¹Ja seitsmendal aastal, viienda kuu kümnendal päeval tuli mehi Iisraeli vanemaist Issandalt nõu küsima, ja nad istusid mu ees.

¹It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me.

²Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

²The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

³'Inimesepoeg, räägi Iisraeli vanematega ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Te olete tulnud minult nõu küsima. Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ei luba ma teid minult nõu küsida, ütleb Issand Jumal.

³Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you.

⁴Kas sa ei mõistaks neid hukka, kas sa ei mõistaks hukka, inimesepoeg? Tee neile teatavaks nende vanemate jäledused

⁴Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;

⁵ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Sel päeval, kui ma valisin Iisraeli, tõstsin ma oma käe üles, vandudes Jaakobi soo seemnele ja tehes ennast neile tuttavaks Egiptusemaal; ma tõstsin oma käe üles neile vandudes ja öeldes: Mina olen Issand, teie Jumal.

⁵and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yahweh your God;

⁶Sel päeval tõstsin ma oma käe üles, vandudes neile, et ma viin nad Egiptusemaalt maale, mille ma nende jaoks olin välja vaadanud, mis voolab piima ja mett, mis on ilusaim kõigist maadest.

⁶in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

⁷Ja ma ütlesin neile: Igaüks heitku ära oma silma ees olevad põlastusväärsed kujud ja ärge rüvetage endid Egiptuse ebajumalatega: mina olen Issand, teie Jumal!

⁷I said to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.

⁸Aga nad hakkasid mulle vastu ega tahtnud mind kuulata; ükski ei heitnud ära oma silma ees olevaid põlastusväärseid kujusid ega jätnud maha Egiptuse ebajumalaid. Siis ma mõtlesin valada nende peale oma tulise viha, et vaigistada nende kallal oma viha juba Egiptusemaal.

⁸But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn’t throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

⁹Aga ma talitsesin end oma nime pärast, et seda ei teotataks paganate hulgas, kelle keskel nad olid, kelle silme ees ma olin ennast neile tutvustanud, viies nad Egiptusemaalt välja.

⁹But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰Ma tõin nad välja Egiptusemaalt ja viisin nad kõrbe.

¹⁰So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

¹¹Ma andsin neile oma määrused ja õpetasin neid tundma oma seadusi, mida inimene peab täitma, et ta nende varal võiks elada.

¹¹I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.

¹²Ja ma andsin neile ka oma hingamispäevad kui leppemärgi minu ja nende vahel, et nad teaksid, et mina olen Issand, kes neid pühitseb.

¹²Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

¹³Aga kõrbes hakkas Iisraeli sugu mulle vastu: nad ei käinud mu määruste järgi ja hülgasid mu seadused, mida inimene peab täitma, et ta nende varal võiks elada; ja nad teotasid väga mu hingamispäevi. Siis ma mõtlesin valada oma tulise viha nende peale kõrbes, et teha neile lõpp.

¹³But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

¹⁴Aga ma talitsesin end oma nime pärast, et seda ei teotataks paganate hulgas, kelle nähes ma olin nad Egiptusest välja toonud.

¹⁴But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁵Siis tõstsin ma ka kõrbes oma käe üles neile vandudes, et ma ei vii neid maale, mille ma olin neile andnud, mis voolab piima ja mett, mis on ilusaim kõigist maadest,

¹⁵Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

¹⁶sellepärast et nad hülgasid mu seadused ega käinud mu määruste järgi, vaid teotasid mu hingamispäevi, sest nende süda käis nende ebajumalate järel.

¹⁶because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

¹⁷Aga mu silm andis neile armu, nõnda et ma ei hävitanud neid kõrbes ega teinud neile lõppu.

¹⁷Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

¹⁸Ja ma ütlesin kõrbes nende lastele: Ärge käige oma vanemate määruste järgi, ärge pidage nende seadusi ja ärge rüvetage endid nende ebajumalatega!

¹⁸I said to their children in the wilderness, Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

¹⁹Mina olen Issand, teie Jumal, käige minu määruste järgi, pidage minu seadusi ja täitke neid

¹⁹I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

²⁰ja pühitsege minu hingamispäevi, et need oleksid leppemärgiks minu ja teie vahel, teadmiseks teile, et mina olen Issand, teie Jumal!

²⁰and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

²¹Aga lapsed hakkasid mulle vastu, nad ei käinud mu määruste järgi ega pidanud mu seadusi, et nad oleksid teinud nende järgi, mida inimene peab tegema, et ta nende varal võiks elada; nad teotasid mu hingamispäevi. Siis ma mõtlesin valada oma tulise viha nende peale, et vaigistada oma viha nende kallal kõrbes.

²¹But the children rebelled against me; they didn’t walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

²²Aga ma tõmbasin oma käe tagasi ja talitsesin end oma nime pärast, et seda ei teotataks paganate hulgas, kelle nähes ma olin nad Egiptusest välja toonud.

²²Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

²³Siis ma tõstsin ka kõrbes oma käe üles neile vandudes, et ma pillutan nad paganate sekka ja puistan nad laiali mööda maid,

²³Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

²⁴sellepärast et nad ei olnud teinud mu seaduste järgi, vaid olid hüljanud mu määrused ja olid teotanud mu hingamispäevi ja et nende silmad olid vahtinud nende vanemate ebajumalate poole.

²⁴because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

²⁵Siis andsin ka mina neile määrused, mis ei olnud head, ja seadused, mille varal nad ei saanud elada.

²⁵Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;

²⁶Ma lasksin nad saada rüvedaks nende ohvriandide läbi, kui nad kõik esmasündinud lasksid tulest läbi käia; ma kohutasin neid, et nad tunneksid, et mina olen Issand.

²⁶and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh.

²⁷Seepärast räägi Iisraeli sooga, inimesepoeg, ja ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Veel sellegagi on teie vanemad mind teotanud, et nad ei olnud mulle truud.

²⁷Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

²⁸Kui ma olin nad toonud maale, mille pärast ma olin oma käe üles tõstnud neile vandudes, et ma annan selle neile, ja nad nägid mõnda kõrgemat küngast või mõnda leherikast puud, siis nad ohverdasid seal oma tapaohvreid ja viisid sinna oma pahameelt tekitava ohvrianni; nad tegid seal oma uimastuslõhna ja valasid sinna oma joogiohvreid.

²⁸For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.

²⁹Siis ma ütlesin neile: Mis ohvriküngas see on, kuhu te lähete? Ja sellepärast nimetatakse seda tänapäevani ohvrikünkaks.

²⁹Then I said to them, What does the high place where you go mean? So its name is called Bamah to this day.

³⁰Seepärast ütle Iisraeli soole: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Kas tahate endid rüvetada oma vanemate viisil ja truudust murdes käia nende põlastusväärsuste järel?

³⁰Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? and do you play the prostitute after their abominations?

³¹Te rüvetate endid tänapäevani kõigi oma ebajumalatega, tuues oma ohvriande, lastes oma lapsi tulest läbi käia. Ja mina peaksin teid lubama minult nõu küsida, oh Iisraeli sugu! Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb Issand Jumal, ei luba ma teil mind küsitleda.

³¹and when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you;

³²Ja see, mis teile on meelde tulnud, ei sünni iialgi, see, mis te ütlete: 'Olgem paganate sarnased, muude maade suguvõsade sarnased, teenides puud ja kivi!'

³²and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

³³Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb Issand Jumal, tahan ma teid tõepoolest valitseda vägeva käe ja väljasirutatud käsivarrega ning väljavalatud tulise vihaga.

³³As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

³⁴Ja ma toon teid ära rahvaste seast ja kogun teid maadest, kuhu teid on pillutatud, vägeva käe ja väljasirutatud käsivarrega ning tulise vihaga.

³⁴and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;

³⁵Ja ma viin teid rahvaste kõrbe ning käin seal teiega kohut pale palge vastu.

³⁵and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

³⁶Nii nagu ma käisin kohut teie vanematega Egiptuse kõrbes, nõnda ma käin kohut teiega, ütleb Issand Jumal.

³⁶Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Yahweh.

³⁷Ma lasen teid läbi käia vitsa alt ja viin teid lepingusidemesse.

³⁷I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

³⁸Ma eraldan teie seast vastupanijad ja minu vastu ülesastujad: ma toon nad välja maalt, kus nad asuvad, aga Iisraeli maale nad ei tule; ja te saate tunda, et mina olen Issand.

³⁸and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

³⁹Aga teie, Iisraeli sugu, nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Minge ja teenige igaüks oma ebajumalaid; aga pärast seda te tõepoolest kuulate mind ega teota enam mu püha nime oma ohvriandide ja ebajumalatega.

³⁹As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.

⁴⁰Sest minu pühal mäel, Iisraeli kõrgel mäel, ütleb Issand Jumal, teenib mind kogu Iisraeli sugu, kõik seal maal; seal on mul neist hea meel ja seal ma nõuan teie tõstelõive ja teie uudseande koos kõigi teie pühade andidega.

⁴⁰For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

⁴¹Otsekui meeldivast lõhnast, nõnda on mul hea meel teist, kui ma viin teid ära rahvaste seast ja kogun teid maadest, kuhu teid on pillutatud; ja ma näitan ennast pühana teie juures paganate silme ees.

⁴¹As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

⁴²Ja te saate tunda, et mina olen Issand, kui ma toon teid Iisraeli pinnale, maale, mille pärast ma oma käe vandudes üles tõstsin, et ma annan selle teie vanemaile.

⁴²You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.

⁴³Ja seal te peate mõtlema oma teede ja kõigi oma tegude peale, millega te endid olete rüvetanud; siis te tunnete iseeneste ees tülgastust kõigi oma kuritegude pärast, mis te olete teinud.

⁴³There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.

⁴⁴Ja te saate tunda, et mina olen Issand, kui ma teiega nõnda talitan oma nime pärast, aga mitte teie halbade eluviiside ja hukatuslike tegude kohaselt, oh Iisraeli sugu, ütleb Issand Jumal.'

⁴⁴You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁴⁵The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁴⁶Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

⁴⁷and tell the forest of the South, Hear the word of Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

⁴⁸All flesh shall see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

⁴⁹Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! they say of me, Isn’t he a speaker of parables?
