¹[Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

¹Olgu sul pasun huultel! Issanda koja peale langeb otsekui kotkas. Sest nad on rikkunud mu lepingut ja on hakanud vastu mu Seadusele.

²They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee.

²Nad kisendavad küll minu poole: 'Mu Jumal! Meie, Iisrael, tunneme sind!'

³Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

³Iisrael on hüljanud hea, vaenlane ajab teda taga.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

⁴Nad on seadnud kuningaid, aga mitte minu poolt; nad on seadnud vürste, aga mina ei teagi; oma hõbedast ja kullast on nad teinud enestele ebajumalaid, et saada hävitatud.

⁵He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

⁵Samaaria! Su vasikas tõugatakse ära! Mu viha põleb nende vastu. Kui kaua on nad võimetud puhastuseks?

⁶For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁶Sest ka see on tulnud Iisraelist, sepp on selle teinud, see ei ole jumal. Kildudeks lüüakse Samaaria vasikas.

⁷For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

⁷Jah, nad külvavad tuult ja lõikavad tormi. Kõrrel pole kasvu, see ei anna jahu; või kui annabki, siis neelavad selle võõrad.

⁸Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein none delighteth.

⁸Iisrael on ära neelatud. Nüüd on nad paganate seas nagu kõlbmatu astja.

⁹For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

⁹Sest nad on läinud Assurisse nagu üksik metseesel. Efraim on jaganud armukingitusi.

¹⁰Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.

¹⁰Kuigi nad jagavad neid paganate seas, kogun mina neid nüüd; ja nad hakkavad vähenema kuninga ja vürstide koorma all.

¹¹Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning.

¹¹Et Efraim on patu tegemiseks ehitanud palju altareid, siis on altarid saanud temale patuks.

¹²I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing.

¹²Kuigi ma kirjutan temale väga palju oma seadusi, peetakse neid võõraks asjaks.

¹³As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Jehovah accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.

¹³Nad ohverdavad mu ohvriandide ohvreid ja söövad selle liha; Issandal pole neist hea meel. Nüüd mõtleb ta nende süüle ja nuhtleb nende patte: nad peavad pöörduma tagasi Egiptusesse.

¹⁴For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.

¹⁴Iisrael unustas oma Looja ja ehitas paleesid, ka Juuda ehitas palju kindlustatud linnu; aga mina saadan ta linnadesse tule ja see neelab ta suured hooned.
