¹Kümnendal aastal, kümnenda kuu kaheteistkümnendal päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna, ta ütles:

¹In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²'Inimesepoeg, pööra oma pale vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga poole ja kuuluta prohvetlikult temale ja kogu Egiptusele!

²“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

³Räägi ja ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma tulen sulle kallale, vaarao, Egiptuse kuningas - suur krokodill, kes sa lamad jõgede keskel, kes sa ütled: 'Mu Niilus on mu päralt ja mina olen selle enesele teinud.'

³Speak and say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

⁴Ma panen su lõuapäradesse haagid ja lasen su jõgede kalad hakata su soomuste külge; ma tõmban jõgede keskelt üles sinu ja kõik su jõgede kalad, kes on hakanud su soomuste külge.

⁴I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.

⁵Ma viskan su kõrbe, sinu ja kõik su jõgede kalad; sa kukud lagedale maale, sind ei koristata ega maeta, ma annan su roaks metsloomadele ja taeva lindudele.

⁵I’ll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.

⁶Ja kõik Egiptuse elanikud saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand, sellepärast et nad on olnud pillirookepiks Iisraeli soole:

⁶All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

⁷kui nad käega haarasid sinust kinni, siis sa läksid katki ja rebestasid neil kogu käe; ja kui nad toetusid su peale, siis sa murdusid ja halvasid neil kõigil niuded.

⁷When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs.”

⁸Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal nõnda: Vaata, ma toon su kallale mõõga ja hävitan sinust inimesed ja loomad,

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.

⁹ning Egiptusemaa muutub lagedaks ja varemeiks. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand. Sest ta on öelnud: 'Niiluse jõgi on minu päralt ja mina olen selle teinud.'

⁹The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Yahweh. Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it;’

¹⁰Seepärast, vaata, ma tulen sinu ja su jõgede kallale ja teen Egiptusemaa varemeiks, kuivaks lagendikuks Migdolist Seveeneni ja kuni Etioopia piirini.

¹⁰therefore, behold, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.

¹¹Ei astu seal inimese jalg ega astu seal looma jalg, ja seal ei elata nelikümmend aastat.

¹¹No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

¹²Ma teen Egiptusemaa lagedaks lagedate maade hulgas ja selle linnad jäävad neljakümneks aastaks laastatuks varemeis linnade hulgas; ja ma pillutan egiptlased rahvaste sekka ning puistan nad laiali mööda maid.

¹²I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”

¹³Sest nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Neljakümne aasta pärast kogun ma egiptlased rahvaste seast, kuhu nad olid pillutatud,

¹³For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;

¹⁴ja ma pööran Egiptuse saatuse ning toon nad tagasi Patrosemaale, nende päritolumaale. Ja seal on nad tähtsuseta kuningriik:

¹⁴and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.

¹⁵see on kuningriikidest tähtsusetuim ega tõsta ennast enam üle rahvaste; ja ma vähendan neid nõnda, et nad ei valitse enam rahvaste üle.

¹⁵It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

¹⁶Nad ei ole enam lootuseks Iisraeli soole, mis meelde tuletaks tema süütegu, kui ta pöörduks nende poole. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand Jumal.'

¹⁶It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”’”

¹⁷Ja kahekümne seitsmendal aastal, esimese kuu esimesel päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹⁷It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁸'Inimesepoeg, Paabeli kuningas Nebukadnetsar on pannud oma sõjaväe tegema rasket tööd Tüürose kallal: kõigil on pead läinud paljaks ja kõigil on õlad hõõrdunud, aga palka ei ole Tüürosest saanud ei tema ega ta sõjavägi töö eest, mida ta selle kallal on teinud.

¹⁸Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.

¹⁹Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal nõnda: Vaata, ma annan Paabeli kuningale Nebukadnetsarile Egiptusemaa; ta viib ära selle rikkuse, võtab sealt saaki ja riisub, mis riisuda on, ja see saab ta sõjaväele palgaks.

¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

²⁰Tasuks töö eest, mida ta selle kallal on teinud, annan ma temale Egiptusemaa, sest nad on teinud seda minu heaks, ütleb Issand Jumal.

²⁰I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the Lord Yahweh.

²¹Sel päeval ma lasen Iisraeli soole kasvada sarve ja annan sinule võime avada oma suu nende keskel. Ja nad saavad tunda, et mina olen Issand.'

²¹In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
