6

1Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
1 Kaari ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Sihiyona ra baani goray ra! Da ngey mo kaŋ goono ga baani goray te humburkumay si Samariya tondo ra, Boro beerey, dumi kaŋ bisa cindey waney, Borey kaŋ yaŋ Israyla dumo ga kaa i do!!
2Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
2 Wa bisa ka koy Kalne ka di. Noodin araŋ ma gana ka koy Hamat, kwaara beero do. Waati din gaa araŋ ma zulli ka koy Gat, Filistancey kwaara. Araŋ wo, araŋ bisa mayray woodin yaŋ booriyaŋ, Wala i laabo bisa araŋ laabo tafayyaŋ no?
3Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
3 Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga jeeri ka ne way, «Masiiba zaaro ga mooru,» Araŋ go ga toonye nangoray maanandi.
4Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
4 Borey kaŋ yaŋ go ga kani cebeeri hinje daari boŋ, I go ga ngey boŋ salle ngey daarijey boŋ, I goono ga feej'izey ŋwa kaŋ i kaa feeji kurey ra, Da handayzey mo kaŋ i kaa ngey silley gaa --
5who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
5 Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga dooni yaamoyaŋ te gooje hẽeni banda, Kaŋ yaŋ go ga dooni teeyaŋ hari yaŋ dan araŋ boŋ se, ka Dawda dondon.
6who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
6 Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ go ga duvan* haŋ gaasu ra, Ka araŋ boŋey tuusu nda ji kaŋ gonda darza, Amma araŋ biney mana sara Yusufu masiibey se!
7Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.
7 Sohõ binde i ga koy tamtaray ra, Ngey nda borey kaŋ yaŋ ga jin ka koy tamtaray care banda. Ndunnya kaani ganakoy kaŋ na ngey boŋ salle, I buco ga ban.
8“The Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies: “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and detest his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
8 Rabbi, Koy Beero ze da nga boŋ, Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ne: «Ay ga Yakuba darza fanta, ay wangu a faadey. Woodin sabbay se no ay ga birno nooyandi, Nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go a ra.»
9It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
9 A ga ciya mo, da boro way no ka cindi windi fo ra, i ga bu.
10“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention the name of Yahweh.’
10 Boro fo kaŋ bu, a dumo ga kaa k'a sambu, boro ma biriyey fattandi windo ra ka du k'i ton se. Kal a ma ne boro fo kaŋ go hala windo jina haray din se: «D'a ta day, afo cindi ni banda jina?» Nga mo ga ne: «Abada.» Saaya din a ga ne: «Ma dangay, zama i mana yadda iri se iri ma Rabbi maa ce.»
11“For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.
11 Zama a go, Rabbi na lordi te ka ne i ga windi beero bagu-bagu, I ma windi kayna mo kortu-kortu.
12Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
12 Bariyey ga zuru tondi boŋ no? Wala i ga haw daŋ ka fari laabu tunandi noodin? Zama araŋ na cimi ciiti bare ka ciya tay, Adilitaray izey mo, Araŋ n'i bare i ma ciya iforto danga farre cine.
13you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
13 Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga farhã da hay fo yaamo, ka ne: «Manti iri na hilli sambu iri boŋ se da iri gaabo?»
14For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says Yahweh, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
14 Ya Israyla windo, yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Guna, ay ga dumi fo tunandi araŋ gaa, Ngey mo g'araŋ taabandi za Hamat furanta kala ma koy Gooru Beero haro do.
