¹At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

¹Sel ajal, ütleb Issand, võetakse Juuda kuningate luud ja tema vürstide luud, preestrite luud ja prohvetite luud ja Jeruusalemma elanike luud nende haudadest välja

²And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

²ja laotatakse päikese ja kuu ja kogu taevaväe ette, mida nad armastasid ja mida nad teenisid, mille järel nad käisid ja mille poole nad pöördusid ja mida nad kummardasid; neid ei korjata enam kokku ega maeta, need jäävad maa peale sõnnikuks.

³And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

³Ja surm on elust eelistatum kogu sellele jäägile, kes sellest halvast suguvõsast järele jääb kõigis paigus, kuhu ma pillutan nende jäägi, ütleb vägede Issand.

⁴Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

⁴Ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Eks langenu taha üles tõusta? Eks eksinu taha pöörduda tagasi?

⁵Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

⁵Mispärast jääb see rahvas, Jeruusalemm, igavesti eksinuks? Nad hoiavad pettusest kinni, nad tõrguvad pöördumast.

⁶I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

⁶Ma olen tähele pannud ja kuulnud: nad ei räägi õigust. Keegi neist ei kahetse oma kurjust, et ta mõtleks: 'Mis ma olen teinud!' Igaüks jookseb kiiresti oma teed nagu kihutav hobune lahingus.

⁷Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

⁷Isegi toonekurg taeva all teab oma seatud aega, turteltuvi, pääsuke ja rästas peavad kinni oma tulemisajast, aga minu rahvas ei tunne Issanda Seadust.

⁸How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

⁸Kuidas te võite öelda: 'Me oleme targad ja meil on Issanda Seadus'? Tõesti, vaata, kirjatundjate valesulg on teinud selle valeks.

⁹The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

⁹Targad jäävad häbisse, nad ehmuvad ja nad tabatakse. Vaata, nad on põlanud Issanda sõna - mis tarkust võib neil olla?

¹⁰Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

¹⁰Sellepärast ma annan nende naised teistele, nende põllud vallutajaile. Sest kõik, niihästi väikesed kui suured, ahnitsevad kasu; kõik, niihästi prohvetid kui preestrid, petavad.

¹¹For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

¹¹Ja mu rahva, mu tütre vigastust ravivad nad pinnapealselt, öeldes: 'Rahu, rahu!', kuigi rahu ei ole.

¹²Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

¹²Kas nad häbenevad, et nad on teinud jäledust? Ei, nad ei häbene sugugi ega tunne piinlikkust. Seepärast nad langevad langejate hulgas, oma karistusajal nad komistavad, ütleb Issand.

¹³I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

¹³Ma nopin nad ära sootuks, ütleb Issand. Ei jää viinamarju viinapuule ega viigimarju viigipuule ja lehed närtsivad. Ja mis ma neile olen andnud, läheb neist mööda.

¹⁴Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.

¹⁴'Miks me siin istume? Kogunegem ja mingem kindlustatud linnadesse ning vaikigem seal, sest Issand, meie Jumal, teeb meid vaikseks ja joodab mürgiveega, sest me oleme pattu teinud Issanda vastu.'

¹⁵We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

¹⁵Oodatakse rahu, aga head ei ole, paranemisaega, aga vaata, on kohkumus.

¹⁶The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

¹⁶Daanist kuuldakse tema hobuste nooskamist, tema täkkude hirnumisest väriseb kogu maa. Nad tulevad ja söövad maa koos kõigega, linna ja selle elanikud.

¹⁷For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Sest vaata, ma läkitan teie sekka madusid, mürkmadusid, kellesse ei mõju lausumine, ja need salvavad teid, ütleb Issand.

¹⁸When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

¹⁸Mu mure murrab mind, mu süda on haige!

¹⁹Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

¹⁹Vaata, mu tütre, mu rahva appihüüd kaugelt maalt: 'Kas Issand ei ole Siionis või ei ole seal selle kuningas?' Miks nad mind on ärritanud oma nikerdatud kujudega, võõraste ebajumalatega?

²⁰The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

²⁰'Lõikus on lõppenud, suvi on möödas, aga meid ei ole päästetud!'

²¹For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

²¹Oma rahva, mu tütre vigastuse pärast olen ma murdunud; ma olen kurb, mind on haaranud hirm.

²²Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

²²Kas Gileadis ei ole palsamit või ei ole seal ravijat? Miks ei ole mu tütar, mu rahvas, siis terveks saanud?

²³Kes annaks, et mu peas oleks vett ja mu silmad oleksid pisarate allikad? Siis ma nutaksin päevad ja ööd oma tütre, oma rahva mahalöödute pärast.
