¹In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying,

¹Kümnendal aastal, kümnenda kuu kaheteistkümnendal päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna, ta ütles:

²`Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt — all of it.

²'Inimesepoeg, pööra oma pale vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga poole ja kuuluta prohvetlikult temale ja kogu Egiptusele!

³Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My flood [is] my own, And I — I have made it [for] myself.

³Räägi ja ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma tulen sulle kallale, vaarao, Egiptuse kuningas - suur krokodill, kes sa lamad jõgede keskel, kes sa ütled: 'Mu Niilus on mu päralt ja mina olen selle enesele teinud.'

⁴And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of thy floods to thy scales doth cleave.

⁴Ma panen su lõuapäradesse haagid ja lasen su jõgede kalad hakata su soomuste külge; ma tõmban jõgede keskelt üles sinu ja kõik su jõgede kalad, kes on hakanud su soomuste külge.

⁵And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food.

⁵Ma viskan su kõrbe, sinu ja kõik su jõgede kalad; sa kukud lagedale maale, sind ei koristata ega maeta, ma annan su roaks metsloomadele ja taeva lindudele.

⁶And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am] Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁶Ja kõik Egiptuse elanikud saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand, sellepärast et nad on olnud pillirookepiks Iisraeli soole:

⁷In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, — thou art crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their thighs to stand.

⁷kui nad käega haarasid sinust kinni, siis sa läksid katki ja rebestasid neil kogu käe; ja kui nad toetusid su peale, siis sa murdusid ja halvasid neil kõigil niuded.

⁸Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and beast.

⁸Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal nõnda: Vaata, ma toon su kallale mõõga ja hävitan sinust inimesed ja loomad,

⁹And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. Because he said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it].

⁹ning Egiptusemaa muutub lagedaks ja varemeiks. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand. Sest ta on öelnud: 'Niiluse jõgi on minu päralt ja mina olen selle teinud.'

¹⁰Therefore, lo, I [am] against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.

¹⁰Seepärast, vaata, ma tulen sinu ja su jõgede kallale ja teen Egiptusemaa varemeiks, kuivaks lagendikuks Migdolist Seveeneni ja kuni Etioopia piirini.

¹¹Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.

¹¹Ei astu seal inimese jalg ega astu seal looma jalg, ja seal ei elata nelikümmend aastat.

¹²And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands.

¹²Ma teen Egiptusemaa lagedaks lagedate maade hulgas ja selle linnad jäävad neljakümneks aastaks laastatuks varemeis linnade hulgas; ja ma pillutan egiptlased rahvaste sekka ning puistan nad laiali mööda maid.

¹³But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,

¹³Sest nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Neljakümne aasta pärast kogun ma egiptlased rahvaste seast, kuhu nad olid pillutatud,

¹⁴And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom.

¹⁴ja ma pööran Egiptuse saatuse ning toon nad tagasi Patrosemaale, nende päritolumaale. Ja seal on nad tähtsuseta kuningriik:

¹⁵Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations.

¹⁵see on kuningriikidest tähtsusetuim ega tõsta ennast enam üle rahvaste; ja ma vähendan neid nõnda, et nad ei valitse enam rahvaste üle.

¹⁶And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.`

¹⁶Nad ei ole enam lootuseks Iisraeli soole, mis meelde tuletaks tema süütegu, kui ta pöörduks nende poole. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand Jumal.'

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:

¹⁷Ja kahekümne seitsmendal aastal, esimese kuu esimesel päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹⁸`Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald — every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it.

¹⁸'Inimesepoeg, Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar on pannud oma sõjaväe tegema rasket tööd Tüürose kallal: kõigil on pead läinud paljaks ja kõigil on õlad hõõrdunud, aga palka ei ole Tüürosest saanud ei tema ega ta sõjavägi töö eest, mida ta selle kallal on teinud.

¹⁹Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it hath been a reward to his force.

¹⁹Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal nõnda: Vaata, ma annan Paabeli kuningale Nebukadnetsarile Egiptusemaa; ta viib ära selle rikkuse, võtab sealt saaki ja riisub, mis riisuda on, ja see saab ta sõjaväele palgaks.

²⁰His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The land of Egypt — in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

²⁰Tasuks töö eest, mida ta selle kallal on teinud, annan ma temale Egiptusemaa, sest nad on teinud seda minu heaks, ütleb Issand Jumal.

²¹In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!`

²¹Sel päeval ma lasen Iisraeli soole kasvada sarve ja annan sinule võime avada oma suu nende keskel. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand.'
