¹For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.

¹ Sihiyona sabbay se no ay si dangay, Urusalima sabbay se no ay si fulanzam, Kala nd'a adilitara ma fun taray sanda annura bangayyaŋ cine, A faaba mo ma ciya sanda fitilla kaŋ ga di.

²And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

² Dumi cindey ga di ni adilitara, Bonkooney kulu mo ga di ni darza. Maa taji no i ga ni ce d'a, Maa kaŋ Rabbi meyo ga ci.

³And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

³ Ni ga ciya koytaray fuula kaŋ gonda darza Rabbi kambe ra, Ni ga ciya koytaray boŋ taalam mo ni Irikoyo kambe ra.

⁴Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

⁴ I si ye ka ne ni se furante koyne. I si ye ka ne ni laabo mo se kurmu koyne. Amma i ga ne ni se ay farhã hari. Ni laabo mo, i ga ne a se Wayboro kaŋ go hiijay ra. Zama Rabbi ga maa ni kaani gumo, Ni laabo mo ga du hiijay.

⁵For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall thy God rejoice over thee.

⁵ Zama sanda mate kaŋ cine arwasu ga wandiyo hiiji, Yaadin cine no ni izey ga ni hiiji, Sanda mate kaŋ cine arhiiji ga farhã da wayhiiji mo, Yaadin cine no ni Irikoyo ga farhã da nin.

⁶I have set watchmen upon thy walls, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night they shall never hold their peace: ye that put Jehovah in remembrance, keep not silence,

⁶ Ya nin Urusalima, Ay na batukoyaŋ daŋ ni cinari beero boŋ. Zaari me-a-me da cin me-a-me i si dangay duumi. Araŋ kaŋ goono ga Rabbi fongandi, wa si fulanzam.

⁷and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁷ Wa s'a naŋ mo a ma fulanzam, Kala nd'a na Urusalima sinji k'a ciya sifaw hari ndunnya ra.

⁸Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, I will indeed no more give thy corn [to be] food for thine enemies; and the sons of the alien shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast laboured;

⁸ Rabbi ze da nga kambe ŋwaaro, Nga kambe gaabikoono boŋ no a ze ka ne: «Daahir ay si ye ka ni ntaaso nooyandi a ma ciya ni ibarey se ŋwaari koyne. Yawey mo si ni reyzin haro kaŋ ni taabi ka du din haŋ,

⁹for they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

⁹ Amma borey kaŋ yaŋ kond'a barma do, Ngey no g'a ŋwa ka Rabbi maa sifa. Borey mo kaŋ yaŋ na reyziney kosu, Ngey no ga haro haŋ ay windi hanna batamey ra.»

¹⁰Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.

¹⁰ Wa furo ka bisa, Wa furo ka bisa birni meyey gaa! Wa hanse, wa fondo hanse, wa fonda soola jama se! Wa tondey kaa fonda boŋ. Wa liiliwal tunandi beene ndunnya dumey boŋ do.

¹¹Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.

¹¹ Guna, Rabbi go ga feyaŋ te kaŋ ga to hala ndunnya me. Wa ci Sihiyona ize wayo se ka ne: Guna, ni faabakwa goono ga kaa! Guna, Rabbi alhakko go a banda, A banando mo g'a jin.

¹²And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah; and thou shalt be called, The sought out, The city not forsaken.

¹² I ga ne i se jama hanante da Rabbi wane fansantey. I ga ne ni mo se: «Bora kaŋ Rabbi ceeci, gallo kaŋ a mana furu.»
