1The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
1 I na Yahuda zunubo hantum da guuru-bi kalam, Da daminti deene mo. I n'a jeeri a bina walhã boŋ, D'araŋ sargay feema hilley boŋ mo,
2whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.
2 Waati kaŋ i izey ga fongu i sargay feemey d'i wayboro himandi bundu toorey gaa, Tuuri biikoy kulu cire, da tudu kuukey boŋ.
3My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, -- thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders.
3 Ya ay tondi kuuko kaŋ go batama ra, Ay ga ni duura da ni arzaka kulu nooyandi i ma ciya wongu arzaka, Ni zunubo kaŋ ni te tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra banando nooya, Ni laabo me-a-me ra.
4And of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, -- it shall burn for ever.
4 Ni mo, ni boŋ se ni ga ni tubo kaŋ ay na ni no taŋ. Ay ga naŋ mo ni ma may ni ibarey se laabu fo kaŋ ni si bay ra, Zama araŋ na danji diyandi ay futa ra kaŋ ga di hal abada.
5Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
5 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Laalante no boro kaŋ ga de boro gaa, Kaŋ ga nga laakalo sinji gaaham gaa, Kaŋ bina ga bare ka fay da Rabbi.
6And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
6 Zama a ga ciya sanda saaji ra subu, A si fonnay waati kaŋ cine albarka ga kaa bo, Amma a ga goro saaji nangu koogey ra, Laabu kaŋ gonda ciiri, Kaŋ boro kulu si a ra.
7Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is.
7 Albarkante no boro kaŋ ga de Rabbi gaa, Boro kaŋ Rabbi no ga ti a deyaŋ hari.
8For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.
8 Zama a ga ciya sanda tuuri kaŋ i tilam hari me gaa kaŋ ga nga kaajey salle gooro do haray. A si humburu waati kaŋ wayna korno ga kaa, Zama a kobtey ga boogu. Hay kulu si no kaŋ g'a fitina koogay jiiri, A si fay da hayyaŋ mo.
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?
9 Bine bisa hay kulu diibi-diiba, Laala kaŋ sinda safari ka bara a gaa, may no g'a bay?
10I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
10 Ay, Rabbi, ay ya bine fintalko no, Ay ga laakal mo gosi, Zama ay ma bana boro kulu se nga muraadey boŋ, D'a te-goyey nafa mo boŋ.
11[As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
11 Sanda darfanda kaŋ gum gunguri kaŋ a mana dam boŋ, Yaadin cine no boro kaŋ na arzaka margu-margu kaŋ manti cimi do ga bara. A jirbey bindo ra no a ga fay d'a, A bananta mo a ga ciya saamo.
12A throne of glory, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
12 Darza karga kaŋ gonda beeray za sintina, Nga no ga ti iri nangu hananta.
13Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
13 Ya Rabbi, Israyla beeja, Borey kaŋ na ni furu kulu ga haaw. Borey kaŋ yaŋ na banda bare ni gaa, I g'i maa hantum laabu gaa, Zama i na Rabbi furu, Nga kaŋ ga ti hari zuru fundikoono.
14Heal me, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
14 Ya Rabbi, m'ay yayandi, ay ga yay mo. M'ay faaba, ay ga du faaba mo, Zama nin no ga ti ay sifawo.
15Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!
15 A go mo, borey go ga ne ay se: «Man no Rabbi sanno go? A ma kaa me sohõ!»
16But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
16 Ay wo mana cahã ay ma fay da kuruko goray ni banda, Ay mana yalla-yalla nda masiiba zaaro mo. Ni ga bay haŋ kaŋ fun ay meyo ra, Ni jine no a go.
17Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
17 Ma si ciya humburkumay hari ay se, Zama nin no ga ti ay koruyaŋ do masiiba hane.
18Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.
18 Borey kaŋ yaŋ goono g'ay gurzugandi, naŋ i ma haaw, Amma ma si naŋ ay wo ma haaw. Naŋ i biney ma pati, amma ay wo bina ma si pati. Ni ma masiiba zaaro candi ka kande i gaa k'i halaci labu-care.
19Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
19 Yaa no Rabbi ci ay se: Ma koy ka kay Talkey Birni Meyo gaa, nango kaŋ Yahuda bonkooney ga furo ka fatta. Ma kay mo koyne Urusalima birni meyey kulu gaa.
20and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
20 Ma ne i se: Wa maa Rabbi sanno, ya araŋ Yahuda bonkoono, da Yahuda kulu, da Urusalima gorokoy kulu, araŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga furo kwaara meyey wo gaa!
21thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem;
21 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Wa laakal d'araŋ fundey, araŋ ma si jaraw kulu dumi jare asibti hane, araŋ ma si furo nd'a mo Urusalima meyey gaa.
22and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,
22 Araŋ ma si jinay kulu dumi sambu mo ka fattandi araŋ windey ra asibti hane. Araŋ ma si goy kulu te mo, amma araŋ ma asibti hano fay waani, sanda mate kaŋ cine ay n'araŋ kaayey lordi nd'a.
23but they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.
23 Amma ngey wo, i mana maa, i mana hanga jeeri mo. I na ngey boŋ sandandi, zama ngey ma si maa, ngey ma si goojiyaŋ ta mo.
24And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
24 Yaa no Rabbi ci: A ga ciya mo, d'araŋ maa ay se da anniya, hal araŋ siino ga furo nda jinay dumi kulu gallo wo meyey gaa asibti hane, amma d'araŋ ga asibti hane fay waani, araŋ siino ga goy kulu te a ra,
25then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
25 waati din gaa bonkooney da ngey mayraykoyey ga furo gallo wo meyey gaa, ka goro Dawda karga boŋ mo. I ga wongu torkoyaŋ da bariyaŋ kaaru, ngey da ngey mayraykoyey, ngey kaŋ ga ti Yahuda alborey da Urusalima gorokoy. Gallo wo mo ga bara nda gorokoyaŋ hal abada.
26And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.
26 Yahuda galley ra, da nangey kaŋ ga Urusalima windi mo ra, da Benyamin laabo, da Safela*, da tondi kuukey, da Negeb* mo, boroyaŋ ga fatta ka kande sargay kaŋ i ga ton, da sargay waani, da ŋwaari sargay, da lubban. I ga kande saabuyaŋ sargay mo Rabbi windo do.
27But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
27 Amma d'araŋ wangu ka maa ay se kaŋ ay ne araŋ ma asibti hano fay waani, hala mo araŋ goono ga jinay sambu ka furo nd'ey Urusalima meyey gaa asibti hane -- kal ay mo, ay ma danji daŋ a meyey gaa, kaŋ ga Urusalima faadey ŋwa, danjo si bu mo.
