¹Ja kaheteistkümnendal aastal, kaheteistkümnenda kuu esimesel päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²'Inimesepoeg, alusta nutulaulu vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga pärast ja ütle talle: Rahvaste lõvi, sa pead vaikima! Sa olid küll nagu krokodill jõgedes ja purskasid puristades; sa segasid oma jalgadega vett ja tegid sogaseks nende jõed.

²Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.

³Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Ma laotan su peale oma võrgu paljude rahvaste hulgaga ja nad tõmbavad sind üles minu noodas.

³Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.

⁴Ma jätan su maa peale, viskan su lagedale väljale; ma panen su peale elama kõik taeva linnud ja toidan sinuga kogu maa loomi.

⁴I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.

⁵Ma loobin su liha mägede peale ja täidan su raipega orud.

⁵I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

⁶Ma kastan maad sellega, mis sinust voolab, su verega kuni mägedeni, ja ojad saavad sind täis.

⁶I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.

⁷Ma katan taevad, kui ma su kustutan, ja teen nende tähed tumedaks; ma katan pilvega päikese ja teen, et kuu ei anna oma valgust.

⁷When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

⁸Kõik taevast paistvad valgused teen ma su kohal tuhmiks ja ma panen su maale pimeduse, ütleb Issand Jumal.

⁸All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁹Ma teen murelikuks paljude rahvaste südamed, kui ma viin su hävingu rahvaste sekka, maadesse, mida sa ei tunne.

⁹I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

¹⁰Ma lasen sinu pärast ehmuda paljusid rahvaid ja sinu pärast haarab nende kuningaid hirm, kui ma vehin nende ees oma mõõgaga; nad värisevad iga silmapilk, igaüks oma hinge pärast su langemispäeval.

¹⁰Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

¹¹Sest nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Paabeli kuninga mõõk tuleb sulle kallale.

¹¹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.

¹²Kangelaste mõõkade läbi lasen ma langeda su hiilguse - nad kõik on julmimad rahvaste seas. Nad kaotavad Egiptuse kõrkuse ja kogu selle hiilgus hävitatakse.

¹²By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

¹³Ja ma hävitan kõik selle loomad suurte vete äärest: neid vesi ei sega enam inimjalg ega kariloomade sõrad.

¹³I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.

¹⁴Siis ma lasen selgida nende veed ja panen nende jõed õlina voolama, ütleb Issand Jumal.

¹⁴Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵Kui ma teen Egiptusemaa lagedaks ja maa saab paljaks kõigest, mis seal on, kui ma kõik, kes seal elavad, maha löön, siis nad tunnevad, et mina olen Issand.

¹⁵When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁶See on nutulaul ja nii seda lauldakse. Rahvaste tütred laulavad seda Egiptuse ja kogu selle hiilguse pärast - nii nad laulavad seda, ütleb Issand Jumal.'

¹⁶This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁷Ja kaheteistkümnendal aastal, esimese kuu viieteistkümnendal päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹⁷It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁸'Inimesepoeg, kaeba Egiptuse hiilguse pärast, saada see ja vägevate rahvaste tütred maa sügavustesse haudaläinute juurde!

¹⁸Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.

¹⁹Kellest oled sa nüüd veel meelepärasem? Astu alla ja heida magama ümberlõikamatute juurde!

¹⁹Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

²⁰Nad langevad mõõgaga mahalöödute keskele. Mõõk on antud. Tõmmake alla tema ja kogu ta hiilgus!

²⁰They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.

²¹Vägevad kangelased räägivad surmavallast tema ja ta abistajate puhul: 'Nad on tulnud alla, nad lamavad, need ümberlõikamatud ja mõõgaga mahalöödud.'

²¹The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

²²Seal on Assur ja kogu ta jõuk, tema ümber on nende hauad; need kõik on maha löödud, langenud mõõga läbi,

²²Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;

²³nende hauad on augu sügavaimas põhjas; tema jõuk on ümber ta haua; need kõik on maha löödud, mõõga läbi langenud, kes tekitasid hirmu elavate maal.

²³whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

²⁴Seal on Eelam ja kogu ta toredus ümber ta haua, need kõik on maha löödud, mõõga läbi langenud, ümberlõikamatuna on astunud alla maa sügavustesse need, kes tekitasid hirmu elavate maal; nad kannavad oma häbi koos nendega, kes on läinud alla hauda.

²⁴There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.

²⁵Mahalöödute keskele on antud ase temale ja kõigile ta väehulkadele; tema ümber on ta hauad. Kõik need ümberlõikamatud on mõõgaga maha löödud, sest nende pärast tekkis hirm elavate maal; nad kannavad oma häbi koos nendega, kes on läinud alla hauda; ta on pandud mahalöödute keskele.

²⁵They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.

²⁶Seal on Mesek, Tubal ja kogu ta väehulk; tema ümber on ta hauad; kõik need ümberlõikamatud on mõõgaga maha löödud, sest nende pärast tekkis hirm elavate maal.

²⁶There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are around them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.

²⁷Nad magavad koos muiste langenud kangelastega, kes läksid alla surmavalda oma relvadega, kelle mõõgad pandi neile pea alla ja kelle patud on nende luude peal; sest elavate maal oli hirm nende kangelaste ees.

²⁷They shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

²⁸Sindki murtakse ümberlõikamatute keskel ja sa pead magama koos mõõgaga mahalöödutega.

²⁸But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.

²⁹Seal on Edom, tema kuningad ja kõik ta vürstid, kes hoolimata nende kangelaslikkusest on pandud mõõgaga mahalöödute juurde; nad magavad koos ümberlõikamatutega ja haudaläinutega.

²⁹There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.

³⁰Seal on põhjamaa vürstid tervikuna ja kõik siidonlased, kes koos mahalöödutega on läinud alla, kes hoolimata hirmust nende vägevuse ees on jäänud häbisse; nad magavad ümberlõikamatuna mõõgaga mahalöödute juures ja kannavad oma häbi koos nendega, kes on läinud alla hauda.

³⁰There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

³¹Neid saab vaarao näha ja võib ennast trööstida kogu oma hiilguse pärast, mõõgaga mahalöödud vaarao ja kõik ta sõjavägi, ütleb Issand Jumal.

³¹Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

³²Sest ma panen ta hirmu elavate maale. Seepärast pannakse vaarao ja kogu ta väehulk magama ümberlõikamatute sekka koos mõõgaga mahalöödutega, ütleb Issand Jumal.'

³²For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
