¹`Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.

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

²To Me they cry, `My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.`

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

³Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.

³Iisrael on hüljanud hea, vaenlane ajab teda taga.

⁴They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are 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.

⁵Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?

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

⁶For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

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

⁷For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do 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 hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.

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

⁹For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

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

¹⁰Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

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

¹¹Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.

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

¹²I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.

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

¹³The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.

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.

¹⁴And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!

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.
