³ Zama i ga alfaga beeri kulu daŋ hal a ma nooyaŋey da sargayey salle. Woodin sabbay se no a ga tilas _alfaga beeri|_ woone mo ma bara nda hay fo kaŋ a ga du ka salle.

⁸For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

⁹Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

⁹ Manti sappa kaŋ dumo ay te d'i kaayey, hano kaŋ hane ay n'i kambe di k'i kaa Misira laabo ra. Zama i mana ay sappa gaay, ay mo man'i saalu. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁹not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

¹⁰For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
