¹Ära rõõmusta, Iisrael, ära hõiska nagu teised rahvad! Sest sa oled hoora viisil lahkunud oma Jumalast, oled armastanud hoorapalka kõigis rehealustes.

¹Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.

²Rehi ja surutõrs neid ei toida ja veini ei pea neil olema.

²The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.

³Nad ei saa jääda Issanda maale, vaid Efraim läheb tagasi Egiptusesse ja nad peavad Assuris sööma roojaseid asju.

³They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.

⁴Seal nad ei kalla Issandale veini ja nende tapaohvrid pole talle meele järgi; nende leib on nagu leinaleib: kõik, kes seda söövad, rüvetavad endid; sest leiba on neil ainult eneste jaoks, Issanda kotta seda ei tule.

⁴They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.

⁵Mida te teete pühade ajal, Issanda-püha päevadel?

⁵What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?

⁶Jah, vaata, nad peavad lahkuma laastamise pärast; neid kogub Egiptus, neid matab Memfis; umbrohi pärib nende hõbeasjad, nende telkides kasvavad ohakad.

⁶For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.

⁷Katsumise päevad tulevad, kättemaksu päevad tulevad, Iisrael saab seda tunda. 'Prohvet on rumal, vaimumees on hull!' Et su süü on suur, siis on ka vaen suur.

⁷The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.

⁸Efraim luurab prohvetit, kes on mu Jumalaga. Kõigil ta teedel on linnupüüdja pael, ta Jumala kojas on vaenulikkus.

⁸Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.

⁹Nad on sügavalt laostunud, otsekui Gibea päevil; aga tema mäletab nende süüd ja nuhtleb neid nende pattude eest.

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

¹⁰Ma leidsin Iisraeli nagu viinamarjad kõrbes; nagu esimesed marjad noorel viigipuul, nõnda leidsin teie vanemad. Aga nad tulid Baal-Peori, pühendasid endid Häbile ja muutusid põlastusväärseiks nagu see, keda nad armastasid.

¹⁰I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.

¹¹Efraim - linnuna lendab ära nende au, enam ei ole sünnitust, rasedust ega eostust.

¹¹As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, -- no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

¹²Ja kuigi nad kasvataksid oma lapsed suureks, teen mina nad lastetuks, inimestest lahti. Tõesti, häda neile, kui ma neist eemaldun!

¹²For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!

¹³Efraim, nagu ma näen, on palmiks, mis on istutatud vainule; aga Efraim peab viima oma lapsed tapja kätte.

¹³Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.

¹⁴Anna neile, Issand, mida sa pidid andma: anna neile viljatu rüpp ja kuivetunud rinnad!

¹⁴Give them, Jehovah -- what wilt thou give? -- give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

¹⁵Kõik nende kurjus on Gilgalis, seal hakkasin ma neid vihkama. Nende kurjade tegude pärast ajan ma nad ära oma kojast. Ma ei armasta neid enam: kõik nende vürstid on tõrksad.

¹⁵All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.

¹⁶Efraim lüüakse maha, nende juur kuivab, nad ei kanna vilja. Kui nad siiski sünnitaksid, surmaksin mina nende kalli ihuvilja.

¹⁶Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.

¹⁷Minu Jumal hülgab nad, sest nad ei kuula teda. Neist saavad põgenikud paganate seas.

¹⁷My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
