¹Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹ Rabbi sanno ye ka kaa ay do ka ne:

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

² Boro izo, ma naŋ Urusalima ma bay nga fanta harey gaa.

³and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

³ Ma ne a se: Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci Urusalima se: Ni kaajo da ni hayyaŋo, Kanaana laabu no i fun. Ni baaba ya Amorance no, ni nya mo Hittance no.

⁴As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁴ Ni hayyaŋ sanni mo, hano kaŋ hane i na ni hay din, boro kulu mana ni fuuma dumbu. I mana ni nyumay da hari zama i ma ni hanandi, i mana ni ziiri nda ciiri baa kayna, i mana zaara-zaara daŋ ni gaa mo.

⁵No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

⁵ Boro kulu mana ni guna nda bakaraw mo, ka gomni woodin te ni se ka bakar ni se. Amma i na ni furu saaji ra, zama i na ni fanta, hano kaŋ hane i na ni hay.

⁶When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

⁶ Ay binde, waato kaŋ ay go ga bisa, ay na ni gar ni go ga kani ka bimbilko ni kuro ra. Oho, baa kaŋ ni go ni kuro ra, ay day ne ni se: «Ma funa!»

⁷I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁷ Ay na ni naŋ ni ma baa sanda haŋ kaŋ i tilam fari ra cine. Ni beeri, ni ku, ni to wayboro kayyaŋ gurbi ra, ni fafey fun, ni boŋ hamney ku, amma bankaaray si ni gaa. Ni go gaa-koonu punti!

⁸Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁸ Ay binde, waato kaŋ ay go ga bisa koyne, ay na ni guna, ay di kaŋ ni to baakasinay alwaati. Ay mo n'ay kwaayo daŋ ka ni daabu ka ni gaa-koono bankaaray. Oho, ay ze ni se, ay na hiijay alkawli te ni se, ni ciya mo ay wane. Yaadin no Rabbi Irikoy ci.

⁹Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

⁹ Waato din gaa no ay na ni nyumay da hari. Oho, ay na ni kuro nyun ka kaa ni gaa, ay na ni tuusu nda ji mo.

¹⁰I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹⁰ Ay na ni bankaara nda bankaaray taalamante. Ay na taamuyaŋ te ni se da dofin kuuru, ay na ni didiji nda lin* baano, ay na ni daabu nda swa*.

¹¹I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹¹ Ay na ni taalam da jinay dumi-dumi. Ay na kambe guuru daŋ ni kambey gaa, ni jinda mo, ay na wura sisiri daŋ a gaa.

¹²I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹² Ay na korbay daŋ ni niina gaa, da hanga korbayyaŋ mo ni hangey gaa, da koytaray fuula hanno mo ni boŋo gaa.

¹³Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

¹³ Yaadin cine no i na ni taalam da wura nda nzarfu. Ni bankaarayey mo lin baano da swa taalamante no. Ni na hamni baano da yu da ji ŋwa. Ni ciya nyaalaway gumo nda cimi. Ni te arzaka hala ni to koytaray kayyaŋ gurbi ra.

¹⁴Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴ Ni maa koy nangu kulu ndunnya dumey ra ni sogoyaŋ hanna se, a kubay mo ay darza kaŋ ay daŋ ni gaa din sabbay se. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

¹⁵But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

¹⁵ Amma ni de ni sogotaray hanna gaa, hala ni na kaaruwataray* te ni maa beera sabbay se. Ni na ni kaaruwatara gusam boro kaŋ ga bisa kulu boŋ, boro kulu kaŋ ga ba r'a.

¹⁶You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁶ Ni na ni bankaaray fooyaŋ kaŋ gonda taalam dumi-dumi sambu ka te sududuyaŋ hari nd'ey, ni na kaaruwataray goy te i boŋ. Woodin dumi mana hima ka te, a ma si ciya mo yaadin.

¹⁷You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

¹⁷ Ni na ni taalam jinay hanney mo sambu, ay wura nd'ay nzarfu waney, kaŋ ay na ni no. Ni na alboro himandi-himandiyaŋ te ni boŋ se ka zina nd'ey.

¹⁸and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

¹⁸ Ni na ni taalam bankaaray sambu ka daabu i gaa, ni na ay jiyo d'ay dugo daŋ i jine.

¹⁹My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁹ Ay ŋwaaro mo kaŋ ay na ni no, hamni baano da ji da yu kaŋ ay na ni kuru nd'ey, ni n'i jisi toorey din jine, i ma te haw kaano. Yaadin no a bara. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

²⁰Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

²⁰ Ni na ni izey kaŋ ni hay ay se yaŋ sambu, alboro nda wayboro ka n'i nooyandi sargay toorey se zama i m'i ŋwa ka ban. Ni kaaruwatara wo hay fo kayna no, wala?

²¹that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

²¹ Ni na ay izey wi, ni n'i nooyandi sargay kaŋ i ga ton toorey se.

²²In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

²² Fanta harey da zina goy kulu kaŋ ni te ra, ni mana fongu ni zankataray waate jirbey, waato kaŋ ni go gaa-koonu, bankaaray si, ni go ga kani ka bimbilko ni kuro ra.

²³It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

²³ A ciya mo koyne, ni daa laala din kulu banda -- (Kaari, kaari nin! Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci) --

²⁴that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

²⁴ kala ni ye ka tooru fu yaŋ da cinari kuuku yaŋ cina ni boŋ se batama fo kulu ra.

²⁵You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

²⁵ Ni na ni cinari kuuku te fondey lokotey kulu gaa, ni na ni darza ciya fanta hari. Ni na ni boŋ taŋ boro kaŋ ga bisa kulu se, hala ni kaaruwatara* baa gumo.

²⁶You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

²⁶ Ni zina mo da Misira borey, danga ni gorokasin binikomey nooya. Ni naŋ ni kaaruwatara ma baa mo zama ni ma yanje ceeci ay gaa.

²⁷See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

²⁷ Woodin sabbay se no ay n'ay kamba salle ka gaaba nda nin. Ay na ni laabo zabu. Ay na ni nooyandi ni ibarey se i ma ngey ibaay te, sanda Filistancey ize wayey nooya, borey kaŋ yaŋ haaw ni goy yaamey sabbay se.

²⁸You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.

²⁸ Ni na kaaruwataray te mo da Assiriyancey, zama ni biniya mana ni wasa. Oho, ni na kaaruwataray te d'ey, kulu nda yaadin ni mana ne a wasa.

²⁹You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.

²⁹ Hala nda Kaldancey mo, laabo kaŋ ga day da neera te. Noodin no ni konda ni kaaruwatara ka naŋ a ma baa, kulu nda yaadin ni mana ne a wasa.

³⁰How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

³⁰ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ni daa sinda gaabi! za kaŋ ni ga woodin yaŋ kulu te, nin wayboro kaaruwa donda-caray-koy,

³¹in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

³¹ za kaŋ ni goono ga ni tooru fuwey cina batama fo kulu ra, ni na cinari kuuku yaŋ cina mo fondo lokotey kulu gaa. Day manti kaaruwa daa no ni goono ga cabe bo, kaŋ ni goono ga donda sufuray nooru.

³²A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!

³² Nin, wayboro kurnyekoy kaŋ go ga zina, kaŋ ga yawyaŋ sambu ni kurnyo gurbi ra!

³³They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

³³ Alborey doona ka nooyaŋ no kaaruwey kulu se, amma nin wo, nin no ga ni nooyaŋey no ni arey kulu se. Ni g'i no suuji, zama i ma kaa ni do ka fun nangu kulu, araŋ ma zina te se.

³⁴You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

³⁴ Ni daa ga waana wayboro cindey waney kaaruwataray goy ra, za kaŋ alboro si no kaŋ ga ni ceeci zina se. Ni wo, ni siino ga te wo kaŋ ga saba fonda din boŋ, za kaŋ i siino ga ni no sufuray nooru, day nin no go g'i no.

³⁵Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:

³⁵ Ni binde, ya nin, kaaruwa, ma maa Rabbi sanno.

³⁶Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

³⁶ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ni kazaamatara kaŋ ni gusam parkatay sabbay se, da ni gaahamo gundo kaŋ ni feeri borey kaŋ yaŋ go ga ni ceeci zina kaŋ ni ga te d'ey din do, da ni toorey kaŋ ga ti fanta harey kulu, da ni izey kaŋ ni no i se din, d'i kurey alhakku sabbay se:

³⁷therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

³⁷ woodin yaŋ sabbay se a go, ay mo, kal ay ma ni baakoy kulu margu, ngey kaŋ yaŋ banda ni na ndunnya kaani ŋwa, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ ni ga ba kulu, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ ni si ba kulu. Ay g'i margu ni gaa. I ma ni windi, ay ga ni gaa-koono feeri i se zama i ma di ni jallo taray kwaaray.

³⁸I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

³⁸ Ay ga ni ciiti mo, sanda wo kaŋ dumi i ga te wayborey kaŋ na ngey hiijay amaana halaci yaŋ din se, da wo kaŋ i ga te boro-wi se. Ay ga futay da canse kuri alhakku candi ka kande ni gaa.

³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

³⁹ Ay ga ni daŋ mo ni arey kambe ra. I ga ni tooru fuwey zeeri, i ga ni cinari kuukey bagu-bagu, i ga ni kaa koonu, i ga ni taalam hari hanney kom ni gaa, i ga fay da nin gaa-koonu mo, bankaaray si.

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

⁴⁰ Boro jama ga margu ni gaa, i ga ni catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ _kala ni ma bu|_, i ga ni pati-pati nda ngey takubey.

⁴¹They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

⁴¹ I ga ni windey ton da danji, i ga ciiti toonandi ni se, wayboro boobo go ga di. Ay ga naŋ mo ni ma fay da kaaruwataray goy, ni si ye ka sufuray nooru no ni arey se koyne.

⁴²So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴² Woodin gaa no ay ga daŋ ay futa kaŋ ay te ni se din ma zumbu, ay cansa mo ma fay da nin. Ay ga fulanzam, ay si ye ka futu koyne.

⁴³Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

⁴³ Za kaŋ ni mana fongu ni zankataray jirbey gaa, amma ni n'ay futandi harey din kulu ra, woodin sabbay se, a go, ay ga ni goyo alhakko bana ni gaa, zama ni ma si ye ka sara ka tonton ni fanta hari cindey kulu gaa. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

⁴⁴Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁴ A go, yaasaykoy kulu ga yaasay woone te ni boŋ ka ne: «Sanda mate kaŋ cine nyaŋo go, yaadin no ize wayo mo go.»

⁴⁵You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁵ Ni ya ni nyaŋo ize way no, kaŋ na nga kurnyo da nga izey fanta. Ni mo, ni nyaŋo izey nya-ize no, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na ngey kurnyey da ngey izey fanta. Ni nya ya Hittance no, ni baaba mo Amorance no.

⁴⁶Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁶ Ni beere waybora no ga ti Samariya, kaŋ goro ni se azawa kambe haray doŋ, nga nda nga ize wayey. Ni kayne waybora mo, kaŋ goro ni se dandi kambe haray doŋ, Saduma* nda nga ize wayey no.

⁴⁷Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing , you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

⁴⁷ Amma manti i muraadey fondey hinne no ni wo goono ga gana bo, hala ni ma goy i fanta harey dumi boŋ. Danga day woodin hay fo kayna no nda cimi, ni bisa i kulu goy yaamo ni muraadey kulu ra.

⁴⁸As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

⁴⁸ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ze d'ay fundo, ni kayne Saduma da nga ize wayey mana ni teerey wo cine te, nin da ni ize wayey.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁴⁹ Guna, ni kayne Saduma laala neeya: boŋbeeray da ŋwa ka kunguyaŋ goray, da ndunnya kaani ŋwaari no ka bara a gaa, nga nda nga ize wayey kulu. A mana nga talkey da nga alfukaarey kambe gaabandi mo.

⁵⁰They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵⁰ Boŋbeeray da fanta goy no i cabe ay se. Woodin sabbay se no, waato kaŋ ay na laakal ye i gaa, ay n'i tuusu.

⁵¹Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

⁵¹ Baa Samariya mana ni zunubey jara cine te, amma ni naŋ ni fanta harey ma baa gumo ka bisa a waney gaa, hala ni nya-izey kulu hima i ga hanan d'i n'i kar ni gaa, ni fanta goyey kulu kaŋ ni te din sabbay se.

⁵²You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

⁵² Ni mo, kala ni ma ni haawo jare, za kaŋ ni naŋ ni nya-izey ciito ma si to ni wano, mate kaŋ cine ni zunubey kaŋ ni goy bisa i waney fanta hari, ngey mo bisa nin adilitaray. Oho, kala ni ma haaw, ma di kayna, za kaŋ ni nya-izey hima i ga hanan d'i n'i kar ni gaa.

⁵³I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;

⁵³ Ay ga ye ka kand'ey i ma fun ngey tamtara do, sanda Saduma nda nga ize wayey tamtara, da Samariya nda nga ize wayey tamtara nooya, da ni bumbo din wane tamtara i banda.

⁵⁴that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

⁵⁴ Zama ni ma di kayna. Hay kulu kaŋ ni te, ni m'a haawo jare, ni yalu mo ma bare, za day kaŋ ni ciya i se bine gaabandiyaŋ hari.

⁵⁵Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁵ Ni nya-izey mo, Saduma nda nga ize wayey ga ye ka kaa ngey waato kayyaŋ nangu zeena ra. Samariya da nga ize wayey mo ga ye ka kaa ngey waato kayyaŋ nangu zeena ra. Ni mo, nin da ni ize wayey ga ye ka kaa araŋ waato kayyaŋ nangu zeena ra.

⁵⁶For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

⁵⁶ Zama ni boŋbeera jirbey ra ni mana ni kayno Saduma maa ce

⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

⁵⁷ za waato kaŋ i mana ni laala fisi ka kaa taray. Ni wane wowo waate neeya kaŋ Edom Suriya ize wayey da ngey kaŋ yaŋ g'a windi kulu ga te ni se, sanda Filistancey ize wayey kaŋ donda nin ni windanta kulu nooya.

⁵⁸You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.

⁵⁸ Ni na ni goy yaamey da ni fanta harey alhakko sambu nooya. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁵⁹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁵⁹ Zama yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ni goyo boŋ no ay ga te ni se, nin kaŋ donda zeyaŋ, za kaŋ ni na sappa tunandi.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

⁶⁰ Kulu nda yaadin, ay ga fongu ay sappa kaŋ ay te da nin za ni zankatara jirbey ra, ay ga alkawli kaŋ ga duumi tabbatandi mo ni se.

⁶¹Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

⁶¹ Waati din gaa no ni ga fongu ni muraadey gaa, ni ma haaw, waati kaŋ cine ni na ni nya-izey ta, ni beere da ni kayne wayborey. Ay ga ni no nd'ey mo i ma ciya ni izeyaŋ, amma manti ni sappa boŋ bo.

⁶²I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;

⁶² Ay g'ay alkawlo tabbatandi in da nin game ra. Ni ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi,

⁶³that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁶³ zama ni ma fongu, ni ma haaw mo. Ni ma si ye ka ni me feeri ni kaynayaŋo sabbay se, d'ay ban ka ni yaafa nda hay kulu kaŋ ni te. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
