1The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, saying,
1 Waato kaŋ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar da nga wongu marga kulu, da ndunnya mayrayey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a koytara cire, da ndunnya dumey kulu na Urusalima d'a galley kulu wongu, sanno wo fun Rabbi do ka kaa Irimiya do. A ne:
2Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
2 Mate kaŋ Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci neeya: Ma koy ka salaŋ Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya se. Ma ci a se ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay ga gallo wo daŋ Babila bonkoono kambe ra, a g'a ton da danji mo.
3And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and given into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
3 Ni si du ka yana ka fun a kambe ra mo, amma daahir i ga ni di, i ma ni daŋ a kambe ra. Ni ga di Babila bonkoono mo-da-mo, a ga salaŋ ni se mo me-da-me. Ni ga koy Babila mo.
4Only, hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus saith Jehovah as to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
4 Kulu nda yaadin, ni ma maa Rabbi sanno, ya nin Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya. Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci ni boŋ neeya: Takuba si ni wi,
5thou shalt die in peace, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they will lament for thee, Ah, lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.
5 laakal kanay ra no ni ga bu. Sanda mate kaŋ cine i na dugu ton ni kaayey se, bonkooney kaŋ yaŋ na ni jin din, yaadin cine no i ga dugu ton ni mo se. I ga bu baray te ni se mo ka ne: «Kaari, ya jine bora!» zama ay, Rabbi no ka sanno din ci.
6And the prophet Jeremiah spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
6 Kala annabi Irimiya na sanney wo kulu ci Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya se Urusalima ra.
7And the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these were amongst the cities of Judah, the fenced cities that were left.
7 Alwaato din ra Babila bonkoono wongu marga goono ga wongu nda Urusalima, da Yahuda galley kulu kaŋ yaŋ cindi, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti Lacis da Azeka. Zama ngey hinne no ka cindi Yahuda galley kulu ra galley kaŋ yaŋ gonda cinari beeri yaŋ wongu se.
8The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them:
8 Sanno kaŋ fun Rabbi do ka kaa Irimiya do neeya, waato kaŋ Bonkoono Zedeciya na sanka sambu da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go Urusalima ra. A na burcinitaray fe i se ka ne:
9that every man should let his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the Hebrew and the Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, [that is,] of a Jew his brother.
9 «Boro kulu ma nga bannya wala nga koŋŋa taŋ, da Ibraniyance no, alboro wala wayboro. Boro fo ma si ye ka boro fo daŋ tamtaray koyne, d'a nya-ize Yahudance no.»
10And all the princes and all the people that had entered into the covenant obeyed, every man letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none should exact service of them any more: they obeyed, and let [them] go.
10 Mayraykoyey da jama kulu binde na sanno gana, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na sanka sambu, kaŋ i ne boro kulu ma nga bannya da nga koŋŋa taŋ, boro kulu ma si ye ka boro fo daŋ tamtaray koyne. I na sanno gana, k'i taŋ mo.
11But afterwards they turned, and caused the bondmen and the bondmaids whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and for bondmaids.
11 Amma kokor banda i ye ka bare ka tam alborey da wayborey kaŋ yaŋ i taŋ din di koyne, i ma ye ka kaa. I n'i tilasandi k'i ciya bannya da koŋŋo yaŋ koyne.
12And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
12 Woodin se no Rabbi sanno fun a do ka kaa Irimiya do ka ne:
13Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
13 Yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Ay na sappe te d'araŋ kaayey hano kaŋ hane ay n'i fattandi Misira laabo ra, tamtaray windo ra. Ay ne:
14At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who hath sold himself unto thee; when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee. But your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
14 Jiiri iyye tooyaŋ banda boro kulu ma nga nya-ize tam kaŋ Ibraniyance no taŋ, nga kaŋ i neera ni se, a may ni se mo jiiri iddu. Ni m'a taŋ a ma fun ni kambe ra. Amma araŋ kaayey mana hangan ay se, i mana hanga jeeri ka maa ay se mo.
15And you, ye had this day turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
15 Amma araŋ wo, araŋ tuubi sohõ, hala mo araŋ na haŋ kaŋ ga saba te ay jine, za kaŋ boro kulu na burcinitaray fe nga gorokasin se. Araŋ na sanka sambu mo ay jine windo kaŋ i g'a ce d'a ay maa din ra.
16but ye have turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and ye have brought them into subjection, to be unto you for bondmen and for bondmaids.
16 Amma kokor banda araŋ ye ka bare. Araŋ n'ay maa ziibandi, araŋ afo kulu. Araŋ ye ka kande bannyey da koŋŋey kaŋ yaŋ araŋ taŋ i ma du ngey boŋ. Araŋ n'i tilasandi i ma ciya araŋ se bannya da koŋŋa yaŋ.
17Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you over to be driven hither and thither among all the kingdoms of the earth.
17 Woodin sabbay se binde, yaa no Rabbi ci: Araŋ mana hangan ay se hal araŋ ma burcinitaray fe, boro fo kulu nga nya-izo se, boro fo kulu mo nga gorokasin se. A go mo, ay na burcinitaray fe araŋ se -- ay n'araŋ taŋ takuba nda balaaw nda haray se, yaa no Rabbi ci. Ay g'araŋ ciya humburandiyaŋ hari ndunnya mayrayey kulu ra.
18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, -- the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
18 Borey binde n'ay sappa tunandi, i siino ga sanka kaŋ i sambu ay jine din sanno toonandi, waato kaŋ i na handayzo farsi bindi ka bisa a dumbari hinka game ra.
19-- the princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;
19 Ngey, Yahuda mayraykoyey da Urusalima koyey, da faadancey, da alfagey, da laabo borey kulu, i bisa handayzo din farsimey game ra.
20them will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
20 To, ay g'i daŋ ngey ibarey kambe ra, da borey kaŋ g'i fundey ceeci yaŋ kambe ra. I buukoy ga ciya beene curey da ganji hamey se ŋwaari.
21And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
21 Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya da nga mayraykoyey ciine mo, ay g'i daŋ ngey ibarey kambe ra, d'i fundey ceecikoy kambe ra, da Babila bonkoono wongu marga kambe ra mo, wo kaŋ jin ka tun araŋ do.
22Behold, I command, saith Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
22 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Guna, ay g'i lordi, ay ma ye ka kand'ey gallo wo do. I ga wongu nd'a, i m'a ŋwa, i m'a ton da danji. Ay ga Yahuda galley ciya kurmuyaŋ, kaŋ sinda goroko.
