¹Kuulge sõna, mida Issand teile räägib, Iisraeli sugu!

¹Hear the word that Jehovah speaketh unto you, house of Israel.

²Nõnda ütleb Issand: Ärge õppige paganate teid ja ärge kartke taeva märke, sest paganad kardavad neid.

²Thus saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

³Kuid rahvaste kombed on tühisus: sest puu on raiutud metsast, see on puusepa kätetöö, kirvega tehtud;

³For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

⁴seda ehitakse hõbeda ja kullaga, kinnitatakse naelte ja haamritega, et see ei kõiguks.

⁴they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵Aga nad jäävad linnupeletiste sarnaseks, kurgipõllul on need, ja nad ei räägi; neid peab kandma, sest nad ei kõnni. Ärge kartke neid, sest nad ei tee kurja, aga nad ei saa teha ka head!

⁵They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

⁶Ei ole sinu sarnast, Issand! Sina oled suur, ja suur on su nimi vägevuse poolest.

⁶There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

⁷Kes ei peaks sind kartma, rahvaste kuningas? Tõesti, seda sa väärid! Sest kõigi rahvaste tarkade hulgas ja kõigis nende kuningriikides ei ole sinu sarnast.

⁷Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

⁸Üheskoos on nad rumalad ja narrid. Ebajumalate õpetus: see on puu,

⁸But they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities is a stock.

⁹õhukeseks taotud hõbe, toodud Tarsisest, ja Uufase kuld, puusepa ja kullassepa kätetöö. Nende riided on sinised ja purpurpunased, kõik meistrite töö.

⁹Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artizan and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful [men].

¹⁰Aga Issand on tõeline Jumal, ta on elav Jumal ja igavene kuningas. Tema vihast väriseb maa ja tema sajatust ei suuda rahvad taluda.

¹⁰But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.

¹¹Öelge neile nõnda: Jumalad, kes ei ole teinud taevast ja maad, kaovad maa pealt ja taeva alt.

¹¹Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹²Tema on oma rammuga rajanud maa, oma tarkusega loonud maailma ja mõistusega laotanud taeva.

¹²He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

¹³Kui tema teeb häält, siis on taevas vete kohin, ja ta kergitab pilved maa äärest; tema teeb vihmale välgud ja toob tuule välja selle aitadest.

¹³When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹⁴Inimesed on kõik rumalad, mõistusest ilma. Kõik kullassepad jäävad häbisse jumalakujude pärast; nende valatud kujud on pettus, sest neis pole vaimu.

¹⁴Every man is become brutish, bereft of knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵Need on tühised, naeruväärt tööd: oma katsumisajal nad hävivad.

¹⁵They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶Nende sarnane ei ole see, kes on Jaakobi rikkuseks, sest tema on kõige Looja ja Iisrael on ta pärisosaks. Vägede Issand on tema nimi.

¹⁶The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all [things], and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

¹⁷Korja oma kompsud maast kokku, kitsikuses istuja!

¹⁷Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress.

¹⁸Sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Vaata, seekord ma lingutan minema maa elanikud ja rõhun neid nõnda, et nad tunnevad.

¹⁸For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will this time sling out the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them, that they may be found.

¹⁹Häda mulle mu vigastuse pärast! Mu haav on ravimatu! Mina aga mõtlesin: See on ju ainult nõrkus, mida ma suudan taluda.

¹⁹Woe is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea, this is [my] grief, and I will bear it.

²⁰Mu telk on hävitatud ja kõik mu telginöörid katki kistud; mu lapsed on läinud mu juurest ja neid ei ole enam. Ei ole ühtegi, kes jälle püstitaks mu telgi ja seaks üles mu telgiriided.

²⁰My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²¹Jah, karjased on läinud arust ära ega otsi enam Issandat: seetõttu tegutsevad nad vääralt ja kõik nende karjad on pillutatud.

²¹For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.

²²Hääl kostab. Vaata, see tuleb - suur mürin põhjamaalt, tegema Juuda linnu lagedaks, ðaakalite asupaigaks!

²²The voice of a rumour! Behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

²³Ma tean, Issand, et inimese tee ei olene temast enesest, ei ole ränduri käes juhtida oma sammu.

²³I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps.

²⁴Karista mind, Issand, aga õiglaselt, mitte oma raevus, et sa mind täiesti ei hävitaks.

²⁴Jehovah, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵Vala oma vihalõõm paganate peale, kes sind ei tunne, ja suguvõsade peale, kes ei hüüa appi sinu nime. Sest nad on neelanud Jaakobi, jah, on neelanud ta ära ja teinud talle lõpu ning hävitanud ta eluaseme.'

²⁵Pour out thy fury upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, yea, they have eaten him up and consumed him, and have laid waste his dwelling-place.
