1That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
1Issanda sõna, mis tuli prohvet Jeremijale rahvaste kohta:
2For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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:
3`Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
3'Seadke valmis kilp ja kaitsevari ning tulge sõtta!
4Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
4Rakendage hobused! Ratsanikud, istuge selga! Asuge kohtadele, kiivrid peas! Haljastage piigid, riietuge soomusrüüdesse!
5Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
5Mis ma näen? Neil on hirm, nad taanduvad? Nende sangarid on löödud, nad põgenevad üha ega vaata tagasi. Hirm on igal pool - ütleb Issand.
6The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
6Ei saa pakku kiire ega pääse vägev; põhja pool, Frati jõe ääres, nad komistavad ja langevad.
7Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
7Kes see on, kes tõuseb nagu Niilus, kelle veed voogavad jõgedena?
8Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
8Egiptus tõuseb nagu Niilus ja ta veed voogavad jõgedena. Ta ütleb: 'Ma tõusen, katan maa. Ma hävitan linna ja selle elanikud.'
9Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.
9Sööstke püsti, hobused, kihutage pööraselt, sõjavankrid! Minge välja, võitlejad: etiooplased ja puudid, kilbikandjad, ja luudid, vilunud ammumehed!
10And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
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 to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
11Mine üles Gileadi ja võta palsamit, neitsi, Egiptuse tütar! Asjata tarvitad palju ravimeid - sinul ei ole paranemist.
12Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!`
12Rahvad kuulevad su häbist ja su hädakisa täidab maa; sest vägev komistab vägeva peale ja üheskoos langevad mõlemad.'
13The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
13Sõna, mis Issand rääkis prohvet Jeremijale Paabeli kuninga Nebukadnetsari tulekust Egiptusemaad lööma:
14`Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
14'Andke teada Egiptuses ja kuulutage Migdolis, kuulutage Noofis ja Tahpanheesis, öelge: Astu ette ja ole valmis, sest mõõk õgib juba su ümber!
15Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
15Miks põgenes Apis? Ei jäänud püsima su härg, sest Issand ajas selle ära.
16He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of 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 have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
17Hüüdke vaaraole, Egiptuse kuningale: Kiidukukk, kes laskis silmapilgu mööda!
18I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
18Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb kuningas, kelle nimi on vägede Issand - tõesti, otsekui Taabor mägede keskel ja Karmel mere ääres - tuleb tema.
19Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
19Sea oma kraam vangiteekonnaks valmis, sina, kes sa seal elad, Egiptuse tütar! Sest Noof muutub õudseks, elaniketa varemeiks.
20A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
20Egiptus on ilus õhvake, aga põhja poolt tuleb parm, tuleb.
21Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
21Palgasõduridki tema keskel on otsekui nuumvasikad; sest needki pöörduvad ja põgenevad üheskoos ega pea vastu, kui neile tuleb õnnetusepäev, nende karistusaeg.
22Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
22Tema hääl on kui vingerdava ussi sisin. Sest nad saabuvad sõjaväega ja tulevad kirvestega tema kallale otsekui puuraiujad.
23They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
23Nad raiuvad maha tema metsa, ütleb Issand, kuigi see on läbitungimatu; sest neid on rohkem kui rohutirtse ja ükski ei suuda neid lugeda.
24Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
24Häbisse jääb Egiptuse tütar, ta antakse põhjamaa rahva kätte.
25Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting 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 have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
27And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
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.
28Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!`
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.'
