¹And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts, saying:

¹Siis tuli see vägede Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

²`Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her.

²'Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Mul on suur püha viha Siioni pärast, mul on suur tuline viha tema pärast.

³Thus said Jehovah: I have turned back unto Zion, And I have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem hath been called `The city of truth,` And the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, `The holy mountain.`

³Nõnda ütleb Issand: Ma pöördun tagasi Siionisse ja elan Jeruusalemma keskel; Jeruusalemma nimetatakse siis ustavaks linnaks ja vägede Issanda mäge pühaks mäeks.

⁴Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again dwell do old men and old women, In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his hand, Because of abundance of days.

⁴Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Vanad mehed ja vanad naised istuvad jälle Jeruusalemma turgudel, igaühel kepp käes elupäevade rohkuse tõttu.

⁵And broad places of the city are full of boys and girls, Playing in its broad places.

⁵Ja linna turud on täis poisse ja tüdrukuid, kes mängivad tema turgudel.

⁶Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in Mine eyes it is wonderful, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

⁶Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Kuigi see on neil päevil ime selle rahva jäägi silmis, kas peaks see olema ime ka minu silmis? küsib vägede Issand.

⁷Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am saving My people from the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of the sun,

⁷Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Vaata, mina päästan oma rahva päikesetõusu maalt ja päikeseloojaku maalt.

⁸And I have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, In truth and in righteousness.

⁸Ja mina toon nad tagasi Jeruusalemma elama: nad on mulle rahvaks ja mina olen neile Jumalaks, ustav ja õiglane.

⁹Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath been founded, the temple [is] to be built.

⁹Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Olgu teil käed tugevad, teil, kes te neil päevil kuulete neid sõnu prohvetite suust, ajal, kui vägede Issanda kojale, templile alus rajatakse, et seda üles ehitada.

¹⁰For, before those days there hath been no hiring of man, Yea, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of the adversary, And I send all men — each against his neighbour.

¹⁰Sest enne neid päevi ei olnud inimesel ega loomal kasu tööst, ei olnud ka minejal ega tulijal rahu vaenlase eest, ja ma ajasin kõik inimesed üksteise vastu.

¹¹And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

¹¹Aga nüüd ei ole ma selle rahva jäägile enam selline nagu endisil päevil, ütleb vägede Issand,

¹²Because of the sowing of peace, The vine doth give her fruit, And the earth doth give her increase, And the heavens do give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To inherit all these.

¹²vaid külv peab õnnestuma: viinapuu annab vilja, maa annab saaki, taevas annab kastet, ja selle kõik annan ma pärisosaks selle rahva jäägile.

¹³And it hath come to pass, As ye have been a reviling among nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you, and ye have been a blessing, Do not fear, let your hands be strong.

¹³Ja nagu te olete olnud needuseks paganate seas, Juuda sugu ja Iisraeli sugu nõndasamuti - kui ma teid päästan, saate te õnnistuseks. Ärge kartke, teie käed olgu tugevad!

¹⁴For, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, As I did purpose to do evil to you, When your fathers made Me wroth, Said Jehovah of Hosts, and I did not repent,

¹⁴Sest nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Nagu ma mõtlesin teile kurja teha, kui teie vanemad mind vihastasid, ütleb vägede Issand, ja ma ei kahetsenud seda,

¹⁵So I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah — fear not!

¹⁵nõnda mõtlen ma neil päevil jälle head teha Jeruusalemmale ja Juuda soole. Ärge kartke!

¹⁶These [are] the things that ye do: Speak ye truth each with his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge in your gates,

¹⁶Need on sõnad, mis te peate täitma: rääkige üksteisele tõtt, mõistke oma väravais kohut tões ja rahus!

¹⁷And each the evil of his neighbour ye do not devise in your heart, And a false oath ye do not love, For all these [are] things that I have hated, An affirmation of Jehovah.`

¹⁷Ärge hauduge südames üksteisele kurja ja ärge armastage valevandumist, sest kõike seda ma vihkan, ütleb Issand!'

¹⁸And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying:

¹⁸Ja mulle tuli vägede Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

¹⁹`Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth [months], are to the house of Judah for joy and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed seasons, and the truth and the peace they have loved.

¹⁹'Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Neljanda kuu paast, viienda kuu paast, seitsmenda kuu paast ja kümnenda kuu paast olgu Juuda soole lustiks ja rõõmuks ning meeldivaiks pühiks! Aga armastage tõtt ja rahu!

²⁰Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet come do peoples, and inhabitants of many cities,

²⁰Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Veel tuleb rahvaid ja paljude linnade elanikke,

²¹Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of Hosts — I go, even I.

²¹ja ühe linna elanikud lähevad teise juurde ning ütlevad: 'Tulge, lähme leevendama Issanda palet ja otsima vägede Issandat! Minagi lähen!'

²²Yea, come in have many peoples, and mighty nations, To seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of Jehovah.

²²Ja paljud rahvad ning vägevad paganad tulevad Jeruusalemma otsima vägede Issandat ja leevendama Issanda palet.

²³Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: In those days take hold do ten men of all languages of the nations, Yea, they have taken hold on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying: We go with you, for we heard God [is] with you!

²³Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand: Neil päevil sünnib, et kümme meest igakeelsete paganate hulgast haaravad kinni Juuda mehe hõlmast ja ütlevad: 'Me tahame minna koos teiega, sest me oleme kuulnud, et teiega on Jumal.''
