¹`Rejoice not, O Israel, be not joyful like the peoples, For thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a gift near all floors of corn.

¹Ära rõõmusta, Iisrael, ära hõiska nagu teised rahvad! Sest sa oled hoora viisil lahkunud oma Jumalast, oled armastanud hoorapalka kõigis rehealustes.

²Floor and wine-press do not delight them, And new wine doth fail in her,

²Rehi ja surutõrs neid ei toida ja veini ei pea neil olema.

³They do not abide in the land of Jehovah, And turned back hath Ephraim [to] Egypt, And in Asshur an unclean thing they eat.

³Nad ei saa jääda Issanda maale, vaid Efraim läheb tagasi Egiptusesse ja nad peavad Assuris sööma roojaseid asju.

⁴They pour not out wine to Jehovah, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It doth not come into the house of Jehovah.

⁴Seal nad ei kalla Issandale veini ja nende tapaohvrid pole talle meele järgi; nende leib on nagu leinaleib: kõik, kes seda söövad, rüvetavad endid; sest leiba on neil ainult eneste jaoks, Issanda kotta seda ei tule.

⁵What do ye at the day appointed? And at the day of Jehovah`s festival?

⁵Mida te teete pühade ajal, Issanda-püha päevadel?

⁶For, lo, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathereth them, Moph burieth them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them — a thorn [is] in their tents.

⁶Jah, vaata, nad peavad lahkuma laastamise pärast; neid kogub Egiptus, neid matab Memfis; umbrohi pärib nende hõbeasjad, nende telkides kasvavad ohakad.

⁷Come in have the days of inspection, Come in have the days of recompence, Israel doth know! a fool [is] the prophet, Mad [is] the man of the Spirit, Because of the abundance of thine iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.

⁷Katsumise päevad tulevad, kättemaksu päevad tulevad, Iisrael saab seda tunda. 'Prohvet on rumal, vaimumees on hull!' Et su süü on suur, siis on ka vaen suur.

⁸Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! a snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.

⁸Efraim luurab prohvetit, kes on mu Jumalaga. Kõigil ta teedel on linnupüüdja pael, ta Jumala kojas on vaenulikkus.

⁹They have gone deep — have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect their sins.

⁹Nad on sügavalt laostunud, otsekui Gibea päevil; aga tema mäletab nende süüd ja nuhtleb neid nende pattude eest.

¹⁰As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They — they have gone in [to] Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.

¹⁰Ma leidsin Iisraeli nagu viinamarjad kõrbes; nagu esimesed marjad noorel viigipuul, nõnda leidsin teie vanemad. Aga nad tulid Baal-Peori, pühendasid endid Häbile ja muutusid põlastusväärseiks nagu see, keda nad armastasid.

¹¹Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without birth, And without womb, and without conception.

¹¹Efraim - linnuna lendab ära nende au, enam ei ole sünnitust, rasedust ega eostust.

¹²For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless — without man, Surely also, wo to them, when I turn aside from them.

¹²Ja kuigi nad kasvataksid oma lapsed suureks, teen mina nad lastetuks, inimestest lahti. Tõesti, häda neile, kui ma neist eemaldun!

¹³Ephraim! when I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out unto a slayer his sons.

¹³Efraim, nagu ma näen, on palmiks, mis on istutatud vainule; aga Efraim peab viima oma lapsed tapja kätte.

¹⁴Give to them, Jehovah — what dost Thou give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.

¹⁴Anna neile, Issand, mida sa pidid andma: anna neile viljatu rüpp ja kuivetunud rinnad!

¹⁵All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I do drive them, I add not to love them, all their heads [are] apostates.

¹⁵Kõik nende kurjus on Gilgalis, seal hakkasin ma neid vihkama. Nende kurjade tegude pärast ajan ma nad ära oma kojast. Ma ei armasta neid enam: kõik nende vürstid on tõrksad.

¹⁶Ephraim hath been smitten, Their root hath dried up, fruit they yield not, Yea, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.

¹⁶Efraim lüüakse maha, nende juur kuivab, nad ei kanna vilja. Kui nad siiski sünnitaksid, surmaksin mina nende kalli ihuvilja.

¹⁷Reject them doth my God, Because they have not hearkened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!

¹⁷Minu Jumal hülgab nad, sest nad ei kuula teda. Neist saavad põgenikud paganate seas.
