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

¹Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!

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

²Thus says Yahweh, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; 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 customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

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 not move.

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 like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak: they must be carried, because they can’t go. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither 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 you, Yahweh; you are great, and your 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 should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

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

⁸But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

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

⁹There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful 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 Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.

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

¹¹You shall say this to 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 has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

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 utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings 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 has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved 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 these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.

¹⁷Korja oma kompsud maast kokku, kitsikuses istuja!

¹⁷Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.

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

¹⁸For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.

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

¹⁹Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must 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 destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread 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 inquired of Yahweh: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

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

²²The voice of news, behold, it comes, 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.

²³Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

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

²⁴Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you 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 your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
