¹ Rabbi sanno neeya kaŋ ga gaaba nda Hadrak laabo, A ga zumbu Damaskos boŋ mo. (Zama borey moy da Israyla kundey kulu waney go Rabbi gaa.)

¹An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;

² A ga gaaba nda Hamat mo kaŋ go a hirro boŋ, Da Tir da Zidon mo, baa kaŋ i gonda carmay boobo.

²and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

³ Tir na wongu fu cina nga boŋ se. A na nzarfu margu-margu ka gusam sanda laabu cine, Wura hanante mo go no danga day fondo gaa potor-potor cine.

³Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.

⁴ A go, Koy Beero g'a duura ta a gaa. A g'a hino kar mo ka zeeri teeko ra. A g'a ŋwa da danji.

⁴Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.

⁵ Askelon ga di woodin, a ga humburu mo. Gaza mo ga bimbilko da foyray. Ekron mo ga haaw a beeja sabbay se. Koyo ga bu Gaza ra. Askelon mo ga jaŋ boro kaŋ ga goro a ra.

⁵Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

⁶ Zina ize dumi fo mo ga goro Asdod ra ka koytaray ŋwa noodin. Yaadin cine no ay ga Filistancey boŋbeera zeeri nd'a.

⁶Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁷ Ay g'a kuro hibandi ka kaa a meyo ra, ka kazaamatara mo kaa a hinjey game ra. Nga mo ga ciya dumi kaŋ cindi iri Irikoyo se. A ga ciya sanda Yahuda jine boro fo cine. Ekron mo ga ciya sanda Yebus boro fo.

⁷I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁸ Ay ga zumbu ay windo windanta wongu marga sabbay se, Da boro kulu kaŋ ga bisa ka koy, Wala kaŋ ga bisa ka ye mo sabbay se. Taabandikoy si ye ka gana i ra koyne, Zama sohõ ay di d'ay moy.

⁸I will encamp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.

⁹ Ya nin Sihiyona ize wayo, ma farhã gumo. Ya nin Urusalima ize wayo, ma jinde sambu ka cilili! Guna, ni Bonkoono go kaa ni do, Nga wo adilitaraykoy no, zaama teeko mo no, Boŋ baanaykoy no. A go ga goro farkay boŋ, Farkay binj'izo boŋ.

⁹Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

¹⁰ Ay ga Ifraymu ganji wongu torkoyaŋ, Bariyey mo, ya i fay da Urusalima. I ga wongu biraw mo beeri ka pati. A ga laakal kanay sanni te mo dumi cindey se. A mayra mo ga to za teeko gaa kala teeku fa gaa koyne, Za isa gaa mo kala ndunnya me.

¹⁰I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ Ize wayo, nin mo, ni alkawli kuro sabbay se ay na ni wane hawantey taŋ i ma fun guusey kaŋ sinda hari ra.

¹¹As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

¹² Ya araŋ hawantey kaŋ yaŋ gonda beeje, Wa bare ka ye wongu fuwo do, Ize wayo, baa hunkuna ay go ga seeda ni se ka ne ay ga bana ni se hala labu-care hinka.

¹²Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

¹³ Zama ay na Yahuda naan ka siirandi ay boŋ se. Ay na Ifraymu mo daŋ ay birawo gaa. Ya Sihiyona, ay ga naŋ ni izey ma gaaba nda ni izey, ya Gares laabu. Ay ma ni ciya sanda yaarukom takuba.

¹³For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

¹⁴ Rabbi mo ga bangay i boŋey se beene, A hangawo mo ga fatta sanda maliyaŋ cine. Rabbi, Koy Beero ga hilli kar, A ga fatta mo, nga nda dandi kambe hari haw beero.

¹⁴Yahweh will be seen over them; and his arrow will go flash like lightning; and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁵ Rabbi Kundeykoyo ga faasa i se han din hane. I ga ŋwa mo, i ma finga-fingakoyey tondey taamu-taamu. I ga haŋ mo ka soobay ka kaati danga duvan* hankoyaŋ. I ga to sanda gaasiyayaŋ, sanda feema lokotey.

¹⁵Yahweh of Armies will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

¹⁶ Rabbi i Irikoyo g'i faaba han din hane sanda a borey kuru cine. I ga nyaale a laabo ra sanda koytaray fuula taalamyaŋ tondiyaŋ cine.

¹⁶Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

¹⁷ Zama man i albarka beero misa! Man i darza misa mo! Ntaasu ga naŋ arwasey ma zaada, Reyzin* hari mo ga te yaadin wandiyey se.

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
