¹Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.

¹Iisrael on vohav viinapuu, mis kasvatab oma vilja; aga mida viljakam ta on, seda rohkem tuleb altareid; mida parem on ta maa, seda kaunimaid sambaid püstitatakse.

²Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.

²Nende süda on valelik, nüüd peavad nad kandma karistust: nende altarid purustatakse, nende sambad hävitatakse.

³For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

³Sest nad ütlevad nüüd: 'Meil ei ole kuningat vaja! Kuna me ei karda Issandat, siis mida saaks kuningaski teha meie heaks?'

⁴They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

⁴Kuningad teevad sõnu, vannuvad valet, sõlmivad lepinguid - aga kohus nende üle võrsub otsekui mürgirohi igal põlluvaol.

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

⁵Beet-Aaveni vasikate pärast halisevad Samaaria elanikud; tõesti, selle pärast leinab ta rahvas ja uluvad ta preestrid, et neilt võetakse nende au.

⁶It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

⁶Ka vasikas ise viiakse Assurisse, kingituseks suurkuningale. Häbi valdab Efraimi ja Iisrael jääb häbisse oma nõu pärast.

⁷As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.

⁷Samaaria hävitatakse, ta kuningas on nagu vaht vee peal.

⁸The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

⁸Aaveni ohvrikünkad, Iisraeli patt, hävitatakse ära; nende altareil kasvavad kibuvitsad ja ohakad. Siis nad ütlevad mägedele: 'Katke meid!' ja mäekinkudele: 'Langege meie peale!'

⁹O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

⁹Alates Gibea päevist oled sa teinud pattu, Iisrael! Sinna on nad jäänud peatuma. Kas Gibeas ei saa neid kätte sõda sõnakuulmatute laste vastu?

¹⁰It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

¹⁰Oma himu järgi ma karistan neid, ja rahvad kogunevad nende vastu, kui neid karistatakse nende kahekordse süüteo pärast.

¹¹And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

¹¹Efraim on õpetatud härjavärss, kes armastab pahmast tallata; aga mina panen ikke tema kauni kaela peale. Mina rakendan Efraimi, Juuda peab kündma, Jaakob äestama!

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

¹²Külvake enestele õiguseks, lõigake vastavalt vagadusele; rajage enestele uudismaad, sest aeg on otsida Issandat, kuni ta tuleb ja õpetab teile õigust!

¹³Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

¹³Te olete kündnud õelust, lõiganud ülekohut, söönud valede vilja. Sest sa oled lootnud oma tee peale, oma paljude kangelaste peale.

¹⁴Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

¹⁴Seepärast tõuseb su rahva keskel sõjakära ja kõik su kindlused hävitatakse, nõnda nagu Salman hävitas sõjaajal Beet-Arbeli: emad koos lastega rebiti tükkideks.

¹⁵So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

¹⁵Nõnda on teinud teile Peetel teie väga suure kurjuse pärast; koiduajal hukkub kindlasti Iisraeli kuningas.
