¹Puhuge sarve Siionis, tõstke häält mu pühal mäel! Värisegu kõik maa elanikud, sest Issanda päev tuleb, see on ligidal,

¹Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

²pime ja must päev, pilvine ja sünge päev! Nõnda nagu koit laotub mägedele, tuleb suur ja vägev rahvas, kelle sarnast pole olnud igiaegadest alates ega tule ka enam pärast teda, tulevaste põlvede aastateni.

²A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

³Tema ees käib hävitav tuli ja tema taga kõrvetav leek; tema ees on maa otsekui Eedeni aed, aga tema taga on tühi kõrb ja ei olegi pääsu tema eest.

³A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.

⁴Neil on otse hobuste välimus ja nad jooksevad kui sõjaratsud.

⁴Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so do they run.

⁵Otsekui sõjavankrite mürinal kihutavad nad üle mäeharjade, mühinal, kõrsi põletava tuleleegi moel, vägeva rahva sarnaselt, kes on valmis tapluseks.

⁵Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

⁶Nende ees värisevad rahvad, kahvatuvad kõik palged.

⁶At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.

⁷Nad ruttavad nagu võitlejad, ronivad müüridele nagu sõdurid. Igaüks käib oma teed ega muuda oma rada.

⁷They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.

⁸Üks ei tõuka teist, igaüks käib oma teed; nad sööstavad peatumata viskodade vahelt läbi.

⁸Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don’t break ranks.

⁹Nad tormavad linna, jooksevad müürile, ronivad kodadesse, tungivad akendest sisse nagu varas.

⁹They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.

¹⁰Nende ees väriseb maa, põrub taevas, päike ja kuu lähevad mustaks ja tähed kaotavad oma sära.

¹⁰The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

¹¹Ja Issand laseb oma häält kõlada oma sõjaväe ees, sest tema leer on väga suur. Tõesti, vägev on tema käsutäitja, sest Issanda päev on suur ja väga kardetav, kes suudaks seda taluda?

¹¹Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

¹²Aga veel nüüdki ütleb Issand: Pöörduge minu poole kõigest südamest, paastudes, nuttes ja kurtes!

¹²“Yet even now,” says Yahweh, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

¹³Käristage lõhki oma süda, aga mitte oma riided, ja pöörduge Issanda, oma Jumala poole, sest tema on armuline ja halastaja, pika meelega ja rikas heldusest, ja tema kahetseb kurja!

¹³Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

¹⁴Kes teab, vahest ta pöördub ja kahetseb ja jätab enese järele õnnistuse, nii et te saate tuua roaohvrit ja joogiohvrit Issandale, oma Jumalale?

¹⁴Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to Yahweh, your God.

¹⁵Puhuge sarve Siionis, pühitsege paastupüha, kutsuge kokku pühalik koosolek!

¹⁵Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.

¹⁶Koguge rahvas, pühitsege kogudust, tooge kokku vanemad, koguge lapsed ja imikud, peigmees tulgu välja oma toast ja pruut oma kambrist!

¹⁶Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her room.

¹⁷Eeskoja ja altari vahel nutku preestrid, Issanda teenrid, ja öelgu: Säästa, Issand, oma rahvast, ja ära anna oma pärisosa teotuseks, paganaile pilgata! Miks peaks rahvaste seas öeldama: Kus on nüüd nende Jumal?'

¹⁷Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, Yahweh, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

¹⁸Siis Issand hoolitseb oma maa eest ja tunneb oma rahvale kaasa.

¹⁸Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.

¹⁹Ja Issand kostab ning ütleb oma rahvale: 'Vaata, ma läkitan teile vilja, veini ja õli, et teil on seda kõike küllalt. Ma ei anna teid enam teotuseks paganate sekka.

¹⁹Yahweh answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

²⁰Ja selle põhja poolt tulija ajan ma teist kaugele, hajutan ta kuivale ja tühjale maale, ta eelväe Idamerre, ta järelväe Läänemerre; ja temast tõuseb hais, tõuseb roiskumise lehk, sellepärast et ta tahtis teha suuri asju.

²⁰But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things.

²¹Ära karda, maa! Hõiska ja rõõmusta, sest Issand teeb suuri asju!

²¹Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has done great things.

²²Ärge kartke, välja loomad, sest kõrbe rohumaad löövad haljendama ja puud hakkavad vilja kandma, viigi- ja viinapuud kannavad külluslikult!

²²Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

²³Ja teie, Siioni lapsed, hõisake ja rõõmustage Issandas, oma Jumalas, sest tema annab teile õiglaselt varajast vihma, saadab vihma teile alla, varajase ja hilise vihma nagu ennegi!

²³“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.

²⁴Siis saavad rehealused täis nisu ning tõrred voolavad üle veinist ja õlist.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

²⁵Ja ma tasun teile nende aastate eest, kui saagi sõid rohutirtsud, vastsed, mardikad ja röövikud - see mu suur sõjavägi, kelle ma läkitasin teie kallale.

²⁵I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.

²⁶Te saate küllalt süüa, te sööte kõhud täis, ja kiidate Issandat, oma Jumalat, kes teiega on talitanud imepäraselt. Jah, mu rahvas ei jää igavesti häbisse.

²⁶You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

²⁷Ja te saate tunda, et mina olen Iisraeli keskel, et mina, Issand, olen teie Jumal ja ei keegi teine. Jah, mu rahvas ei jää igavesti häbisse.

²⁷You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.

²⁸“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

²⁹And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.

³⁰I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.

³¹The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

³²It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.
