¹Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for [it is] near!

¹Puhuge sarve Siionis, tõstke häält mu pühal mäel! Värisegu kõik maa elanikud, sest Issanda päev tuleb, see on ligidal,

²A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old, And after it there is not again — till the years of generation and generation.

²pime ja must päev, pilvine ja sünge päev! Nõnda nagu koit laotub mägedele, tuleb suur ja vägev rahvas, kelle sarnast pole olnud igiaegadest alates ega tule ka enam pärast teda, tulevaste põlvede aastateni.

³Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness — a desolation! And also an escape there hath not been to it,

³Tema ees käib hävitav tuli ja tema taga kõrvetav leek; tema ees on maa otsekui Eedeni aed, aga tema taga on tühi kõrb ja ei olegi pääsu tema eest.

⁴As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.

⁴Neil on otse hobuste välimus ja nad jooksevad kui sõjaratsud.

⁵As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.

⁵Otsekui sõjavankrite mürinal kihutavad nad üle mäeharjade, mühinal, kõrsi põletava tuleleegi moel, vägeva rahva sarnaselt, kes on valmis tapluseks.

⁶From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness.

⁶Nende ees värisevad rahvad, kahvatuvad kõik palged.

⁷As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall, And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not their paths.

⁷Nad ruttavad nagu võitlejad, ronivad müüridele nagu sõdurid. Igaüks käib oma teed ega muuda oma rada.

⁸And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off.

⁸Üks ei tõuka teist, igaüks käib oma teed; nad sööstavad peatumata viskodade vahelt läbi.

⁹In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.

⁹Nad tormavad linna, jooksevad müürile, ronivad kodadesse, tungivad akendest sisse nagu varas.

¹⁰At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

¹⁰Nende ees väriseb maa, põrub taevas, päike ja kuu lähevad mustaks ja tähed kaotavad oma sära.

¹¹And Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force, For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah — very fearful, And who doth bear it?

¹¹Ja Issand laseb oma häält kõlada oma sõjaväe ees, sest tema leer on väga suur. Tõesti, vägev on tema käsutäitja, sest Issanda päev on suur ja väga kardetav, kes suudaks seda taluda?

¹²And also now — an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.

¹²Aga veel nüüdki ütleb Issand: Pöörduge minu poole kõigest südamest, paastudes, nuttes ja kurtes!

¹³And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil.

¹³Käristage lõhki oma süda, aga mitte oma riided, ja pöörduge Issanda, oma Jumala poole, sest tema on armuline ja halastaja, pika meelega ja rikas heldusest, ja tema kahetseb kurja!

¹⁴Who knoweth — He doth turn back, Yea — He hath repented, And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation of Jehovah your God?

¹⁴Kes teab, vahest ta pöördub ja kahetseb ja jätab enese järele õnnistuse, nii et te saate tuua roaohvrit ja joogiohvrit Issandale, oma Jumalale?

¹⁵Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast — proclaim a restraint.

¹⁵Puhuge sarve Siionis, pühitsege paastupüha, kutsuge kokku pühalik koosolek!

¹⁶Gather the people, sanctify an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Go out let a bridegroom from his inner chamber, And a bride out of her closet.

¹⁶Koguge rahvas, pühitsege kogudust, tooge kokku vanemad, koguge lapsed ja imikud, peigmees tulgu välja oma toast ja pruut oma kambrist!

¹⁷Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: `Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?`

¹⁷Eeskoja ja altari vahel nutku preestrid, Issanda teenrid, ja öelgu: Säästa, Issand, oma rahvast, ja ära anna oma pärisosa teotuseks, paganaile pilgata! Miks peaks rahvaste seas öeldama: Kus on nüüd nende Jumal?'

¹⁸And let Jehovah be zealous for His land, And have pity on His people.

¹⁸Siis Issand hoolitseb oma maa eest ja tunneb oma rahvale kaasa.

¹⁹Let Jehovah answer and say to His people, `Lo, I am sending to you the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And ye have been satisfied with it, And I make you no more a reproach among nations,

¹⁹Ja Issand kostab ning ütleb oma rahvale: 'Vaata, ma läkitan teile vilja, veini ja õli, et teil on seda kõike küllalt. Ma ei anna teid enam teotuseks paganate sekka.

²⁰And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath exerted himself to work.

²⁰Ja selle põhja poolt tulija ajan ma teist kaugele, hajutan ta kuivale ja tühjale maale, ta eelväe Idamerre, ta järelväe Läänemerre; ja temast tõuseb hais, tõuseb roiskumise lehk, sellepärast et ta tahtis teha suuri asju.

²¹Do not fear, O land! joy and rejoice, For Jehovah hath exerted Himself to work.

²¹Ära karda, maa! Hõiska ja rõõmusta, sest Issand teeb suuri asju!

²²Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit, Fig-tree and vine have given their strength!

²²Ärge kartke, välja loomad, sest kõrbe rohumaad löövad haljendama ja puud hakkavad vilja kandma, viigi- ja viinapuud kannavad külluslikult!

²³And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God, For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered — in the beginning.

²³Ja teie, Siioni lapsed, hõisake ja rõõmustage Issandas, oma Jumalas, sest tema annab teile õiglaselt varajast vihma, saadab vihma teile alla, varajase ja hilise vihma nagu ennegi!

²⁴And full have been the floors [with] pure corn, And overflown have the presses [with] new wine and oil.

²⁴Siis saavad rehealused täis nisu ning tõrred voolavad üle veinist ja õlist.

²⁵And I have recompensed to you the years That consume did the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against you.

²⁵Ja ma tasun teile nende aastate eest, kui saagi sõid rohutirtsud, vastsed, mardikad ja röövikud - see mu suur sõjavägi, kelle ma läkitasin teie kallale.

²⁶And ye have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt with you wonderfully, And not ashamed are My people to the age.

²⁶Te saate küllalt süüa, te sööte kõhud täis, ja kiidate Issandat, oma Jumalat, kes teiega on talitanud imepäraselt. Jah, mu rahvas ei jää igavesti häbisse.

²⁷And ye have known that in the midst of Israel [am] I, And I [am] Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed are My people to the age.

²⁷Ja te saate tunda, et mina olen Iisraeli keskel, et mina, Issand, olen teie Jumal ja ei keegi teine. Jah, mu rahvas ei jää igavesti häbisse.

²⁸And it hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions.

²⁹And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.

³⁰And I have given wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, Blood and fire, and columns of smoke.

³¹The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.

³²And it hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants whom Jehovah is calling!
