1And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment?
1 Kal ay ne: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray no, wa maa, Ya araŋ, Yakuba jine borey, Ya araŋ, Israyla kunda maykoy. Manti araŋ no ga hima ka cimi ciiti bay bo?
2Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones;
2 Araŋ kaŋ go ga wangu ihanno ka ba ilaalo, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i gaa-kuuro foobu ka kaa i gaa, K'i hamo mo kaa i biriyey gaa.
3and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.
3 Araŋ kaŋ g'ay borey ham ŋwa, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i gaa-kuuro fooru ka kaa i gaa, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i biriyey ceeri-ceeri. Oho, araŋ goono g'i dumbu-dumbu, Danga day kusu ra daŋyaŋ se, Sanda ham kaŋ go hinayaŋ kusu ra.
4Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
4 Saaya din no jine borey ga jinde tunandi Rabbi gaa, Amma a si tu i se. Oho, alwaati din a ga nga moyduma tugu i se zama i na zunubi te ngey goyey ra.»
5Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into their mouths they prepare war against him:
5 Annabey kaŋ n'ay borey kambandi, D'i du haŋ kaŋ ga kaama nda ngey hinjey, I ga jinde sambu ka ne: «Baani!» Amma boro kulu kaŋ mana i no ngey me ŋwaaro, Kal i ma wongu soola a se. Yaadin no Rabbi ci i boŋ.
6therefore ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
6 Woodin sabbay se no cin ga to araŋ gaa, Araŋ si du bangandiyaŋ koyne. A ga ciya kubay araŋ se, hal araŋ si di gunayaŋ ra. Wayna ga kaŋ annabey gaa, Zaari mo ga ciya ibi tik! i se.
7And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God.
7 Bangandi duukoy, haawi g'i di. Gunakoy mo, i boŋ ga haw. Oho, i kulu ga ngey meyey daabu, Zama tuyaŋ si no kaŋ ga fun Irikoy do.
8But truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
8 Amma ay wo, Rabbi Biya do ay go toonante da hina, Da ciiti, da gaabi mo, kaŋ ga naŋ ay ma Yakuba murteyaŋo cabe a se, Ya Israyla zunubo mo cab'a se.
9Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity,
9 Sohõ ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa maa woone, Ya araŋ, Yakuba kunda jine borey, Ya araŋ, Israyla kunda maykoy, Araŋ kaŋ ga cimi ciiti fanta, Araŋ kaŋ ga hay kulu kaŋ ga kay siirandi.
10that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.
10 Araŋ kaŋ goono ga Sihiyona cina nda kuri, Urusalima mo da taali beeri.
11The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
11 A arkusey goono ga ciiti te me-daabu tayaŋ sabbay se, A alfagey ga dondonandi sufuray nooru se, A annabey mo ga gunayaŋ te nooru sabbay se. Kulu nda yaadin kal i ma jeeri Rabbi gaa, i ma ne: «Manti Rabbi go iri game ra bo? Masiiba kulu si du iri!»
12Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
12 Woodin se no, sanda araŋ goyey sabbay se nooya, I ga Sihiyona far sanda fari bata guyaŋ cine, Urusalima mo ga ciya kurmu sanda laabu guyaŋ cine. Rabbi windo tondo mo ga hima tuuri zugey ra tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangu cine.
