¹Thus saith Jehovah: Keep ye judgment and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

¹ Yaa no Rabbi ci: Wa cimi ciiti haggoy, wa adilitaray goy te, Zama ay faaba maan kaayaŋ, Ay adilitara mo maan bangayyaŋ.

²Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast to it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

² Albarkante no boro kaŋ ga woone te, Albarkante mo no Adam-ize kaŋ ga gaabu a gaa: Boro kaŋ ga asibti* haggoy a ma s'a ziibandi, A ma haggoy mo nda nga kambey hal i ma si goy laalo kulu te.

³And let not the son of the alien, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak saying, Jehovah hath entirely separated me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree;

³ Yaw mo kaŋ na nga boŋ margu nda Rabbi ma si ne: «Daahir no Rabbi n'ay fay da nga jama.» Mantaw mo ma si ne: «Ay neeya, ay ya tuuri kogo no.»

⁴for thus saith Jehovah: Unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,

⁴ Zama yaa no Rabbi ci: Mantawey kaŋ yaŋ haggoy d'ay asibtey, I na muraadey kaŋ yaŋ ga kaan ay se suuban mo, I n'ay sappa di da gaabi --

⁵even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

⁵ Ay windo ra d'ay cinari beerey ra no ay g'i no nangu, Da maa hanno kaŋ ga bisa burcini ize arey da wayey wane. Ay g'i no maa kaŋ ga duumi, kaŋ si fun i gaa.

⁶Also the sons of the alien, that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;

⁶ Yawey mo kaŋ na ngey boŋ margu nda Rabbi zama ngey ma goy a se, Ngey ma ba Rabbi maa mo ka ciya a tamyaŋ, Afo kulu kaŋ ga haggoy da asibti, a man'a ziibandi mo, A go no mo d'ay sappa ga gaay --

⁷even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

⁷ Ngey mo, kal ay ma kand'ey ay tondi hananta do, Ya i biney kaanandi mo ay adduwa windo ra. I sargayey kaŋ i ga ton d'i nooyaŋey, Ay ga yadda nd'ey ay sargay feema boŋ, Zama i ga ne ay windo se adduwa windi ndunnya dumey kulu se.

⁸The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather [others] to him, with those of his that are gathered.

⁸ Rabbi, Koy Beero kaŋ ga Israyla wane say-sayantey margu no ka ne: Hala hõ ay ga ye ka boro fooyaŋ margu i do, Kaŋ ga waana a waney kaŋ jin ka margu din.

⁹All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts in the forest.

⁹ Ya araŋ, ganji hamey kulu, wa kaa ka ŋwa. Oho, araŋ kulu, saajo tuuri zugay ra hamey.

¹⁰His watchmen are all of them blind, they are without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs that cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber:

¹⁰ Kwaara batukoy gonda danawtaray, i kulu sinda bayray. I kulu hansiyaŋ no kaŋ gonda beebetaray, I si waani ŋwafuyaŋ. Hindirikoyaŋ, kanikoyaŋ, dusungu baakoyaŋ no.

¹¹and the dogs are greedy, they know not to be satisfied, and these are shepherds that know not how to discern: they all turn to their own way, every one for his gain, even to the last of them:

¹¹ Oho, hansey din ga bini gumo, i si kungu hal abada. Hawjiyaŋ mo no kaŋ yaŋ si waani ka fayanka. I afo kulu bare ka ye nga boŋ fondo ganayaŋ ra, Afo kulu koy nga boŋ riiba do haray, I kulu na ngey boŋ nafa ceeci.

¹²Come, [say they,] I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.

¹² I go ga ne: «Wa kaa iri ma kande duvan, Iri ma baji gudug-gudug. Suba mo ga ciya sanda hunkuna, Hala mo a ma bis'a zaati.»
