1Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is at hand;
1 Wa hilli kar Sihiyona ra. Wa kar ka kuuwa ay tondi hananta ra. Laabo gorokoy mo ma jijiri, Zama Rabbi zaaro go kaa, a maan mo zaati.
2a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; -- a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.
2 Zaaro kaŋ gonda yuumay da kubay no, Zaaro kaŋ gonda burey da kubay bi tik. Danga mate kaŋ cine mo boyaŋ kaari ga daaru tondi kuukey boŋ, Yaadin cine no dumi gaabikooni bambata go no, Kaŋ boro mana di a dumi baa ce fo. A banda i si ye ka di i cine koyne, Kal a ma koy zamana boobo.
3A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.
3 Danji go ga di i jine, I banda mo danji beele go ga di. I jine laabo ga ciya danga Eden kalo cine, Amma i banda a ga ciya saaji koonu -- Oho, hala hay kulu mana i yana.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.
4 I gunayaŋ alhaalo ga hima bariyaŋ, Danga wongu bariyaŋ, yaadin cine no i ga zuru.
5Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
5 I ga kosongu danga wongu torkoyaŋ, Tondi kuukey boŋ no i ga sar ka zimbi, Danga danji kunguyaŋ kaŋ go ga subu ŋwa, Danga dumi gaabikooni kaŋ na wongu daaga sinji cine.
6Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale.
6 Borey kulu go azaaba ra i jine, Moydumey kulu yalu bare.
7They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.
7 I go ga zuru danga alboro gaabikooniyaŋ cine, I ga cinari kaaru danga soojeyaŋ cine. I boro kulu go ga dira care banda, A sinda wo kaŋ kamba fonda ra,
8Neither doth one press upon another; they march every one in his path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded.
8 Afo si afo tuti mo, Boro kulu ga nga boŋ fondo gana. Waati kaŋ i ga wongu daaga bagu, I si ngey fondey taŋ.
9They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.
9 I go ga sar birni cinaro gaa, I ma zuru birni cinaro boŋ, I ma kaaru ka furo hala fuwey ra, I ma furo finetarey gaa danga zay cine.
10The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
10 Laabo go ga gasi i jine, Beeney go ga jijiri, Wayna nda hando kaaro goono ga zabu ka te kubay, Handariyayzey mo, i kaaro goono ga zabu.
11And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it?
11 Kala Rabbi ma nga jinda sambu nga wongu marga jine. Daahir a zumbuyaŋo gata ga beeri gumo, Zama boro kaŋ g'a sanno toonandi ya gaabikooni no. Zama Rabbi zaaro ya ibeeri no, kaŋ ga humburandi mo. May no ga hin a k'a suuru?
12Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning;
12 Amma baa sohõ, mate kaŋ Rabbi ci, «Araŋ ma ye ka kaa ay do d'araŋ biney kulu, Da mehawyaŋ, da hẽeni da bine saray.»
13and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
13 Wa araŋ biney tooru, manti araŋ bankaarayey bo. Day wa ye ka kaa Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo do, Zama nga wo gomnikoy no, toonante no da bakaraw, A ga gay hal a bine ga tun, A gonda baakasinay suuji boobo, A ga nga miila bare ka fay da masiiba.
14Who knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?
14 May no ga bay hal a si bare ka nga miila barmay, A ma albarka naŋ nga bareyaŋo banda, Sanda ŋwaari sargay da haŋyaŋ wane nooya, Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo se?
15Blow the trumpet in Zion, hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;
15 Wa hilli kar Sihiyona ra, Araŋ ma mehaw jirbiyaŋ fe, Araŋ ma sududuyaŋ marga margu.
16gather the people, hallow the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride from her closet.
16 Wa borey margu, wa jama hanandi. Wa arkusey, da zankey, da naanandey margu. Naŋ arhiiji ma fatta nga fuwo ra, Wayhiiji mo ma fun nga tuguyaŋo do.
17Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, thy people, and give not thine inheritance to reproach, that they should be a byword of the nations. Wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
17 Alfagey, kaŋ ga ti Rabbi goy-teerey ma hẽ tanda da sargay feema game ra. I ma ne: «Ya Rabbi, ma jalla ni jama gaa, Ma si ni wane jama ciya wowi hari, Hala dumi cindey m'i hahaara. Zama ifo se no borey dumey ra i ma ne: ‹Man no i Irikoyo go binde›?»
18Then Jehovah will be jealous for his land, and will have pity on his people.
18 Waato din gaa no Rabbi ga canse nga laabo se, A ga bakar nga jama se.
19And Jehovah will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I send you corn, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
19 Rabbi ga tu mo ka ne nga jama se: «Guna, a si gay kaŋ ay ga ntaaso nda reyzin* hari nda ji samba araŋ se, Araŋ ga kungu nd'ey mo. Ay si ye k'araŋ nooyandi koyne araŋ ma ciya wowi hari dumi cindey se.
20And I will remove far off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things.
20 Amma ay ga azawa wongu marga ganandi k'a moorandi araŋ gaa. Ay m'a gaaray ka kond'a laabu fo kaŋ gonda jaw, Kaŋ ra sinda nafa. Wongo jina boŋo do haray batukoy, Ay m'i gaaray ka daŋ wayna funay haray teeko ra. Banda haray batukoy mo, Ay m'i gaaray ka daŋ wayna kaŋay haray teeko ra. A farreyaŋo ma tun, a fumbo mo ma tun, Zama a na muraadu beeriyaŋ te.»
21-- Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for Jehovah doeth great things.
21 Ya laabo, ma si humburu, Ma te bine kaani ka farhã mo, Zama Rabbi na muraadu beeriyaŋ te.
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring; for the tree beareth its fruit; the fig-tree and the vine yield full increase.
22 Ya araŋ ganji hamey, wa si humburu, Zama saajo ra kuray nangey ye ka zay, Zama tuuri-nyaŋey ye ka ngey izey hay, Jeejay nya, da reyzin nya mo, i ye ka hay gumo.
23And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning [of the season].
23 Yaadin gaa, ya Sihiyona izey, araŋ ma farhã ka te bine kaani Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo se, Zama a n'araŋ no beene hari sintina araŋ adilitara boŋ. A na hari gusam araŋ boŋ, Sintina wano da bananta wano, danga waato cine.
24And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
24 Araŋ karayaŋ ganganey ga to da alkama, Gulley mo ga to da reyzin hari nda ji, hal i ga mun.
25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.
25 Koyne, ay ga ye ka jiirey bana araŋ se kaŋ do ciray, Da maram-fanda, da kaanayze, da do bi ŋwa. Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga ti ay wongu marga bambata, Kaŋ ay donton araŋ game ra.
26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
26 Araŋ ga ŋwa gumo ka kungu, Araŋ ma Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo maa sifa, Nga kaŋ goy araŋ se da dambara hari. Ay borey mo si ye ka haaw hal abada.
27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, and there is none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 Gaa no araŋ ga bay kaŋ ay go Israyla* game ra, Ay no ga ti Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo, Afo kulu si no kala ay. Ay borey mo si haaw hal abada.
28And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
28 Woodin banda a ga ciya ay g'ay Biya zumandi Adam-izey kulu boŋ. Araŋ ize arey d'araŋ ize wayey ga annabitaray te, Araŋ dottijey ga hindiriyaŋ te, Araŋ sahãkooney mo ga di bangayyaŋ.
29Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
29 Baa bannyey da koŋŋey boŋ mo ay g'ay Biya zumandi jirbey din ra.
30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
30 Ay ga dambara hariyaŋ cabe beene da ganda: Kuri, da danji, da dullu ciciriyaŋ.
31The sun shall be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come.
31 Wayna ga bare ka ciya kubay, Hando mo ga bare ka ciya kuri, Hala Rabbi zaari beero kaŋ ga humburandi ga kaa.
32And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah hath said, and for the residue whom Jehovah shall call.
32 A ga ciya mo, boro kulu kaŋ ga Rabbi maa ce ga du faaba. Zama Sihiyona tondo boŋ, da Urusalima ra i ga du borey kaŋ yaŋ ga yana, Boro cindo ra kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi ga ce. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
