¹Arise, shine! for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.

¹ Ya nin waybora, tun ka kaari, zama ni kaariyaŋo kaa. Rabbi darza mo ziji ni boŋ.

²For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen on thee.

² Zama guna, kubay ga ndunnya daabu, Kubay bi mo ga jamayaŋ daabu, Amma Rabbi ga tun ka kay ni boŋ, Borey ga di a darza mo ni boŋ.

³And the nations shall walk by thy light, and kings by the brightness of thy rising.

³ Ndunnya dumey ga kaa ni kaaro do, Bonkooney mo ga kaa ni tunyaŋo kaaro do.

⁴Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons come from afar, and thy daughters are carried upon the side.

⁴ Ma ni boŋ sambu ka guna ni windanta: Ni ize arey ga fun nangu mooro ka kaa. Ni ize wayey mo ga kaa hampanteyaŋ. I kulu ga margu ka kaa ni do.

⁵Then thou shalt see, and shalt be brightened, and thy heart shall throb, and be enlarged; for the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee.

⁵ Saaya din ni ga di, ni ga nyaale, Ni bina ga yooje, a ga fas-fas mo. Zama teeko albarka ga bare ka ye ni do haray, Dumi cindey duura mo ga kaa ni do.

⁶A multitude of camels shall cover thee, young camels of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall publish the praises of Jehovah.

⁶ Yoy baayaŋo ga ni daabu, Kaŋ yaŋ ga ti Midiyan da Efa yo-izey, Seba waney kulu mo ga kaa I ga kande wura da lubban*, I ga Rabbi sifaw fe mo.

⁷All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will beautify the house of my magnificence.

⁷ Kedar kurey kulu ga margu-margu ka kaa ni do. Nebayot feeji gaarey mo ga goy ni se, I ga kaa ka ciya yaddayaŋ hari ay sargay feema boŋ. Ay mo g'ay windi darzanta taalam.

⁸Who are these that come flying as a cloud, and as doves to their dove-cotes?

⁸ May yaŋ no woone yaŋ kaŋ goono ga deesi sanda zugula, I ga deesi sanda tantabalyaŋ mo kaŋ goono ga fatta ngey fuwey ra?

⁹For the isles shall await me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of Jehovah thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.

⁹ Zama teeku me laabey ga hangan ay se, Tarsis hiyey mo ga jin ka kaa, I ga kande ni izey ka fun d'ey nangu mooro. I wura d'i nzarfey mo go i banda. I ga kand'ey Rabbi ni Irikoyo maa sabbay se, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo sabbay se, Zama a na ni taalam.

¹⁰And the sons of the alien shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee. For in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

¹⁰ Yaw izeyaŋ mo ga ni birni cinaro cina, I bonkooney mo ga goy ni se, Zama ay futa ra no ay na ni kar, Amma ay gomno ra ay bakar ni se.

¹¹And thy gates shall stand open continually: (they shall not be shut day nor night,) that the wealth of the nations may be brought unto thee, and that their kings may be led [to thee].

¹¹ Ni kwaara meyey ga goro feerante yaŋ duumi. Cin gaa, zaari gaa, i s'i daabu, Zama borey ma kande ni se dumi cindey arzakey ka kande ngey bonkooney mo.

¹²For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and those nations shall be utterly wasted.

¹² Zama ndunnya dumo wala koytaray mayra kaŋ ga wangu ka may ni se ga halaci. Oho, ni ga ndunnya dumo din alandaaba parkatak.

¹³The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the cypress, pine, and box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

¹³ Liban darza ga kaa ni do care banda, Kaŋ ga ti sipres*, da durmi, da farre bundu, Zama borey m'ay nangu hanna taalam d'ey, Ay cey taamuyaŋo do mo ay g'a darzandi.

¹⁴And the children of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁴ Borey kaŋ yaŋ na ni kaynandi din izey ga kaa ka sombu ni jine. Borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ donda nin mo ga kaa ka sombu ni ce taamey do. I ga ne ni se Rabbi gallo, Kaŋ ga ti Sihiyona, Israyla wane Hananyankoyo kwaara.

¹⁵Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, so that no one went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy from generation to generation.

¹⁵ Waato i na ni furu, i konna nin, Hala mo boro si no kaŋ ga gana ni do, Amma hino ay ga ye ka ni ciya darza hari hal abada, Da farhã hari mo zamana ka koy zamana.

¹⁶And thou shalt suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁶ Ni ga naan dumi cindey gaa, Ka bonkooney fafey naan mo. Ni ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, ni Faabakwa da ni Fansakwa, Yakuba wane Hinkoyo.

¹⁷For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron; and I will make thine officers peace, and thy rulers righteousness.

¹⁷ Guuru-say nangu ra no ay ga kande wura. Guuru-bi nangu ra ya kande nzarfu, Tuuri nangu ra ya kande guuru-say, Tondi nangu ra mo ya kande guuru-bi. Ay ga naŋ laakal kanay ma ciya ni mayraykoy, Adilitaray mo ma ciya ni hinkoy.

¹⁸Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

¹⁸ Boro kulu si ye ka maa toonye baaru ni laabo ra, Wala zamba hasaraw wala halaciyaŋ ni hirro meyey ra koyne. Amma ni ga ne Faaba ya ni birni cinari no, Ni birni meyey mo ni ga ne i se Sifaw.

¹⁹The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

¹⁹ Wayno si ye ka ciya ni se kaari zaari waate, Hando annura mo si ye ka kaari ni boŋ. Amma Rabbi no ga ciya ni se kaari duumikoy, Ni Irikoyo ga ciya ni darza mo.

²⁰Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

²⁰ Ni wayna si ye ka kaŋ koyne, ni hando mo si ban, Zama Rabbi no ga ciya ni kaaro kaŋ ga duumi, Ni bu baray jirbey mo ga ban.

²¹Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall possess the land for ever -- the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

²¹ Ni borey kulu mo ga ciya adilanteyaŋ ga laabo tubu hal abada, Tuuri kamba kaŋ ay tilam no ga ti ay kambey goyo, Zama a m'ay darzandi.

²²The little one shall become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.

²² Boro kayna ga ciya boro zambar, Ikayna din ga ciya dumi gaabikooni. Ay, Rabbi, ay ga naŋ woodin ma cahã nga alwaato ra.
