¹Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

¹ Amma nin wo, Baytlahami Efrata, Baa kaŋ ni ya ikayna no Yahuda kwaarey game ra, Ni ra no boro fo ga fatta ay se, Kaŋ ga ciya mayraykoy Israyla ra, Kaŋ a kaajo, za doŋ zamaney ra no a go no, Za doŋ-doŋ kaŋ sinda me.

²(And thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall he come forth unto me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.)

² Woodin se no a g'i nooyandi, Hala waato kaŋ waybora kaŋ go hay-zaŋay ra ma ize hay. Waato din gaa no a nya-izey kaŋ cindi ga ye ka kaa Israyla izey do.

³Therefore will he give them up, until the time when she which travaileth shall have brought forth: and the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.

³ Nga mo ga kay ka nga kuro kuru Rabbi hino ra, Rabbi a Irikoyo maa darzanta ra nooya. I ga tondo mo, zama sohõ a ga ciya beeraykoy hala ndunnya kulu me.

⁴And he shall stand and feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God. And they shall abide; for now shall he be great even unto the ends of the earth.

⁴ Bora din mo ga ciya iri laakal kana. Waati kaŋ Assiriya bora ga furo iri laabo ra, Hal a taamu mo iri faadey ra, Waati din gaa no iri mo ga hawji iyye da jine boro ahakku tunandi a gaa.

⁵And this [man] shall be Peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of men.

⁵ I ga Assiriya laabo halaci nda takuba, Nimrudu laabo mo ga halaci a hirro gaa. A g'iri faaba mo Assiriya bora kambe ra, Waati kaŋ a ga kaa iri laabo gaa, Saaya kaŋ cine a ga taamu iri hirro gaa.

⁶And they shall waste the land of Asshur with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof; and he shall deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

⁶ Yakuba wane cindo mo ga goro dumi boobo game ra sanda harandaŋ kaŋ fun Rabbi do, Sanda mate kaŋ cine beene hari ga kaŋ subu boŋ, Kaŋ si boro batu, a si Adam-izey hangan mo.

⁷And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, neither waiteth for the sons of men.

⁷ Yakuba wane cindo mo ga goro dumi cindey game ra, Kunda boobo game ra nooya, Sanda muusu beeri go ganji hamey game ra, Da muus'ize feeji kuruyaŋ game ra. Nga mo, d'a ga bisa, kal a ma taamu-taamu, Kal a ma tooru-tooru, faabako kulu si no mo.

⁸And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

⁸ Ni ga ni kamba zinji ni ibarey boŋ, Ni ga borey kaŋ yaŋ wongu nin kulu mo ban.

⁹Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

⁹ Rabbi ne: Zaaro din ra, Ay ga ni bariyey ban ni bindo ra, Ay ma ni torkey mo halaci.

¹⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.

¹⁰ Ay ga ni laabo birney halaci, Ay ma ni wongu fuwey kulu zeeri mo.

¹¹And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and overthrow all thy strongholds.

¹¹ Ya ziimataray ban ka kaa ni kambe ra, Gunako mo si cindi ni do.

¹²And I will cut off sorceries out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no soothsayers.

¹² Ay ga tooru jabantey ban, Da ni cinari kuukey ni bindo ra, Hala ni ma si ye ka sududu ni kambe goyey se koyne.

¹³Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy statues out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more bow down to the work of thy hands.

¹³ Ay ga ni wayboro himandi bundu toorey dagu ka kaa ni bindo ra, Ay ga ni kwaarey halaci mo.

¹⁴And I will pluck up thine Asherahs out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy cities.

¹⁴ Dukuri nda futay ra ay ga alhakku bana dumi cindey gaa kaŋ yaŋ mana hanga jeeri ay se.

¹⁵And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury upon the nations, such as they have not heard of.
