¹Exult, thou barren, that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.

¹ Ya nin wayguno kaŋ mana hay, ma farhã! Nin kaŋ mana hay-zaŋay, Ma jinde sambu ka bine kaani baytu te, Zama waybora kaŋ go goboro, A izey ga baa da waybora kaŋ gonda kurnye wane. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

²Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

² Ma ni hukumo batama tafandi, Ma ni nangora kosando salle, a ma si te ikayna. Ma ni korfey te ikuuku yaŋ, ma ni bundey mo gaabandi.

³For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and they shall make desolate cities to be inhabited.

³ Zama ni ga salle dandi kambe da azawa kambe haray. Ni banda mo ga du mayray dumi cindey boŋ, I ga ciya mo gallu beerey kaŋ te kurmu gorokoyaŋ.

⁴Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

⁴ Ma si humburu, zama ni si haaw, Ni laakal ma si tun mo, zama boro kulu si ni haawandi. Zama ni ga dinya ni zankataray waate haawo gaa, Ni goborotaray gora wowo mo, Ni si ye ka fongu a gaa.

⁵For thy Maker is thy husband: Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

⁵ Zama ni Takakwa no ga ti ni kurnye, Rabbi Kundeykoyo no ga ti a maa. Israyla wane Hananyankoyo no ga ti ni Fansakwa, I ga ne a se ndunnya kulu Irikoyo.

⁶For Jehovah hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, that hath been refused, saith thy God.

⁶ Zama Rabbi na ni ce, sanda wayboro kaŋ i furu, Kaŋ goono ga maa doori nga bina ra, Sanda zankataray wande cine kaŋ kurnye wang'a. Yaadin no ni Irikoyo ci.

⁷For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

⁷ Zama alwaati kayniyaw fo no ay na ni furu, Amma suuji beeri no ay ga ye ka ni margu nd'a.

⁸In the outpouring of wrath have I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting loving-kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer.

⁸ Futay korno ra ay n'ay moyduma tugu ni se alwaati kayniyaw fo, amma suuji kaŋ ga duumi no ay ga bakar ni se d'a. Yaadin no Rabbi ni Fansakwa ci.

⁹For this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me, since I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I will no more be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

⁹ Zama woone ga hima ay se Nuhu jirbey tunfaana, Zama sanda mate kaŋ cine ay ze ka ne Nuhu tunfaano si ye ka ndunnya daabu koyne, Yaadin cine no ay ze ka ne ay si ye ka te ni se bine, Ay si deeni ni gaa mo koyne.

¹⁰For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah, that hath mercy on thee.

¹⁰ Zama tondi beerey ga tun ngey nangey ra, Tudey mo ga hibi, amma ay suujo ya si tun ni do, Ay laakal kanay alkawlo mo si tun. Yaadin no Rabbi ci, nga kaŋ ga bakar ni se.

¹¹[Thou] afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I will set thy stones in antimony, and lay thy foundations with sapphires;

¹¹ Ya nin, waybora kaŋ taabi, Nin kaŋ hari haw kar, nin kaŋ sinda yaamarko, A go, ay ga ni tondey jisi ciraw ra, Ay ma ni dabey sinji nda safiryaŋ*.

¹²and I will make thy battlements of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of precious stones.

¹² Ay ga ni cinari kuukey jezey te da rubiyaŋ*, Ka ni me daabirjey kulu te da tondi caadante yaŋ kaŋ ga nyalaw, da ni birno kulu mo nda tondi hanno yaŋ.

¹³And all thy children [shall be] taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy children.

¹³ Ni izey kulu mo ga ciya borey kaŋ yaŋ ga du dondonandiyaŋ Rabbi do, Ni izey laakal kana mo ga ciya ibambata.

¹⁴In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.

¹⁴ Adilitaray ra no ni ga sinji. Ma mooru kankami, zama ni si humburu. Ma mooru humburkumay hari beeri mo, Zama a si kaa ni gaa.

¹⁵Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever gathereth together against thee shall fall because of thee.

¹⁵ A go, daahir i ga margu ka kande ni gaa wongu, Amma manti ay do no a ga fun. May yaŋ no ga margu ka kaa ni gaa? I me-a-me ga kaŋ ni sabbay se.

¹⁶Behold, it is I who have created the smith that bloweth in the fire of coal, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to ravage.

¹⁶ Guna, zam kaŋ ga danji-bi danji funsu nda gumji ka jinay dan nga goyo se, ay no k'a taka. Ay mo no ka sarako taka, zama a ma hasaraw te.

¹⁷No weapon that is prepared against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah; and their righteousness is of me, saith Jehovah.

¹⁷ Wongu jinay kulu kaŋ i ga te ni halaciyaŋ se si ni di. Deene kulu mo kaŋ ga tun ka ne nga ma gaaba nda nin ciiti do, ni g'a zeeri. Rabbi tamey tubo nooya, I adilitara mo ga fun ay do. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
