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.

⁶Ivo vachaparadza nyika yeAsiria nomunondo, nenyika yaNimurodhi painopindwa napo; iye achatirwira kumuAsiria, kana achinge achipinda nyika yedu nokutsika mukati memiganho yedu.

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.
