1Thus saith Jehovah: The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that ye will build unto me? and what is the place of my rest?
1 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Beene ya ay karga no, Ganda mo ay ce furkange no. Fu woofo dumi no araŋ ga cina ay se? Nangu woofo mo no ga ciya ay fulanzamyaŋ do?
2Even all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.
2 Hayey wo kulu, ay kamba no k'i te, Hayey din kulu mo, ay kamba no naŋ i bara. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Amma boro woone no ay baa go d'a, Bora kaŋ sinda boŋbeeray, kaŋ ga nga biya ye ganda, Kaŋ ga jijiri d'a maa ay sanno mo.
3He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,
3 Boro kaŋ na yeeji wi _ka sarga|_ ga hima ay se boro kaŋ na boro wi. Boro kaŋ ga feej'ize salle sargay mo ga hima boro kaŋ na hansi jinde ceeri. Boro kaŋ ga kande hamni sargay ga hima boro kaŋ kande gursuna* kuri. Boro kaŋ ga lubban dugu ton mo ga hima boro kaŋ goono ga tooru sifa. Oho, i na ngey boŋ fondoyaŋ suuban, I biney mo goono ga farhã d'i fanta harey.
4I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.
4 Ay mo g'i kankamo suuban, Ay ga naŋ haŋ kaŋ i ga humburu ma kaa i gaa. Zama waato kaŋ ay ce, boro kulu mana tu. Waato kaŋ ay salaŋ mo, i mana hangan, Amma i te haŋ kaŋ ga laala ay diyaŋ gaa, I suuban mo haŋ kaŋ si kaan ay se.
5Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed.
5 Araŋ kaŋ ga jijiri Rabbi sanno maayaŋ se, Wa maa Rabbi sanno. A ne: Araŋ nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ wangu araŋ, kaŋ yaŋ na araŋ furu ay maa sabbay se ga ne: «Rabbi beeri! Wa naŋ iri ma di araŋ farhã,» Amma ngey wo ga haaw.
6A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies!
6 Kosongu jinde kaŋ go gallo ra, Yooja kaŋ ga fun Irikoy fuwo ra ga ti Rabbi jinda kaŋ go ga bana a ibarey gaa.
7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.
7 Za hay-zaŋay taabi mana kaa wayboro gaa no a hay, Za a mana hay-zaŋay no a na ize alboro hay --
8Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
8 May no ka maa woodin dumi ce fo? May no ka di a dumi ce fo? Zaari folloŋ hayyaŋ taabi gaa no i ga laabu jama hay? Fap folloŋ no i ga kunda hay? Zama Sihiyona hay-zaŋay sintina gaa no a na izeyaŋ hay.
9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
9 Ay ga hay-tu feeri, Ay ma jaŋ ka naŋ ize ma fatta, wala? Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Haciika ay kaŋ ga hayyaŋ daŋ s'a ganji. Yaadin no ni Irikoyo ci.
10Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:
10 Ya araŋ kulu kaŋ ga ba r'a, Wa farhã Urusalima banda, Ya araŋ kulu kaŋ goono ga bu baray te a se, Wa te bine kaani ka farhã a banda,
11because ye shall suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; because ye shall drink out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
11 Zama araŋ ma du ka naan ka kungu a bine yeenandiyaŋ fafa gaa. Zama araŋ ma waay ka maa kaani araŋ fundey ra d'a darza toonanta.
12For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and ye shall suck, ye shall be carried upon the side, and be dandled upon the knees.
12 Zama yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay ga laakal kanay salle a se sanda isa cine, Dumi cindey darza mo y'a salle sanda hari yaa cine. Araŋ ga naan, i g'araŋ hampa banda daari ra, I ga fooru nda araŋ mo kange boŋ.
13As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
13 Sanda mate kaŋ ni nya ga boro bine yeenandi, Yaadin cine no ay g'araŋ biney yeenandi. Ay g'araŋ biney yeenandi mo Urusalima ra.
14And ye shall see [this], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation toward his enemies.
14 Araŋ ga di woodin, araŋ biney mo ga kaan, Araŋ biriyey mo ga zay sanda subu tayo cine. Rabbi kamba dabaro ga bangay a tamey se, A ga dukur mo nga ibarey se.
15For behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
15 Zama a go, Rabbi ga kaa danji ra, A wongu torkey ga ciya hari haw bambata cine yaŋ, A futa d'a futay korno cabeyaŋ se, A kaseetey mo ga bangay danji beeleyaŋ ra.
16For by fire and by his sword will Jehovah enter into judgment with all flesh: and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
16 Zama Rabbi ga Adam-izey kulu ciiti da nga takuba da danji ra mo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi ga wi mo ga baa gumo.
17They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.
17 Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey boŋ fay waani, i ga ngey boŋ soola gumo zama ngey ma koy tooru kaley do, i afo kulu ga boro fo kaŋ go i bindo ra gana. I ga gursuna ham, da fanta hariyaŋ, da caŋ ŋwa. I kulu ga halaci care banda. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
18And I, -- their works and their thoughts [are before me]. ... [The time] cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
18 Zama ay g'i goyey d'i fonguyaŋey kulu bay. Jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ ndunnya dumey da deene kulu ga margu ka kaa ka di ay darza.
19And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
19 Ay ga alaama kayandi i game ra. I ra borey kaŋ yaŋ du ka yana mo, ay g'i donton ndunnya dumey do. I ga koy Tarsis, da Pul, da Ludu, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti tongokoyey, da Tubal da Yaban do. I ga koy teeku me gaa laabey kaŋ yaŋ ga mooru mo do, borey kaŋ yaŋ mana bay ka maa ay maa beera, i mana di ay darza mo. Borey din kaŋ ay donton g'ay darza seeda dumi cindey game ra.
20And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
20 Ndunnya dumey kulu ra no i ga fun d'araŋ nya-izey kulu, nooyaŋ hari no Rabbi se. I ga kaa bariyaŋ, da torkoyaŋ, da balankaryaŋ, da alambaanayaŋ, da yoyaŋ boŋ. I ga zaa ka koy ay tondi hananta Urusalima do, sanda mate kaŋ cine Israyla izey ga kande hamni sargay taasa hanante ra ka koy Rabbi windo ra. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
21And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith Jehovah.
21 I ra koyne, ay ga boro fooyaŋ kaa i ma ciya alfagayaŋ da Lawi boroyaŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
22For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
22 Zama mate kaŋ cine beene tajey da ganda tajo kaŋ yaŋ ay ga te ga duumi ay jine, yaa no Rabbi ci, yaadin cine no araŋ banda d'araŋ maa ga duumi.
23And it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.
23 A ga ciya mo, handu taji fo ka koy afo gaa, asibti fo ka koy asibti fo mo gaa, Adam-izey kulu ga kaa ka sududu ay jine. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
24And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.
24 I ga fatta ka borey kaŋ na taali te ay se yaŋ din buukoy guna. Zama i nooney si bu, i danjo mo hay kulu s'a wi. I ga ciya fanta hari yaŋ mo Adam-izey kulu se.
