¹Kogunege ja olge koos, häbitu rahvas,

¹Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,

²enne kui tuleb määratud päev, mil lendate ära kui aganad, enne kui teie peale tuleb Issanda tuline viha, enne kui teie peale tuleb Issanda vihapäev!

²before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.

³Otsige Issandat, kõik alandlikud maal, kes te teostate tema õigust! Otsige õiglust, otsige alandlikkust, vahest leiate varju Issanda vihapäeval!

³Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.

⁴Sest Assa jäetakse maha ja Askelon jääb tühjaks, Asdod aetakse ära keskpäeval ja Ekron juuritakse välja.

⁴For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.

⁵Häda teile, ranniku elanikud, kreedi rahvas! Issanda sõna on teie vastu, Kaanan, vilistite maa; ma hävitan sind asustamatuks.

⁵Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.

⁶Sest kreetide mererand jääb karjastele karjamaaks ning lammastele ja kitsedele taradeks.

⁶The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

⁷See rannik saab Juuda soo jäägile - seal nad hoiavad karja, lebavad õhtuti Askeloni kodades; sest Issand, nende Jumal, tunneb muret nende pärast ja pöörab nende vangipõlve.

⁷The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , will visit them, and restore them.

⁸Ma olen kuulnud Moabi teotust ja ammonlaste sõimu, millega nad on teotanud mu rahvast ja on suurustanud ta maa ees.

⁸I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

⁹Seepärast, nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb vägede Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, saab Moab Soodoma ja ammonlased Gomorra sarnaseks, kureherne kasvukohaks, soolalaukaks, ja igavesti laastatuks; mu rahva jääk riisub neid, mu rahva riismed vallutavad need.

⁹Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

¹⁰See saab neile osaks nende kõrkuse eest, sest nad on teotanud vägede Issanda rahvast ja on suurustanud selle ees.

¹⁰This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.

¹¹Issand saab neile kardetavaks, sest ta laseb kaduda kõik maa jumalad; ja nad peavad kummardama teda, igaüks oma paigas, kõik paganate saared.

¹¹Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

¹²Ka teid, etiooplased, lüüakse maha mu mõõgaga.

¹²You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.

¹³Ta sirutab oma käe põhja poole ja hävitab Assuri; ta teeb Niineve lagedaks, kuivaks nagu kõrbe.

¹³He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.

¹⁴Keset linna lebavad karjad, kõiksugu metsloomade hulgad. Niihästi puguhaned kui öökullid ööbivad selle sambanuppudel. Kuule, kuidas nad huikavad aknaaukudes! Häving on lävede peal, jah, seedrivooderdis on ära kistud.

¹⁴Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

¹⁵See on see ülemeelik linn, kes elas muretult, kes mõtles südames: 'Mina, ja ei keegi muu!' Kuidas see küll on muutunud lagedaks, metsloomadele lebamispaigaks! Igaüks, kes läheb sellest mööda, vilistab ja laiutab käsi.

¹⁵This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is none besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
