¹The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

¹Issanda sõna, mis tuli prohvet Jeremijale rahvaste kohta:

²Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco 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:

³Prepare 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, put on the coats of mail.

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

⁵Wherefore have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: terror is on every side, saith 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.

⁶Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.

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

⁷Who is this that riseth up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

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

⁸Egypt riseth up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities 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.'

⁹Go up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow.

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

¹⁰For that day is [a day] of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Jehovah 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 daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.

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 the earth is full of thy cry; for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.

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

¹³The word that Jehovah spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how that 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 Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand forth, and prepare thee; for the sword hath devoured 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 strong ones swept away? they stood not, because Jehovah did drive them.

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

¹⁶He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one 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 cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.

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

¹⁸As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like 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 that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.

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

²⁰Egypt is a very fair heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.

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

²¹Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, 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 sound thereof shall go like the 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 Jehovah, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, 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 put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

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

²⁵Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and 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 afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith 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.

²⁷But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet 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 not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; 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 I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee 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.'
