¹Come near, ye nations, to hear, And ye peoples, give attention, Hear doth the earth and its fulness, The world, and all its productions.

¹Rahvad, astuge ligi kuulma, ja rahvahõimud, pange tähele! Kuulgu maa ja need, kes seda täidavad, maailm ja kõik, kes seal võrsuvad!

²For wrath [is] to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath given them to slaughter.

²Sest Issandal on raev kõigi rahvaste ja viha kõigi nende väehulkade vastu: ta on pannud need vande alla, ta on andnud need tapetavaiks.

³And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from their blood.

³Kes neist maha lüüakse, visatakse ära, nende laipadest tõuseb lehk, nende verest nõretavad mäed.

⁴And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.

⁴Kõik taevaväed kaovad, taevad keerduvad kokku otsekui rullraamat: kogu nende vägi variseb, nagu variseb viinapuust leht või viigipuust kuivanud mari.

⁵For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment.

⁵Sest mu mõõk on joobunud taevas, vaata, see langeb alla Edomi peale, minu poolt neetud rahva peale kohtumõistmiseks.

⁶A sword [is] to Jehovah — it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁶Issanda mõõk on verine, tilgub rasvast, tallede ja sikkude verest, jäärade neerurasvast, sest Issandal on ohver Bosras ja palju tapmist Edomimaal.

⁷And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.

⁷Metshärjadki langevad koos nendega, härjavärsid koos sõnnidega: nende maa joobub verest ja muld muutub rasvast rammusaks.

⁸(For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion`s strife,)

⁸Sest see on Issanda kättemaksupäev, tasumisaasta riiu eest Siioniga.

⁹And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land hath become burning pitch.

⁹Edomi jõed muutuvad tõrvaks, muld väävliks, ja ta maa on otsekui põlev tõrv.

¹⁰By night and by day she is not quenched, To the age go up doth her smoke, From generation to generation she is waste, For ever and ever, none is passing into her.

¹⁰See ei kustu ööl ega päeval, igavesti tõuseb selle suits. See jääb laastatuks põlvest põlve, iialgi ei käi keegi sealtkaudu.

¹¹And possess her do pelican and hedge-hog, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He hath stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.

¹¹Puguhani ja siil pärivad selle, öökull ja kaaren elutsevad seal; selle üle veetakse tühjuse mõõdunöör ja paljasoleku lood.

¹²[To] the kingdom her freemen they call, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.

¹²Seal ei ole enam ülikuid, et kedagi kuningaks kuulutada, ja kõik ta vürstid saavad otsa.

¹³And gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.

¹³Tema paleedes kasvavad kibuvitsad, linnustes nõgesed ja ohakad; see saab ðaakalite asukohaks ja jaanalindude pesitsuspaigaks.

¹⁴And met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And hath found for herself a place of rest.

¹⁴Kurjad vaimud kohtuvad seal sortsidega ja sikujalgne paharet hüüab seltsilist. Tõesti, seal viibib tont ja leiab enesele puhkepaiga.

¹⁵There made her nest hath the bittern, Yea, she layeth, and hath hatched, And hath gathered under her shadow, Only there gathered have been vultures, Each with its companion.

¹⁵Seal pesitseb süstmadu, muneb, haub pojad välja, ja kogub oma varju alla. Tõesti, sinna kogunevad raisakotkad, igaüks oma paarilisega.

¹⁶Seek out of the book of Jehovah, and read, One of these hath not been lacking, None hath missed its companion, For My mouth — it hath commanded, And His spirit — He hath gathered them.

¹⁶Uurige Issanda raamatust ja lugege: ükski neist ei ole puudu, ükski neist ei ole teist kaotanud, sest tema on oma suu kaudu andnud käsu ja tema Vaim on need kogunud.

¹⁷And He hath cast for them a lot, And His hand hath apportioned [it] to them by line, Unto the age they possess it, To all generations they dwell in it!

¹⁷Tema on neile liisku heitnud, tema käsi on selle neile mõõdunööriga jaotanud: nad pärivad selle igaveseks, nad elavad seal põlvest põlve.
