¹Sest vaata, Jumal, vägede Issand, võtab Jeruusalemmalt ja Juudalt toe ja toetuse, kõik leiva- ja veetoed,

¹For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

²sangari ja sõjamehe, kohtumõistja ja prohveti, ennustaja ja vanema,

²the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,

³viiekümnepealiku ja lugupeetud mehe, nõuniku, osava meistri ja lausuda oskaja.

³the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

⁴Ja ma panen poisid neile vürstideks ning lapsed valitsevad nende üle.

⁴I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.

⁵Siis hakkab rahvas isekeskis rõhuma, üks ühte ja teine teist, noor tõuseb vana vastu ja vääritu auväärse vastu.

⁵The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.

⁶Kui vend haarab oma isakojas vennast: 'Sul on kuub, ole meile juhiks ja võta see rusuhunnik oma käe alla!',

⁶Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”

⁷siis tõstab too selsamal päeval häält, öeldes: 'Ei ole minust haavasidujat, mu kojas ei ole leiba ega kuube: ärge pange mind rahva juhiks!'

⁷In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”

⁸Sest Jeruusalemm komistab ja Juuda langeb, kuna nende keel ja teod on Issanda vastu, et trotsida Aulise silme ees.

⁸For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

⁹Nende näoilme tunnistab nende endi vastu, nad kuulutavad oma pattu salgamata otsekui Soodom. Häda nende hingedele! Sest nad teevad iseendile kurja.

⁹The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

¹⁰Öelge õigele, et tema käsi käib hästi, sest nad saavad süüa oma tegude vilja!

¹⁰Tell the righteous “Good!” For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

¹¹Häda õelale! Tema käsi käib halvasti, sest ta kätetöö tasutakse talle.

¹¹Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

¹²Mu rahva sundijaks on laps ja teda valitsevad naised. Mu rahvas! Su juhid on eksitajad, nad muudavad valeks su radade suuna.

¹²As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

¹³Issand tõuseb nõutama õigust, ta asub kohut mõistma rahvastele.

¹³Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

¹⁴Issand läheb kohtusse oma rahva vanemate ja vürstidega: Te olete laastanud viinamäed ja teie kodades on vaestelt röövitu.

¹⁴Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.

¹⁵Mida te ometi mõtlete, tallates mu rahvast ja rutjudes vaeste nägu? küsib Jumal, vägede Issand.

¹⁵What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁶Ja Issand ütleb: Sellepärast et Siioni tütred on upsakad, käivad kange kaelaga ja pööritavad silmi, käies astuvad tippamisi ja kliristavad jalarõngaid,

¹⁶Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

¹⁷teeb Issand Siioni tütarde pealae kärnaseks ja Issand paljastab nende häbeme.

¹⁷therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”

¹⁸Sel päeval võtab Issand ära toredad jalarõngad, laubaehted ja kaelakeed,

¹⁸In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,

¹⁹kõrvarõngad, käevõrud ja loorid,

¹⁹the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

²⁰peamähised, sammuahelakesed, rinnavööd, lõhnatoosid ja amuletid,

²⁰the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,

²¹sõrmused ja ninarõngad,

²¹the signet rings, the nose rings,

²²riided, pealisrüüd, suurrätikud ja kukrud,

²²the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,

²³peeglid, särgid, peakatted ja hõlstid.

²³the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.

²⁴Ja siis sünnib, et palsamilõhna asemel on kõdunemise lehk, vöö asemel nöör, palmitud juuste asemel paljas pea, peene lõuendi asemel kotiriidest kate, ilu asemel põletusmärk.

²⁴It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

²⁵Su mehed langevad mõõga läbi ja su sangarid sõjas.

²⁵Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

²⁶Siis kurvastavad ja leinavad ta väravad, ta istub maa peal tühjaks tehtuna.

²⁶Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
