1Woe unto them that decree iniquitous decrees, and to the writers that prescribe oppression,
1 Kaari ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga hin sanni laaloyaŋ te! Kaari hantumkoy kaŋ yaŋ ga taabandiyaŋ sanney hantum!
2to turn away the poor from judgment, and to take away the right from the afflicted of my people; that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
2 Zama i ma cimi ciiti ganji talkey se, I m'ay jama alfukaarey cimo kom. Zama i ma wayborey kaŋ kurnyey bu ciya wongu arzaka, I ma alatuumey mo kom!
3And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the sudden destruction [which] shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help, and where will ye leave your glory?
3 Ifo no araŋ ga te banando hane, Halaciyaŋo kaŋ ga fun nangu mooro do? May do no araŋ ga zuru ka koy ka gaakasinay ceeci? Man no araŋ g'araŋ darza jisi mo?
4They can but crouch under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
4 Kal borey ma kunkuni hinne no sisiri izey game ra. I ma fun ka kaŋ borey kaŋ i wi yaŋ din game ra. Kulu nda yaadin, Rabbi futa mana bare, Amma a kamba go sambante hala hõ.
5Ah! the Assyrian! the rod of mine anger! and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
5 Kaari Assiriya maykwa, ni ya ay futay korna goobu no! Ni kamba ra sarjilla wo mo, ay dukuro no.
6I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge; to take the spoil, and to seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
6 Ay ga maykwa donton a ma koy ka gaaba nda dumi yaamo, Ay g'a lordi mo borey kaŋ se ay ga futu yaŋ boŋ. A ma arzaka ku, a ma wongu arzaka ta, A m'i taamu-taamu sanda kwaara ra fondo gaa potor-potor cine.
7But he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; for it is in his heart to extirpate and cut off nations not a few.
7 Amma manti yaadin no a ga miila bo, Manti mo yaadin no a bina ga miila, Amma a bina go no nda halaciyaŋ miila, Nga ma dumi boobo alandaaba, manti sasabanteyaŋ bo.
8For he saith, Are not my princes all kings?
8 Zama a si ne kala: «Ay wongu nyaŋey kulu, manti bonkooniyaŋ no?
9Is not Calno as Karkemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
9 Kalno kwaara, manti Karkemis cine no? Hamat mo, manti Arpad cine no? Wala Samariya binde, manti Damaskos cine no?
10As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, -- and their graven images exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
10 Ay kamba na toorey mayrayey di, Wo kaŋ yaŋ i danay toorey bisa Urusalima nda Samariya waney baayaŋ.
11-- shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her images?
11 To, mate kaŋ ay te Samariya nda nga toorey se, Manti yaadin cine no ay ga te Urusalima nda nga toorey mo se?»
12And it shall come to pass, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stoutness of heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
12 Woodin sabbay se binde a ga ciya, d'ay, Koy Beero, n'ay goyey kulu kubandi Sihiyona tondo boŋ, da Urusalima ra, gaa no ay ga Assiriya bine naasa din goyey d'a boŋbeera fooma mo gooji.
13For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom, for I am intelligent; and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and, like a valiant man, I have brought down them that sit [on thrones];
13 Zama a ne: «Ay kambe gaabo d'ay laakalo no ay na woodin te d'a, Zama ay gonda fahamay. Ay na dumey laabu hirrey hibandi, Ay n'i arzakey kulu di, Ay na kargey boŋ gorokoy kulu zeeri sanda mate kaŋ yaarukom ga te.
14and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples, and as one gathereth forsaken eggs, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.
14 Ay kamba na dumey arzakey di sanda fiti ra waney. Sanda mate kaŋ cine boro ga gunguri kaŋ i muray margu-margu, Yaadin cine no ay na ndunnya kulu margu. Afo kulu mana nga fata yooje, Afo kulu mana me fiti, sanku fa a ma hẽ.»
15-- Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? As if the rod should wield them that lift it up; as if the staff should lift up [him who is] not wood!
15 Mate no, deesi ga nga boŋ sifa nga baa boro kaŋ goono ga beeri nda nga, wala? Candi ga nga boŋ beerandi nga baa bora kaŋ go ga dumbu nda nga, wala? Hey! Woodin ga hima danga goobu ma nga sambuko zinji-zinji, Wala mo sarjilla ma nga boŋ sambu danga nga manti tuuri no.
16Therefore shall the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire:
16 Woodin sabbay se no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ga faabiri taŋ Assiriya wongaari naasey ra. A darza cire mo Rabbi, Koy Beero tonyaŋ fo ga te danga danji beele cine.
17and the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars in one day,
17 Israyla kaaro ga ciya danji, A wane Hananyankoyo mo ga ciya danji beele. A ga Israyla karji nyaŋey da subu karjikoyey ton k'i ŋwa ka ban zaari folloŋ.
18and it shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick man fainteth.
18 A g'a saaji tuuri lunku-lunkey darza ŋwa, D'a fari albarkanta wano, fundi nda gaaham kulu. A ma ciya sanda waati kaŋ doorikom komso.
19And the remainder of the trees of his forest shall be few: yea, a child might write them.
19 A saajo tuuri zugey ga ciya kayna fooyaŋ hala baa zanka kayna ga hin k'i kabu ka hantum.
20And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no more again rely upon him that smote them; but they shall rely upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
20 A ga ciya mo han din hane, Israyla jara kaŋ cindi din, Da Yakuba dumo waney kaŋ yana si ye ka de bora kaŋ na ngey kar din gaa koyne, Amma i ga de Rabbi, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo gaa da cimi.
21The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty ùGod.
21 Jare fa ga ye ka kaa, Sanda Yakuba wane cindo nooya, ka koy Irikoy Hinkoyo do.
22For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption determined shall overflow in righteousness.
22 Ya nin Israyla, baa kaŋ ni borey te iboobo danga teeku me gaa taasi cine, I ra jare kayna hinne no ga ye ka kaa. Rabbi na halaciyaŋ waadu, Kaŋ ga naŋ adilitaray ma bambari.
23For a consumption, and [one] determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, accomplish in the midst of all the land.
23 Zama Rabbi Kundeykoyo no ga halaciyaŋo kaŋ nga waadu din toonandi laabo kulu ra.
24Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt:
24 Woodin sabbay se binde, Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: «Ya ay jama kaŋ goono ga goro Sihiyona, Ma si humburu Assiriyanca waati kaŋ a ga ni kar da goobu, Ka nga sarjilla sambu beene ni boŋ, danga mate kaŋ Misira te.
25for yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.
25 Zama a cindi alwaati kayna fo, gaa no ay dukuro ga ban. Ay futa mo ga bare a boŋ k'a halaci.»
26And Jehovah of hosts will stir up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod [shall be] upon the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
26 Rabbi Kundeykoyo mo ga tun a se da barzu, Mate kaŋ cine a na Midiyan kar Oreb tondo do. Mate kaŋ cine a na nga goobo salle teeko boŋ, K'a sambu beene mo Misira boŋ.
27And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ...
27 A ga ciya mo, han din hane, A jarawo ga zumbu ni jasa boŋ. A calo mo ga fun ni jinda gaa, Calo din ga halaci maani sabbay se.
28He is come to Aiath, he hath passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage.
28 A kaa hala Ayi, a gana Migron, A na nga jinayey jisi Mikmas.
29They are gone through the pass; they make their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth, Gibeah of Saul is fled.
29 I bisa nango kaŋ i ga gana din Ka zumbu Geba. Rama goono ga jijiri, Sawulu kwaara Jibeya mo zuru.
30Lift up thy voice, daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laish! -- Poor Anathoth!
30 Nin Gallim ize wayo, ma kuuwa nda gaabi! Nin Layis, ma hangan! Kaari nin, Anatot, bakaraw hari!
31Madmenah is fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
31 Madmena zuru, Jebim gorokoy mo go ga tuguyaŋ do ceeci,
32Still a day of halting at Nob; he shaketh his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ...
32 Hunkuna-hunkuna no a ga zumbu Nob. A ga nga kamba zinji-zinji Sihiyona ize wayo tondo do haray, Kaŋ ga ti Urusalima tondo.
33Behold the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the boughs with violence; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be brought low;
33 A go, Rabbi Irikoy Kundeykoyo ga tuuri kambey beeri da yooje bambata. A ga ikuukey beeri, Yolla kambey mo, a g'i zumandi.
34and he shall make clearings in the thickets of the forest with iron; and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
34 A ga saajo tuuri lunku-lunkey beeri da guuru deesi. Liban mo ga kaŋ Hinkoyo kambe ra.
