1Häda mulle, sest mu käsi käib nagu pärast puuvilja korjamist, nagu pärast viinamarjalõikuse järelnoppimist: ühtegi kobarat ei ole süüa, ühtegi varajast viigimarja, mida mu hing ihaldab.
1Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
2Vaga on kadunud maalt ja õiget ei ole inimeste seas; kõik varitsevad verd, püüavad üksteist võrguga.
2The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
3Nende käed on valmis kurjaks: vürst nõuab, kohtumõistja mõistab kohut meelehea eest ja suurnik räägib oma hinge himustamise järgi; ja seda nad keerutavad.
3Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
4Parim neist on nagu kibuvits, ausaim nagu okkaline aed. Sinu vahimeeste päev, su karistus tuleb. Nüüd satuvad nad segadusse.
4The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
5Ärge uskuge ligimest, ärge lootke sõbra peale! Hoia oma suu uksi selle eest, kes su kaisus magab!
5Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
6Sest poeg põlgab isa, tütar tõuseb ema vastu, minia ämma vastu: inimese vaenlasteks on ta oma kodakondsed.
6For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7Aga mina vaatan Issanda poole, mina ootan oma pääste Jumalat: küll mu Jumal kuuleb mind.
7But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8Ära rõõmusta minu pärast, mu vaenlane! Kui ma langen, siis ma tõusen üles; kui ma istun pimeduses, siis on Issand mulle valguseks.
8Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.
9Ma tahan taluda Issanda viha, sest tema vastu olen ma pattu teinud, kuni ta seletab mu riiuasja ja teeb mulle õigust. Tema toob mind valgusesse, ma saan näha tema õiglust.
9I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.
10Siis mu vaenlane näeb ja häbi katab seda, kes mulle ütleb: 'Kus on Issand, su Jumal?' Mu silmad saavad kahjurõõmsalt näha, et nüüd tallatakse teda nagu tänavapori.
10Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Yahweh your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.
11Päev su müüride ülesehitamiseks. See päev on ammu määratud.
11A day to build your walls— In that day, he will extend your boundary.
12Sel päeval tullakse su juurde Assuri poolt ja Egiptuse linnadest ja Egiptuse poolt Frati jõeni, merest mereni ja mäest mäeni.
12In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
13Aga maa tehakse lagedaks ta elanike pärast, nende tegude vilja pärast.
13Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14Karjata kepiga oma rahvast, oma pärisosa lambaid, kes elavad omapäi metsas keset viljakat maad! Käigu nad karjas Baasanis ja Gileadis nagu muistseil päevil!
14Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15Otsekui sinu Egiptusemaalt lahkumise päevil näitan ma neile imetegusid.
15“As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”
16Paganad näevad ja häbenevad, hoolimata kogu oma vägevusest. Nad panevad käe suu peale, neil jäävad kõrvad kurdiks.
16The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
17Nad lakuvad põrmu nagu madu, maa roomajate sarnaselt. Nad tulevad värisedes välja oma linnustest, lähenevad vabisedes Issandale, meie Jumalale: nad kardavad sind.
17They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.
18Kes on Jumal nagu sina, kes annab andeks süü ja läheb mööda oma pärisosa jäägi üleastumisest, kes ei pea viha mitte igavesti, vaid osutab armu,
18Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
19kes halastab jälle meie peale, tallab maha meie süüteod? Sina heidad kõik meie patud mere sügavustesse.
19He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20Sina osutad Jaakobile truudust, Aabrahamile armu, nõnda nagu sa meie vanemaile oled vandega tõotanud muistseil päevil.'
20You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
