¹Ja sellesama kuu kahekümne neljandal päeval kogunesid Iisraeli lapsed paastuma, kotiriided seljas ja mulda pea peal.

¹Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth on them.

²Ja Iisraeli sugu lahutas enese kõigist muulastest, astus ette ja tunnistas oma patte ning oma vanemate süütegusid.

²The seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

³Siis nad tõusid oma kohal püsti ja lugesid Issanda, oma Jumala Seaduse raamatut kolm tundi; ja kolm tundi tunnistasid nad patte ning kummardasid Issandat, oma Jumalat.

³They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Yahweh their God.

⁴Ja Jeesua, Baani, Kadmiel, Sebanja, Bunni, Seerebja, Baani ja Kenani läksid üles leviitide lavale ja hüüdsid suure häälega Issanda, oma Jumala poole.

⁴Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.

⁵Ja leviidid Jeesua, Kadmiel, Baani, Hasabneja, Seerebja, Hoodija, Sebanja ja Petahja ütlesid: 'Tõuske üles ja kiitke Issandat, oma Jumalat, igavesest ajast igavesti, ja õnnistage tema aulist nime, mis on ülem kui kõik kiitus ja ülistus!

⁵Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting! Bessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

⁶Sina üksi oled Issand, sina oled teinud taeva, taevaste taevad ja kõik nende väe, maa ja kõik, mis selle peal on, mered ja kõik, mis neis on. Sina annad neile kõigile elu ja taevavägi kummardab sind.

⁶You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

⁷Sina, Issand, oled Jumal, kes valis Aabrami ja tõi tema kaldealaste Uurist ning pani temale nimeks Aabraham.

⁷You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram, and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,

⁸Sina leidsid tema südame sinu ees ustava olevat ja sa tegid temaga lepingu, et sa annad tema soole kaananlaste, hettide, emorlaste, perislaste, jebuuslaste ja girgaaslaste maa. Ja sa pidasid oma sõna, sest sina oled õige.

⁸and found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.

⁹Sina nägid meie vanemate viletsust Egiptuses ja kuulsid nende kisendamist Kõrkjamere ääres.

⁹“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds ,

¹⁰Sina tegid tunnustähti ja imetegusid vaarao ja kõigi tema sulaste ja kogu tema maa rahva kallal, sest sa teadsid, et nad nende vastu ülbed olid olnud, ja sa tegid enesele nime, nagu see tänapäevalgi on.

¹⁰and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land; for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is this day.

¹¹Sina lõhestasid nende ees mere ja nad läksid kuiva mööda mere keskelt läbi; aga nende tagaajajad sa viskasid sügavustesse otsekui kivi võimsasse vette.

¹¹You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.

¹²Sina juhtisid neid pilvesambas päeval ja tulesambas öösel, et valgustada neile teed, mida nad pidid käima.

¹²Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

¹³Ja sa tulid alla Siinai mäele ja rääkisid nendega taevast ning andsid neile õiged seadlused, tõsised õpetused, head määrused ja käsud.

¹³“You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,

¹⁴Sina tegid neile teatavaks oma püha hingamispäeva ja sa andsid neile käsud, määrused ja Seaduse oma sulase Moosese läbi.

¹⁴and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,

¹⁵Sina andsid neile taevast leiba, kui neil oli nälg, ja lasksid neile kaljust vett voolata, kui neil oli janu. Ja sa käskisid neid minna pärima maad, mille sa kätt tõstes olid lubanud neile anda.

¹⁵and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.

¹⁶Aga nemad, meie vanemad, läksid ülbeks, olid kangekaelsed ega kuulnud su käske.

¹⁶“But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,

¹⁷Nad tõrkusid kuulmast ega tuletanud meelde sinu imetegusid, mis sa neile olid teinud, vaid olid kangekaelsed ja oma tõrksuses võtsid nad pähe oma orjapõlve tagasi minna. Aga sina oled andeksandja Jumal, armuline ja halastaja, pika meelega ja rikas heldusest; sina ei jätnud neid maha.

¹⁷and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

¹⁸Kuigi nad tegid endile valatud vasika ja ütlesid: 'See on su jumal, kes sind Egiptusest välja tõi!' ja kuigi nad suuri teotusi korda saatsid,

¹⁸Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies;

¹⁹ei jätnud sina siiski neid kõrbes maha oma suure halastuse pärast. Pilvesammas ei lahkunud neist päeval, juhatamast neid teekonnal, ega tulesammas öösel, valgustamast neile teed, mida nad käisid.

¹⁹yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

²⁰Sina andsid neile oma hea Vaimu, et neid targaks teha, oma mannat sa ei keelanud nende suudele ja andsid neile vett, kui neil oli janu.

²⁰You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.

²¹Nelikümmend aastat toitsid sa neid kõrbes, neil ei puudunud midagi, ei kulunud nende riided ega paistetanud jalad.

²¹“Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.

²²Ja sa andsid neile kuningriigid ja rahvad ning jagasid need jaokaupa: nõnda pärisid nad Siihoni maa, Hesboni kuninga maa, ja Oogi, Baasani kuninga maa.

²²Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

²³Ja sa tegid nende lapsed paljuks nagu taevatähed ja viisid nad maale, mille kohta sa nende vanemaile olid öelnud, et nad lähevad seda pärima.

²³You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

²⁴Ja lapsed tulid ning pärisid maa, ja sina alandasid nende ees maa elanikud, kaananlased, ja andsid nad nende kätte, nende kuningad ja maa rahvad, et nad talitaksid nendega, nagu neile meeldib.

²⁴“So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.

²⁵Ja nad vallutasid kindlustatud linnad ja rammusa maa ning pärisid kojad, mis olid täis kõike head, suurel hulgal raiutud kaevusid, viinamägesid, õlipuid ja viljapuid. Nad sõid, nende kõht sai täis, nad läksid lihavaks ja elasid hästi sinu suure headuse tõttu.

²⁵They took fortified cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

²⁶Ometi olid nad tõrksad ja hakkasid sulle vastu, heitsid sinu Seaduse selja taha ja tapsid sinu prohvetid, kes neid manitsesid sinu juurde tagasi pöörduma; ja nad saatsid korda suuri teotusi.

²⁶“Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their back, and killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.

²⁷Seepärast sa andsid nad nende vaenlaste kätte ja need rõhusid neid. Aga sel ajal, kui neil kitsas käes oli, kisendasid nad sinu poole ja sina kuulsid taevast ning andsid neile oma suure halastuse pärast päästjaid, kes päästsid nad nende vaenlaste käest.

²⁷Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.

²⁸Aga kui nad said hingata, siis nad tegid jälle kurja sinu ees. Ja sina jätsid nad nende vaenlaste kätte, et need valitseksid nende üle. Aga kui nad jälle sind hüüdsid, siis sa kuulsid taevast ja päästsid nad oma halastuse pärast palju kordi.

²⁸But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore left you them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,

²⁹Ja sa manitsesid neid tagasi pöörduma sinu Seaduse juurde, aga nemad olid ülbed ega kuulnud su käske, vaid patustasid su seadluste vastu, mida inimene peab täitma, et ellu jääda, ja pöörasid tõrksalt selja ning olid kangekaelsed ega kuulnud mitte.

²⁹and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they dealt proudly, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.

³⁰Sa kannatasid nendega palju aastaid ja manitsesid neid oma Vaimu läbi oma prohvetite kaudu, aga nad ei pannud seda tähele; seepärast sa andsid nad teiste maade rahvaste kätte.

³⁰Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet would they not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

³¹Aga oma suure halastuse pärast ei teinud sa neile lõppu ega jätnud neid maha, sest sina oled armuline ja halastaja Jumal!

³¹“Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

³²Ja nüüd, meie Jumal, suur, vägev ja kartustäratav Jumal, kes peab lepingut ja osutab heldust: ära pea väheseks kõike seda kannatust, mis on tabanud meid, meie kuningaid, meie vürste, meie preestreid, meie prohveteid, meie vanemaid ja kogu su rahvast Assuri kuningate päevist kuni tänapäevani!

³²Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.

³³Sina oled õiglane kõiges, mis meie peale on tulnud, sest sina oled osutanud ustavust, meie aga oleme olnud õelad.

³³However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly;

³⁴Jah, meie kuningad, meie vürstid, meie preestrid ja meie vanemad ei ole teinud su Seaduse järgi, ei ole tähele pannud su käske ja manitsusi, millega sa neid manitsesid.

³⁴neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them.

³⁵Nad ei teeninud sind oma kuningriigis, hoolimata sinu suurest headusest, mida sa neile osutasid, ja hoolimata avarast ja rammusast maast, mille sa neile olid andnud, ega pöördunud oma kurjadest tegudest.

³⁵For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them, neither did they turn from their wicked works.

³⁶Vaata, me oleme nüüd sulased. Maal, mille sa andsid meie vanemaile, et nad sööksid selle vilja ja häid asju, vaata, seal me oleme sulased.

³⁶“Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in it.

³⁷Selle rikkalik saak läheb neile kuningaile, keda sa meie pattude pärast oled pannud meie üle; nemad valitsevad meie ihu ja meie karjade üle, nagu neile meeldib, ja meie oleme suures hädas.'

³⁷It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

³⁸Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
