¹The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

¹Ennustus Paabeli kohta, Jesaja, Aamotsi poja poolt nähtud:

²Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

²Tõstke lipp lagedale mäele, hüüdke neile valjusti, viibake käega, et nad läheksid sisse suurte isandate väravaist!

³I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones.

³Ma olen andnud käsu oma pühitsetuile, olen juba oma vihale appi kutsunud sangarid, kes võivad suurustada minu suurusest.

⁴The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle.

⁴Kuule! Mägedes on mürin, rahvahulkade kõmin. Kuule! Kuningriikide, kogunenud paganate lärm. Vägede Issand vaatab üle sõjaväge.

⁵They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

⁵Nad tulevad kaugelt maalt, taevarannalt, Issand ja tema sajatuse relvad, hävitama kogu maad.

⁶Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

⁶Ulguge, sest Issanda päev on ligidal, see tuleb kui hävitus Kõigeväeliselt!

⁷Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:

⁷Seepärast lõtvuvad kõik käed ja kõik inimsüdamed löövad araks.

⁸and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame.

⁸Nad kohkuvad. Vaevused ja valud haaravad neid, nad vaevlevad otsekui sünnitaja. Üks vaatab teisele jahmunult otsa, nende palged on tulipunased.

⁹Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

⁹Vaata, Issanda päev tuleb hirmsana, raevu ja tulise vihaga, et tühjendada maa ja hävitada sealt patused.

¹⁰For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.

¹⁰Sest taevatähed, nende hulgas Vardatähed, ei kiirga enam valgust, päike on tõustes pime ja kuu ei anna oma valget.

¹¹And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

¹¹Mina tasun ilmamaale ta kurjuse ja õelatele nende süü, mina lõpetan ülbete kõrkuse ja alandan võimutsejate upsakuse.

¹²I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.

¹²Mina teen inimesed kallimaks puhtast kullast, inimlapse kallimaks Oofiri kullast.

¹³Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

¹³Seepärast ma panen taevad vankuma ja maa vappub paigast vägede Issanda raevus tema tulise viha päeval.

¹⁴And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.

¹⁴Ja otsekui peletatud gasell või kari, keda keegi ei aja kokku, pöördub igaüks oma rahva juurde ja põgeneb igaüks oma maale.

¹⁵Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.

¹⁵Kõik, keda leitakse, torgatakse läbi, ja iga põgenik langeb mõõga ees.

¹⁶Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished.

¹⁶Nende lapsed rebitakse tükkideks nende eneste nähes, nende kojad rüüstatakse, nende naised teotatakse.

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

¹⁷Vaata, ma kihutan nende vastu meedlased, kes ei hooli hõbedast ega himusta kulda.

¹⁸And [their] bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

¹⁸Nende ammud purustavad poisse, neil ei ole halastust ihuvilja vastu, laste pärast nende silm ei kurvasta.

¹⁹And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

¹⁹Ja Paabel, kuningriikide ehe, kaldealaste kõrk toredus, saab Soodoma ja Gomorra sarnaseks, mis Jumal segi paiskas.

²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.

²⁰Seda ei asustata enam iialgi ega elata seal põlvest põlve; ei löö sinna araablane telki üles ega puhka seal karjased karja.

²¹But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.

²¹Vaid seal lebavad kurjad vaimud ja nende kojad on täis öökulle; seal asuvad jaanalinnud ja karglevad sikujalgsed paharetid.

²²And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

²²Ta tornides uluvad kurjad vaimud ja lusthooneis ðaakalid. Tema aeg on liginemas ja tema päevi ei pikendata.
