1Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine elect [in whom] my soul delighteth! I will put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.
1 Wa guna, ay tamo kaŋ ay ga gaabandi neeya, Ay wane suubananta kaŋ ay fundo ga maa a kaani. Ay n'ay Biya zumandi a boŋ. A ga kande cimi ciiti dumi cindey se.
2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
2 A si kaati, a si nga jinda sambu mo, A si naŋ borey ma maa nga jinda fondey gaa.
3A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment according to truth.
3 A si kwaar'ize ceera pati ka kaa. Fitilla kaŋ maan buuyaŋ mo, a s'a wi. A ga cimi ciiti kaa taray naanay ra.
4He shall not faint nor be in haste, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
4 A si gaze, a londi si bu mo, Kala nd'a na cimi ciiti sinji ndunnya ra. Teeku me gaa laabey mo g'a asariya batu.
5Thus saith ùGod, Jehovah, he that created the heavens and stretched them out, he that spread forth the earth and its productions, he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
5 Yaa no Rabbi Irikoy ci: Nga kaŋ na beene taka k'a salle, Nga kaŋ na laabu nda haŋ kaŋ ga fun a ra daaru, Nga kaŋ ga fulanzamay funsuyaŋ no borey se kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro laabo boŋ, A ga biya mo no borey kaŋ yaŋ ga dira a ra se.
6I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thy hand; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations,
6 A ne: «Ay no, Rabbi, ay na ni ce adilitaray ra, Ay ga ni kamba di ka gaay, ya ni haggoy mo, Ay ma ni daŋ ni ma ciya alkawli jama se ka ciya kaari mo dumi cindey se.
7to open the blind eyes, to bring forth the prisoner from the prison, them that sit in darkness out of the house of restraint.
7 Zama ni ma danawey moy fiti, Ma kas'izey kaa kasu. Kubay ra gorokoy mo, ni m'i kaa fu kankamante ra.
8I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
8 Ay no Rabbi, woodin no ga ti ay maa. Ay s'ay darza no boro fo se bo. Ay s'ay sifawo mo no himandi jabanteyaŋ se.
9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth will I cause you to hear them.
9 Guna, waato muraadey tabbat. Muraadu taji yaŋ mo no ay goono ga bangandi. Za i mana fatta, ya araŋ no i baaru.»
10Sing unto Jehovah a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles and their inhabitants.
10 Ya araŋ kaŋ goono ga naaru teeko boŋ, Da hay kulu kaŋ go a ra, da gungey da ngey ra gorokoy, Wa baytu taji te Rabbi se, w'a sifa mo za ndunnya me!
11Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains:
11 Saajo da galley ma ngey jinde sambu, Da kawyey kaŋ ra Kedarancey goono ga goro mo. Sela gorokoy ma doon ka kuuwa farhã sabbay se tondi kuukey yolley boŋ.
12let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
12 I ma Rabbi no darza k'a sifawo bangandi mo teeku me gaa laabey ra.
13Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout; he will shew himself mighty against his enemies.
13 Rabbi ga fatta sanda wongaari beeri, A ga himma daŋ sanda tangami boro, a ga kuuwa mo. Oho, a ga dundu nga ibarey gaa ka hin goy te.
14Long time have I holden my peace; I have been still, I have restrained myself: I will cry like a woman that travaileth; I will blow and pant at once.
14 Ay gay ay go ga dangay, ay dangay ka hin suuru. Sohõ binde ay ga duray sanda wayboro kaŋ goono ga hay-zaŋay, ay ma kaati, Ay ma funsar mo da gaabi.
15I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
15 Ay ma tondi kuukey da tudey bare ka ciya taasi beerey cine. Ay m'i kobtey kulu koogandi, Ay ma isey mo ciya sanda teeku me gaa laabu yaŋ, Ay ma naŋ bangey ma sundu ka koogu.
16And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not, in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
16 Ay ga danawey mo candi fondo kaŋ i si bay boŋ, Ay m'i boy fondayzey kaŋ i si bay yaŋ gaa, Ya kubay ciya kaari i jine. Nangu kaŋ gonda gure-gure mo y'a sasabandi. Ay ga hayey din te i se, ay si i furu mo.
17They shall be turned back, they shall be covered with shame, that confide in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
17 Borey kaŋ ga de tooru gaa, kaŋ ga ne danay himandey se: «Araŋ no ga ti iri irikoyey.» I ga ye banda, i ga haaw mo gumo.
18-- Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
18 Ya araŋ lutey, wa maa! Ya araŋ danawey, wa guna ka di!
19Who is blind, but my servant? and deaf, as my messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he in whom I have trusted, and blind as Jehovah's servant,
19 May no ga ti danaw, kal ay tamo? Wala lutu, sanda ay diya? May no ga ti danaw sanda ay wane naanay bora, Danaw mo koyne sanda Rabbi tamo?
20-- seeing many things, and thou observest not? With opened ears, he heareth not.
20 Ni di muraadu boobo, amma ni mana laakal ye i gaa. Ni hangey go feerante amma ni mana maa.
21Jehovah had delight [in him] for his righteousness' sake: he hath magnified the law, and made it honourable.
21 A adilitara sabbay se no Rabbi maa kaani nga ma asariya beerandi, a m'a ciya darza hari mo.
22But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and hidden in prison-houses; they are become a prey, and none delivereth, -- a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
22 Amma dumi woone ya boroyaŋ no kaŋ di kosarayyaŋ da komyaŋ, I kulu guusuyaŋ ra no borey na hirrimi te i se, I go tugante kasu yaŋ ra, I ciya wongu arzaka hari yaŋ, amma faabako kulu si no. Wongu n'i ku, Amma afo kulu si no kaŋ ga ne: «M'i yeti.»
23Who among you will give ear to this, [who] will hearken and hear what is to come?
23 Araŋ ra may no ga hanga jeeri woodin se? May mo no ga hangan ka maa jirbey kaŋ goono ga kaa ra sanni?
24Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah, he against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
24 May no ka Yakuba nooyandi a ma ciya wongu kuyaŋ hari, Israyla ma ciya fondo kosaraykoy wane? Manti Rabbi no, nga kaŋ se iri na zunubi te? Nga kaŋ iri wangu ka dira a fondey ra, Iri mana a asariya gana mo.
25And he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he took it not to heart.
25 Woodin se no Rabbi na nga futay korna gusam Yakuba boŋ da wongu gaabi. A na danji daŋ a gaa mo a windanta kulu, Kulu nda yaadin a mana faham. A n'a ton, amma a mana woodin gaay nga bina gaa.
