¹Aga ükskord on Iisraeli lapsi arvu poolest nagu mereliiva, mida ei saa mõõta ega lugeda; ja selle asemel et neile öelda: 'Teie ei ole minu rahvas', öeldakse neile: 'Elava Jumala lapsed.'

¹“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ ‘Ammi’ in Hebrew and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’ ‘Ruhamah’ in Hebrew

²Siis kogunevad ühtekokku Juuda lapsed ja Iisraeli lapsed, panevad ühe endile peaks ja vallutavad maa, sest Jisreeli päev on suur.

²Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

³Öelge oma vendadele: 'Minu rahvas!' ja oma õdedele: 'Teie peale on halastatud!'

³Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

⁴Riielge oma emaga, riielge, sest ta ei ole minu naine ja mina ei ole tema mees! Ta eemaldagu oma näost oma hooratööd ja oma rindade vahelt oma abielurikkumised,

⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

⁵et ma ei võtaks teda alasti ega paneks teda seisma, nagu ta oli oma sündimise päeval; et ma ei teeks teda kõrbeks, ei teeks teda põuase maa sarnaseks ega tapaks teda januga!

⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁶Ja ma ei halasta tema laste peale, sest need on sohilapsed.

⁶Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.

⁷Jah, hooratööd on teinud nende ema, kes kandis neid oma ihus, ta on elanud häbiväärselt, sest ta ütles: 'Ma käin oma armastajate järel, kes annavad mulle leiba ja vett, villu ja linu, õli ja jooki.'

⁷She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.’

⁸Seepärast, vaata, ma tõkestan kibuvitstega tema tee ja ehitan temale müüri, et ta ei leiaks oma radu.

⁸For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

⁹Ja ta ajab taga oma armukesi, aga ei saa neid kätte; ta otsib neid, aga ei leia. Siis ta ütleb: 'Ma lähen ja pöördun tagasi oma esimese mehe juurde, sest mul oli siis parem kui nüüd.'

⁹Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

¹⁰Aga ta ei tea, et mina andsin temale vilja, veini ja õli, ma andsin temale palju hõbedat ja kulda, millest nad tegid Baali.

¹⁰Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

¹¹Seepärast ma võtan tagasi oma vilja, kui selle aeg on käes, ja oma veini vastaval ajal; ma kisun ära oma villa ja lina, mis pidid katma tema alastust.

¹¹I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

¹²Nüüd ma paljastan tema häbeme ta armukeste silme ees ja ükski ei päästa teda minu käest.

¹²I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,’ and the animals of the field shall eat them.

¹³Ma lõpetan kõik ta rõõmu, tema pidustused, noorkuud ja hingamispäevad ja kõik ta pühad.

¹³I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” says Yahweh.

¹⁴Ja ma hävitan tema viina- ja viigipuud, mille kohta ta ütles: 'Need on minu kingitused, mis mu armukesed mulle on andnud.' Mina teen need metsikuks ja metsloomad söövad neist.

¹⁴“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

¹⁵Ja ma karistan teda päevade pärast, mis kuulusid baalidele, kui ta suitsutas neile, ehtis ennast oma rõngaste ja ehetega ning läks järele oma armukestele, aga unustas minu, ütleb Issand.

¹⁵I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁶Seepärast, vaata, meelitan ma teda, viin ta kõrbe ja räägin tema meele järgi.

¹⁶It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’

¹⁷Sealt alates annan ma temale ta viinamäed ja lootuse ukseks Aakori oru; siis ta läheb sinna nagu oma nooruspäevil, nagu siis, kui ta tuli Egiptusemaalt.

¹⁷For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

¹⁸Sel päeval, ütleb Issand, sa hüüad mind: 'Minu mees!' ega hüüa mind enam: 'Minu Baal!'

¹⁸In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

¹⁹Ma kõrvaldan tema suust baalide nimed ja enam ei meenutata neid nimepidi.

¹⁹I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

²⁰Ja sel päeval teen ma nende heaks lepingu metsloomade, taeva lindude ja maa roomajatega; ammu, mõõga ja sõja murran ma maalt ja nad võivad elada julgesti.

²⁰I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

²¹Ja ma kihlan sind enesele igaveseks ajaks; ma kihlan sind enesele õiguse ja kohtu pärast, armastuse ja halastuse pärast.

²¹It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

²²Ma kihlan sind enesele usu pärast ja sina pead tundma Issandat.

²²and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

²³Sel päeval ma vastan, ütleb Issand, mina vastan taevale ja see vastab maale;

²³I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’”

²⁴maa vastab viljale, veinile ja õlile ja need vastavad Jisreelile.

²⁵Ja mina külvan ta enesele sellel maal, halastan Lo-Ruhama peale ja ütlen Lo-Ammile: 'Sina oled minu rahvas!' ja tema ütleb: 'Minu Jumal!''
