¹Sel ajal, ütleb Issand, võetakse Juuda kuningate luud ja tema vürstide luud, preestrite luud ja prohvetite luud ja Jeruusalemma elanike luud nende haudadest välja

¹At that time, says Yahweh, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;

²ja laotatakse päikese ja kuu ja kogu taevaväe ette, mida nad armastasid ja mida nad teenisid, mille järel nad käisid ja mille poole nad pöördusid ja mida nad kummardasid; neid ei korjata enam kokku ega maeta, need jäävad maa peale sõnnikuks.

²and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.

³Ja surm on elust eelistatum kogu sellele jäägile, kes sellest halvast suguvõsast järele jääb kõigis paigus, kuhu ma pillutan nende jäägi, ütleb vägede Issand.

³Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of Armies.

⁴Ja ütle neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Eks langenu taha üles tõusta? Eks eksinu taha pöörduda tagasi?

⁴Moreover you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?

⁵Mispärast jääb see rahvas, Jeruusalemm, igavesti eksinuks? Nad hoiavad pettusest kinni, nad tõrguvad pöördumast.

⁵Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

⁶Ma olen tähele pannud ja kuulnud: nad ei räägi õigust. Keegi neist ei kahetse oma kurjust, et ta mõtleks: 'Mis ma olen teinud!' Igaüks jookseb kiiresti oma teed nagu kihutav hobune lahingus.

⁶I listened and heard, but they didn’t speak aright: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.

⁷Isegi toonekurg taeva all teab oma seatud aega, turteltuvi, pääsuke ja rästas peavad kinni oma tulemisajast, aga minu rahvas ei tunne Issanda Seadust.

⁷Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know Yahweh’s law.

⁸Kuidas te võite öelda: 'Me oleme targad ja meil on Issanda Seadus'? Tõesti, vaata, kirjatundjate valesulg on teinud selle valeks.

⁸How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.

⁹Targad jäävad häbisse, nad ehmuvad ja nad tabatakse. Vaata, nad on põlanud Issanda sõna - mis tarkust võib neil olla?

⁹The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what kind of wisdom is in them?

¹⁰Sellepärast ma annan nende naised teistele, nende põllud vallutajaile. Sest kõik, niihästi väikesed kui suured, ahnitsevad kasu; kõik, niihästi prohvetid kui preestrid, petavad.

¹⁰Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.

¹¹Ja mu rahva, mu tütre vigastust ravivad nad pinnapealselt, öeldes: 'Rahu, rahu!', kuigi rahu ei ole.

¹¹They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

¹²Kas nad häbenevad, et nad on teinud jäledust? Ei, nad ei häbene sugugi ega tunne piinlikkust. Seepärast nad langevad langejate hulgas, oma karistusajal nad komistavad, ütleb Issand.

¹²Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.

¹³Ma nopin nad ära sootuks, ütleb Issand. Ei jää viinamarju viinapuule ega viigimarju viigipuule ja lehed närtsivad. Ja mis ma neile olen andnud, läheb neist mööda.

¹³I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

¹⁴'Miks me siin istume? Kogunegem ja mingem kindlustatud linnadesse ning vaikigem seal, sest Issand, meie Jumal, teeb meid vaikseks ja joodab mürgiveega, sest me oleme pattu teinud Issanda vastu.'

¹⁴Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.

¹⁵Oodatakse rahu, aga head ei ole, paranemisaega, aga vaata, on kohkumus.

¹⁵We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!

¹⁶Daanist kuuldakse tema hobuste nooskamist, tema täkkude hirnumisest väriseb kogu maa. Nad tulevad ja söövad maa koos kõigega, linna ja selle elanikud.

¹⁶The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell therein.

¹⁷Sest vaata, ma läkitan teie sekka madusid, mürkmadusid, kellesse ei mõju lausumine, ja need salvavad teid, ütleb Issand.

¹⁷For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yahweh.

¹⁸Mu mure murrab mind, mu süda on haige!

¹⁸Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.

¹⁹Vaata, mu tütre, mu rahva appihüüd kaugelt maalt: 'Kas Issand ei ole Siionis või ei ole seal selle kuningas?' Miks nad mind on ärritanud oma nikerdatud kujudega, võõraste ebajumalatega?

¹⁹Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: isn’t Yahweh in Zion? Isn’t her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?

²⁰'Lõikus on lõppenud, suvi on möödas, aga meid ei ole päästetud!'

²⁰The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

²¹Oma rahva, mu tütre vigastuse pärast olen ma murdunud; ma olen kurb, mind on haaranud hirm.

²¹For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.

²²Kas Gileadis ei ole palsamit või ei ole seal ravijat? Miks ei ole mu tütar, mu rahvas, siis terveks saanud?

²²Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

²³Kes annaks, et mu peas oleks vett ja mu silmad oleksid pisarate allikad? Siis ma nutaksin päevad ja ööd oma tütre, oma rahva mahalöödute pärast.
