¹Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.

¹Vaata, Issand laastab maa ja rüüstab selle, paiskab segi selle pinna ja pillutab elanikud.

²And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.

²Ja nagu rahvaga, nõnda sünnib preestriga, nagu sulasega, nõnda ta isandaga, nagu teenijaga, nõnda ta emandaga, nagu ostjaga, nõnda müüjaga, nagu laenuandjaga, nõnda laenajaga, nagu võlausaldajaga, nõnda võlgnikuga.

³Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:

³Maa laastatakse täiesti ja riisutakse sootuks, sest Issand on öelnud selle sõna.

⁴Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.

⁴Maa leinab, laostub, ilmamaa närbub, laostub, maa rahva ülikud rammestuvad.

⁵And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.

⁵Maa on rüvetunud oma elanike all, sest need on üle astunud Seadusest, muutnud seadlusi, murdnud igavese lepingu.

⁶Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.

⁶Seepärast neelab needus maa ja selle elanikud peavad kandma oma süüd; seepärast kahaneb maa elanike hulk ja vähe inimesi jääb järele.

⁷Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.

⁷Vein leinab, viinapuu kuivab, ägavad kõik, kes olid südamest rõõmsad.

⁸Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.

⁸Lõpeb trummide lõbu, lakkab hõiskajate lärm, kaob kandle rõõm.

⁹With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.

⁹Enam ei jooda lauldes veini, vägijook on joojale kibe.

¹⁰It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.

¹⁰Tühi linn purustatakse, kõik kojad suletakse, sissepääsu ei ole.

¹¹A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.

¹¹Tänavail karjutakse veini järele, kõik rõõm kaob, maa lust lahkub.

¹²Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.

¹²Linna jääb häving ja värav taotakse puruks.

¹³When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,

¹³Sest nõnda peab sündima keset maad, rahvaste keskel, otsekui õlipuu raputus, otsekui järelnoppimine pärast viinamarjalõikuse lõppu.

¹⁴They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.

¹⁴Need seal tõstavad häält, rõkatavad rõõmust, Issanda ülevuse tõttu hõiskavad lääne poolt:

¹⁵Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.

¹⁵'Seepärast austage ka ida pool Issandat, mere saartel Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nime.'

¹⁶From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, `Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, wo [is] to me.` Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.

¹⁶Maa äärest kuuleme kiituslaule: 'Austus õigele!' Aga mina ütlen: Kadu mulle, kadu mulle! Häda mulle, petised petavad, jah, petised petavad petise kombel!

¹⁷Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.

¹⁷Pelg, püügiauk ja püüdepael on su ees, maa elanik.

¹⁸And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.

¹⁸Kes siis põgeneb peletushüüu eest, langeb püügiauku; aga kes tuleb püügiaugust välja, selle püüab püüdepael. Sest kõrguse luugid avanevad ja maa alused vappuvad.

¹⁹Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.

¹⁹Maa põrub põrmuks, maa lõheneb lõhki, maa kõigub kõvasti.

²⁰Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.

²⁰Maa vaarub tugevasti, joobnu sarnaselt, ja vangub otsekui vahionn. Tema üleastumine lasub raskesti ta peal, ta langeb ega tõuse enam.

²¹And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.

²¹Sel päeval nuhtleb Issand kõrguse väehulki kõrgel ja maa kuningaid maa peal.

²²And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.

²²Need kogutakse kokku, kogutakse vangidena auku, suletakse vangitorni ja hulga aja pärast nuheldakse neid.

²³And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!

²³Siis on kuul häbi ja päike häbeneb, sest vägede Issand on kuningas Siioni mäel ja Jeruusalemmas, ja tema vanemate ees paistab auhiilgus.
