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

¹ Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

²Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, Alas for the day!

² Boro izo, ma annabitaray te ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi Irikoy ci: Wa wurru ka ne: «Kaari zaaro din se!»

³For the day is at hand, yea, the day of Jehovah is at hand, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the nations.

³ Zama zaaro maan, danga Rabbi zaaro maan nooya. A ga ciya beene hirriyaŋey han, A ga ciya dumi cindey waado alwaati.

⁴And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and there shall be anguish in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be overthrown.

⁴ Takuba ga kaa Misira gaa. Gurzugay ga bara Etiyopi ra, Waati kaŋ borey kaŋ wongu ga wi yaŋ goono ga kaŋ Misira ra, A g'a arzaka ku, a g'a dabey bagu-bagu mo.

⁵Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

⁵ Etiyopi, da Libi, da Ludu, da Laarabey laabo kulu, da Kub, da amaana laabo izey, takuba g'i zeeri Misira banda.

⁶Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down: from Migdol to Syene shall they fall in her by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁶ Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ngey din kaŋ goono ga Misira gaabandi, Ngey mo ga kaŋ. A hino boŋbeera ga ye ganda. Za Migdol gaa kal a ma koy Siyen gaa, I kulu ga kaŋ da takuba a ra. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

⁷And they shall be desolated in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

⁷ I ga ciya kurmuyaŋ laabey kaŋ sinda gorokoyaŋ game ra. A galley mo go galley kaŋ i bagu-bagu yaŋ game ra.

⁸And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers shall be broken.

⁸ I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, D'ay na danji daŋ Misira gaa. A gaakoy mo, i kulu ga ceeri.

⁹In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships, to make careless Ethiopia afraid; and anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for behold, it cometh!

⁹ Han din hane diyayaŋ ga fun ay do ka koy hiyaŋ ra zama i ma Etiyopi borey kaŋ goro baani samay ra humburandi. Gurzugay ga kaa i gaa sanda Misira zaaro cine wane. Zama nga neeya: a goono ga kaa!

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.

¹⁰ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga Misira borey ban Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kambe ra.

¹¹He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with slain.

¹¹ Nga nda nga borey care banda, Ngey kaŋ biney ga bi ka bisa dumey kulu, Ay g'i candi ka kand'ey, Zama ngey ma laabo halaci se. I ga takuba foobu ka Misira wongu, I ma laabo toonandi nda borey kaŋ i wi mo.

¹²And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I Jehovah have spoken [it].

¹² Ay ga naŋ Nil goorey ma sundu, Ya laabo neera boro laalo fooyaŋ se. Ya laabo nda haŋ kaŋ go a ra kulu ciya kurmu yawyaŋ kambe ra. Ay, Rabbi no k'a ci.

¹³Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out of the land of Egypt; and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

¹³ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga toorey halaci, Ya naŋ mo himandi-himandey ma ban Nof ra. I si ye ka mayko fo daŋ koyne kaŋ Misira ize no. Ay ga humburkumay daŋ Misira laabo ra mo.

¹⁴And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgment in No.

¹⁴ Patros mo, ay g'a ciya kurmu, Ya danji daŋ Zowan gaa, Kwaara kaŋ se i ga ne Nof mo, Ya ciiti toonandi a ra.

¹⁵And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.

¹⁵ Ay g'ay futa gusam Sin boŋ, Kaŋ ci Misira wongu cinaro, Ya No kwaara jama mo alandaaba.

¹⁶And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be rent asunder, and at Noph [there shall be] enemies in open day.

¹⁶ Ya danji daŋ Misira laabo gaa. Sin ga koli foyriyaŋ ra, i ga Nof bagu, Nof mo ga di taabi han kulu.

¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these shall go into captivity.

¹⁷ Aben da Pibeset ra sahãkooney, takuba g'i zeeri, I wayborey mo ga koy tamtaray ra.

¹⁸And at Tehaphnehes the day shall be darkened, when I break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her strength shall cease in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

¹⁸ Tafanes ra mo, wayna ga te kubay waati kaŋ cine ay na Misira caley* ceeri noodin. A hino boŋbeera mo ga ban noodin a ra. Nga bumbo din mo, buru g'a daabu, A ize wayey mo ga koy tamtaray ra.

¹⁹Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁹ Yaadin cine no ay ga ciiti toonandi nd'a Misira gaa, I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.

²⁰And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²⁰ Jiiri way cindi fa ra, a handu sintina, jirbi iyyanta hane, kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:

²¹Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it shall not be bound up to apply remedies, to put a bandage to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

²¹ Boro izo, ay na Misira bonkoono Firawna kambe ceeri. A go mo, i man'a didiji a ma dabu ka te baani se, kaŋ ga naŋ a ma te gaabi kaŋ ga takuba gaay.

²²Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong one, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

²² Woodin sabbay se binde, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga gaaba nda Misira bonkoono Firawna, ay g'a kambey ceeri-ceeri, wo kaŋ gonda baani da wo kaŋ jin ka ceeri din. Ay ma naŋ takuba ma fun a kambe ra ka kaŋ.

²³And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

²³ Ay ma Misirancey say-say ndunnya dumey ra, ay g'i fay-fay laabu cindey ra.

²⁴And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; and I will break Pharaoh's arms, so that he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly-wounded [man].

²⁴ Zama ay ga Babila bonkoono kambey gaabandi k'ay takuba daŋ a kambe ra. Amma ay ga Firawna kambey ceeri-ceeri, zama a ma duray a jine nda durayyaŋ danga boro kaŋ gonda buuyaŋ marayyaŋ wane.

²⁵And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it out upon the land of Egypt.

²⁵ Yaadin cine no ay ga Babila bonkoono kambey gaabandi nd'a, amma Firawna waney ga sooli. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, saaya kaŋ cine ay n'ay takuba daŋ Babila bonkoono kambe ra, a n'a salle mo ka gaaba nda Misira laabo.

²⁶And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

²⁶ Waato kaŋ ay na Misirancey say-say ndunnya dumey ra, k'i fay-fay ndunnya laabey ra, i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.
