuulutage Migdolis, kuulutage Noofis ja Tahpanheesis, öelge: Astu ette ja ole valmis, sest mõõk õgib juba su ümber!

¹⁵Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.

¹⁵Miks põgenes Apis? Ei jäänud püsima su härg, sest Issand ajas selle ära.

¹⁶He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

¹⁶Ta pani komistama paljusid, kes ka langesid üksteise peale ja ütlesid: 'Tõuskem ja mingem tagasi oma rahva juurde ja oma sünnimaale, kaugele hävitava mõõga eest!'

¹⁷They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

¹⁷Hüüdke vaaraole, Egiptuse kuningale: Kiidukukk, kes laskis silmapilgu mööda!

¹⁸As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

¹⁸Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb kuningas, kelle nimi on vägede Issand - tõesti, otsekui Taabor mägede keskel ja Karmel mere ääres - tuleb tema.

¹⁹O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.

¹⁹Sea oma kraam vangiteekonnaks valmis, sina, kes sa seal elad, Egiptuse tütar! Sest Noof muutub õudseks, elaniketa varemeiks.

²⁰Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.

²⁰Egiptus on ilus õhvake, aga põhja poolt tuleb parm, tuleb.

²¹Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

²¹Palgasõduridki tema keskel on otsekui nuumvasikad; sest needki pöörduvad ja põgenevad üheskoos ega pea vastu, kui neile tuleb õnnetusepäev, nende karistusaeg.

²²The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

²²Tema hääl on kui vingerdava ussi sisin. Sest nad saabuvad sõjaväega ja tulevad kirvestega tema kallale otsekui puuraiujad.

²³They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

²³Nad raiuvad maha tema metsa, ütleb Issand, kuigi see on läbitungimatu; sest neid on rohkem kui rohutirtse ja ükski ei suuda neid lugeda.

²⁴The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

²⁴Häbisse jääb Egiptuse tütar, ta antakse põhjamaa rahva kätte.

²⁵The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:

²⁵Vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, on öelnud: Vaata, ma karistan Noo Aamonit, ja vaaraod, Egiptust ning selle jumalaid ja kuningaid, vaaraod ja neid, kes loodavad tema peale.

²⁶And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

²⁶Ja ma annan nad nende kätte, kes püüavad nende elu, Paabeli kuninga Nebukadnetsari ja tema sulaste kätte. Aga pärast seda elatakse seal nagu muistseil päevil, ütleb Issand.

²⁷But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

²⁷Aga sina, mu sulane Jaakob, ära karda, ja Iisrael, ära ehmu! Sest vaata, ma päästan sind kaugelt ja sinu soo tema vangipõlvemaalt. Jaakob tuleb tagasi ning elab rahus ja muretult, ilma et keegi teda hirmutaks.

²⁸Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

²⁸Sina, mu sulane Jaakob, ära karda, ütleb Issand, sest mina olen sinuga. Sest ma teen lõpu kõigile rahvaile, kelle sekka ma olen sind pillutanud; aga sinule ma ei tee lõppu: ma karistan sind õiglaselt, aga hoopis karistamata ma sind küll ei jäta.'
