¹When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.

¹Kui ma teen Iisraeli terveks, siis saavad avalikuks Efraimi süüd ja Samaaria kuriteod; sest nad teevad pettust, varas tungib sisse ja väljas rüüstavad röövlid.

²And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

²Aga nad ei mõtle oma südames, et ma pean meeles kõik nende kuriteod; nüüd ümbritsevad neid nende teod, need on minu palge ees.

³They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

³Oma kurjusega rõõmustavad nad kuningat ja oma valedega vürste.

⁴They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

⁴Nad kõik on abielurikkujad; nad on nagu küdev küpsetusahi, mille tule pagar jätab kohendamata taigna sõtkumisest hapnemiseni.

⁵In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.

⁵Meie kuninga päeval on vürstid hõõguvast veinist haiged. Ta lööb pilkajatega kätt.

⁶For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

⁶Sest need on tulnud lähedale, nende süda on varitsemises nagu kuum küpsetusahi; nende pagar magab kogu öö, aga hommikul lööb lõkkele otsekui tuleleek.

⁷They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

⁷Nad kõik on kuumad nagu küpsetusahi ja nad neelavad oma kohtumõistjad; kõik nende kuningad langevad, ükski neist ei hüüa minu poole.

⁸Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

⁸Efraim seguneb rahvaste hulka; Efraim on nagu kook, millel ei ole pööratud teist külge.

⁹Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.

⁹Võõrad söövad ta jõu, aga tema ise ei märkagi; ta juustesse on puistatud halli, aga tema ise ei teagi.

¹⁰And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

¹⁰Iisraeli kõrkus tunnistab tema enese vastu; nad ei pöördu Issanda, oma Jumala poole ega otsi teda kõigest hoolimata.

¹¹Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

¹¹Efraim on otsekui tuvi, kohtlane ja taipamatu; nad kutsuvad Egiptust, nad lähevad Assurisse.

¹²When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

¹²Aga kui nad lähevad, siis ma laotan nende peale oma võrgu, ma toon nad alla nagu taeva linnud; ma karistan neid, nagu nende koguduses on kuulutatud.

¹³Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

¹³Häda neile, sest nad põgenevad minu juurest! Hukatus neile, sest nad astuvad üles minu vastu! Mina tahtsin neid lunastada, aga nemad räägivad mu kohta valet.

¹⁴And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

¹⁴Nad ei hüüa südamest minu poole, vaid uluvad oma asemeil. Nad lõikavad endile leinamärke ihusse vilja ja veini pärast, aga minu vastu tõstavad nad mässu.

¹⁵Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

¹⁵Mina olen juhtinud ja kinnitanud nende käsivarsi, aga nemad kavatsevad minu vastu kurja.

¹⁶They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

¹⁶Nad pöörduvad, aga mitte ülespoole, nad on otsekui lõtv amb. Nende vürstid langevad mõõga läbi oma pilkava keele pärast: sellepärast pilgatakse neid Egiptusemaal.
