¹Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Moába a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože spálil kosti kráľa Edoma na vápno.

¹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime,

²A preto pošlem oheň na Moába, a strávi paláce Kerijjóta, a Moáb zomrie v surme za vojenného kriku a za zvuku trúby.

²And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With shouting, with voice of a trumpet.

³A vyplienim sudcu z jeho stredu a všetky jeho kniežatá pobijem s ním, hovorí Hospodin.

⁴Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Júdu a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože zavrhli zákon Hospodinov a neostríhali jeho ustanovení, a zaviedly ich do bludu ich lži, za ktorými chodili ich otcovia.

⁴Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk,

⁵A preto pošlem oheň na Júdu, a strávi paláce Jeruzalema.

⁵And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.

⁶Takto hovorí Hospodin: Pre troje prestúpení Izraela a pre štvoro neodvrátim toho, pretože predávali spravedlivého za peniaze a núdzneho pre pár obuvi,

⁶Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals.

⁷ktorí dychtia po prachu zeme na hlave chudobných a nakrivujú cestu pokorných, a k tomu i syn i jeho otec chodia ku tej istej dievke, aby poškvrňovali meno mojej svätosti.

⁷Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name.

⁸A na založených rúchach sa zohýnajú vedľa každého oltára a pijú víno pokutovaných v dome svojho boha,

⁸And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of their gods.

⁹kým som ja vyhladil Amoreja zpred ich tvári, ktorého výška bola jako výška cedier, a bol mocný jako duby; no, jednako som zahladil jeho ovocie shora a jeho korene zdola.

⁹And I — I have destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is] as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots from beneath.

¹⁰A ja som vás vyviedol hore z Egyptskej zeme a vodil som vás po púšti štyridsať rokov, aby ste dedične vládli zemou Amoreja.

¹⁰And I — I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the land of the Amorite.

¹¹A vzbudzoval som zpomedzi vašich synov za prorokov a zpomedzi vašich mládencov za nazarejov. Alebo či nie je tak, synovia Izraelovi? hovorí Hospodin.

¹¹And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice ones for Nazarites, Is not this true, O sons of Israel? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹²Ale vy ste napájali nazarejov vínom a prorokom ste zakazovali a vraveli: Neprorokujte!

¹²And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, `Do not prophecy!`

¹³Hľa, ja budem tlačiť na vás tam, kde ste, jako tlačí voz, plný snopov.

¹³Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press for itself a sheaf.

¹⁴A zahynie útočište ľahkému čo do behu, a silný nedodá pevnosti svojej vláde, ani hrdina nezachráni útekom svojej duše,

¹⁴And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his soul.

¹⁵a ten, kto chytá lučište, neobstojí, a ľahký čo do svojich nôh neunikne, jako ani ten, kto jazdí na koni, nezachráni útekom svojej duše.

¹⁵And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with his feet delivereth not [himself], And the rider of the horse delivereth not his soul.

¹⁶Ale i ten, kto je zmužilého srdca medzi hrdinami, bude utekať nahý toho dňa, hovorí Hospodin.

¹⁶And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah!
