1Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
1 Kaari ngey kaŋ ga zamba dabarey kunsum, I ga laala soola mo ngey daarey boŋ. Da susuba to mo, i g'a te, Zama a go i kambey hino ra.
2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
2 I ga fariyaŋ bini, i g'i kom, Da windiyaŋ mo, hal i m'i ta. I ga boro nda nga windo kom, Oho, hala boro nda nga tubo.
3Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
3 Woodin yaŋ sabbay se no, yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay mo, ay ga masiiba soola almayaalo wo boŋ. Araŋ si hin mo k'araŋ boŋ kaa tibi. Araŋ si du ka dira ka boŋ jare beene koyne, Za kaŋ zamana woone ga ciya ilaalo.
4In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
4 Zaari woodin ra i ga misa te araŋ boŋ. I ma hẽ da hẽeni kaŋ ga bakarandi, i ma ne: «Iri halaci parkatak!» A n'ay borey baa barmay, Guna mate kaŋ a n'a sambu nd'a ay do. A n'iri farey wo fay ka zaban turantey se.
5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
5 Woodin se no ni ga jaŋ boro kaŋ ga korfo candi nga baa neesiyaŋ sabbay se Rabbi jama ra.
6Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
6 I go ga ne: «Wa fay da annabitaray woodin dumi. Wa si annabitaray sanni woodin yaŋ dumi te, Boro kulu si iri kaynandi ya-cine.»
7O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
7 Ya nin, Yakuba kunda, i go ga woone ci, wala? Rabbi Biya to nga suuro me no? A goyo nooya, wala? Wala ay sanney mana te nafa fo no boro kaŋ goono ga dira cimi ra se?
8But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
8 Amma jirbey wo ay borey tun sanda day ibareyaŋ. Borey kaŋ go ga bisa baani samay, Ngey kaŋ go ga fun wongu do. Araŋ ga kwaay beeri kaa i kwaay-ize boŋ.
9The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
9 Araŋ n'ay jama wayborey jindaw ka kaa ngey windi kaaney ra. Araŋ goono g'ay darza kom i ize kayney gaa hal abada.
10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
10 Wa tun ka dira ne, Zama neewo manti araŋ fulanzamyaŋ do no bo. Hananyaŋ-jaŋay kaŋ ga halacandi sabbay se no, Halaciyaŋ korno ga te.
11If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying,] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
11 Hala day tangarikom na nga tangari dumbu ka ne: «Ay ga duvan* da baji yulwa annabitaray te ni se» -- to, bora din no ga ti dumo wo se annabi*.
12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
12 Daahir, kal ay m'araŋ kulu margu, Ya nin Yakuba. Daahir ay ga Israyla dumo kaŋ cindi margu. Ay g'i margu care ra sanda kali ra feejiyaŋ, Sanda kuru kaŋ go nga kuray nango bindo ra. Kosongu beeri ga te jama marga baayaŋ sabbay se.
13One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
13 Kurukwa ga kali meyo bagu ka fatta i jine, Almaney ga kali meyo bagu ka tonton, i ga fatta a ra mo. I koyo ga bisa ka furo i jine, Rabbi no ga ti i boŋo.
