1I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.
1 Naŋ ay ma baytu te sohõ boro kaŋ ay ga ba boŋ. Bayto neeya bora kaŋ ay ga ba boŋ a reyzin kalo ciine ra. Bora kaŋ ay ga ba gonda kali tudu fo kaŋ gonda albarka boŋ.
2And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.
2 A n'a far k'a tondey ku, A n'a tilam da reyzin nya suubanante. A na cinari kuuku te kalo bindo ra, A na reyzin kankamyaŋ do jabu a ra, A na laakal dake hal a ga reyzin ize hanno yaŋ hay, Amma a na reyzin ize fumbo yaŋ hay.
3And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
3 Sohõ binde, ya araŋ Urusalima gorokoy da Yahuda borey, Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa ciiti in d'ay kalo game ra.
4What was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? --
4 Ifo ka cindi kaŋ i ga te ay kalo se kaŋ ay mana te a ra? Zama waati kaŋ ay na laakal dake a ma reyzin ize hanno yaŋ hay, Ifo se no a na ifumbo yaŋ hay?
5And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;
5 Sohõ binde, naŋ ay ma ci araŋ se haŋ kaŋ ay ga te d'ay kalo: Ay g'a kali tondey dagu no, almaney g'a ŋwa mo. Ay m'a kosarayey zeeri, I g'a taamu-taamu mo.
6and I will make it a waste -- it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
6 Ay g'a halaci parkatak! I s'a kambey co-co, i s'a far mo, Amma tuuri izeyaŋ da karjiyaŋ ga fun a ra. Ay ga burey lordi mo ka ne i ma si hari te a boŋ.
7For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.
7 Zama Rabbi Kundeykoyo reyzin kalo ga ti Israyla dumo, Yahuda borey no ga ti a tilamo kaŋ a ga taala-taala mo. A na laakal dake cimi ciiti gaa, A go mo, kala boro wiyaŋ! A na laakal dake adilitaray gaa, a go mo, Kala bone hẽeni!
8Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!
8 Kaari borey kaŋ ga windi nda windi naagu care gaa! I ga fari nda fari mo naagu care gaa hala nangu si no kaŋ ga cindi. Ngey no ga goro ngey hinne laabo bindi ra!
9In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
9 Ay hangey ra no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ze ka ne: «Daahir, windi beerey, da windey kaŋ ga boori, Iboobo ga ciya kurmu, Boro kulu si goro i ra.
10Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
10 Zama reyzin kali kaŋ ga beeri danga boro fo fari dumbari, A gaa i ga du duvan* litar waranka cindi hinka. Dumi izey mo, gumbutu me way wane, Kulu gumbutu folloŋ no a ga hay.»
11Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
11 Kaari borey kaŋ ga tun za da hinay zama ngey ma baji ceeci, Kaŋ ga cin zabu mo hala duvan m'i bugandi!
12And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.
12 I go ngey batey ra da moolo beeri da moolo kayna da ganga da seese yaŋ da duvan mo koyne, Amma i baa si nda Rabbi goy. I siino ga laakal mo d'a kambey te-goyey.
13Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
13 Woodin se no ay borey ga furo tamtaray ra bayray-jaŋay sabbay se. I boro beerey ga bu da haray, I baayaŋo kulu mo ga koogu nda jaw.
14Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her.
14 Woodin se no Alaahara na nga karra tafandi, A na nga meyo feeri kaŋ sinda misa, Hala Urusalima darza d'a jama, d'a kosongo, Da boro kaŋ goono ga fooma a ra ma gunguray ka do a ra.
15And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;
15 Boro kayna, i g'a ye ganda. Boro beeri, i g'a kaynandi. Boŋbeeraykoyey moy mo, i g'i zumandi.
16and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy ùGod hallowed in righteousness.
16 Amma Rabbi Kundeykoyo ga beeri ciiti ra, Koy Hanna ga nga boŋ cabe kaŋ nga hanan adilitaray ra.
17And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
17 Waato din gaa feej'ize ga kuru noodin danga ngey kuray nango ra, Mebarawey mo ga arzakantey windi kooney ŋwa.
18Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
18 Kaari ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga laala candi da tangari korfoyaŋ, I ma zunubi mo candi da torko korfoyaŋ!
19who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
19 Ngey kaŋ ga ne koyne: «Irikoy ma te waasi, A ma nga goyo cahandi zama iri ma di a. Naŋ Israyla wane Hananyankoyo saawara ma kankamandi ka kaa, zama iri m'a bay!»
20Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
20 Kaari ngey kaŋ ga ne laala se booriyaŋ, Booriyaŋ mo i ma ne a se laala! Ngey kaŋ ga kubay daŋ kaari gurbi ra, Kaari mo i m'a daŋ kubay gurbi ra. I ma kaani daŋ forti gurbi ra, I ma forti mo ye ka daŋ kaani gurbi ra!
21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
21 Kaari ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey boŋ himandi laakalkooniyaŋ, I ga ngey boŋ guna fayankakoyaŋ!
22Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
22 Kaari ngey kaŋ yaŋ gonda gaabi duvan haŋyaŋ do, Yaarukomyaŋ mo no baji diibiyaŋ do!
23who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
23 Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga me-daabu ta ka boro laaley fansa ka taŋ, Amma i ga adilante cimo dumbu ka ta a gaa!
24Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
24 Woodin sabbay se no, Sanda mate kaŋ cine danji beele ga subu baano ŋwa, Wala subu kogo ga kaŋ danji ra, Yaadin cine no i tiksa ga ciya sanda fumbi cine. I booso mo ga tun danga kusa cine. Za kaŋ i wangu Rabbi Kundeykoyo asariya, I donda Israyla wane Hananyankoyo sanno mo.
25Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
25 Woodin sabbay se no Rabbi futa koroŋ nga jama boŋ, A na nga kamba sambu i boŋ mo k'i kar. Tondey kuukey jijiri, Buukoy mo ciya sanda birji cine kwaara fondey ra. Kulu nda yaadin Rabbi futa mana ban, Amma a kamba go sambante hala hõ.
26And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
26 Rabbi ga liiliwal tunandi mo ndunnya dumey kaŋ go nangu mooro se. I go hala ndunnya me no, a ga falle i se i ma kaa. A go mo, i ga zuru ka kaa da waasi.
27None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;
27 I ra sinda boro kaŋ ga farga, Boro kaŋ ga kati mo si no. Boro kaŋ ga dusungu si no, wala boro kaŋ ga jirbi. I cantey guddamey si feeri, I taamu korfey mo si pati.
28their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
28 I hangawey gonda deene, Haw go i birawey kulu ra. I bariyey ce camsey sanda day captuyaŋ no, I torkey cey mo sanda day alma haw beeri.
29Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;
29 I dunduyaŋo ga hima muusu beeri way, I ga dundu sanda muusu beeri izeyaŋ, Oho, i ga dundu ka duure ham tibi, I m'a ku mo baani samay, faabako si no.
30and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
30 Han din hane binde kosongu ga te Urusalima boŋ sanda teeku kosongu cine. Da boro na laabo fonnay, Kala kubay da taabi kaŋ go no, burey na kaaro daabu.
