1Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
1 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Guna, ay ga halaciyaŋ haw tunandi kaŋ ga kaa Babila nda Kaldiya gorokoy gaa.
2and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
2 Ay ga mebarawyaŋ donton Babila gaa kaŋ yaŋ g'a faaru mo, ka fay d'a laabo koonu. Zama a masiiba zaaro ra no i g'a koli ka windi nda gaaba kuray kulu gaa.
3Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
3 Tongo farma ma si nga birawo candi, A ma si tun ka kay nga wongu kwaayo ra mo. Wa si jalla a sahãkooney gaa. W'a wongu kundey kulu halaci parkatak.
4And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
4 Borey kaŋ i wi ga kaŋ Kaldancey laabo ra, Ngey kaŋ i n'i gundey fun ga kaŋ a kwaara fondey ra.
5For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
5 Zama baa kaŋ Israyla nda Yahuda laabo go, i to da taali kaŋ i te Israyla wane Hananyankoyo se, Kulu nda yaadin i Irikoyo Rabbi Kundeykoyo mana i furu bo.
6Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
6 Wa zuru ka fun Babila bindo ra! Boro fo kulu ma yana nda nga fundo, Hal i ma si araŋ pati a alhakko ra. Zama Rabbi banayaŋ alwaato to, A g'a bana da alhakku kaŋ ga saba.
7Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
7 Waato, Babila wo wura haŋ-gaasiya no Rabbi kamba ra, Gaasiya kaŋ a daŋ ndunnya kulu ma haŋ a ra ka bugu. Ndunnya dumey n'a duvaŋo haŋ, i binde follo da futay.
8Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
8 Fap, folloŋ! Babila kaŋ ka halaci! Wa baray a se! Wa kond'a se safari a doori laala sabbay se, Hambara a ga hin ka te a ma yay.
9We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
9 Doŋ iri ga ba iri ma Babila yayandi, amma a mana yay. Iri ma fay d'a. Iri kulu ma ye iri laabey ra, Zama a ciito koy ka to hala beene, A ziji beene hal a to beene burey gaa.
10Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
10 Rabbi n'iri adilitara bangandi taray kwaaray. Wa kaa, iri ma Rabbi iri Irikoyo goyo dede Sihiyona ra.
11Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
11 Wa hangaw deeney kaanandi, wa tongey toonandi! Rabbi naŋ Medancey bonkooney biyey ma tun, Zama a miila goono ga gaaba nda Babila, Nga m'a halaci se. Zama Rabbi banando no, a fuwo banandi nooya.
12Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
12 Wa liiliwal sinji, i ma wongu nda Babila birni cinarey. Wa batandiyaŋ gaabandi, wa batukoyaŋ daŋ, Wa gumandi izeyaŋ soola, Zama Rabbi na woodin miila. A ga haya kaŋ a ci Babila gorokoy boŋ din goyo te mo.
13Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
13 Ya nin, waybora kaŋ goono ga goro hari boobey jarga, Nin, arzaka boobo koyo, ni bananta kaa, Ni zamba riiba neesijo me nooya.
14Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
14 Rabbi Kundeykoyo ze da nga boŋ ka ne: Daahir ay ga ni toonandi nda wongaariyaŋ danga do baayaŋ cine, i ga zaama kuuwayaŋ te ni boŋ.
15He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
15 A hino do no Irikoy na ndunnya te, A na ndunnya sinji nga laakalo boŋ, A fahama mo no a na beeney daaru nd'a.
16When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
16 D'a ce da nga jinda, Harey ga kosongu te beena ra. A ga naŋ burey ma tun za ndunnya me ka ziji, A ga kande beene mali da hari care banda, A ga haw kaa taray nga jisiri nangey ra mo.
17Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
17 Adam-ize kulu ciya sanda alman kaŋ si hay kulu bay. Wura zam kulu mo, haawi n'a di nga tooro kaŋ a dan din sabbay se, Zama a sooguyaŋ himandey kaŋ a te din ya tangari no, Fulanzamyaŋ si no i niiney ra mo.
18They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
18 Hari yaamoyaŋ no, halliyaŋ goy no, I alhakko hane mo i ga halaci.
19The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
19 Amma Yakuba baa, manti yaadin cine no a go, Zama nga no ga ti hay kulu Teekwa, Israyla mo a wane kunda no. Rabbi Kundeykoyo no ga ti a maa.
20Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
20 A ga ne: Nin no ga ti ay deeso d'ay wongu jinay. Nin no ay ga ndunnya dumey ceeri-ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga mayrayey halaci nd'a.
21and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
21 Nin no ay ga bari nda nga kaaruko ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga torko da nga kaarukwa ceeri-ceeri nd'a.
22and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
22 Nin no ay ga alborey da wayborey ceeri-ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga dottijo zeeney da zankey ceeri-ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga arwasey da wandiyey ceeri-ceeri nd'a.
23and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
23 Nin no ay ga hawji da nga alman kuro ceeri-ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga farikoy da nga farmi hawey ceeri-ceeri nd'a. Nin no ay ga bonkooney da mayraykoyey ceeri-ceeri nd'a mo.
24And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
24 Ay ga bana Babila da Kaldiya gorokoy kulu gaa mo, laala kulu kaŋ i te Sihiyona ra araŋ jine din sabbay se. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
25Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
25 A go, ya nin tondi kuuko kaŋ ga halaciyaŋ te, Ay ga gaaba nda nin. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Nin kaŋ goono ga ndunnya kulu halaci. Ay ga kambe salle ka gaaba nda nin, Ay ma ni gunguray ni ma fun ni tondey boŋ, Ay ma ni ciya tondi kuuku kaŋ i ton.
26And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
26 I si tondi ize fo kaa ni gaa, baa cinari looko se, Wala cinaro daba se, Amma ni ga ciya kurmu hal abada. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
27Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
27 Wa seeda liiliwal sinji laabo ra. Wa hilli kar ndunnya dumey kulu ra, Wa ndunnya dumey fay waani hal i ma gaaba nd'a. Wa Ararat da Minni da Askenazu mayrayey ce, I ma margu a gaa. Wa wonkoy daŋ i se, Wa naŋ bariyey ma kaaru sanda do bi cine.
28Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
28 Wa ndunnya dumey fay waani zama i ma gaaba nd'a, Ngey: Medancey bonkooney da ngey yaarimey d'i mayraykoyey, D'a mayra laabo kulu.
29And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
29 Laabo goono ga zinji, a goono ga kuubi nda doori, Zama Rabbi waadey kaŋ a soola Babila boŋ ga kay a gaa, Sanda i ma Babila laabo ciya saaji fimbi kaŋ sinda goroko.
30The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
30 Babila wane gaabikooney na wongu naŋ, I koy ka goro ngey wongu fu gaabikooney ra. I gaabo gaze, i ciya sanda wayboroyaŋ. Babila windey, danji n'i ŋwa. A kwaara meyey gaa karangaley ceeri-ceeri.
31Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
31 Zaji fo ga tun da zuray zama nga ma kubay d'afo, Diya fo mo ga koy ka kubay d'afo, Zama i ma ci Babila bonkoono se kaŋ wongu n'a gallo me-d'a-me ŋwa.
32and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
32 I na isa yawyaŋ nangey di, I na danji daŋ farrey gaa, Wongaarey mo jijiri nda humburkumay.
33For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
33 Zama yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Babila ize wayo ga hima sanda karayaŋ gangani waati kaŋ cine i goono g'a kara. D'a gay kayna mo, kala fari wiyaŋ waate no ga kaa a gaa.
34Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
34 Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar n'ay ŋwa ka ban, A n'ay naan, a n'ay jisi danga kusu koonu cine. A n'ay gon sanda mate kaŋ dodo-beeri ga te cine, A na nga gunda toonandi da ay bine baakasinay harey, Gaa no a n'ay yeeri.
35The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
35 Sihiyona gorokwa ga ne: Toonye kaŋ i te ay se d'ay gaa-baso se, a m'a bare ka ye Babila boŋ. Urusalima ga ne: Ay kuro alhakko ma ye Kaldiya gorokoy boŋ.
36Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
36 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Woodin se binde, Guna, ay go ni se, Ay ma faasa ni se ka alhakku toonanta bana ni sabbay se. Ay ma Babila isa beero koogandi, Ay m'a hari-moy sundandi.
37And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
37 Babila ga ciya laabu guyaŋ, Zoŋoyaŋ nangoray, da humburandiyaŋ hari, Da donda-caray hari, kaŋ sinda goroko.
38They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
38 I ga dundu care banda sanda muusu beeri izeyaŋ, I ga kaati sanda muusu hay-tajiyaŋ cine.
39When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
39 Waati kaŋ i maa korni, Ay wo ga foori te i se, Ay g'i bugandi zama i ma farhã. I ma kani mo ka jirbi hal abada. I mo ma si ye ka hay koyne. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
40I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
40 Ay g'i boy sanda feej'izeyaŋ kaŋ i goono ga konda wiyaŋ do, Sanda feeji gaaru nda hincin jindi yaŋ cine.
41How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
41 Dambara hari no kaŋ i na Sesak ŋwa! Ndunnya kulu zamuuyaŋo, wongu n'a di! Babila ciya kurmu ndunnya dumey game ra!
42The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
42 Teeko furo Babila ra, Hal a yoole teeku bonday beerey ra.
43Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
43 A galley ciya kurmu yaŋ da gangani kogo da batama falulle, laabu kaŋ boro kulu si goro a ra, Adam-ize kulu si no kaŋ ga gana ka bisa a ra.
44And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
44 Ay ga bana Bel gaa Babila ra. Haŋ kaŋ a gon mo, ay g'a kaa a meyo ra. Ndunnya dumey si ye ka ceeri ka ye a do koyne. Oho, baa Babila birno cinaro ga kaŋ.
45Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
45 Ay jama, ma fatta a bindo ra, Boro fo kulu ma nga boŋ faaba Rabbi futay korna gaa.
46lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
46 Araŋ biney ma si yangala, Araŋ ma si humburu mo baaro kaŋ i ga maa laabo ra din sabbay se. Zama baaru fo ga kaa jiiri filaana ra, Yeesi fo mo baaru fo koyne ga kaa. Toonye goy ga bara laabo ra, Mayraykoyey ga yanje nda care.
47Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
47 A go binde, jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ ay ga alhakku bana Babila toorey gaa. Laabo me-a-me mo ga haaw. A borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ i wi ga kaŋ a bindo ra mo.
48And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
48 Waato din gaa beene nda ganda nda hay kulu kaŋ go i ra ga kuuwa Babila boŋ farhã sabbay se. Zama borey kaŋ g'a ku wongu ra ga fun azawa kambe ka kaa a gaa. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
49As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
49 Oho, mate kaŋ cine Babila ga kaŋ Israyla waney kaŋ i wi yaŋ sabbay se, Yaadin cine no ndunnya kulu wiyantey mo ga kaŋ Babila sabbay se.
50Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
50 Araŋ kaŋ na takuba yana, wa koy! Wa si ye ka kay hinne! Wa fongu Rabbi gaa za araŋ go nangu mooro, Urusalima mo ma kaa araŋ laakalo ra.
51-- We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
51 Iri yaley bare zama iri maa wowyaŋ. Haawi n'iri moydumey daabu, Zama mebarawyaŋ furo Rabbi windo nangu hanantey ra.
52-- Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
52 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ ay ga alhakku bana a toorey gaa. A laabo kulu ra mo borey kaŋ yaŋ maray da marayyaŋ laalo ga soobay ka duray.
53Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
53 Baa day Babila ga kaaru hala beene, A ma nga wongu cinaro gaabandi noodin beene, Kulu nda yaadin ay ga halaciyankoyey donton a gaa. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
54The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
54 Hẽeni jinde neeya kaŋ ga fun Babila, Da halaciyaŋ bambata mo kaŋ ga fun Kaldancey laabo ra!
55for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
55 Zama Rabbi ga ba ka Babila kaa koonu. Kosongu beero din ga ban a ra. I bondayey ga dundu sanda hari boobo yaŋ cine, Boro ga maa i jindey kosongo.
56For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the ùGod of recompences, will certainly requite.
56 Zama halacikwa ga kaa a gaa, Babila gaa nooya. A g'a wongaarey di k'i birawey ceeri-ceeri, Zama Rabbi ya Irikoy no kaŋ ga bana, Daahir a ga banandi toonante te.
57And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
57 Ay g'a mayraykoyey d'a laakalkooney d'a dabarikooney d'a yaarimey d'a wongaarey bugandi, I ga jirbi nda jirbi kaŋ ga duumi, kaŋ i mo si hay, Yaadin no Koy Beero kaŋ a maa ga ti Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
58Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
58 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: I ga Babila birni cinari tafey hibandi parkatak, I g'a me daabirji kuukey ton da danji. Dumey taabo ga ciya yaamo, Dumey na ngey boŋ fargandi day no danji se.
59The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
59 Sanno kaŋ annabi Irimiya na Seraya Neriya izo Maaseya ize lordi nd'a neeya, waato kaŋ a koy Babila Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya banda a koytaray jiiri taacanta ra. (Seraya wo binde, naaruyaŋ muraadu feeriko no.)
60And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
60 Irimiya mo hantum tira ra masiiba kulu kaŋ ga kaa ka kaŋ Babila boŋ, sanda sanney kulu kaŋ i hantum Babila boŋ nooya.
61And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
61 Irimiya ne Seraya se: «Da ni to Babila, kala ni ma sanney wo kulu caw k'i fe _jama se|_.
62and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
62 Gaa no ni ma ne: ‹Ya Rabbi, nin no ka salaŋ kwaaro wo boŋ, ni ne a ga halaci hala goroko kulu si cindi a ra, za boro ka koy alman, amma nango ga ciya kurmu hal abada.›
63And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
63 A ga ciya binde, da ni na tira caw ka ban, kala ni ma tondi haw a gaa k'a catu Ufratis isa bindo ra.
64and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
64 Ni ma ne koyne: ‹Yaawo no Babila ga miri nd'a, kaŋ a si ye ka tun koyne, masiiba kaŋ ay ga candi ka kande a gaa din sabbay se.› » Irimiya sanney me nooya.
