¹`When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,

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 do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.

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

³With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.

³Oma kurjusega rõõmustavad nad kuningat ja oma valedega vürste.

⁴All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.

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

⁵A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.

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

⁶For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning 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.

⁷All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.

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

⁸Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.

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

⁹Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.

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

¹⁰And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.

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

¹¹And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.

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

¹²When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company 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.

¹³Wo to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and 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 have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside 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.

¹⁵And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!

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

¹⁶They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] 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.
