¹Sõna, mis Jeremijale tuli Issandalt; ta ütles:

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

²'Nõnda räägib Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, ja ütleb: Kirjuta kõik sõnad, mis ma sulle olen rääkinud, enesele raamatusse!

²Thus speaks Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

³Sest vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma pööran oma Iisraeli ja Juuda rahva vangipõlve, ütleb Issand, ja ma toon nad tagasi maale, mille ma andsin nende vanemaile, ja nad pärivad selle.'

³For, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Yahweh; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

⁴Ja need on sõnad, mis Issand rääkis Iisraeli ja Juuda kohta,

⁴These are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁵sest nõnda ütleb Issand: 'Me oleme kuulnud hirmukisa; on kartus, aga mitte rahu.

⁵For thus says Yahweh: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

⁶Küsige ometi ja vaadake: kas meesterahvas sünnitab? Mispärast ma näen iga meest käed puusas nagu sünnitajal naisel, ja mispärast on kõik näod muutunud kahvatuks?

⁶Ask now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁷Häda! Sest see päev on suur, sellesarnast ei ole. See on Jaakobile ahastuse aeg, aga ta päästetakse sellest.

⁷Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

⁸Ja sel päeval, ütleb vägede Issand, ma murran ikke su kaelast ja kisun katki su köidikud; ja muulased ei pane neid enam teenima,

⁸It shall come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant;

⁹vaid nad teenivad Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja Taavetit, oma kuningat, kelle ma neile tõstan.

⁹but they shall serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

¹⁰Aga sina, mu sulane Jaakob, ära karda, ütleb Issand, ja Iisrael, ära ehmu! Sest vaata, ma päästan sind kaugelt ja sinu soo nende vangipõlvemaalt. Jaakob tuleb tagasi ning elab rahus ja muretult, ilma et keegi teda hirmutaks.

¹⁰Therefore don’t you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

¹¹Sest mina olen sinuga, ütleb Issand, et sind päästa. Ma teen lõpu kõigile rahvaile, kelle sekka ma sind olen pillutanud. Aga sinule ma ei tee lõppu: ma karistan sind õiglaselt, aga hoopis karistamata ma sind küll ei jäta.

¹¹For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

¹²Sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Su vigastus on ravimatu, su haav on valus.

¹²For thus says Yahweh, Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.

¹³Ei ole kedagi, kes kaitseks su õigust, mädapaisel ei ole paranemist, sulle ei kasva korpa.

¹³There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

¹⁴Kõik su armukesed on sind unustanud, nad ei küsi su järele. Sest ma olen sind löönud, nagu lüüakse vaenlast halastamatu karistusega, sellepärast et su süü on suur, et su patte on palju.

¹⁴All your lovers have forgotten you; they don’t seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.

¹⁵Miks sa kisendad oma haava pärast, et su valu on vaigistamatu? Su suure süü, su paljude pattude pärast olen ma sulle seda teinud.

¹⁵Why do you cry for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

¹⁶Ometi õgitakse ära kõik, kes sind õgivad, ja kõik, kes sind rõhuvad - viimane kui üks läheb vangi; kes sind rüüstavad, saavad rüüstatavaiks, ja kõik, kes võtavad sind saagiks, annan ma saagiks.

¹⁶Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who despoil you shall be a spoil, and all who prey on you will I give for a prey.

¹⁷Sest ma tahan lasta kasvada sulle korba ja ravida sind sinu haavadest, ütleb Issand, sellepärast et sind on nimetatud hüljatuks: 'Siion, kellest ükski ei hooli!'

¹⁷For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh; because they have called you an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

¹⁸Nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, ma pööran Jaakobi telkide vangipõlve ja ma halastan tema eluasemete peale; linn ehitatakse üles oma rusuhunnikule ja palee asub seal, kus see peab asuma.

¹⁸Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.

¹⁹Sealt kostab tänulaul ja rõõmsate hääl. Ma teen nad paljuks ja nad ei vähene, ma teen nad auväärseiks ja neid ei halvustata.

¹⁹Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

²⁰Siis on ta pojad nagu muistegi ja ta kogudus seisab kindlana mu ees. Ja ma karistan kõiki ta piinajaid.

²⁰Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.

²¹Temast enesest tuleb ta aukandja ja tema keskelt ilmub ta valitseja; ma luban teda ligineda ja ta tuleb mu juurde, sest kes muidu annaks pandiks oma südame, et minule ligineda? ütleb Issand.

²¹Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Yahweh.

²²Siis te olete mu rahvas ja mina olen teie Jumal.

²²You shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²³Vaata, Issanda torm, raev, puhkeb, ja keeristorm keerutab üle õelate pea.

²³Behold, the storm of Yahweh, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.

²⁴Issanda viha ei pöördu enne, kui ta on teoks teinud ja korda saatnud oma tahtmise. Viimseil päevil te mõistate seda.

²⁴The fierce anger of Yahweh will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
