¹'Pange tähele, taevad, sest mina räägin, ja kuule, maa, mu suu kõnesid!

¹Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!

²Mu õpetus voolaku vihmana, mu kõne nõrgugu kastena, nagu haljusele vihmasagar ja rohule vihmapiisad!

²My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.

³Sest ma kuulutan Issanda nime, andke au meie Jumalale!

³For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!

⁴Tema on kalju, tema töö on täiuslik, sest kõik tema teed on õiged. Jumal on ustav ja temas pole väärust, tema on õige ja õiglane.

⁴[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A ùGod of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.

⁵Pahasti on tehtud temaga - need ei ole tema lapsed: häbiplekk, nurjatu ja pöörane sugupõlv.

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: -- A crooked and perverted generation!

⁶Kas te nõnda tasute Issandale, rumal ja tarkuseta rahvas? Eks ta ole su isa, sinu looja? Tema on sind teinud ja valmistanud.

⁶Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?

⁷Meenuta muistseid päevi, pane tähele aastaid põlvest põlve! Küsi oma isalt, et ta jutustaks sulle, oma vanadelt, et nad räägiksid sulle!

⁷Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁸Kui Kõigekõrgem andis rahvaile pärisosa, kui ta jaotas inimlapsi, siis ta määras kindlaks rahvaste piirid vastavalt Iisraeli laste arvule,

⁸When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

⁹sest Issanda omand on tema rahvas, tema mõõdetud pärisosa on Jaakob.

⁹For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁰Ta leidis tema kõrbemaalt, tühjast paigast, uluvast kõrbest; ta võttis tema oma kaitse alla, hoolitses tema eest, ta hoidis teda nagu oma silmatera.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.

¹¹Nõnda nagu kotkas oma pesakonda lendu ergutades hõljub kaitstes oma poegade kohal, nõnda laotas ta oma tiivad, võttis tema ja kandis teda oma tiivasulgedel.

¹¹As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,

¹²Issand üksi juhtis teda, ükski võõras jumal ei olnud koos temaga.

¹²So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange ùgod [was] with him.

¹³Ta sõidutas teda üle maa kõrgendike ja tema sõi väljade vilju: ta imetas teda meega kaljust ja õliga ränikivist.

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;

¹⁴Võid veistelt ning piima lammastelt ja kitsedelt, juures tallede ja jäärade rasv; Baasani härgi ja sikke, lisaks nisu, otsekui neerurasv. Ja viinamarjaverest sa jõid veini.

¹⁴Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.

¹⁵Ja Jesurun rasvus, aga muutus tõrksaks - sa läksid lihavaks, paksuks, täidlaseks - ta hülgas Jumala, oma looja, ja põlgas oma päästekaljut.

¹⁵Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked -- Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; -- He gave up +God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁶Nad ärritasid teda võõraste jumalatega, nad vihastasid teda oma jäledustega.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.

¹⁷Nad ohverdasid haldjaile, kes ei ole jumalad, jumalaile, keda nad ei tundnud, kes olid uued, äsja tulnud, kellest teie vanemad ei teadnud.

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons who are not +God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.

¹⁸Sa ei mäletanud kaljut, kes sinu sünnitas, ja unustasid Jumala, kes andis sulle elu.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten ùGod who brought thee forth.

¹⁹Kui Issand seda nägi, siis ta põlastas neid tusast oma poegade ja tütarde pärast.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.

²⁰Ta ütles: Ma peidan oma palge nende eest ja vaatan, milline on nende lõpp, sest nad on pöörane sugu, lapsed, kelles ei ole truudust.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²¹Nad on mind ärritanud nendega, kes ei ole jumalad, on mind vihastanud oma tühisustega. Aga mina ärritan neid rahvaga, kes ei ole rahvas: ma vihastan neid mõistmatute paganatega.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no ùGod; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.

²²Sest mu vihatuli on süttinud põlema ja lõõmab hauasügavuseni; see hävitab maa koos saagiga ja põletab mägede alused.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.

²³Ma kuhjan nende peale õnnetusi, ma raiskan nende vastu kõik oma nooled.

²³I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.

²⁴Neid peab kurnama nälg, purema palavikutaud ja pahatõbi; ma saadan nende kallale metsaliste hambad ja põrmus roomajate mürgi.

²⁴They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.

²⁵Väljas laastab neid mõõk ja sees hirm, niihästi noormehi kui neidusid, imikuid koos hallipäiste meestega.

²⁵From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror -- Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

²⁶Ma oleksin ütelnud: Ma hajutan nad, ma kaotan nende mälestuse inimeste hulgast,

²⁶I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

²⁷kui ma poleks pidanud kartma vaenlase pilget, et nende vastased seda mõistmata ei ütleks: 'Meie käsi on olnud võidukas, ega Issand ole kõike seda teinud!'

²⁷If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.

²⁸Sest see on rahvas, kes on kaotanud arukuse - neil ei ole taipu.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.

²⁹Kui nad oleksid targad, siis nad taipaksid seda, nad mõistaksid oma lõppu.

²⁹Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!

³⁰Kuidas võis üksainus jälitada tuhandet ja kaks kihutada põgenema kümme tuhat, kui mitte nende kalju ei oleks neid müünud ja Issand nad loovutanud?

³⁰How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

³¹Sest nende kalju ei ole meie kalju sarnane: seda võivad otsustada meie vaenlasedki.

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.

³²Tõesti, nende viinapuu on Soodoma viinapuust ja Gomorra väljadelt; nende marjad on mürgised marjad, neil on kibedad kobarad.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;

³³Nende vein on lohemürk, rästikute ohtlik mürk.

³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.

³⁴Eks see ole talletatud minu juures, pitseriga suletud minu varakambris?

³⁴Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?

³⁵Minu käes on kättemaks ja tasumine ajaks, mil nende jalg vääratab. Jah, nende õnnetuse päev on ligidal ja mis neile on valmistatud, tõttab tulema.

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.

³⁶Sest Issand tahab mõista õigust oma rahvale ja halastada oma sulaste peale, kui ta näeb, et nende jõud on kadunud ja pole jäänud orja ega vaba.

³⁶For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.

³⁷Siis ta ütleb: Kus on nende jumalad, kalju, mille peal nad pelgupaika otsisid,

³⁷And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,

³⁸kes sõid nende tapaohvrite rasva ja jõid nende joogiohvrite veini? Tõusku nad nüüd üles ja aidaku teid, olgu nad teile varjupaigaks!

³⁸Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.

³⁹Nähke nüüd, et see olen mina, ainult mina, ega ole ühtki jumalat minu kõrval! Mina surman ja teen elavaks, mina purustan ja mina parandan ega ole kedagi, kes päästaks minu käest.

³⁹See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,

⁴⁰Sest ma tõstan oma käe taeva poole ja ütlen: Nii tõesti, kui ma igavesti elan:

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!

⁴¹kui ma olen ihunud oma välkuva mõõga ja mu käsi hakkab kohut pidama, siis ma maksan kätte oma vaenlastele ja tasun neile, kes mind vihkavad.

⁴¹If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.

⁴²Ma lasen oma nooled joobuda verest ja mu mõõk hakkab õgima liha, mahalöödute ja vangide verd, vaenlaspealikute päid.

⁴²Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.

⁴³Ülistage, paganad, tema rahvast! Sest ta maksab kätte oma sulaste vere eest, tasub oma vastastele ja toimetab lepitust oma maale, oma rahvale.'

⁴³Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.

⁴⁴Ja Mooses tuli ning rääkis kõik selle laulu sõnad rahva kuuldes, tema ja Joosua, Nuuni poeg.

⁴⁴And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁵Kui Mooses oli rääkinud kõik need sõnad kogu Iisraelile,

⁴⁵And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,

⁴⁶siis ta ütles neile: 'Võtke südamesse kõik need sõnad, mis ma täna teile kordan, mis te peate andma käsuna oma lastele, et nad teeksid hoolsasti selle Seaduse kõigi sõnade järgi!

⁴⁶he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.

⁴⁷Sest see ei ole tühine sõna, mis teile korda ei lähe, vaid see on teie elu, ja selle sõna läbi te pikendate oma päevi sellel maal, kuhu te lähete üle Jordani, et seda pärida.'

⁴⁷For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁸Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega veel selsamal päeval, öeldes:

⁴⁸And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

⁴⁹'Mine üles siia Abarimi mäele, Nebo mäele, mis on Moabimaal Jeeriko kohal, ja vaata Kaananimaad, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele päranduseks!

⁴⁹Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,

⁵⁰Siis sa sured seal mäe peal, kuhu sa üles lähed, ja sind koristatakse oma rahva juurde, nagu suri su vend Aaron Hoori mäel ja koristati oma rahva juurde,

⁵⁰and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;

⁵¹sellepärast et te ei olnud truud minule Iisraeli laste keskel Meriba vee juures Kaadesis, Siini kõrbes, sellepärast et te mind ei pidanud pühaks Iisraeli laste keskel.

⁵¹because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵²Sa näed küll eemalt seda maad, aga sa ei pääse sinna, maale, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele.'

⁵²For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
