¹Sel ajal, ütleb Issand, olen ma kõigi Iisraeli suguvõsade Jumal ja nemad on mu rahvas.

¹At that time, says Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

²Nõnda ütleb Issand: Rahvas, mõõgast pääsenud, on kõrbes leidnud armu: Iisrael läheb oma rahupaika.

²Thus says Yahweh, The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

³Issand ilmutas ennast mulle kaugelt: Ma olen sind armastanud igavese armastusega, seepärast jääb mu osadus sinuga.

³Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.

⁴Mina ehitan sind jälle, et sa oleksid üles ehitatud, Iisraeli neitsi. Sa ehid ennast jälle trummidega ja lähed rõõmsatega tantsima.

⁴Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.

⁵Sa istutad jälle viinapuuaedu Samaaria mägedele; need, kes istutavad, saavad ka kasutada.

⁵Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.

⁶Sest tuleb päev, kui vahimehed hüüavad Efraimi mäestikus: 'Tõuske, mingem üles Siionisse Issanda, meie Jumala juurde!'

⁶For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.

⁷Sest nõnda ütleb Issand: Hõisake ilutsedes Jaakobi pärast ja tundke rõõmu rahvaste peast; kuulutage, kiitke ja öelge: 'Issand, päästa oma rahvas, Iisraeli jääk!'

⁷For thus says Yahweh, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, Yahweh, save your people, the remnant of Israel.

⁸Vaata, ma toon nad põhjamaalt ja kogun nad maa viimastest äärtest; nende hulgas on ka pimedaid ja jalutuid, rasedaid ja sünnitajaid: suure hulgana tulevad nad siia tagasi.

⁸Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company shall they return here.

⁹Nad tulevad nuttes ja ma toon neid anudes; ma viin nad veeojade äärde tasasel teel, kus nad ei komista; sest ma olen Iisraeli isa ja Efraim on mu esmasündinu.

⁹They shall come with weeping; and with petitions will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

¹⁰Rahvad, kuulge Issanda sõna ja kuulutage kaugetel saartel ning öelge: 'Tema, kes pillutas Iisraeli, kogub ja hoiab teda nagu karjane oma karja!'

¹⁰Hear the word of Yahweh, you nations, and declare it in the islands afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as shepherd does his flock.

¹¹Sest Issand lunastab Jaakobi ja vabastab tema selle käest, kes on temast vägevam.

¹¹For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.

¹²Ja nad tulevad ning hõiskavad Siioni kõrgendikul, nad säravad rõõmust Issanda headuse pärast, vilja ja veini ja õli pärast, noorte lammaste, kitsede ja veiste pärast; nende hing on nagu kastetud rohuaed ja nad ei närbu enam.

¹²They shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

¹³Siis neitsid rõõmutsevad tantsides ning noorukid ja raugad üheskoos; ma muudan nende leina rõõmuks, ma trööstin ja rõõmustan neid pärast kurvastust.

¹³Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

¹⁴Ja ma kosutan preestrite südameid rasvaga ning mu rahvas küllastub mu headusest, ütleb Issand.

¹⁴I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Yahweh.

¹⁵Nõnda ütleb Issand: Raamast kuuldakse häält, halinat, kibedat nuttu: Raahel nutab oma poegi. Ta ei lase ennast trööstida oma poegade pärast, sest neid ei ole enam.

¹⁵Thus says Yahweh: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.

¹⁶Nõnda ütleb Issand: Keela oma häält nutmast ja silmi pisaraid valamast, sest su teol on tasu, ütleb Issand, ja nad tulevad tagasi vaenlase maalt.

¹⁶Thus says Yahweh: Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says Yahweh; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

¹⁷Sul on lootust tulevikuks, ütleb Issand, su lapsed tulevad tagasi oma maale.

¹⁷There is hope for your latter end, says Yahweh; and your children shall come again to their own border.

¹⁸Ma olen küll kuulnud, et Efraim haletseb iseennast: 'Sina oled mind karistanud ja ma olen saanud karistuse nagu tõrges härjavärss. Too mind tagasi, et saaksin pöörduda, sest sina oled Issand, mu Jumal!

¹⁸I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

¹⁹Sest pärast taganemist ma kahetsen, ja pärast mõistuseletoomist ma löön enesele vastu puusa; ma häbenen ja tunnen piinlikkust, sest ma kannan oma noorpõlve teotust.'

¹⁹Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I struck on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

²⁰Eks ole Efraim mulle kalliks pojaks ja lemmiklapseks? Sest iga kord, kui ma räägin tema vastu, mõtlen ma ikka temale; seetõttu on mu süda tema pärast rahutu: ma tahan tõesti halastada tema peale, ütleb Issand.

²⁰Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says Yahweh.

²¹Püstita enesele märgikivid, aseta teeviidad, pea meeles maanteed, rada, mida oled käinud! Tule tagasi, Iisraeli neitsi, tule tagasi oma linnadesse!

²¹Set up road signs, make guideposts; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.

²²Kui kaua sa kõhkled, taganenud tütar? Sest Issand loob maal midagi uut: naine kaitseb meest.

²²How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? for Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.

²³Nõnda ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Veel kõneldakse Juudamaal ja selle linnades, kui ma pööran nende vangipõlve, seda sõna: 'Issand õnnistagu sind, sa õigluse eluase, sa püha mägi!'

²³Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring again their captivity: Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.

²⁴Seal elavad üheskoos Juuda ja kõik ta linnad, põllumehed ja rändavad karjased.

²⁴Judah and all its cities shall dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.

²⁵Sest ma kosutan väsinud hinge ja täidan iga nälginud hinge.'

²⁵For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished.

²⁶Seepeale ma ärkasin ja vaatasin, ja mul oli olnud magus uni.

²⁶On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.

²⁷'Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma külvan Iisraeli soole ja Juuda soole inimeste seemet ja loomade seemet.

²⁷Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of animal.

²⁸Ja nõnda nagu ma valvasin neid, et kitkuda ja maha kiskuda, purustada, hävitada ja tuua õnnetust, nõnda ma valvan neid, et üles ehitada ja istutada, ütleb Issand.

²⁸It shall happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant, says Yahweh.

²⁹Neil päevil ei öelda enam: 'Isad sõid tooreid viinamarju, aga laste hambad on hellad',

²⁹In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.

³⁰vaid igaüks sureb oma süü pärast: igal inimesel, kes sööb tooreid viinamarju, lähevad ta oma hambad hellaks.

³⁰But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

³¹Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil ma teen Iisraeli sooga ja Juuda sooga uue lepingu:

³¹Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

³²mitte selle lepingu sarnase, mille ma tegin nende vanematega sel päeval, kui ma võtsin nad kättpidi, et viia nad välja Egiptusemaalt - selle mu lepingu nad murdsid, kuigi ma olin nad võtnud enese omaks, ütleb Issand -,

³²not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh.

³³vaid leping, mille ma teen Iisraeli sooga pärast neid päevi, ütleb Issand, on niisugune: ma panen nende sisse oma Seaduse ja kirjutan selle neile südamesse; siis ma olen neile Jumalaks ja nemad on mulle rahvaks.

³³But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

³⁴Siis üks ei õpeta enam teist ega vend venda, öeldes: 'Tunne Issandat!', sest nad kõik tunnevad mind, niihästi pisikesed kui suured, ütleb Issand; sest ma annan andeks nende süü ega tuleta enam meelde nende pattu.

³⁴and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me, from their least to their greatest, says Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

³⁵Nõnda ütleb Issand, kes on pannud päikese valguseks päeval, kuu ja tähtede korrad valguseks öösel, kes liigutab merd, paneb selle lained kohama - vägede Issand on tema nimi:

³⁵Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Yahweh of Armies is his name:

³⁶Kui need korrad nihkuksid mu palge eest, ütleb Issand, siis lakkaks ka Iisraeli sugu alatiseks olemast rahvas mu palge ees.

³⁶If these ordinances depart from before me, says Yahweh, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.

³⁷Nõnda ütleb Issand: Kui peaks saama mõõta taevast ülal ja uurida maa aluseid all, siis hülgaksin ka mina kogu Iisraeli soo kõige selle pärast, mis nad on teinud, ütleb Issand.

³⁷Thus says Yahweh: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Yahweh.

³⁸Vaata, päevad tulevad, ütleb Issand, mil linn Issandale üles ehitatakse Hananeli tornist Nurgaväravani.

³⁸Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that the city shall be built to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.

³⁹Ja mõõdunöör läheb veel edasi otse üle Gaarebi künka ning käändub Goa suunas.

³⁹The measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.

⁴⁰Ja kogu surnukehade ja tuha org, ja kõik põllud kuni Kidroni jõeni, Hobuvärava nurgani ida suunas, on pühendatud Issandale. Iialgi enam ei kitkuta seda välja ega kista maha.'

⁴⁰The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to Yahweh; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.
