1 Rabbi Kundeykoyo sanno kaa ay do ka ne:
1The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
2 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Ay ga canse Sihiyona gaa da canse korno. Ay g'a canse mo da futay korno gumo.
2Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Rabbi ne: Ay ga ye ka kaa Sihiyona do, ay ga goro mo Urusalima bindo ra. I ga ne Urusalima se Cimi Birni. Rabbi Kundeykoyo tondo mo, i ga ne a se Tondi Hananta.
3Thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
4 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Arkusu zeeney, alborey da wayborey ga ye ka goro koyne Urusalima fondey ra, afo kulu nda nga goobo nga kambe ra i jiirey baayaŋo sabbay se.
4Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 Birno fondey mo ga to da zankayaŋ, arwasey da wandiyey ga fooru a fondey ra.
5The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Da woodin dambara hari no borey kaŋ cindi sohõ zamana woone ra se, dambara hari nooya ay se, wala? Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
6Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Guna, wayna funay da wayna kaŋay haray laabey ra mo, ay g'ay borey faaba i ma kaa.
7Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 Ay ga ye ka kand'ey Urusalima. I ga goro a bindo ra mo. I ga ciya ay jama, ay mo ga ciya i Irikoyo naaney da adilitaray ra.
8and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
9 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Araŋ kaŋ goono ga maa jirbi woone yaŋ ra sanney wo annabey me ra, kaŋ yaŋ i ci alwaato kaŋ ra i na Rabbi Kundeykoyo windo ganda daba sinji, sududuyaŋ windo, araŋ kambey ma te gaabi zama i m'a cina se.
9Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Zama hala jirbi woodin yaŋ kaa i mana boro wala alman sufuray. Baani si no mo boro kaŋ ga furo wala boro kaŋ ga fatta se a ibarey sabbay se. Zama ay na borey kulu kubandi care gaa, afo kulu ga gaaba nda nga gorokasin.
10For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 Amma baa sohõ ay si ciya borey kaŋ cindi din se sanda mate kaŋ ay go doŋ jiirey ra cine. Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
11But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
12 Zama dumar'ize ga te albarka, reyzin* nya ga nga izey hay, laabo ga nga nafa kaa taray, beena mo ga nga harandaŋo te. Ay ga naŋ mo borey kaŋ yaŋ cindi wo, i ma hayey wo kulu tubu.
12“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 A ga ciya mo, sanda mate kaŋ cine araŋ bara laaliyaŋ hari dumi cindey game ra, ya araŋ, Yahuda da Israyla dumo, yaadin cine mo no ay g'araŋ faaba hal araŋ ma ciya albarka hari. Wa si humburu bo, amma araŋ kambey ma te gaabi.
13It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Zama yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo goono ga ci: Sanda mate kaŋ cine ay miila ay ma hasaraw te araŋ se, waato kaŋ araŋ kaayey n'ay zokoti, ay mo, yan'ay miila barmay bo. Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
14For thus says Yahweh of Armies: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent;
15 Yaadin cine mo no sohõ jirbi woone yaŋ ra ay gonda miila ay ma Urusalima da Yahuda dumo boriyandi. Araŋ ma si humburu bo.
15so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te neeya: kala boro fo kulu ma cimi ci nga gorokasino se. Wa ciiti nda cimi hala laakal kanay ma bara araŋ faadey ra.
16These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 Araŋ afo kulu mo ma si laala saaware nga bina ra nga gorokasin boŋ. Araŋ ma si ba tangari boŋ zeyaŋ mo, zama woodin yaŋ kulu no ay ga konn'ey. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
17and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
18 Rabbi Kundeykoyo sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:
18The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
19 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Handu taacanta mehawo, da handu gu wano, da handu iyya wano, da handu way wano mo, i ga bare ka ciya farhã da bine kaani hari Yahuda dumo se. I ga ciya batu kaano yaŋ. Woodin sabbay se no araŋ ma ba cimi da laakal kanay.
19Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Han fo ne ka koy jina dumi boobo ga kaa, sanda gallu boobo gorokoy no.
20Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;
21 Kwaara fo borey ga koy afo do ka ne: Iri ma koy da waasi ka gomni ŋwaaray Rabbi gaa. Iri ma Rabbi Kundeykoyo ceeci, iri mo ga koy.
21and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’
22 Oho, dumi boobo ga kaa ka Rabbi Kundeykoyo ceeci Urusalima ra, i ma Rabbi gomno ceeci.
22Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Jirbey din ra dumi da deeney kulu ra boro way ga Yahudance folloŋ kwaay di, i ma ne: «Iri ga koy araŋ banda, zama iri maa baaru kaŋ Irikoy go araŋ banda.»
23Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
