¹Ma nägin, et Issand seisis altari juures ja ütles: 'Löö sambanupu peale, nõnda et piidad vabiseksid, ja lõhu nad katki, et nad variseksid nende kõikide pähe! Siis ma tapan mõõgaga viimsedki neist. Ükski neist ei saa põgenema ja keegi neist ei pääse pakku.

¹I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

²Kuigi nad poeksid peitu surmavalda, rebiks mu käsi nad sealtki esile; ja kuigi nad läheksid üles taevasse, tooksin ma nad sealtki alla.

²Though they dig into Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

³Kuigi nad poeksid peitu üles Karmeli tippu, ma otsiksin ja võtaksin nad ära ka sealt; ja kuigi nad läheksid mu silma eest varjule mere põhja, käsiksin ma maol neid sealgi salvata.

³Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

⁴Kuigi nad sammuksid oma vaenlaste ees vangidena, käsiksin ma mõõka neid sealgi tappa. Ja ma pööran oma silmad nende vastu: kurjaks, aga mitte heaks.'

⁴Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

⁵Issand, vägede Jumal, kelle puudutusest maa väriseb, nõnda et kõik selle elanikud leinavad, nõnda et see kõik tõuseb jõena ja alaneb jälle nagu Egiptuse Niilus,

⁵For the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁶tema, kes ehitab oma hoone taevasse ja püstitab maa kohale oma võlvi, kes kutsub mereveed ja valab need maa peale - Issand on tema nimi.

⁶It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

⁷Eks ole teie, Iisraeli lapsed, mulle etiooplastega üheväärsed? Eks ole mina toonud Iisraeli Egiptusemaalt, vilistid Kaftoorist ja süürlased Kiirist?

⁷Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says Yahweh. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

⁸Vaata, Issanda Jumala silmad on patuse kuningriigi vastu ja ma hävitan selle maapinnalt. Ometi ei hävita ma Jaakobi sugu sootuks, ütleb Issand.

⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yahweh are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says Yahweh.

⁹Sest vaata, ma annan käsu ja sõelun Iisraeli sugu kõigi paganate seas, nõnda nagu sõelaga sõelutakse: ivagi ei pudene maha.

⁹“For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

¹⁰Mõõga läbi surevad kõik mu rahva patused, kes ütlevad: 'Õnnetus ei tule meile ega taba meid.'

¹⁰All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

¹¹Sel päeval taastan ma jälle Taaveti lagunenud koja, müürin kinni ta praod, koristan ta varemed ja ehitan ta üles, nagu ta oli muistseil päevil,

¹¹In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

¹²et nad saaksid pärida Edomi jäägi ja kõik rahvad, kelle üle on nimetatud minu nimi, ütleb Issand, kes seda teeb.

¹²that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.

¹³Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil kündja jõuab järele lõikajale ja viinamarjasõtkuja seemne külvajale; siis tilguvad mäed värsket veini ja kõik künkad sulavad.

¹³“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

¹⁴Siis ma pööran oma Iisraeli rahva vangipõlve, nad ehitavad üles hävitatud linnad ja elavad neis; nad istutavad viinamägesid ja joovad nende veini, nad rajavad rohuaedu ja söövad nende vilja.

¹⁴I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

¹⁵Ma istutan nad nende oma maale ja enam ei kitkuta neid ära nende maalt, mille ma neile olen andnud, ütleb Issand, sinu Jumal.'

¹⁵I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says Yahweh your God.
