¹At that time, saith Jehovah, 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, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which 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 that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Jehovah 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 Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one 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 repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in 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 heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah.

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 Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely.

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

⁹The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of 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 possess 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.

¹¹And 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 Jehovah.

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 utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: 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 fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.

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 healing, and, behold, dismay!

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

¹⁶The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; 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, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

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

¹⁸Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me.

¹⁸Mu mure murrab mind, mu süda on haige!

¹⁹Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign 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 mourn; dismay 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.
