¹Sel ajal, ütleb Issand, võetakse Juuda kuningate luud ja tema vürstide luud, preestrite luud ja prohvetite luud ja Jeruusalemma elanike luud nende haudadest välja

¹At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring forth 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;

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.

²and they shall spread them out to the sun and to the moon and to all the host of the heavens, 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 ground.

³Ja surm on elust eelistatum kogu sellele jäägile, kes sellest halvast suguvõsast järele jääb kõigis paigus, kuhu ma pillutan nende jäägi, ütleb vägede Issand.

³And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, in all the places whither I have driven those that remain, saith Jehovah of hosts.

⁴Ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Eks langenu taha üles tõusta? Eks eksinu taha pöörduda tagasi?

⁴And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Do [men] fall, and not rise up? Doth one turn away, and not return?

⁵Mispärast jääb see rahvas, Jeruusalemm, igavesti eksinuks? Nad hoiavad pettusest kinni, nad tõrguvad pöördumast.

⁵Why hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back with a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

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.

⁶I hearkened and heard: they speak not what is right; there is no man who repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Every one turneth to his course, like a horse rushing into the battle.

⁷Isegi toonekurg taeva all teab oma seatud aega, turteltuvi, pääsuke ja rästas peavad kinni oma tulemisajast, aga minu rahvas ei tunne Issanda Seadust.

⁷Even a 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 judgment of Jehovah.

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

⁸How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.

⁹Targad jäävad häbisse, nad ehmuvad ja nad tabatakse. Vaata, nad on põlanud Issanda sõna - mis tarkust võib neil olla?

⁹The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected Jehovah's word; and what wisdom is in them?

¹⁰Sellepärast ma annan nende naised teistele, nende põllud vallutajaile. Sest kõik, niihästi väikesed kui suured, ahnitsevad kasu; kõik, niihästi prohvetid kui preestrid, petavad.

¹⁰Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to those 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.

¹¹Ja mu rahva, mu tütre vigastust ravivad nad pinnapealselt, öeldes: 'Rahu, rahu!', kuigi rahu ei ole.

¹¹And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.

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.

¹²Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, and they know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.

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.

¹³I will utterly take them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree; and the leaf is faded: and I will give them up to those that shall pass over them.

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.'

¹⁴Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced 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.

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

¹⁵Peace is looked for, and there is no good; a time of healing, and behold, terror.

¹⁶Daanist kuuldakse tema hobuste nooskamist, tema täkkude hirnumisest väriseb kogu maa. Nad tulevad ja söövad maa koos kõigega, linna ja selle elanikud.

¹⁶The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: the whole land trembleth at the sound of the neighing of his steeds, and they come, and devour the land, and all it contains, the city and those that dwell therein.

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

¹⁷For behold, I send among you serpents, vipers against which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

¹⁸Mu mure murrab mind, mu süda on haige!

¹⁸My comfort in my sadness! my heart is faint in me!

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?

¹⁹Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people, from a very far country: Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, with foreign vanities?

²⁰'Lõikus on lõppenud, suvi on möödas, aga meid ei ole päästetud!'

²⁰The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

²¹Oma rahva, mu tütre vigastuse pärast olen ma murdunud; ma olen kurb, mind on haaranud hirm.

²¹-- For the breach of the daughter of my people am I crushed; I go mourning; astonishment hath taken hold of me.

²²Kas Gileadis ei ole palsamit või ei ole seal ravijat? Miks ei ole mu tütar, mu rahvas, siis terveks saanud?

²²Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? Why then is there no dressing applied for the healing of the daughter of my people?

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.
