¹Israel is an unpruned vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly statues.

¹ Israyla ya reyzin* nya no kaŋ ga zaada, Kaŋ ga nga izey hay nga boŋ se. Mate kaŋ a izey ga baa, Yaadin cine mo no a sargay feemey ga baa. A laabo albarka misa boŋ no a na tooru taalamante boobo te.

²Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will break down their altars, he will destroy their statues.

² I biney fay ihinka, Sohõ kal i ma ngey taalo jare. Rabbi g'i sargay feemey bagu-bagu, A g'i toorey mo halaci.

³For now they will say, We have no king, for we feared not Jehovah; and a king, what can he do for us?

³ Sohõ kay i ga ne: «Iri sinda bonkooni, Zama iri si humburu Rabbi. Bonkooni binde, ifo no a ga hanse iri se?»

⁵The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calf of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the idolatrous priests thereof shall tremble for it, for its glory, because it is departed from it.

⁵ Samariya gorokoy ga humburu Bayt-Aben handayzey sabbay se, Oho, a borey ga baray i boŋ. A alfagey mo ga hẽ darza kaŋ daray din sabbay se.

⁶Yea, it shall be carried unto Assyria [as] a present for king Jareb: Ephraim shall be seized with shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

⁶ Haya din bumbo, i ga kond'a Assiriya ka te fooyaŋ hari Bonkoono Yareb se. Ifraymu ga haaw, Israyla mo ga haaw. A saawara kaŋ a te din sabbay se.

⁷As for Samaria her king is cut off as chips upon the face of the waters.

⁷ Samariya binde, nga nda nga bonkoono, i g'i dirandi, Danga mate kaŋ tuuri sari ga doy ka dandi hari boŋ.

⁸And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up upon their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us! and to the hills, Fall on us!

⁸ Laala tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey no ga ti Israyla zunubo, ngey mo i g'i halaci. Ndaaniyaŋ da yo-karjiyaŋ ga zay i sargay feemey boŋ. Borey ga ne tondi kuukey se: «Wa iri daabu!» I ma ne tudey mo se: «Wa kaŋ iri boŋ!»

⁹From the days of Gibeah hast thou sinned, O Israel: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.

⁹ Ya Israyla, ni na zunubi te za Jibeya jirbey ra, ni mana fay d'a mo! Wongu kaŋ i ga te taali-teerey se, Manti a ga to r'ey Jibeya ra?

¹¹And Ephraim is a trained heifer, that loveth to tread out [the corn]; I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to draw; Judah shall plough, Jacob shall break his clods.

¹¹ Ifraymu ya zan no kaŋ i dondonandi, Kaŋ ntaaso karayaŋ ga kaan a se. Ay ga calu* daŋ a jinde hanna gaa, Ay ma goy jinay daŋ Ifraymu gaa. Yahuda ga far, Yakuba ga farmi gudey bagu-bagu.

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

¹² Wa adilitaray duma araŋ boŋ se, Wa fari wi mo bakaraw boŋ. Wa araŋ fari zeeney tunandi, Zama Rabbi ceeciyaŋ alwaato to. Hala Rabbi ma kaa ka adilitaray dooru araŋ boŋ danga beene hari cine.

¹³Ye have ploughed wickedness, reaped iniquity, eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst confide in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

¹³ Araŋ na laala far, ka taali beeri wi. Araŋ na tangari nafa ŋwa mo. Zama ni de ni bumbo fonda ganayaŋ gaa, Ni soojey marga gaa no.

¹⁴And a tumult shall arise among thy peoples, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with the children.
