¹Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

¹Olgu sul pasun huultel! Issanda koja peale langeb otsekui kotkas. Sest nad on rikkunud mu lepingut ja on hakanud vastu mu Seadusele.

²Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

²Nad kisendavad küll minu poole: 'Mu Jumal! Meie, Iisrael, tunneme sind!'

³Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

³Iisrael on hüljanud hea, vaenlane ajab teda taga.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

⁴Nad on seadnud kuningaid, aga mitte minu poolt; nad on seadnud vürste, aga mina ei teagi; oma hõbedast ja kullast on nad teinud enestele ebajumalaid, et saada hävitatud.

⁵Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

⁵Samaaria! Su vasikas tõugatakse ära! Mu viha põleb nende vastu. Kui kaua on nad võimetud puhastuseks?

⁶For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁶Sest ka see on tulnud Iisraelist, sepp on selle teinud, see ei ole jumal. Kildudeks lüüakse Samaaria vasikas.

⁷For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

⁷Jah, nad külvavad tuult ja lõikavad tormi. Kõrrel pole kasvu, see ei anna jahu; või kui annabki, siis neelavad selle võõrad.

⁸Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

⁸Iisrael on ära neelatud. Nüüd on nad paganate seas nagu kõlbmatu astja.

⁹For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

⁹Sest nad on läinud Assurisse nagu üksik metseesel. Efraim on jaganud armukingitusi.

¹⁰Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

¹⁰Kuigi nad jagavad neid paganate seas, kogun mina neid nüüd; ja nad hakkavad vähenema kuninga ja vürstide koorma all.

¹¹Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

¹¹Et Efraim on patu tegemiseks ehitanud palju altareid, siis on altarid saanud temale patuks.

¹²I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

¹²Kuigi ma kirjutan temale väga palju oma seadusi, peetakse neid võõraks asjaks.

¹³They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

¹³Nad ohverdavad mu ohvriandide ohvreid ja söövad selle liha; Issandal pole neist hea meel. Nüüd mõtleb ta nende süüle ja nuhtleb nende patte: nad peavad pöörduma tagasi Egiptusesse.

¹⁴For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

¹⁴Iisrael unustas oma Looja ja ehitas paleesid, ka Juuda ehitas palju kindlustatud linnu; aga mina saadan ta linnadesse tule ja see neelab ta suured hooned.
