1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
1 Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:
2Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them all, and set him for their watchman:
2 Boro izo, ma salaŋ ni borey se ka ne: Hala day ay na takuba candi ka kande laabu fo gaa, laabo din borey mo ga boro fo suuban ngey game ra, i ga bora din daŋ a ma ciya ngey se batuko.
3if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
3 Nga mo, d'a di takuba goono ga ba ka kaa laabo din gaa, a ma hilli kar ka borey kaa baaru.
4then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
4 To, boro kulu kaŋ maa hillo hẽeno, a na saalay kaa mo, da takuba kaa ka bora din ŋwa, kal a kuri alhakko ma goro nga bumbo din boŋ.
5He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
5 Zama a maa hillo hẽeno, a na saalay kaa ka muray. A kuro alhakko go a boŋ, zama nd'a na bayrandiyaŋo saal, doŋ a ga du ka yana nda nga fundo.
6But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
6 Amma hala day batukwa di takuba goono ga kaa, a mana hilli kar mo, jama mo mana du baaru, kala takuba kaa ka boro fo ŋwa i ra -- boro woodin, a taalo ra no i n'a wi, amma ay g'a kuro alhakko ceeci batukwa gaa.
7So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
7 Yaadin cine no ni go, nin, boro izo: ay na ni daŋ ma ciya batuko Israyla dumo se. Woodin sabbay se no, ni ma maa sanni kaŋ ay meyo ga ci ka kaseeti i gaa ay se.
8When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
8 D'ay ne boro laalo se: Ya nin boro laalo, daahir no ni ga bu -- ni mo, ni mana salaŋ zama ni ma boro laala din kaseeti hala a ma nga fonda naŋ, to, boro laala din ga bu nga taalo ra. Amma ay g'a kuro alhakko hã ni gaa.
9But if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
9 Amma, hala day ni na boro laala kaseeti zama a ma fay da nga fonda, nga mo, a mana bare ka nga fonda naŋ, kulu a ga bu nga taalo ra, amma nin wo, ni na ni fundo kaa kambe.
10And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should we live?
10 Ni mo, boro izo, ni ma ne Israyla dumo se: Araŋ wo ne: «Iri taaley da iri zunubey go iri boŋ. Iri go ga ban mo i sabbay se. Mate no iri ga te ka faaba nd'a binde?»
11Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
11 Kala ni ma ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ze d'ay fundo, ay sinda kaani maayaŋ fo boro laalo buuyaŋ se. Dambe day ilaala din ma bare ka fay da nga fonda, hal a ma funa. Wa bare, wa bare fa! ka fay d'araŋ fondo laaley! Ya Israyla dumo, ifo se no araŋ ga ba araŋ ma bu?
12And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.
12 Ni mo, boro izo, ma ne ni borey se: Adilante adilitara s'a faaba han kaŋ hane a na taali te bo. Laalakoy mo, a laala s'a zeeri han kaŋ hane a bare ka fay da nga goy laaley. Adilante mo si hin ka funa nga adilitara sabbay se han kaŋ hane a na zunubi te.
13When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.
13 D'ay ne adilante se kaŋ daahir a ga funa, da nga mo de nga boŋ adilitara gaa hal a na taali te mo, i si fongu a adilitaray goyey kulu kaŋ a te gaa, amma a taalo kaŋ a te din se no a ga bu.
14And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;
14 Hala hõ mo koyne, d'ay ne boro laalo se kaŋ daahir a ga bu -- nga mo, d'a bare ka fay da nga zunubo, a na haŋ kaŋ ga saba da haŋ kaŋ ga halal te mo,
15if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
15 sanda nga din, ilaala, d'a na tolme yeti nga koyo se, a na haŋ kaŋ nga kom mo yeti koyne, a na hin sanney kaŋ ga kande fundi gana, a mana zunubi fo te -- daahir a ga funa no, a si bu bo.
16None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.
16 A zunubey kaŋ a te din, i si baa afolloŋ gaay a boŋ koyne, za kaŋ a na haŋ kaŋ ga saba nda haŋ kaŋ ga halal te. Daahir no a ga funa.
17Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
17 Kulu nda yaadin, ni borey goono ga ne: «Koy Beero fonda no si saba,» amma ngey din, i fondey day no si saba.
18When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.
18 Da adilante bare ka fay da nga adilitara, a na zunubi te mo, a ga bu woodin sabbay se.
19And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things.
19 Wala mo, da boro laalo no ka bare ka fay da nga laalayaŋo, a go mo, a ga haŋ kaŋ ga saba nda haŋ kaŋ ga halal te, woodin sabbay se no nga mo ga funa.
20Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
20 Amma araŋ ne: «Koy Beero fonda no si saba.» Ya araŋ Israyla dumo, araŋ afo kulu, bora fonda boŋ no ay ga ciiti a se.
21And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten!
21 Iri tamtara jiiri way cindi hinkanta, a handu wayanta, jirbi guwanta hane, kala boro fo kaŋ du ka yana Urusalima ra kaa ay do ka ne: «I na gallo ŋwa!»
22Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
22 Hala bora kaŋ du ka yana din ga kaa, wiciri kambo, kulu Rabbi kamba go ay boŋ. A n'ay meyo fiti mo, hala waati kaŋ cine bora din kaa susuba ra, ay meyo go feerante, kaŋ ay mana ye ka dangay koyne.
23And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
23 Alwaato din ra Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:
24Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is given us for a possession.
24 Boro izo, ngey kaŋ goono ga goro nangu kurmey wo ra Israyla laabo ra, i goono ga ne: «Ibrahim ya boro folloŋ no, a na laabo kulu tubu mo. Amma iri wo, iri ga baa gumo. Rabbi na iri no laabo, iri tubu hari no.»
25Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?
25 Ni binde ma ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Araŋ ga ham ŋwa nda nga kuro, araŋ goono g'araŋ toorey guna ka kuri mun. Yaadin gaa, araŋ ga laabo ŋwa no, wala?
26Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
26 Araŋ kaŋ goono ga naanay araŋ takubey gaa, ya araŋ fanta hari teekoy, araŋ kulu kaŋ g'araŋ gorokasin wande sara, araŋ no ga laabo ŋwa, wala?
27Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
27 Haŋ kaŋ ni ga ci i se neeya: Rabbi, Koy Beero ne: Ay ze d'ay fundo, haciika baa borey kaŋ go nangu kurmey din ra, ngey mo takuba g'i zeeri. Borey kaŋ go saajo batama ra mo, ay g'i nooyandi ganji hamey se i m'i ŋwa ka ban. Borey kaŋ go wongu fuwey da tondi guusey ra, ngey mo balaaw g'i wi.
28And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolated, so that none shall pass through.
28 Ay ga laabo ciya kurmu koonu mo. A hino boŋbeera ga ban. Israyla tondi kuukey mo ga ciya kurmu, boro kulu si gana i ra.
29And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.
29 Waato din gaa no i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, waato kaŋ ay na laabo ciya kurmu koonu, fanta harey kulu kaŋ i te din sabbay se.
30And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.
30 Ni bumbo mo, boro izo, ni sanni: ni borey goono ga ni sanni te birni cinaro do haray da windi meyey gaa mo. I goono ga salaŋ ngey nda care se, boro fo kulu nda nga nya-ize ka ne: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray no, wa kaa ka maa sanni kaŋ fun Rabbi do.»
31And they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.
31 I ga kaa ni do sanda mate kaŋ i doona ka te. I ga goro ni jine danga ngey ciya ay boroyaŋ no. I go ga maa ni sanney, amma i si i goyo te. Zama i meyey ra no i ga baakasinay boobo cabe, amma i biney go i duura do haray.
32And behold, thou art unto them as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, and one that playeth well on an instrument; and they hear thy words, but they do them not.
32 A go mo, nin wo Ezeciyel, baakasinay doonko no ni ga hima i se, boro kaŋ gonda farhã kaano jinde, kaŋ ga waani foori hari karyaŋ gumo. Zama i go ga maa ni sanney, amma i si i goyo te.
33And when this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
33 Da woodin te -- a go mo, a ga ba ka sintin -- waato din gaa no i ga bay kaŋ annabi goro ngey do waato.
