¹Sõna, mis Jeremijale tuli Issandalt Juuda kuninga Sidkija kümnendal aastal; see oli Nebukadnetsari kaheksateistkümnes aasta.

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

²Paabeli kuninga sõjavägi piiras siis Jeruusalemma ja prohvet Jeremijat peeti kinni vahtkonnaõues, mis oli Juuda kuningakoja juures,

²Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

³kuhu Juuda kuningas Sidkija oli ta kinni pannud, öeldes: 'Mispärast sa kuulutad ja ütled: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, ma annan selle linna Paabeli kuninga kätte ja ta vallutab selle!?

³For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

⁴Ja Juuda kuningas Sidkija ei pääse kaldealaste käest, vaid antakse kindlasti Paabeli kuninga kätte ja ta peab temaga rääkima suust suhu ja nägema teda silmast silma.

⁴and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;

⁵Sidkija viiakse tema poolt Paabelisse ja ta jääb sinna, kuni ma võtan tema oma hoolde, ütleb Issand; kui te sõdite kaldealaste vastu, ei ole teil õnne.'

⁵and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?

⁶Ja Jeremija ütles: 'Mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

⁶Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁷Vaata, Hanameel, su lelle Sallumi poeg, tuleb sinu juurde ja ütleb: Osta enesele minu Anatotis olev põld, sest sul on selle ostuks lunaõigus!'

⁷Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.

⁸Ja Hanameel, mu lellepoeg, tuli Issanda sõna kohaselt mu juurde vahtkonnaõue ja ütles mulle: 'Osta ometi mu põld, mis on Anatotis Benjamini maal, sest sinul on pärimis- ja lunaõigus; osta see enesele!' Siis ma mõistsin, et see oli Issanda sõna.

⁸So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.

⁹Ja ma ostsin Hanameelilt, oma lellepojalt, Anatotis oleva põllu ning vaagisin temale seitseteist hõbeseeklit hõbedat,

⁹I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

¹⁰kirjutasin üriku ja pitseerisin selle, võtsin siis tunnistajad ja vaagisin hõbeda vaekaussidega.

¹⁰I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

¹¹Siis ma võtsin käsu ja seaduste kohaselt pitseeritud ostukirja ja lahtise kirja

¹¹So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;

¹²ning andsin ostukirja Baarukile, Mahseja poja Neerija pojale, oma lellepoja Hanameeli ja tunnistajate nähes, kes olid ostukirjale alla kirjutanud, kõigi juutide nähes, kes istusid vahtkonnaõues.

¹²and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

¹³Ja ma käskisin Baarukit nende nähes, öeldes:

¹³I commanded Baruch before them, saying,

¹⁴'Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Võta need kirjad, see pitseeritud ostukiri ja see lahtine kiri, ja pane saviastjaisse, et need säiliksid kaua aega!

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.

¹⁵Sest nõnda ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Kord ostetakse siin maal jälle kodasid, põlde ja viinamägesid.'

¹⁵For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.

¹⁶Ja pärast seda, kui olin andnud ostukirja Baarukile, Neerija pojale, palusin ma Issandat, öeldes:

¹⁶Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,

¹⁷'Oh Issand Jumal! Vaata, sina oled teinud taeva ja maa oma suure rammu ja väljasirutatud käsivarrega: ükski asi ei ole võimatu sinul,

¹⁷Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,

¹⁸kes osutad heldust tuhandeile, aga tasud vanemate süü nende laste sülle pärast neid; sina oled suur, vägev Jumal, kelle nimi on vägede Issand,

¹⁸who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name;

¹⁹suur nõu ja vägev teo poolest, sina, kelle silmad on lahti inimlaste kõigi teede kohal, et anda igaühele tema teede ja tegude vilja järgi,

¹⁹great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

²⁰sina, kes oled teinud tunnustähti ja imetegusid Egiptusemaal ning teed neid tänapäevani Iisraelis ja muude inimeste seas, ja kes oled teinud enesele nime, nõnda nagu see tänapäeval on.

²⁰who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as in this day;

²¹Sina tõid ära oma Iisraeli rahva Egiptusemaalt tunnustähtede ja imetegudega, vägeva käe ja väljasirutatud käsivarrega ning suure hirmu abil

²¹and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

²²ja andsid neile selle maa, mille sa vandega olid tõotanud anda nende vanemaile, maa, mis voolab piima ja mett.

²²and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

²³Aga kui nad tulid ja võtsid selle omaks, siis nad ei võtnud kuulda su sõna ega käinud su Seaduse järgi, nad ei teinud midagi kõigest sellest, mida sa neid olid käskinud teha; seepärast lasksid sa tulla neile kogu selle õnnetuse.

²³and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.

²⁴Vaata, piiramisvallid ulatuvad linnani, et seda vallutada, ja linn antakse mõõga, nälja ja katku abil kaldealaste kätte, kes sõdivad selle vastu. Millest sa oled rääkinud, see on sündinud, ja vaata, sa ise näed seda.

²⁴Behold, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it.

²⁵Aga sina, Issand Jumal, ütlesid mulle ometi: Osta raha eest enesele põld ja võta tunnistajad, ehk küll linn antakse kaldealaste kätte!'

²⁵You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Ja Issanda sõna tuli Jeremijale; ta ütles:

²⁶Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,

²⁷'Vaata, mina olen Issand, kõige liha Jumal! Ons mulle mõni asi võimatu?

²⁷Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

²⁸Seepärast ütleb Issand nõnda: Vaata, ma annan selle linna kaldealaste kätte ja Paabeli kuninga Nebukadnetsari kätte ja tema vallutab selle.

²⁸Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

²⁹Ja kaldealased, kes sõdivad selle linna vastu, tulevad ning süütavad selle linna tulega ja põletavad selle ja kojad, mille katustel minu pahandamiseks on suitsutatud Baalile ja on valatud joogiohvreid teistele jumalatele.

²⁹and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

³⁰Sest Iisraeli lapsed ja Juuda lapsed on oma noorusest alates teinud minu silmis ainult kurja; on ju Iisraeli lapsed mind ainult pahandanud oma kätetööga, ütleb Issand.

³⁰For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.

³¹Jah, see linn on mulle olnud viha ja raevu põhjuseks alates päevast, kui see ehitati, kuni tänapäevani, nõnda et ma pean selle kõrvaldama oma palge eest

³¹For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

³²kõigi Iisraeli laste ja Juuda laste kurjuse pärast, mida nad on teinud, et mind pahandada, nemad, nende kuningad, nende vürstid, nende preestrid ja nende prohvetid, ja Juuda mehed ja Jeruusalemma elanikud.

³²because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

³³Nad on pööranud mu poole kukla, aga mitte näo; ja kuigi ma olen neid õpetanud ja õpetanud, ei ole nad kuulnud, et võtta õpetust.

³³They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

³⁴Nad on asetanud oma jäledused kotta, millele on pandud minu nimi, ja on selle roojastanud.

³⁴But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

³⁵Ja nad on ehitanud Baali ohvrikünkad, mis on Ben-Hinnomi orus, et ohverdada Moolokile oma poegi ja tütreid, mida ma neid ei ole käskinud ja mis mulle ei ole tulnud meeldegi, et nad võiksid teha niisugust jõledust, selleks et saata Juudat pattu tegema.

³⁵They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I didn’t command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

³⁶Aga nüüd, tõepoolest, ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, nõnda selle linna kohta, mille kohta te ütlete: 'See antakse Paabeli kuninga kätte mõõga, nälja ja katku abil!'

³⁶Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

³⁷Vaata, ma kogun neid kõigist maadest, kuhu ma olen nad tõuganud oma vihas, raevus ja suures meelepahas, ja toon nad tagasi siia paika ning lasen neid elada turvaliselt.

³⁷Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

³⁸Siis on nad mulle rahvaks ja mina olen neile Jumalaks.

³⁸and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁹Ja ma annan neile ühesuguse südame ja ühesuguse tee, nõnda et nad alati kardavad mind, kasuks neile ja nende lastele pärast neid.

³⁹and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them:

⁴⁰Ja ma teen nendega igavese lepingu, et ma ei loobu tegemast neile head; ja ma annan neile südamesse minu kartuse, et nad ei lahkuks minust.

⁴⁰and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

⁴¹Ja ma tunnen neist rõõmu, tehes neile head, ma istutan nad ustavalt siia maale kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest.

⁴¹Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

⁴²Sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Nii nagu ma tõin sellele rahvale kogu selle suure õnnetuse, nõnda ma toon neile kõik selle hea, mis ma neile olen tõotanud.

⁴²For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

⁴³Ja põlde ostetakse veelgi sellel maal, mille kohta te ütlete: 'See on lage, inimesteta ja loomadeta, ja see antakse kaldealaste kätte!'

⁴³Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

⁴⁴Põlde ostetakse raha eest, ostukirju kirjutatakse ja pitseeritakse ja tunnistajaid võetakse Benjamini maal, Jeruusalemma ümbruskonnas, Juuda linnades, mäestiku linnades, madalmaa linnades ja Lõunamaa linnades, sest ma pööran nende vangipõlve, ütleb Issand.'

⁴⁴Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.
