1And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near, ye that have charge of the city, and every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.
1 Waato din gaa no ay maa a jinde bambata ay hanga ra kaŋ ne: Ya araŋ, gallo borey wiikoy, wa maan, boro fo kulu nda halaciyaŋ wongu jinay nga kambe ra!
2And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man [with] his slaughter weapon in his hand; and in the midst of them, one man clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
2 Kala boro iddu go, i kaa ka fun beene meyo fonda gaa haray, wo kaŋ ga azawa kambe haray guna. Afo kulu gonda wiyaŋ deesi nga kambe ra. I ra boro fa gonda lin* bankaaray nga gaahamo gaa, da dawa kulba nga canta gaa. I furo ka kay guuru-say sargay feema jarga.
3And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn by his side;
3 Gaa no Israyla Irikoyo darza ziji ka fun ciiti malaykey* boŋ, nango kaŋ a go za doŋ, ka koy hala fuwo kutijo gaa. Kala Rabbi na bora kaŋ gonda lin bankaara din ce, nga kaŋ gonda dawa kulba nga canta gaa.
4and Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
4 Rabbi ne a se: Ma koy ka gana gallo bindi ra, sanda Urusalima bindo ra nooya. Borey kaŋ goono ga bine jisi, i goono ga hẽ mo fanta goy kulu kaŋ borey goono ga te kwaara ra sabbay se, ni ma seeda daŋ i se i sukutey gaa.
5And to the others he said in my hearing, Go after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have pity.
5 Ay maa a ne cindey mo se: Wa koy a banda. Wa gallo gana ka _borey|_ kar. Araŋ ma si dogonandi i gaa, wa si bakar i se mo.
6Slay utterly the old man, the young man, and the maiden, and little children, and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elders who were before the house.
6 Wa mallaka -- dottijo zeeno, da arwasu, da wandiyo, da zanka kayna, da wayboro. Amma araŋ ma si maan boro kulu kaŋ seeda go a gaa. Wa sintin mo za ay nangu hanna ra. I binde sintin da fu meyo gaa arkusey.
7And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
7 A ye ka ne i se koyne: Wa fuwo ziibandi, wa batamey toonandi nda borey kaŋ i wi yaŋ, gaa araŋ ma fatta taray. I binde fatta, i goono ga wi gallo ra.
8And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
8 A go, za i go wiyaŋo gaa, ay go no, ay hinne. Kal ay kaŋ ganda birante ay moyduma boŋ ka hẽ ka ne: «Kaari, ya Rabbi, Koy Beero! Ni futa kaŋ ni go ga gusam Urusalima boŋ ra, ni ga boro kaŋ cindi Israyla se kulu ban no?»
9And he said unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness; for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the earth, and Jehovah seeth not.
9 Kala a ne ay se: Israyla nda Yahuda zunubey je gumo. Laabo to da kuri, gallo mo go toonante nda siiriyaŋ. Zama i goono ga ne: «Rabbi na laabo naŋ, Rabbi siino ga di!»
10And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense their way upon their head.
10 Ay mo, ay si dogonandi i se, ay si bakar i se mo, amma ay g'i goyey alhakku candi ka kande i boŋ.
11And behold, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
11 Gaa no bora kaŋ gonda lin bankaaray nga gaahamo gaa, da dawa kulba nga canta gaa din, nga ka kande misa baaro. A ne: «Haya kaŋ ni n'ay lordi* nd'a, ay n'a te.»
