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

¹Issanda sõna, mis tuli prohvet Jeremijale rahvaste kohta:

²Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the 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:

³Make ready buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!

³'Seadke valmis kilp ja kaitsevari ning tulge sõtta!

⁴Harness the horses, and mount ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets; polish the spears, put on the coats of mail!

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

⁵Why do I see them dismayed, turned away back? And their mighty ones are beaten down, and take to flight, 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, neither let the mighty man escape! -- Toward the north, hard by the river Euphrates, they have 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 as the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

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

⁸It is Egypt that riseth up as 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 the city 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 drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Phut that handle the shield, and the Ludim that handle the bow [and] bend it.

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

¹⁰For this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may be avenged of his adversaries; and the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with 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 to Gilead, and fetch balm, O virgin-daughter of Egypt! In vain shalt thou multiply remedies: 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 thy cry hath filled the earth; for the mighty man stumbleth against the mighty, they are both fallen together.

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

¹³The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt:

¹³Sõna, mis Issand rääkis prohvet Jeremijale Paabeli kuninga Nebukadnetsari tulekust Egiptusemaad lööma:

¹⁴Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword devoureth 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 valiants swept away? They stood not, for Jehovah did thrust them down.

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

¹⁶He made many to stumble, yea, one fell upon another; and they said, Arise, and let us return 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!'

¹⁷There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go by.

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

¹⁸[As] I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as 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.

¹⁹Thou, inhabitress, daughter of Egypt, furnish for thyself a captive's baggage, for Noph shall be a desolation and shall be ruined, so that none shall dwell therein.

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

²⁰Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north.

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

²¹Also her hired men in the midst of her are like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have 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.

²²Her voice shall go like a serpent's; 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 be impenetrable; for 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 is put to shame; she is 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, and her gods, and her kings; yea, Pharaoh and them that confide 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 give them into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; but 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 thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, neither be dismayed, Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest 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 thou not, my servant Jacob, 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 with judgment, and I will not hold thee altogether guiltless.

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.'
