1Bel is bowed down, Nebo bendeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things ye carried are laid on, a burden to the weary [beast].
1 Bel sombu, Nebo mo gungum. Babila borey toorey go alman beerey da alman kayney boŋ. Hayey din kaŋ araŋ bar-bare nd'ey waato ciya sambuyaŋ jaraw da taabi jaraw alman fargantey se.
2They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity.
2 I gungum ka sombu mo care banda. De-koyey mongu ka hin ka toorey faaba, Amma ngey bumbey din koy tamtaray ra.
3Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
3 Ya Yakuba dumo kaŋ ti Israyla dumo jara kaŋ cindi, Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ ay gaay za gunde ra ka jare mo za araŋ hayyaŋ hane, Wa hanga jeeri ay se.
4Even to old age, I [am] HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry [you]: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
4 Hala ka koy araŋ zeenay ay no ga ti NGA, Hala ka koy araŋ hamni kwaarey gaa mo ay no g'araŋ jare. Ay no k'araŋ te, ay mo no ga jare, Ay g'araŋ gaay, oho, ay g'araŋ faaba mo.
5To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like?
5 May no araŋ g'ay himandi nd'a ka ne in d'a ga saba? May gaa no araŋ g'ay kar ka ne in d'a ga hima care?
6-- They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a ùgod: they fall down, yea, they worship.
6 Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga wura dooru ka kaa ziika ra ka nzarfu mo neesi tiŋay neesiji ra, I ga zinga nda wura zam, A m'a bare ka te tooru. I ga gungum, oho, i ga sududu a se.
7They bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place; there he standeth, he doth not remove from his place: yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not; he saveth him not out of his trouble.
7 I ga tooro sambu jase gaa ka kond'a k'a jisi nga nango ra. A go ga kay, a si tun nga nango ra. Oho, baa boro hẽ a gaa, A si hin ka tu ka bora faaba nga taabey ra.
8Remember this, and shew yourselves men; call it to mind, ye transgressors.
8 Ya araŋ, taali-teerey, Wa fongu woone gaa ka ciya alboroyaŋ, Araŋ m'a lasaabu araŋ biney ra.
9Remember the former things of old; for I [am] ùGod, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me;
9 Wa fongu waato muraadey, za doŋ-doŋ waney, Zama ay ga ti Irikoy, afo kulu si no. Ay ya Irikoy no, afo si no mo danga ay.
10declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
10 Ay no ga bananta bangandi za sintina, Za doŋ zamaney ra hariyaŋ mo, Ya i bangandi za i mana te jina. Ay ga ne: Ay waado ga tabbat. Hay kulu kaŋ ay miila mo, ay g'a te.
11calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
11 Ay ga curo kaŋ ga ham ŋwa ce a ma kaa ka fun wayna funay haray. Bora kaŋ ay waadu mo ga fun laabu mooro ra. Daahir no ay ci, daahir ay g'a toonandi mo. Ay n'a miila, daahir ay g'a goy mo.
12Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
12 Ya araŋ bine sando koyey, Araŋ kaŋ ga mooru adilitaray, wa hanga jeeri ay se.
13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will give salvation in Zion, [and] unto Israel my glory.
13 Ay g'ay adilitara maanandi, a si mooru bo, Ay faaba mo si gay. Ay ga faaba no Sihiyona ra, Y'ay darza mo no Israyla se.
