1Wo [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And come to them have the house of Israel.
1Häda muretuile Siionis ja julgeile Samaaria mäel ja rahva tähtsaile meestele, kelle juurde tuleb Iisraeli sugu!
2Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they] better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your border?
2Minge Kalnesse ja vaadake, ja sealt minge suurde Hamatisse; siis minge alla vilistite Gatti: kas olete neist kuningriikidest paremad? Ons nende maa teie maast suurem?
3Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the seat of violence,
3Häda teile, kes te peate kaugeks kurja päeva, aga toote ligidale vägivalla aasta,
4Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,
4kes te magate elevandiluust voodites ja aelete oma asemeil, sööte talled karjast ja nuumvasikad laudast,
5Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;
5kes te sepitsete laule naabli saatel, valmistate endile mänguriistu nagu Taavet,
6Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the breach of Joseph.
6kes te joote karikaist veini ja võiate endid parima õliga, aga Joosepi hukkumine ei tee teile haiget.
7Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones.
7Seepärast viiakse nad nüüd vangi esimeste viidavate seas ja nende aelemispeol on lõpp.
8Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered up the city and its fulness.
8Issand Jumal on iseeneses vandunud, Issand, vägede Jumal, ütleb: Ma ei salli Jaakobi kõrkust, ma vihkan tema paleesid; ma loovutan linna ja kõik, kes selles on.
9And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come to pass — that they have died.
9Ja kui siis ka kümme meest ühte kotta alles jääb, surevad needki.
10And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who [is] in the sides of the house, `Is there yet with thee?` And he said, `None,` then he said, `Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.`
10Ja kui kellegi sugulane ja laibapõletaja ta võtab, et luid kojast välja viia, ja küsib siis sellelt, kes on koja kaugeimas nurgas: 'Kas sinu juures on veel keegi?', siis vastab see: 'Ei ole.' Aga teine ütleb: 'Tasa!' Sest Issanda nime ei tohi nimetada.
11For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with] clefts.
11Sest vaata, Issand käsib ja suur koda lüüakse tükkideks ning väike koda kildudeks.
12Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
12Kas hobused saavad joosta kaljul või küntakse seda härgadega, et te pöörate õiguse mürgiks ja õigluse vilja koirohuks,
13O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, `Have we not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?`
13teie, kes rõõmustate Lo-Debari pärast, kes ütlete: 'Eks me ole oma jõuga võtnud enestele Karnaimi?'
14Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of the desert.
14Jah, vaata, ma lasen tõusta teie vastu, Iisraeli sugu, ühe rahva, ütleb Issand, vägede Jumal, ja nad suruvad teid Hamati teelahkmest Lagendikujõeni.
