¹Vaata, Issand laastab maa ja rüüstab selle, paiskab segi selle pinna ja pillutab elanikud.

¹Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.

²Ja nagu rahvaga, nõnda sünnib preestriga, nagu sulasega, nõnda ta isandaga, nagu teenijaga, nõnda ta emandaga, nagu ostjaga, nõnda müüjaga, nagu laenuandjaga, nõnda laenajaga, nagu võlausaldajaga, nõnda võlgnikuga.

²And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.

³Maa laastatakse täiesti ja riisutakse sootuks, sest Issand on öelnud selle sõna.

³The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.

⁴Maa leinab, laostub, ilmamaa närbub, laostub, maa rahva ülikud rammestuvad.

⁴The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.

⁵Maa on rüvetunud oma elanike all, sest need on üle astunud Seadusest, muutnud seadlusi, murdnud igavese lepingu.

⁵And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.

⁶Seepärast neelab needus maa ja selle elanikud peavad kandma oma süüd; seepärast kahaneb maa elanike hulk ja vähe inimesi jääb järele.

⁶Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.

⁷Vein leinab, viinapuu kuivab, ägavad kõik, kes olid südamest rõõmsad.

⁷The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;

⁸Lõpeb trummide lõbu, lakkab hõiskajate lärm, kaob kandle rõõm.

⁸the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

⁹Enam ei jooda lauldes veini, vägijook on joojale kibe.

⁹They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.

¹⁰Tühi linn purustatakse, kõik kojad suletakse, sissepääsu ei ole.

¹⁰The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.

¹¹Tänavail karjutakse veini järele, kõik rõõm kaob, maa lust lahkub.

¹¹There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;

¹²Linna jääb häving ja värav taotakse puruks.

¹²desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, -- a ruin.

¹³Sest nõnda peab sündima keset maad, rahvaste keskel, otsekui õlipuu raputus, otsekui järelnoppimine pärast viinamarjalõikuse lõppu.

¹³For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.

¹⁴Need seal tõstavad häält, rõkatavad rõõmust, Issanda ülevuse tõttu hõiskavad lääne poolt:

¹⁴These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

¹⁵'Seepärast austage ka ida pool Issandat, mere saartel Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala nime.'

¹⁵Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.

¹⁶Maa äärest kuuleme kiituslaule: 'Austus õigele!' Aga mina ütlen: Kadu mulle, kadu mulle! Häda mulle, petised petavad, jah, petised petavad petise kombel!

¹⁶From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

¹⁷Pelg, püügiauk ja püüdepael on su ees, maa elanik.

¹⁷Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.

¹⁸Kes siis põgeneb peletushüüu eest, langeb püügiauku; aga kes tuleb püügiaugust välja, selle püüab püüdepael. Sest kõrguse luugid avanevad ja maa alused vappuvad.

¹⁸And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.

¹⁹Maa põrub põrmuks, maa lõheneb lõhki, maa kõigub kõvasti.

¹⁹The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.

²⁰Maa vaarub tugevasti, joobnu sarnaselt, ja vangub otsekui vahionn. Tema üleastumine lasub raskesti ta peal, ta langeb ega tõuse enam.

²⁰The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.

²¹Sel päeval nuhtleb Issand kõrguse väehulki kõrgel ja maa kuningaid maa peal.

²¹And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

²²Need kogutakse kokku, kogutakse vangidena auku, suletakse vangitorni ja hulga aja pärast nuheldakse neid.

²²And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

²³Siis on kuul häbi ja päike häbeneb, sest vägede Issand on kuningas Siioni mäel ja Jeruusalemmas, ja tema vanemate ees paistab auhiilgus.

²³And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
