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

¹When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.

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

²And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.

³Oma kurjusega rõõmustavad nad kuningat ja oma valedega vürste.

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

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

⁴They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

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

⁵In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.

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

⁶For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this.

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

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

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.

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

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.

¹³Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but they speak lies 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.

¹⁴And they cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside from me.

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

¹⁵I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.

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

¹⁶They return, [but] not to the [Most] 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.
