1Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
1 Ya Israyla, ma si farhã da bine kaani te danga dumi cindey cine, Zama ni na ni Irikoyo naŋ ka kaaruwataray* gana. Ni n'a alhakku bini mo, karayaŋ gangani kulu ra.
2The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
2 Karayaŋ gangani da reyzin* kankamyaŋ do s'i kungandi. Reyzin hari mo ga gaze i se.
3They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
3 I si goro Rabbi laabo ra, Amma Ifraymu ga ye ka ye Misira koyne, Assiriya ra mo i ga harram ŋwa.
4They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
4 I si duvan sargay dooru Rabbi se, I si ciya a se yadda hari. I sargayey ga ciya danga bu-baray-koy ŋwaari. Boro kulu kaŋ g'a ŋwa ga ciya harram, Zama i ŋwaaro ga ciya ngey bumbey ibaay wane. A si furo Irikoy windo ra bo.
5What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
5 Ifo no araŋ ga te sududuyaŋ marga zaaro ra, Da Rabbi batu zaaro ra mo?
6For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
6 Guna, i ga zuru halaciyaŋ se, Kulu nda yaadin Misira g'i ku. Memfis ra no i g'i fiji. Malli subu no g'i nzarfu arzakey daabu, Karjiyaŋ mo ga te i kuuru fuwey ra.
7The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
7 Taabandiyaŋ jirbey kaa, banayaŋ jirbey kaa, Israyla ma woodin bay! Annabi ya saamo no, Boro kaŋ gonda gunayaŋ biya mo follokom no, Ni taali booba da ni murteyaŋo sabbay se.
8Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
8 Waato Ifraymu ga ti batuko ay Irikoyo banda, Annabi mo no waato. Amma sohõ gawey asuuta go a fondey kulu ra. Wongay go mo a Irikoyo windo ra.
9They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
9 I na ngey boŋ ziibandi gumo, Danga Jibeya jirbey ra cine. A ga fongu i taalo gaa, a g'i zunubey bana.
10I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
10 Ay na Israyla gar danga ganjo ra reyzin izeyaŋ cine. Ay di araŋ kaayey danga tuuri ize hayyaŋ sintina jeejay nya gaa, jiiro kaŋ a sintin ka hay. Amma i kaa Baal-Peyor ka ngey boŋ fay waani haawi haro din se, Hal i ziibi danga haya kaŋ i ga ba din cine.
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, -- no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
11 Ifraymu binde, a darza ga deesi ka dira danga curo cine. Boro kaŋ ga hay, wala boro kaŋ gonda gunde, Wala baa boro kaŋ ga gunde sambu, i si no.
12For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
12 Baa i na ngey izey biiri, Kulu nda yaadin ay g'i wi, Hala baa alboro folloŋ si cindi. Oho mo, kaari ngey! saaya kaŋ ay na banda bare i gaa.
13Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
13 Mate kaŋ ay di Ifraymu, I n'a duma albarka nangu ra danga Tir kwaara cine. Amma Ifraymu ga fatta nda nga izey ka kond'ey naŋ kaŋ i g'i wi.
14Give them, Jehovah -- what wilt thou give? -- give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
14 Ya Rabbi, m'i no -- ifo no ni ga no i se binde? To, ma n'i no gunde kaŋ ga te gunde hasaraw da fafa kooguyaŋ.
15All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.
15 I laalayaŋo kulu, Jilgal no a go. Noodin no ay sintin ka konn'ey. Ay g'i gaaray ka kaa ay windo ra i goy laaley sabbay se. Ay si ye ka ba r'ey mo. I koyey kulu murtante yaŋ no.
16Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
16 I na Ifraymu kar gumo, hal a kaajey koogu. I si ga izeyaŋ hay. Oho, baa i ga hay, Kal ay m'i ize gundey kaŋ i ga ba din wi.
17My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
17 Ay Irikoyo g'i furu zama i mana hanga jeeri a se. I ga ciya dira-ka-windiko-yaŋ ndunnya dumi cindey game ra.
