¹The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),

¹ Sanno kaŋ kaa Irimiya do Yahuda borey kulu boŋ neeya, Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacim Yosiya izo mayra jiiri taacanta ra, Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar mo, a mayra jiiri sintina nooya.

²which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

² Sanno kaŋ annabi* Irimiya ci Yahuda borey da Urusalima gorokoy kulu se neeya:

³From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

³ Za Yahuda bonkoono Yosiya Amon izo mayra jiiri way cindi hinzanta ka kaa sohõ, jiiri waranka cindi hinzo wo, Rabbi sanno go ga kaa ay do. Ay mo, ay goono g'a salaŋ araŋ se, ay ga soobay ka ci ka yaara araŋ se, amma araŋ mana hanga jeeri ka maa.

⁴And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,

⁴ Rabbi na nga tam annabey kulu donton araŋ gaa mo, a ga soobay k'i donton. Amma araŋ mana saal, araŋ mana hanga jeeri ka maa mo.

⁵when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever.

⁵ A go ga ne: Wa bare, araŋ kulu, ka fay d'araŋ fondo laalo, d'araŋ goyey laalayaŋo mo. Laabo kaŋ Rabbi n'araŋ d'araŋ kaayey no za waato zamaney ka koy hal abada mo, araŋ ma goro a ra.

⁶And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

⁶ Araŋ ma si de-koy fooyaŋ gana mo hal araŋ ma may i se ka sududu i se. Araŋ ma si yanje ceeci ay gaa hal ay ma te bine araŋ kambe goyey se. Ay mo si hasaraw te araŋ se.

⁷But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt.

⁷ Kulu nda yaadin, kaŋ araŋ mana hangan ay se, araŋ na yanje ceeci ay gaa d'araŋ kambe goyey, hal araŋ na hasaraw candi ka kande araŋ boŋ gaa. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁸Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words,

⁸ Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Woodin sabbay se binde, za kaŋ araŋ man'ay sanney gana,

⁹behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes.

⁹ a go, kal ay ma donton ka azawa kambe haray kundey kulu sambu, d'ay tamo Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar mo. Ay ga kand'ey i ma wongu nda laabo wo d'a ra gorokoy, da ndunnya dumey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go ne-haray. Ay g'i halaci parkatak, ay m'i ciya alyanga hari, da donda-caray hari, da kurmu mo hal abada. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

¹⁰And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

¹⁰ Ay ga naŋ mo bine kaani jinde ma bu i ra, da farhã jinde, da arhiiji jinde, nda wayhiiji jinde, da fufuyaŋ tondi kosongu, da fitilla kaariyaŋ mo.

¹¹And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

¹¹ Laabo wo kulu mo ga ciya kurmu nda alyanga hari. Dumey wo mo ga may Babila bonkoono se kala jiiri wayye.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations.

¹² A ga ciya mo, waati kaŋ jiiri wayya din kubay, ay ga Babila bonkoono da nga dumo da Kaldancey laabo mo ciiti ngey zunubey sabbay se, ay m'a ciya kurmu hal abada. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

¹³And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

¹³ Ay sanney kulu kaŋ ay ci laabo din boŋ mo, ay g'i candi ka kand'ey a boŋ, sanda haŋ kaŋ i hantum tira wo ra nooya, kaŋ Irimiya na annabitaray te dumey wo kulu boŋ.

¹⁴For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

¹⁴ Zama ndunnya dumi boobo da bonkooni beeri yaŋ mo g'i daŋ tamtaray. Ay mo ga bana i gaa i te-goyey d'i kambe goyey boŋ.

¹⁵For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.

¹⁵ Zama yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci ay se: Ma futay duvan* haŋ-gaasiya wo ta ay kambe ra. Dumi kulu kaŋ gaa ay ga ni donton, m'i haŋandi nd'a.

¹⁶And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

¹⁶ I ga haŋ mo, ka teeni, hal i ma follo, takuba kaŋ ay ga samba i game ra din sabbay se.

¹⁷And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:

¹⁷ Kal ay na haŋ-gaasiya ta Rabbi kambe ra. Ay na ndunnya dumey kulu haŋandi, sanda ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi n'ay donton i gaa.

¹⁸Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

¹⁸ Ngey neeya: Urusalima, da Yahuda galley, d'a bonkooney, d'a mayraykoyey, zama i ma ciya kurmu da humburandiyaŋ hari, da donda-caray hari, da laaliyaŋ hari mo, sanda mate kaŋ cine a go d'a hunkuna.

¹⁹Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

¹⁹ Ngey mo neeya: Misira bonkoono Firawna, da nga tamey, d'a mayraykoyey, d'a talkey kulu,

²⁰and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

²⁰ da dumi waani-waaney kulu kaŋ furo care ra, kaŋ ga ti Uz laabo bonkooney kulu, da Filistancey laabey koyey kulu, (sanda Askelon, da Gaza, da Ekron, da Asdod jara kaŋ cindi,)

²¹Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

²¹ da Edom, da Mowab, da Amon izey,

²²and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;

²² da Tir koyey kulu, da Zidon koyey kulu, da koyey kaŋ go teeko daranta laabey ra,

²³Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;

²³ da Dedan, da Tema, da Buzu, da dumi kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey kar-kambey cabu,

²⁴and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;

²⁴ da Laarabey laabu koyey kulu, kaŋ ga ti dumi waani-waaney kulu kaŋ furo care ra, kaŋ yaŋ go saajo ra,

²⁵and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

²⁵ da Zimri koyey kulu, da Elam koyey kulu, da Medancey koyey kulu,

²⁶and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

²⁶ da azawa kambe koyey kulu kaŋ ga mooru wala kaŋ ga maan care gaa, da ndunnya mayrayey kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra. I kulu bananta mo, gaa no Babila bonkoono ga haŋ.

²⁷And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you.

²⁷ Ni ga ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Wa haŋ ka bugu. Araŋ ma yeeri, araŋ ma kaŋ, araŋ ma si ye ka tun mo, takuba kaŋ ay ga samba araŋ game ra sabbay se.

²⁸And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink.

²⁸ D'i wangu ka gaasiya ta ni kamba ra ka haŋ mo, kala ni ma ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Daahir, araŋ g'a haŋ!

²⁹For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.

²⁹ Zama a go, gallo kaŋ i n'a ce d'ay maa, noodin no ay ga sintin ka kande masiiba. Araŋ binde, araŋ ga ciiti yana no? Araŋ si du ka ciito yana bo, zama ay go ga ce i ma kande takuba ndunnya gorokoy kulu boŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.

³⁰And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

³⁰ Kala ni ma annabitaray wo kulu te i gaa da sanney wo kulu ka ne i se: Rabbi ga dunduyaŋ te beene, A ma nga jinda sambu nga nangoray hananta ra. A ga kaati gumo ka gaaba nda nga alman kalo. A ga kuuwa ndunnya gorokoy kulu gaa, Sanda mate kaŋ cine reyzin* taamukoyaŋ ga kuuwa.

³¹The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah.

³¹ Kuuwa din mo ga koy hala ndunnya citi, Zama Rabbi gonda kakaw nga nda ndunnya dumey game ra. A ga konda Adam-izey kulu ciiti do, Boro laaley mo, a g'i nooyandi takuba hin se. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

³²Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

³² Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Wa guna, masiiba ga fun dumi fo do ka koy dumi fo do. Hirriyaŋ bambata mo ga tun za ndunnya me.

³³And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.

³³ Han din hane binde i ga di borey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi ga wi za ndunnya me woone gaa kal a ma koy ya-haray meyo gaa. Boro kulu si bu baray te i se, i si i margu, i si i fiji mo. I ga ciya sanda birji laabo boŋ.

³⁴Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.

³⁴ Ya araŋ hawjiyey, wa kuuwa, wa soobay ka hẽ. Ya araŋ alman kuray jine borey, Araŋ ma bimbilko, zama araŋ wiyaŋ d'araŋ kar-ka-sayyaŋ waate kubay cap! Araŋ ga kaŋ ka bagu sanda diji taasa darzante.

³⁵And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock.

³⁵ Hawjiyey jaŋ nangu kaŋ ga tugu, Kuro jine borey mo jaŋ yanayaŋ fondo.

³⁶There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture;

³⁶ Hawjiyey hẽeni jinda da kuro jine borey kaatiyaŋo neeya! Zama Rabbi goono g'i kurey nangey halaci.

³⁷and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

³⁷ Alman kaley kaŋ goro nda laakal kanay, waato, I dangay Rabbi futay korna sabbay se.

³⁸He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

³⁸ A fatta sanda mate kaŋ muusu beeri ga fatta nga guuso ra, Zama i laabo ciya kurmu kankamandikwa futa da Rabbi futay korna sabbay se.
