¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

¹ Sanno kaŋ fun Rabbi do ka kaa Irimiya do neeya:

²Thus speaketh Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write thee in a book all the words that I have spoken unto thee.

² Sanney kulu kaŋ ay ci ni se, ni m'i hantum tira fo ra, yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci.

³For behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

³ Zama a go, jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa, yaa no Rabbi ci, kaŋ ay ga ye ka kande ay borey Israyla, da Yahuda, ka fun d'ey tamtaray. Ay ga ye ka kand'ey laabo kaŋ ay n'i kaayey no din ra koyne, i ga du a mayra mo. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁴And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah;

⁴ Woone yaŋ mo, ngey ga ti sanney kaŋ Rabbi ci Israyla nda Yahuda boŋ:

⁵for thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, there is fear, and no peace.

⁵ Zama yaa no Rabbi ci: Iri maa gaaham gasiyaŋ yooje, Joote wane, manti baani wane bo.

⁶Ask ye now, and see, whether a male doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail; and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁶ Wa hã sohõ, ka maa hala alboro ga hayyaŋ taabi te? Ifo se no binde kaŋ ay ga di alborey kulu kambey go i cantey gaa, danga day wayboro kaŋ goono ga hayyaŋ taabi te. Ifo se no moydumey kulu go, i yalu bare?

⁷Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

⁷ Kaari! Zama hano din ya zaari bambata no hal a cine si no. Yakuba taabi alwaato nooya, Amma Rabbi g'a faaba ka kaa woodin ra.

⁸And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more reduce him to servitude.

⁸ Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: A ga ciya, han din hane, Ay g'a calo ceeri ka kaa ni jinda gaa, Ay ma ni sisirey pati-pati. Yawey si ye k'i daŋ tamtaray koyne,

⁹But they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

⁹ Amma i ga may Rabbi ngey Irikoyo se, Da ngey bonkoono Dawda mo se, kaŋ ay ga tunandi i se.

¹⁰And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.

¹⁰ Ya ay tamo Yakuba, ni binde ma si humburu. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Ya Israyla, ma si joote baa kayna, zama za nangu mooro, Nango kaŋ ni go din no ay ga nin da ni banda faaba, Ay m'i kaa ngey tamtaray laabo ra. Yakuba ga ye ka kaa, a ma goro nda laakal kanay, Fitina si, boro kulu s'a humburandi mo.

¹¹For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee; yet of thee will I not make a full end, but I will correct thee with judgment, and will not hold thee altogether guiltless.

¹¹ Zama ay go ni banda ay ma ni faaba se, yaa no Rabbi ci. Zama ay ga halaciyaŋ te dumi cindey kulu game ra, Nangey kaŋ yaŋ ay na ni say-say ka konda nin. Day ay si ni halaci ka ban, Amma ay ga ni gooji nda cimi ciiti. Ay si fay da nin goojiyaŋ si.

¹²For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous.

¹² Yaa no Rabbi ci: Zama ni dooro si yay, Ni marayyaŋo mo ga laala gumo.

¹³There is none to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]; thou hast no healing medicines.

¹³ Boro kulu si no kaŋ ga ni fansa sambu, Safari si no ni biyo se, Yayandiyaŋ mo si no ni se.

¹⁴All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity: thy sins are manifold.

¹⁴ Ni baakoy kulu dinya ni gaa, i siino ga ni ceeci. Zama ay na ni maray da ibare marayyaŋ, Da boro kaŋ bine ga koroŋ ciiti dumi, Ni laala beera sabbay se, Zama ni zunubey baa gumo.

¹⁵Why criest thou because of thy bruise? thy sorrow is incurable; for the greatness of thine iniquity, [because] thy sins are manifold, I have done these things unto thee.

¹⁵ Ifo se no ni goono ga hẽ ni mumuruyaŋo se? Dooro kaŋ ni goono ga maa din si yay ni laala beera sabbay se, Zama ni zunubey baa gumo. Woodin se no ay na hayey din te ni se.

¹⁶Therefore all that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be for a spoil; and all they that prey upon thee will I give to be a prey.

¹⁶ Woodin sabbay se, borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga ni ŋwa ka ban, I ga ngey mo ŋwa ka ban. Ni ibarey kulu ga koy tamtaray ra. Borey kaŋ yaŋ na ni ku wongu ra, i ga ngey mo ku. Borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ na ni ciya wongu arzaka, Ay ga naŋ ngey mo ma ciya wongu arzaka.

¹⁷For I will apply a bandage unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; for they have called thee an outcast: This is Zion that no man seeketh after.

¹⁷ Zama ay ga gaaham baani yeti ni se, Ay ga ni marayyaŋo yayandi. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Za kaŋ i ne ni se furku, i ma ne: «Sihiyona neeya, kaŋ boro kulu baa si nd'a.»

¹⁸Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof.

¹⁸ Yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay ga Yakuba bukka tamtara bare, Ay g'a nangorayey suuji. I ga birno cina nga tudo boŋ, Faada mo ma goro nga nango ra.

¹⁹And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small.

¹⁹ I ra mo boro ga maa saabuyaŋ jinde, Da kaani maakoy jinde. Ay g'i labu-care, i si ciya jama kayna mo. Ay g'i beerandi, i si di kayna mo.

²⁰And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.

²⁰ I izey mo ga ciya sanda waato cine, I jama ga tabbat ay jine, Ay g'i kankamandikoy kulu ciiti mo.

²¹And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to approach, and he shall draw near unto me. For who is this that engageth his heart to draw near unto me? saith Jehovah.

²¹ I jine bora ga ciya i dumo ra boro fo, I maykwa mo ga fatta i game ra. Ay g'a candi ay do, a ga maan ay do mo. Zama man boro kaŋ doona ka te bine-gaabi nga ma maan ay? Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

²²And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²² Araŋ ga ciya ay jama, Ay mo ga ciya araŋ Irikoyo.

²³Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.

²³ Guna Rabbi haw beero kaŋ ga kanda hari! Futa go ga fatta! Hirriyaŋ haw no kaŋ ga faaru gumo. A ga gusam laalakoyey boŋ.

²⁴The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart. At the end of the days ye shall consider it.

²⁴ Rabbi futa kaŋ ga koroŋ si bare bo, Kala nd'a na haŋ kaŋ Rabbi miila kubandi, A ma nga bina miila tabbatandi mo. Jirbey bananta ra no araŋ ga faham da woodin.
