¹Issand, sina oled mu Jumal, ma tahan sind ülistada, su nime kiita, sest sa oled teinud imet, su otsused muistsest ajast on õiged ja kindlad.

¹Jehovah, thou art my God: I will exalt thee; I will celebrate thy name, for thou hast done wonderful things; counsels of old [which are] faithfulness [and] truth.

²Sest sa tegid linna kivivaremeks ja kindlustatud linna rusuhunnikuks. Võõraste kants ei ole enam linn, seda ei ehitata iialgi üles.

²For thou hast made of the city a heap, of the fortified town a ruin, the palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built up.

³Seepärast austab sind vägev rahvas, aga julmade paganate linnad kardavad sind.

³Therefore shall the mighty people glorify thee, the city of terrible nations shall fear thee.

⁴Sest sa oled kindluseks viletsale ja pelgupaigaks vaesele ta kitsikuses, ulualuseks raju eest, varjuks palavuse eest; on ju julmade viha otsekui raju, mis raputab müüri,

⁴For thou hast been a fortress to the poor, a fortress for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat: for the blast of the terrible ones [has been] as the storm [against] a wall.

⁵otsekui lõõsk põuaajal. Sina vaigistad võõraste möllu, otsekui palavus pilve varjus vaikib julmade võidulaul.

⁵Thou hast subdued the tumult of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [as] the heat, by the shadow of a cloud, [so] the song of the terrible ones is brought low.

⁶Ja vägede Issand valmistab sellel mäel kõigile rahvaile võõruspeo rammusate roogadega, võõruspeo laagerdatud veiniga, üdirammusate roogadega, pärmi pealt selitatud veiniga.

⁶And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

⁷Ta hävitab sel mäel loori, mis looritab kõiki rahvaid, ja katte, mis katab kõiki paganaid.

⁷And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the veil which veileth all the peoples, and the covering that is spread over all the nations.

⁸Ta neelab surma ära igaveseks ajaks. Ja Issand Jumal pühib pisarad kõigilt palgeilt ning kõrvaldab oma rahva teotuse kogu maalt. Jah, Issand on rääkinud!

⁸He will swallow up death in victory. And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken.

⁹Ja sel päeval öeldakse: 'Vaata, see on meie Jumal, keda me ootasime, et ta meid päästaks. See on Issand, keda me ootasime, hõisakem ja tundkem rõõmu tema päästest,

⁹And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah, we have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

¹⁰sest Issanda käsi viibib sellel mäel.' Aga Moab tallatakse maha ta omas paigas, otsekui tallataks õlekubu virtsalompi.

¹⁰For in this mountain shall the hand of Jehovah rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is trodden down in the dunghill;

¹¹Ja kui ta selle sees sirutab oma käsi otsekui ujuja ujudes, alandatakse ta suurelisus ikkagi, hoolimata ta käte kunstist.

¹¹and he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth them forth to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the plots of their hands.

¹²Jah, kindel linn, ta laseb langeda su kaitsvad müürid, alandab, paiskab maha põrmu.

¹²And the fortress of the high defences of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, bring to the ground, into the dust.
