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.

¹Zvino muchafanira kuungana makaita mapoka, iwe mukunda wamapoka; muvengi wakatikomba, vacharova mutongi waIsiraeri netsvimbo padama rake.

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.

²Asi iwe Bheterehemu Efurata, muduku kwazvo pakati pezvuru zvamazana zvaJudha, kwauri kuchandibudira mumwe achava mubati pakati paIsiraeri; mabudiro ake ndaakare, pamazuva akare-kare.

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.

³Naizvozvo uchavaisa kuvavengi vavo, kusvikira panguva yokuzvara kwaiye anosurumuka; ipapo hama dzake, dzakasara, dzichadzoka navana vaIsiraeri.

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.

⁴Achamira, ndokufudza makwai ake nesimba raJehovha, noumambo bwezita raJehovha Mwari wake; zvino vachagara zvakanaka, nekuti zvino achava mukuru kusvikira kumigumo yenyika.

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.

⁵Iye achava rugare rwedu. Kana muAsiria achipinda munyika yedu, kana achitsika mudzimba dzedu dzoushe, tichamutsa vafudzi vanomwe namachinda masere pakati pavanhu kuti varwe naye.

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.

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

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.

⁷Ipapo vakasara vaJakove vachava pakati pamarudzi mazhinji avanhu sedova rinobva kuna Jehovha, semvura inonaya pauswa, zvisingamiriri munhu kana kugarira vanakomana vavanhu.

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

⁸Vakasara vaJakove vachava pakati pendudzi pakati pamarudzi mazhinji avanhu, seshumba pakati pemhuka dzomudondo, seshumba duku pakati pamapoka amakwai, inoti kana ichipfuurapo, inotsika nokubvamburanya, kusina anorwira.
