¹When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without.

¹Kui ma teen Iisraeli terveks, siis saavad avalikuks Efraimi süüd ja Samaaria kuriteod; sest nad teevad pettust, varas tungib sisse ja väljas rüüstavad röövlid.

²And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.

²Aga nad ei mõtle oma südames, et ma pean meeles kõik nende kuriteod; nüüd ümbritsevad neid nende teod, need on minu palge ees.

³They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

³Oma kurjusega rõõmustavad nad kuningat ja oma valedega vürste.

⁴They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened.

⁴Nad kõik on abielurikkujad; nad on nagu küdev küpsetusahi, mille tule pagar jätab kohendamata taigna sõtkumisest hapnemiseni.

⁵On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers.

⁵Meie kuninga päeval on vürstid hõõguvast veinist haiged. Ta lööb pilkajatega kätt.

⁶For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

⁶Sest need on tulnud lähedale, nende süda on varitsemises nagu kuum küpsetusahi; nende pagar magab kogu öö, aga hommikul lööb lõkkele otsekui tuleleek.

⁷They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

⁷Nad kõik on kuumad nagu küpsetusahi ja nad neelavad oma kohtumõistjad; kõik nende kuningad langevad, ükski neist ei hüüa minu poole.

⁸Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

⁸Efraim seguneb rahvaste hulka; Efraim on nagu kook, millel ei ole pööratud teist külge.

⁹Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.

⁹Võõrad söövad ta jõu, aga tema ise ei märkagi; ta juustesse on puistatud halli, aga tema ise ei teagi.

¹⁰And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this.

¹⁰Iisraeli kõrkus tunnistab tema enese vastu; nad ei pöördu Issanda, oma Jumala poole ega otsi teda kõigest hoolimata.

¹¹And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.

¹¹Efraim on otsekui tuvi, kohtlane ja taipamatu; nad kutsuvad Egiptust, nad lähevad Assurisse.

¹²When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.

¹²Aga kui nad lähevad, siis ma laotan nende peale oma võrgu, ma toon nad alla nagu taeva linnud; ma karistan neid, nagu nende koguduses on kuulutatud.

¹³Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.

¹³Häda neile, sest nad põgenevad minu juurest! Hukatus neile, sest nad astuvad üles minu vastu! Mina tahtsin neid lunastada, aga nemad räägivad mu kohta valet.

¹⁴And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.

¹⁴Nad ei hüüa südamest minu poole, vaid uluvad oma asemeil. Nad lõikavad endile leinamärke ihusse vilja ja veini pärast, aga minu vastu tõstavad nad mässu.

¹⁵Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me.

¹⁵Mina olen juhtinud ja kinnitanud nende käsivarsi, aga nemad kavatsevad minu vastu kurja.

¹⁶They return, but not to [him that is] on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

¹⁶Nad pöörduvad, aga mitte ülespoole, nad on otsekui lõtv amb. Nende vürstid langevad mõõga läbi oma pilkava keele pärast: sellepärast pilgatakse neid Egiptusemaal.
