¹Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!

¹Vargas maištingam, suteptam ir pilnam smurto miestui!

²She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.

²Jis nepakluso balsui, nepriėmė pamokymų, nepasitikėjo Viešpačiu, nesiartino prie savo Dievo.

³Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

³Jo kunigaikščiai yra riaumojantys liūtai, teisėjai­stepių vilkai, kurie nieko nepalieka kitam.

⁴Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.

⁴Jo pranašai lengvabūdžiai ir neištikimi, jo kunigai suteršė šventyklą ir laužo įstatymą.

⁵Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.

⁵Teisus Viešpats yra jame, Jis nedaro neteisybės, kas rytą ištikimai apreiškia savo teisingumą. Tačiau neteisieji nepažįsta gėdos.

⁶I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.

⁶“Aš išnaikinau tautas. Jų bokštai sugriauti, jų gatvės tuščios, niekas jomis nebevaikščioja. Jų miestai nusiaubti, be gyventojų.

⁷I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her.” But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.

⁷Aš tariau: ‘Tu, Jeruzale, bijosi manęs ir priimsi mano pamokymą’, kad nesunaikinčiau jų, kaip grasinau. Tačiau jie vis labiau nusikalto.

⁸“Therefore wait for me,” says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

⁸Laukite manęs,­sako Viešpats,­laukite tos dienos, kai pakilsiu plėšti. Aš nusprendžiau surinkti tautas, sutelkti karalystes, išlieti ant jų savo rūstybę. Mano pavydo ugnis sunaikins visą žemę.

⁹For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of Yahweh, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.

⁹Tada Aš duosiu tautoms tyrą kalbą, kad jos visos galėtų šauktis Viešpaties ir vieningai Jam tarnauti.

¹⁰From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.

¹⁰Iš anapus Etiopijos upių ateis mano išsklaidytieji ir atneš man aukų.

¹¹In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.

¹¹Tuomet nebereikės tau gėdytis savo darbų, kuriais maištavai prieš mane. Aš pašalinsiu tavyje pasipūtėlius, tu nebesididžiuosi mano šventajame kalne.

¹²But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.

¹²Aš paliksiu tavyje nuolankius ir nusižeminusius, kurie pasitikės Viešpaties vardu.

¹³The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”

¹³Izraelio likutis elgsis teisingai, vengs melo ir klastos. Jie gyvens ramiai ir be baimės”.

¹⁴Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.

¹⁴Giedok garsiai, Siono dukra! Šauk, Izraeli! Linksminkis ir džiūgauk visa širdimi, Jeruzalės dukra!

¹⁵Yahweh has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.

¹⁵Viešpats panaikino tavo nuosprendį, pašalino tavo priešus. Viešpats, Izraelio Karalius, yra su tavimi­tu nebematysi pikta.

¹⁶In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”

¹⁶Tą dieną sakys Jeruzalei: “Nebijok!”, ir Sionui: “Nenuleisk rankų!”

¹⁷Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

¹⁷Viešpats, tavo Dievas, esantis tavyje, yra galingas. Jis išgelbės, Jis džiaugsis tavimi, atgaivins tave savo meile ir džiūgaus dėl tavęs giedodamas.

¹⁸I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.

¹⁸“Aš pašalinsiu nelaimes ir panieką,

¹⁹Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.

¹⁹saugosiu tave nuo prispaudėjų, padėsiu raišam, surinksiu išsklaidytuosius, jų gėdą paversiu garbe.

²⁰At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.

²⁰Tada, surinkęs jus, parvesiu namo. Aš jus išaukštinsiu ir suteiksiu jums vardą visose žemės tautose, kai parvesiu jūsų ištremtuosius, jums patiems matant”,­sako Viešpats.
