¹Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king; for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

¹Kuulge seda, preestrid, ja pane tähele, Iisraeli sugu! Kuulata, kuninglik koda! Sest teid tabab kohus. Jah, te olete püüdepaelaks Mispale ja võrguks, mis on laotatud Taabori peale.

²And the revolters are gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all.

²Te süvendate Sittimi kõlvatust, aga mina karistan teid kõiki.

³I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast played the harlot, Israel is defiled.

³Mina tunnen Efraimi ja Iisrael ei ole mu eest varjul; sest nüüd, Efraim, oled sa teinud hooratööd, Iisrael on ennast roojastanud.

⁴Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not Jehovah.

⁴Nende teod ei luba neil pöörduda oma Jumala poole, sest nende sees on hooruse vaim ja nad ei tunne Issandat.

⁵And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.

⁵Iisraeli kõrkus tunnistab temale otse näkku, Iisrael ja Efraim komistavad oma süü läbi, Juudagi komistab koos nendega.

⁶They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

⁶Oma lammaste ja härgadega lähevad nad küll otsima Issandat, aga nad ei leia teda: ta on tõmbunud neist eemale.

⁷They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.

⁷Nad on olnud Issanda vastu truuduseta, sest nad on sünnitanud võõraid lapsi. Nüüd neelab 'noorkuu' neid koos nende põldudega.

⁸Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin.

⁸Puhuge sarve Gibeas, pasunat Raamas! Tõstke sõjakisa Beet-Aavenis! Juba ollakse sul kannul, Benjamin!

⁹Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

⁹Efraim muutub karistuspäeval kõrbeks. Iisraeli suguharude keskel ma kuulutan tõde.

¹⁰The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

¹⁰Juuda vürstid on saanud piirinihutajate sarnaseks; ma valan nende peale oma viha nagu vett.

¹¹Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after [man's] command.

¹¹Efraimile on liiga tehtud, õigus on rikutud, sest ta tahab käia käsu järgi.

¹²Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

¹²Aga mina olen Efraimile nagu koi ja Juuda soole nagu mädanik.

¹³When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.

¹³Kui Efraim nägi oma haigust ja Juuda oma paiset, siis läks Efraim Assurisse ja läkitas suurkuninga juurde; aga tema ei suutnud teha teid terveks ega ravida teid paisetest.

¹⁴For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

¹⁴Sest mina olen Efraimile nagu lõvi ja Juuda soole nagu noor lõvi: mina murran nad maha ja lähen, kannan ära, ja päästjat ei ole.

¹⁵I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.

¹⁵Ma lähen, pöördun tagasi oma asupaika, kuni nad kahetsevad ja otsivad mu palet; oma kitsikuses otsivad nad mind.
