1The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
1 Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:
2Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Wail, Alas for the day!
2 Boro izo, ma annabitaray te ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi Irikoy ci: Wa wurru ka ne: «Kaari zaaro din se!»
3For the day is near, even the day of Yahweh is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
3 Zama zaaro maan, danga Rabbi zaaro maan nooya. A ga ciya beene hirriyaŋey han, A ga ciya dumi cindey waado alwaati.
4A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
4 Takuba ga kaa Misira gaa. Gurzugay ga bara Etiyopi ra, Waati kaŋ borey kaŋ wongu ga wi yaŋ goono ga kaŋ Misira ra, A g'a arzaka ku, a g'a dabey bagu-bagu mo.
5Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword.
5 Etiyopi, da Libi, da Ludu, da Laarabey laabo kulu, da Kub, da amaana laabo izey, takuba g'i zeeri Misira banda.
6Thus says Yahweh: They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.
6 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ngey din kaŋ goono ga Misira gaabandi, Ngey mo ga kaŋ. A hino boŋbeera ga ye ganda. Za Migdol gaa kal a ma koy Siyen gaa, I kulu ga kaŋ da takuba a ra. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
7They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
7 I ga ciya kurmuyaŋ laabey kaŋ sinda gorokoyaŋ game ra. A galley mo go galley kaŋ i bagu-bagu yaŋ game ra.
8They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
8 I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, D'ay na danji daŋ Misira gaa. A gaakoy mo, i kulu ga ceeri.
9In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.
9 Han din hane diyayaŋ ga fun ay do ka koy hiyaŋ ra zama i ma Etiyopi borey kaŋ goro baani samay ra humburandi. Gurzugay ga kaa i gaa sanda Misira zaaro cine wane. Zama nga neeya: a goono ga kaa!
10Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
10 Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga Misira borey ban Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kambe ra.
11He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
11 Nga nda nga borey care banda, Ngey kaŋ biney ga bi ka bisa dumey kulu, Ay g'i candi ka kand'ey, Zama ngey ma laabo halaci se. I ga takuba foobu ka Misira wongu, I ma laabo toonandi nda borey kaŋ i wi mo.
12I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
12 Ay ga naŋ Nil goorey ma sundu, Ya laabo neera boro laalo fooyaŋ se. Ya laabo nda haŋ kaŋ go a ra kulu ciya kurmu yawyaŋ kambe ra. Ay, Rabbi no k'a ci.
13Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
13 Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga toorey halaci, Ya naŋ mo himandi-himandey ma ban Nof ra. I si ye ka mayko fo daŋ koyne kaŋ Misira ize no. Ay ga humburkumay daŋ Misira laabo ra mo.
14I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
14 Patros mo, ay g'a ciya kurmu, Ya danji daŋ Zowan gaa, Kwaara kaŋ se i ga ne Nof mo, Ya ciiti toonandi a ra.
15I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
15 Ay g'ay futa gusam Sin boŋ, Kaŋ ci Misira wongu cinaro, Ya No kwaara jama mo alandaaba.
16I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.
16 Ya danji daŋ Misira laabo gaa. Sin ga koli foyriyaŋ ra, i ga Nof bagu, Nof mo ga di taabi han kulu.
17The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
17 Aben da Pibeset ra sahãkooney, takuba g'i zeeri, I wayborey mo ga koy tamtaray ra.
18At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
18 Tafanes ra mo, wayna ga te kubay waati kaŋ cine ay na Misira caley* ceeri noodin. A hino boŋbeera mo ga ban noodin a ra. Nga bumbo din mo, buru g'a daabu, A ize wayey mo ga koy tamtaray ra.
19Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
19 Yaadin cine no ay ga ciiti toonandi nd'a Misira gaa, I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.
20It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
20 Jiiri way cindi fa ra, a handu sintina, jirbi iyyanta hane, kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:
21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and behold, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword.
21 Boro izo, ay na Misira bonkoono Firawna kambe ceeri. A go mo, i man'a didiji a ma dabu ka te baani se, kaŋ ga naŋ a ma te gaabi kaŋ ga takuba gaay.
22Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
22 Woodin sabbay se binde, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay ga gaaba nda Misira bonkoono Firawna, ay g'a kambey ceeri-ceeri, wo kaŋ gonda baani da wo kaŋ jin ka ceeri din. Ay ma naŋ takuba ma fun a kambe ra ka kaŋ.
23I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
23 Ay ma Misirancey say-say ndunnya dumey ra, ay g'i fay-fay laabu cindey ra.
24I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
24 Zama ay ga Babila bonkoono kambey gaabandi k'ay takuba daŋ a kambe ra. Amma ay ga Firawna kambey ceeri-ceeri, zama a ma duray a jine nda durayyaŋ danga boro kaŋ gonda buuyaŋ marayyaŋ wane.
25I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.
25 Yaadin cine no ay ga Babila bonkoono kambey gaabandi nd'a, amma Firawna waney ga sooli. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, saaya kaŋ cine ay n'ay takuba daŋ Babila bonkoono kambe ra, a n'a salle mo ka gaaba nda Misira laabo.
26I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
26 Waato kaŋ ay na Misirancey say-say ndunnya dumey ra, k'i fay-fay ndunnya laabey ra, i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.
