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

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

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

²Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain, raise the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.

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

³I have commanded my hallowed ones, I have also called my mighty men for mine anger, them that rejoice in my highness.

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

⁴The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

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

⁵They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens -- Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation -- to destroy the whole land.

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

⁶Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.

⁷Seepärast lõtvuvad kõik käed ja kõik inimsüdamed löövad araks.

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

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

⁸and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.

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

⁹Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

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

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

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

¹¹And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent.

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

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

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

¹³Therefore I will make the heavens to shake, and the earth shall be removed out of her place, at the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

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

¹⁴And it shall be as with a chased roe, and as with a flock that no man gathereth together; every one shall turn to his own people, and every one flee into his own land.

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

¹⁵All that are found shall be thrust through; and every one that is in league [with them] shall fall by the sword.

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

¹⁶And their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes, their houses shall be rifled, and their women ravished.

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

¹⁷Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who do not regard silver, and as for gold, they have no delight in it.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in, even to generation and generation; nor shall Arabian pitch tent there, nor shepherds make fold there.

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

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

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

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