¹Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

¹Ma tahan nüüd laulda oma armsamast, mu armsama laulu tema viinamäest. Mu armsamal on viinamägi viljakal mäenõlvakul.

²and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

²Ta kaevas ja puhastas kividest ning istutas häid viinapuid; ta ehitas selle keskele torni, ta raius sinna ka surutõrre. Siis ta ootas, et see kasvataks häid kobaraid, ent kängunud olid kobarad, mida see andis.

³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

³Ja nüüd, Jeruusalemma elanikud ja Juuda mehed, mõistke ometi kohut minu ja mu viinamäe vahel!

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

⁴Kas oleks olnud vaja teha mu viinamäega veel midagi, mida olin jätnud tegemata? Miks ma ootasin, et ta kasvatab häid kobaraid, kuna ta andis kängunud kobaraid?

⁵And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

⁵Aga nüüd tahan ma ometi teha teile teatavaks, mida ma teen oma viinamäega: ma kisun maha ta aia, ja ta jääb laastatavaks, ma lammutan ta müüri, ja ta jääb tallatavaks.

⁶and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁶Nõnda ma hävitan ta. Teda ei kärbita ega rohita, ta kasvatab kibuvitsu ja ohakaid ja ma keelan pilvi temale vihma andmast.

⁷For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.

⁷Sest Iisraeli sugu on vägede Issanda viinamägi ja Juuda mehed tema lemmikistandik. Ta ootas õigust, aga vaata, tuli õigusetus; õiglust, aga vaata, tuli hädakisa.

⁸Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

⁸Häda neile, kes reastavad koja kõrvale koja ja lisavad põllule põllu, kuni enam ei jää üle paikagi, vaid üksnes teie elate maal!

⁹In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

⁹Mu kõrvus on: Vägede Issand, tõesti, paljud kojad jäävad tühjaks, suured ja kaunid elanikest lagedaks.

¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah.

¹⁰Sest kümme adramaad viinamäge annab ainult üheksa kannu ja viiest vakast seemnest saab pool vakka.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!

¹¹Häda neile, kes tõusevad hommikul vara, et jahtida vägijooki, kes viidavad aega hilja ööni, kuni vein paneb nad õhetama.

¹²And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are [in] their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹²Kandled ja naablid, trummid ja viled ja vein on nende joominguil, aga Issanda tegusid nad ei märka ja tema kätetööd nad ei näe.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

¹³Sellepärast läheb mu rahvas ootamatult vangi, tema auväärsed mehed näevad nälga ja ta rahvahulgad närbuvad janust.

¹⁴Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend [into it].

¹⁴Sellepärast avab ennast surmavald ja ajab oma suu otsatult pärani: alla peab astuma niihästi hiilgus kui rüsin, niihästi lärm kui rõõmurõkatus.

¹⁵And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:

¹⁵Inimene painutatakse ja mees heidetakse maha ning suureliste silmad alandatakse.

¹⁶but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁶Aga vägede Issand on kohtus kõrge ja Püha Jumal osutub pühaks õigluses.

¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.

¹⁷Ja seal käivad talled karjas kui oma karjamaal ja rusude vahel söövad võõrad.

¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;

¹⁸Häda neile, kes nööridega tõmbavad enese peale süüd ja otse vankriköitega pattu,

¹⁹that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

¹⁹kes ütlevad: 'Tõtaku tema, tehku kiiresti, et me saaksime näha, ja liginegu ning tulgu Iisraeli Püha nõu, et me saaksime teada!'

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²⁰Häda neile, kes hüüavad kurja heaks ja head kurjaks, kes teevad pimeduse valguseks ja valguse pimeduseks, kes teevad kibeda magusaks ja magusa kibedaks!

²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

²¹Häda neile, kes on iseenese silmis targad ja iseenese meelest arukad!

²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;

²²Häda neile, kes on vägevad veini jooma ja vahvad mehed vägijooki segama,

²³that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

²³kes meelehea eest annavad õiguse süüdlastele ja võtavad õiguse õigetelt!

²⁴Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁴Sellepärast - nagu tulekeel sööb kõrsi ja kuluhein vajub kokku leegis, nõnda kõduneb nende juur ja nende õied muutuvad tolmuks, sest nad on hüljanud vägede Issanda Seaduse ja on põlanud Iisraeli Püha sõna.

²⁵Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²⁵Sellepärast on Issanda viha süttinud põlema oma rahva vastu: ta sirutas oma käe tema kohale ja lõi teda, nõnda et mäed vabisesid ja nende laibad olid otsekui sõnnik keset tänavaid. Selle kõige juures ei ole ta viha ära pöördunud ja ta käsi on alles välja sirutatud.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.

²⁶Ja ta tõstab lipu kaugele rahvale, vilistab teda maa äärest, ja vaata, see tuleb kiiresti tõtates.

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁷Keegi neist ei ole väsinud ja keegi ei komista, ei tuku ega maga; kellelgi ei vallandu vöö vöölt ega katke jalatsipael.

²⁸whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:

²⁸Nende nooled on teritatud ja kõik nende ammud on vinnas; nende hobuste kabjad on nagu tulekivi ja nende rattad nagu tuulispea.

²⁹their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.

²⁹Nende möirgamine on otsekui emalõvi möirgamine, nad möirgavad nagu noored lõvid; nad urisevad ja haaravad saagi ning viivad oma teed, ja päästjat ei ole.

³⁰And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness [and] distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.

³⁰Ja sel päeval on tema kohal mürin otsekui meremüha, ja kui vaadata maale, ennäe, siis on seal ahastuse pimedus ja pilv pimendab valguse.
