¹Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

¹'Pange tähele, taevad, sest mina räägin, ja kuule, maa, mu suu kõnesid!

²My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My speech shall distil as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.

²Mu õpetus voolaku vihmana, mu kõne nõrgugu kastena, nagu haljusele vihmasagar ja rohule vihmapiisad!

³For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah: Ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

³Sest ma kuulutan Issanda nime, andke au meie Jumalale!

⁴The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are justice: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he.

⁴Tema on kalju, tema töö on täiuslik, sest kõik tema teed on õiged. Jumal on ustav ja temas pole väärust, tema on õige ja õiglane.

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his children, [it is] their blemish; [They are] a perverse and crooked generation.

⁵Pahasti on tehtud temaga - need ei ole tema lapsed: häbiplekk, nurjatu ja pöörane sugupõlv.

⁶Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? He hath made thee, and established thee.

⁶Kas te nõnda tasute Issandale, rumal ja tarkuseta rahvas? Eks ta ole su isa, sinu looja? Tema on sind teinud ja valmistanud.

⁷Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁷Meenuta muistseid päevi, pane tähele aastaid põlvest põlve! Küsi oma isalt, et ta jutustaks sulle, oma vanadelt, et nad räägiksid sulle!

⁸When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

⁸Kui Kõigekõrgem andis rahvaile pärisosa, kui ta jaotas inimlapsi, siis ta määras kindlaks rahvaste piirid vastavalt Iisraeli laste arvule,

⁹For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

⁹sest Issanda omand on tema rahvas, tema mõõdetud pärisosa on Jaakob.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, And in the waste howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he cared for him, He kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹⁰Ta leidis tema kõrbemaalt, tühjast paigast, uluvast kõrbest; ta võttis tema oma kaitse alla, hoolitses tema eest, ta hoidis teda nagu oma silmatera.

¹¹As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, That fluttereth over her young, He spread abroad his wings, he took them, He bare them on his pinions.

¹¹Nõnda nagu kotkas oma pesakonda lendu ergutades hõljub kaitstes oma poegade kohal, nõnda laotas ta oma tiivad, võttis tema ja kandis teda oma tiivasulgedel.

¹²Jehovah alone did lead him, And there was no foreign god with him.

¹²Issand üksi juhtis teda, ükski võõras jumal ei olnud koos temaga.

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he did eat the increase of the field; And he made him to suck honey out of the rock, And oil out of the flinty rock;

¹³Ta sõidutas teda üle maa kõrgendike ja tema sõi väljade vilju: ta imetas teda meega kaljust ja õliga ränikivist.

¹⁴Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.

¹⁴Võid veistelt ning piima lammastelt ja kitsedelt, juures tallede ja jäärade rasv; Baasani härgi ja sikke, lisaks nisu, otsekui neerurasv. Ja viinamarjaverest sa jõid veini.

¹⁵But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek; Then he forsook God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁵Ja Jesurun rasvus, aga muutus tõrksaks - sa läksid lihavaks, paksuks, täidlaseks - ta hülgas Jumala, oma looja, ja põlgas oma päästekaljut.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]; With abominations provoked they him to anger.

¹⁶Nad ärritasid teda võõraste jumalatega, nad vihastasid teda oma jäledustega.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons, [which were] no God, To gods that they knew not, To new [gods] that came up of late, Which your fathers dreaded not.

¹⁷Nad ohverdasid haldjaile, kes ei ole jumalad, jumalaile, keda nad ei tundnud, kes olid uued, äsja tulnud, kellest teie vanemad ei teadnud.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.

¹⁸Sa ei mäletanud kaljut, kes sinu sünnitas, ja unustasid Jumala, kes andis sulle elu.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw [it], and abhorred [them], Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

¹⁹Kui Issand seda nägi, siis ta põlastas neid tusast oma poegade ja tütarde pärast.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²⁰Ta ütles: Ma peidan oma palge nende eest ja vaatan, milline on nende lõpp, sest nad on pöörane sugu, lapsed, kelles ei ole truudust.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

²¹Nad on mind ärritanud nendega, kes ei ole jumalad, on mind vihastanud oma tühisustega. Aga mina ärritan neid rahvaga, kes ei ole rahvas: ma vihastan neid mõistmatute paganatega.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest Sheol, And devoureth the earth with its increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²²Sest mu vihatuli on süttinud põlema ja lõõmab hauasügavuseni; see hävitab maa koos saagiga ja põletab mägede alused.

²³I will heap evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them:

²³Ma kuhjan nende peale õnnetusi, ma raiskan nende vastu kõik oma nooled.

²⁴[They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.

²⁴Neid peab kurnama nälg, purema palavikutaud ja pahatõbi; ma saadan nende kallale metsaliste hambad ja põrmus roomajate mürgi.

²⁵Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; [It shall destroy] both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

²⁵Väljas laastab neid mõõk ja sees hirm, niihästi noormehi kui neidusid, imikuid koos hallipäiste meestega.

²⁶I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;

²⁶Ma oleksin ütelnud: Ma hajutan nad, ma kaotan nende mälestuse inimeste hulgast,

²⁷Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.

²⁷kui ma poleks pidanud kartma vaenlase pilget, et nende vastased seda mõistmata ei ütleks: 'Meie käsi on olnud võidukas, ega Issand ole kõike seda teinud!'

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

²⁸Sest see on rahvas, kes on kaotanud arukuse - neil ei ole taipu.

²⁹Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

²⁹Kui nad oleksid targad, siis nad taipaksid seda, nad mõistaksid oma lõppu.

³⁰How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

³⁰Kuidas võis üksainus jälitada tuhandet ja kaks kihutada põgenema kümme tuhat, kui mitte nende kalju ei oleks neid müünud ja Issand nad loovutanud?

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.

³¹Sest nende kalju ei ole meie kalju sarnane: seda võivad otsustada meie vaenlasedki.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter:

³²Tõesti, nende viinapuu on Soodoma viinapuust ja Gomorra väljadelt; nende marjad on mürgised marjad, neil on kibedad kobarad.

³³Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.

³³Nende vein on lohemürk, rästikute ohtlik mürk.

³⁴Is not this laid up in store with me, Sealed up among my treasures?

³⁴Eks see ole talletatud minu juures, pitseriga suletud minu varakambris?

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.

³⁵Minu käes on kättemaks ja tasumine ajaks, mil nende jalg vääratab. Jah, nende õnnetuse päev on ligidal ja mis neile on valmistatud, tõttab tulema.

³⁶For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he seeth that [their] power is gone, And there is none [remaining], shut up or left at large.

³⁶Sest Issand tahab mõista õigust oma rahvale ja halastada oma sulaste peale, kui ta näeb, et nende jõud on kadunud ja pole jäänud orja ega vaba.

³⁷And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;

³⁷Siis ta ütleb: Kus on nende jumalad, kalju, mille peal nad pelgupaika otsisid,

³⁸Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.

³⁸kes sõid nende tapaohvrite rasva ja jõid nende joogiohvrite veini? Tõusku nad nüüd üles ja aidaku teid, olgu nad teile varjupaigaks!

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

³⁹Nähke nüüd, et see olen mina, ainult mina, ega ole ühtki jumalat minu kõrval! Mina surman ja teen elavaks, mina purustan ja mina parandan ega ole kedagi, kes päästaks minu käest.

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever,

⁴⁰Sest ma tõstan oma käe taeva poole ja ütlen: Nii tõesti, kui ma igavesti elan:

⁴¹If I whet my glittering sword, And my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.

⁴¹kui ma olen ihunud oma välkuva mõõga ja mu käsi hakkab kohut pidama, siis ma maksan kätte oma vaenlastele ja tasun neile, kes mind vihkavad.

⁴²I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.

⁴²Ma lasen oma nooled joobuda verest ja mu mõõk hakkab õgima liha, mahalöödute ja vangide verd, vaenlaspealikute päid.

⁴³Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: For he will avenge the blood of his servants, And will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.

⁴³Ülistage, paganad, tema rahvast! Sest ta maksab kätte oma sulaste vere eest, tasub oma vastastele ja toimetab lepitust oma maale, oma rahvale.'

⁴⁴And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁴Ja Mooses tuli ning rääkis kõik selle laulu sõnad rahva kuuldes, tema ja Joosua, Nuuni poeg.

⁴⁵And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;

⁴⁵Kui Mooses oli rääkinud kõik need sõnad kogu Iisraelile,

⁴⁶And he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, [even] all the words of this law.

⁴⁶siis ta ütles neile: 'Võtke südamesse kõik need sõnad, mis ma täna teile kordan, mis te peate andma käsuna oma lastele, et nad teeksid hoolsasti selle Seaduse kõigi sõnade järgi!

⁴⁷For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁷Sest see ei ole tühine sõna, mis teile korda ei lähe, vaid see on teie elu, ja selle sõna läbi te pikendate oma päevi sellel maal, kuhu te lähete üle Jordani, et seda pärida.'

⁴⁸And Jehovah spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

⁴⁸Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega veel selsamal päeval, öeldes:

⁴⁹Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;

⁴⁹'Mine üles siia Abarimi mäele, Nebo mäele, mis on Moabimaal Jeeriko kohal, ja vaata Kaananimaad, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele päranduseks!

⁵⁰and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

⁵⁰Siis sa sured seal mäe peal, kuhu sa üles lähed, ja sind koristatakse oma rahva juurde, nagu suri su vend Aaron Hoori mäel ja koristati oma rahva juurde,

⁵¹because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵¹sellepärast et te ei olnud truud minule Iisraeli laste keskel Meriba vee juures Kaadesis, Siini kõrbes, sellepärast et te mind ei pidanud pühaks Iisraeli laste keskel.

⁵²For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.

⁵²Sa näed küll eemalt seda maad, aga sa ei pääse sinna, maale, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele.'
