¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹ Rabbi sanno ye ka kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

²Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.

² Boro izo, za doŋ wayboro hinka fo go no, kaŋ nya folloŋ izeyaŋ no.

³And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity.

³ I na kaaruwataray* te Misira laabo ra, i na ngey kaaruwatara te ngey zankatara waate. Noodin alborey n'i fafey kankam-kankam, noodin i n'i wandiyay waate fafa deeney ham-ham.

⁴And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

⁴ I maayey neeya: ibeero maa ga ti Ohola, a kayno mo maa Oholiba. I ciya ay wane yaŋ. I na izeyaŋ hay mo, alboro nda wayboro. I maayey din sanno gaa, Samariya ga ti Ohola, Urusalima mo ga ti Oholiba.

⁵And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians [her] neighbours,

⁵ Ohola wo na kaaruwataray te za a go ay hiija ra. A bina kulu ye nga baakoy gaa, kaŋ ga ti a gorokasiney Assiriyancey,

⁶clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

⁶ suudi bankaaray koyey, mayraykoyey da maykoy no. Ikulu arwasuyaŋ no kaŋ ga beejandi, kaŋ yaŋ ga kaaru bariyaŋ boŋ.

⁷And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

⁷ A na nga kaaruwatara gomno gusam i se, ngey Assiriya arwasu suubanantey kulu. Hala nda borey kaŋ a bina ga ba r'ey gumo, a na nga boŋ ziibandi i toorey kulu do.

⁸Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her.

⁸ Za Misira jirbey waate, a mana nga kaaruwatara naŋ, zama za a go wandiyo no i kani nd'a. I n'a zankataray fafa deeney ham-ham, i na ngey goy yaamey gusam a se mo.

⁹Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.

⁹ Woodin se no ay n'a daŋ nga baakoy kambe ra, kaŋ ga ti Assiriyancey kambe ra, ngey kaŋ a bine ga ba gumo.

¹⁰These discovered her nakedness, they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a name among women; and they executed judgment upon her.

¹⁰ I n'a kaa koonu, i n'a izey arey da wayey sambu. Nga bumbo mo, i n'a wi da takuba. A maa baaru furo wayborey do, zama i na ciiti toonandi a se.

¹¹And her sister Oholibah saw [this], and was more corrupt in her passion than she, and in her fornications more than the whoredoms of her sister.

¹¹ A kayno Oholiba mo di woodin, amma nga din bisa nga beero biniyay goyey ra, a kaaruwatara mo bisa beero wano.

¹²She lusted after the children of Asshur [her] neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men.

¹² A bina ba Assiriyancey kaŋ go ga may, kaŋ mayraykoyyaŋ no, a gorokasinyaŋ mo no. I ga bankaaray hanno yaŋ daŋ, kaarukoyaŋ no bariyaŋ boŋ. I kulu arwasuyaŋ no kaŋ ga beejandi.

¹³And I saw that she was defiled: both took one way.

¹³ Ay laakal d'a mo, ay di kaŋ a na nga boŋ ziibandi, i dirawey kulu afolloŋ no.

¹⁴And she increased her fornications; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

¹⁴ Kal a soobay ka tonton nga kaaruwatara gaa, zama a di alborey kaŋ i n'i himandey te cinarey gaa, kaŋ ga ti Kaldancey himandey, ngey kaŋ yaŋ i deedandi nda pantir ciray.

¹⁵girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them captains in appearance, [after] the likeness of the children of Babylon, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.

¹⁵ I gonda guddama ngey cantey gaa, da bangum kaŋ ga sooli i boŋey gaa. I kulu gonda bonkoonitaray himandi, Babila borey deedando boŋ, Kaldiya ra, laabo kaŋ i n'i hay din ra.

¹⁶And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

¹⁶ Za a di ey mo, a bina bare ka ye i gaa da baakasinay, a na diyayaŋ donton i gaa mo hala Kaldiya ra.

¹⁷And the children of Babylon came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their fornication; she too defiled herself with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

¹⁷ Babila borey binde kaa a do a baakasinay daaro boŋ. I n'a ziibandi nda ngey kaaruwatara, hal a ziibi i do, woodin banda a bina fun i ciine ra.

¹⁸And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness; and my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

¹⁸ A binde na nga kaaruwatara feeri, a na nga gaa-koono mo kaa taray. Waato din gaa ay bine fun a ciine ra, sanda mate kaŋ cine ay fun a beero ciine ra.

¹⁹Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she played the harlot in the land of Egypt;

¹⁹ Kulu nda yaadin, a na nga kaaruwatara te kal a baa. A goono ga fongu nga zankataray jirbey gaa, alwaato kaŋ a na nga kaaruwatara te Misira laabo ra.

²⁰and she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is [as] the flesh of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horses.

²⁰ A bina mo ba nga baakoy gumo, borey kaŋ yaŋ i mo-jine sanda farkay waney yaŋ no, i balagey mo sanda bari wane cine yaŋ no.

²¹And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breasts of thy youth.

²¹ Yaadin cine no ni fongu ni zankataray yaamotara gaa. Ni goono ga yalla-yalla nda zankataray fafa deeney ham-hamyaŋo kaŋ Misira borey te, i goono ga ni zankataray fafey kankam-kankam.

²²Therefore, Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side.

²² Woodin sabbay se no, ya nin Oholiba, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: A go, ay ga ni baakoy din daŋ i ma gaaba da nin, ngey kaŋ ni bina fun i ciine ra. Ay g'i candi ka kande ni gaa ka fun kuray kulu.

²³The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

²³ Babila borey da Kaldancey kulu, Pekod da Sowa da Kowa borey, da Assiriyancey kulu care banda, arwasey kaŋ ga beejandi, mayraykoyey da maykoy, dumey kulu waney, koyey da faadancey kaŋ i ga bay -- i kulu ga kaa bariyaŋ boŋ.

²⁴And they shall come against thee [with] armour, chariots and wheels, and with an assemblage of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee [with] target, and shield, and helmet round about; and I will put judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

²⁴ I ga kaa ni gaa da wongu jinay, da torkoyaŋ da wongu guuru hariyaŋ, da ndunnya dumey marga jama. I ga wongu daaga sinji ni se, da koray kayna nda koray beeri, da wongu guuru fuula, kuray kulu gaa. Ay ga ni ciito mo daŋ i kambe ra, i ga ciiti ni se mo ngey ciito boŋ.

²⁵And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

²⁵ Ay cansa ga koroŋ ni boŋ, i ga ni cabe futay mo. I ga ni hangey da ni niina dagu ka kaa ni gaa. Ni jara cindo mo, takuba g'a zeeri. I ga ni ize alborey da wayborey sambu. Ngey kaŋ yaŋ cindi mo, danji g'i ŋwa ka ban.

²⁶They shall also strip the of thy garments, and take away thy fair jewels.

²⁶ I ga ni kaa koonu ka ni taalam jinayey mo kaa ni gaa.

²⁷And I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

²⁷ Yaadin cine no ay ga naŋ ni goy yaama ma ban d'a, da kaaruwatara kaŋ ni kande ka fun d'a Misira laabo ra. Ay ga te mate kaŋ ni si ni boŋ sambu k'i guna koyne, ni si ye ka fongu Misira koyne hal abada.

²⁸For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give thee over into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated.

²⁸ Zama haŋ kaŋ Rabbi, Koy Beero ci neeya: A go, ay ga ni daŋ borey kaŋ yaŋ ni bina wangu kambe ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ni bina fun i ciine ra yaŋ kambe ra.

²⁹And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; so that the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications.

²⁹ I ga ni cabe taabi i ibaretara ra. I ga hay kulu kaŋ ni taabi ka du kom ni gaa, i ma ni naŋ gaa-koonu, bankaaray si. I ga ni kaaruwatara gaa-koono kaa taray, kaŋ ga ti ni goy yaama da ni kaaruwatara kulu.

³⁰These things shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.

³⁰ Hayey din no i ga te ni se zama ni na dumi cindey gana, ni goono ga kaaruwataray te. Zama ni ziibi mo i toorey do.

³¹Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; and I have given her cup into thy hand.

³¹ Ni na ni beero fonda gana, ay binde g'a haŋ-gaasiya daŋ ni kambe ra.

³²Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large; thou shalt be for a laughing-stock and a derision, [for] it containeth much.

³² Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ni beero haŋ-gaasiya kaŋ ga guusu, A ga tafay mo, ni g'a haro haŋ. I ga donda-caray hari te ni se, I ma ni ciya hahaarayaŋ hari.

³³Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Samaria;

³³ Ni ga to da buguyaŋ da bine saray, Zici dumbay da halaciyaŋ haŋ-gaasiya no, Ni beero Samariya haŋ-gaasiya no.

³⁴thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.

³⁴ Ni g'a haŋ ka ban, Hala nd'a gugubey kulu ni g'i kaama. Ni ga ni fafey tooru-tooru, zama ay jin ka salaŋ, Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

³⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy fornications.

³⁵ Woodin sabbay se, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Za kaŋ ni dinya ay gaa, ni n'ay furu ni banda, kala ni mo, ma ni goy yaama da ni kaaruwatara alhakko sambu.

³⁶And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations.

³⁶ Rabbi ye ka ne ay se koyne: Boro izo, ni ga Ohola da Oholiba ciiti, wala? To, kala ni m'i fanta goyey seeda i se.

³⁷For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also passed over unto them their children, whom they bore unto me, to be devoured.

³⁷ Zama i na zina te, kuri mo go i kambey gaa. I zina nda ngey toorey, hal i izey mo, kaŋ i hay ay se, i n'i daŋ danjiyaŋ ra tooru se, a m'i ŋwa ka ban.

³⁸Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths.

³⁸ Hala nda woone mo kaŋ i te ay se koyne, kaŋ ti: han din hane i n'ay nangu hananta ziibandi, i n'ay asibtey halaci mo.

³⁹For when they had slaughtered their children unto their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

³⁹ Zama waati kaŋ cine i na ngey izey wi ka no ngey toorey se, han din hane bumbo no i kaa ay nangu hananta ra zama ngey m'a ziibandi se. A go, yaadin no i te ay fuwo bindo ra.

⁴⁰And furthermore, they sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;

⁴⁰ Haŋ kaŋ jaase woodin mo ga ti: araŋ donton no i ma boroyaŋ ce ka ne i ma kaa ka fun nangu mooro. Diya no araŋ donton i gaa, hala mo a go, i kaa. I sabbay se mo ni koy ka nyumay, ni na moyduma hanse ka nyaalandi, ni na taalam jinayyaŋ daŋ ni gaa.

⁴¹and satest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hadst set mine incense and mine oil.

⁴¹ Ni goro daari kaŋ gonda darza boŋ, taabal mo go a jine soolante, nangu kaŋ ni n'ay dugo d'ay jiyo daŋ.

⁴²And the voice of a multitude living carelessly was with her; and with people of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon their hands, and a beautiful crown upon their heads.

⁴² Boro jama marga jinde kaŋ go a banda baani goray ra, da boro yaamoyaŋ banda mo, i kande buganteyaŋ ka fun saajo ra. Nya izey din kambe hinka-hinkey kulu gaa no i na guuruyaŋ daŋ ka taalam, i boŋey gaa mo koytaray fuula hanno yaŋ go.

⁴³And I said of her that was old in adulteries, Will she now commit her fornications, even she.

⁴³ Waato din gaa no ay na nga kaŋ zeen zina ra din ciine te. Ay ne: Sohõ ni ga kaaruwataray te d'a, mate kaŋ cine a go d'a wo?

⁴⁴And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a whorish woman: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah the lewd women.

⁴⁴ Kal i furo a do, sanda mate kaŋ cine i ga te kaaruwa se. Yaadin cine no i furo nd'a Ohola nda Oholiba do, wayboro ziibantey din.

⁴⁵And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁵ Alborey kaŋ gonda adilitaray ga ciiti i se, ciiti kaŋ dumi i ga te zina-teerey se, da wo kaŋ dumi i ga te wayborey kaŋ na kuri mun se. Zama ngey wo zina-teeriyaŋ no, kuri mo go i kambey gaa.

⁴⁶For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up an assemblage against them, and will give them to be driven hither and thither and spoiled.

⁴⁶ Zama Rabbi, Koy Beero ne: Ay ga boro jama candi ka kande i gaa, ay g'i nooyandi mo tuulamyaŋ da komyaŋ se.

⁴⁷And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

⁴⁷ Jama marga din binde g'i catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ _kal i ma bu|_, i m'i beeri-beeri nda takuba. I g'i ize arey da wayey wi, i m'i windey ton da danji mo.

⁴⁸And I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, and all women shall receive instruction and shall not do according to your lewdness.

⁴⁸ Yaadin cine no ay ga naŋ goy yaamo ma ban d'a laabo ra, zama wayborey kulu ma dondon i ma si goy araŋ goy yaamey wo dumi boŋ.

⁴⁹And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.

⁴⁹ I ga banayaŋ te araŋ se, araŋ laala wano me. Araŋ g'araŋ toorey alhakko sambu. Woodin gaa no araŋ ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, Koy Beero.
