¹Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars.

¹Iisrael on vohav viinapuu, mis kasvatab oma vilja; aga mida viljakam ta on, seda rohkem tuleb altareid; mida parem on ta maa, seda kaunimaid sambaid püstitatakse.

²Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their pillars.

²Nende süda on valelik, nüüd peavad nad kandma karistust: nende altarid purustatakse, nende sambad hävitatakse.

³Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?

³Sest nad ütlevad nüüd: 'Meil ei ole kuningat vaja! Kuna me ei karda Issandat, siis mida saaks kuningaski teha meie heaks?'

⁴They speak [vain] words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

⁴Kuningad teevad sõnu, vannuvad valet, sõlmivad lepinguid - aga kohus nende üle võrsub otsekui mürgirohi igal põlluvaol.

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

⁵Beet-Aaveni vasikate pärast halisevad Samaaria elanikud; tõesti, selle pärast leinab ta rahvas ja uluvad ta preestrid, et neilt võetakse nende au.

⁶It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

⁶Ka vasikas ise viiakse Assurisse, kingituseks suurkuningale. Häbi valdab Efraimi ja Iisrael jääb häbisse oma nõu pärast.

⁷[As for] Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water.

⁷Samaaria hävitatakse, ta kuningas on nagu vaht vee peal.

⁸The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

⁸Aaveni ohvrikünkad, Iisraeli patt, hävitatakse ära; nende altareil kasvavad kibuvitsad ja ohakad. Siis nad ütlevad mägedele: 'Katke meid!' ja mäekinkudele: 'Langege meie peale!'

⁹O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; the battle against the children of iniquity doth not overtake them in Gibeah.

⁹Alates Gibea päevist oled sa teinud pattu, Iisrael! Sinna on nad jäänud peatuma. Kas Gibeas ei saa neid kätte sõda sõnakuulmatute laste vastu?

¹⁰When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.

¹⁰Oma himu järgi ma karistan neid, ja rahvad kogunevad nende vastu, kui neid karistatakse nende kahekordse süüteo pärast.

¹¹And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out [the grain]; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods.

¹¹Efraim on õpetatud härjavärss, kes armastab pahmast tallata; aga mina panen ikke tema kauni kaela peale. Mina rakendan Efraimi, Juuda peab kündma, Jaakob äestama!

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

¹²Külvake enestele õiguseks, lõigake vastavalt vagadusele; rajage enestele uudismaad, sest aeg on otsida Issandat, kuni ta tuleb ja õpetab teile õigust!

¹³Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

¹³Te olete kündnud õelust, lõiganud ülekohut, söönud valede vilja. Sest sa oled lootnud oma tee peale, oma paljude kangelaste peale.

¹⁴Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.

¹⁴Seepärast tõuseb su rahva keskel sõjakära ja kõik su kindlused hävitatakse, nõnda nagu Salman hävitas sõjaajal Beet-Arbeli: emad koos lastega rebiti tükkideks.

¹⁵So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.

¹⁵Nõnda on teinud teile Peetel teie väga suure kurjuse pärast; koiduajal hukkub kindlasti Iisraeli kuningas.
