¹It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹ Jiiri way cindi hinkanta ra, a handu way cindi hinkanta zaari sintina, kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:

²Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.

² Boro izo, ma bu baray te Misira bonkoono Firawna boŋ, ka ne a se: I na ni deedandi nda muusu beeri ize ndunnya dumey ra, Da ham beeri kaŋ go teekoy ra mo. Ni ga bagu ka fatta ni isey ra, Ni ga harey butugu nda ni cey, Ni g'i isey ziibandi mo.

³Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.

³ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Ay g'ay taaro salle ka ni daabu nd'a, Ndunnya dumey ra jama boobo care banda, I ga ni candi mo ka kande ay taaro ra.

⁴I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.

⁴ Ay ga fay da nin mo taray. Ya ni furu saajo batama ra, Ya naŋ beene curey kulu ma zumbu ni boŋ, Ya ndunnya hamey kulu kungandi nda nin mo.

⁵I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

⁵ Ay ma ni hamo daaru tondi kuukey boŋ, Ya goorey toonandi nda ni ham fumba.

⁶I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.

⁶ Ay ga laabo tayandi, Nango kaŋ ni goono ga zi ni kuro ra, Kal a ma koy tondi kuukey gaa. Hari zuru fondey mo ga to nda nin.

⁷When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

⁷ Waato kaŋ ay na ni danjo wi, ay ga beena daabu, Ya handariyayzey bare ka ciya kubay, Ya wayna daabu nda buru, Hando mo si nga kaaro no.

⁸All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.

⁸ Ay ga beene annurey kulu kaŋ ga nyaale bare ka ciya kubay ni boŋ, Ya naŋ ni laabo ma te kubay. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

⁹I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

⁹ Ay ga ndunnya dumi boobo biney kankam, Waati kaŋ cine ay konda ni halaciyaŋo baaru ndunnya dumey game ra, Hala nda laabuyaŋ kaŋ ni mana bay baa ce fo.

¹⁰Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

¹⁰ Haciika, ay ga naŋ ndunnya dumi boobo ma joote ni sabbay se. I bonkooney mo ga humburu gumo ni sabbay se, Waati kaŋ cine i di ay go g'ay takuba feeni ngey jine. I ga soobay ka jijiri saaya kulu, Boro fo kulu gaahamo ga jijiri nga fundo sabbay se, Ni kaŋyaŋo hane.

¹¹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.

¹¹ Zama Babila bonkoono takuba ga kaŋ ni boŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

¹²By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

¹² Hinkoyey takubey no ay ga naŋ i ma ni jama zeeri nd'ey, I kulu ndunnya dumey koyyaŋ no kaŋ ga humburandi. I ga Misira boŋbeera hasara, a jama kulu mo ga halaci.

¹³I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.

¹³ Ay g'a almaney kulu halaci mo, Wo kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro hari boobey meyey gaa. Boro ce si no, alman ce kobsi mo si no kaŋ g'i butugu.

¹⁴Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴ Waato din gaa no ay ga naŋ i harey ma te tisiyu. I isey ma zuru _nda albarka|_ sanda ji cine. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

¹⁵When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁵ Waato kaŋ ay na Misira laabo ciya kurmu, Laabu kaŋ jaŋ hay kulu kaŋ a goro nd'a waato, Waato kaŋ ay na boro kulu kaŋ go ga goro a ra kar, Waati din no i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.

¹⁶This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁶ Bu baray nooya kaŋ i g'a te dooni, yaadin no ndunnya dumey izey wayey ga bu baray te d'a. Misira, hala nd'a jama kulu se mo i ga bu bara din te. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

¹⁷It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁷ I go no, jiiri way cindi hinkanta ra, hando jirbi way cindi guwanta hane no, Rabbi sanno ye ka kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

¹⁸Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.

¹⁸ Boro izo, ma baray Misira jama marga se. M'a zumandi, nga nda ndunnya dumi darzakoyey ize wayey, i ma koy Alaahara, ngey nda borey kaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra care banda.

¹⁹Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

¹⁹ May no ni boori nd'a? Soobay ka zulli! Ni ga kani borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ banda.

²⁰They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.

²⁰ Borey kaŋ i ga wi da takuba din ra no i ga kaŋ. I na takuba waadu a se, i m'a ku mo, nga nda nga jama marga.

²¹The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

²¹ Hinkoyey ra gaabikooney ga Misira nda nga amaana borey sanni te kaŋ ga fun Alaahara bindo ra. I ga ne: «I kaŋ! I kani siw! ngey kaŋ yaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ takuba wi din.»

²²Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;

²² Assiriya go noodin, nga nda nga jama kulu, a saarayey n'a windi. Borey kaŋ bu kulu, takuba no k'i zeeri.

²³whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

²³ I saarayey go hala guuso daba bananta. A jama mo go g'a saara windi, ngey kaŋ bu kulu, takuba no k'i zeeri, ngey kaŋ na borey humburandi fundikooney laabo ra nooya.

²⁴There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.

²⁴ Elam go noodin, nga nda nga jama kulu, i go g'a saara windi. Borey kaŋ bu kulu, takuba no k'i zeeri. I koy Alaahara dambanguyaŋ si, ngey kaŋ ga humburandi waato fundikooney laabo ra. I haawo go i gaa ga jare ga koy, ngey nda guuso ra zulliko cindey care banda.

²⁵They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.

²⁵ I na daari daaru a se borey kaŋ i wi din game ra, nga nda nga jama kulu. I saarayey go a windanta, i kulu sinda dambanguyaŋ, borey kaŋ takuba zeeri nooya, (baa kaŋ i ciya humburkumay hari yaŋ fundikooney laabo ra). I na ngey haawo jare, ngey nda borey kaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra care banda. I n'i daŋ borey kaŋ i wi din game ra.

²⁶There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are around them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.

²⁶ Mesek da Tubal da ngey jama marga kulu go noodin, i saarayey go g'i windi. I toonando kulu kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ no. Takuba n'i zeeri, baa kaŋ i ciya humburkumay hariyaŋ fundikooney laabo ra.

²⁷They shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

²⁷ I si kani doŋ hinkoyey banda, borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ din do haray, ngey kaŋ zulli ka koy Alaahara nda ngey wongu jinayey care banda. I na ngey takubey jisi ngey boŋ cire, amma i laala alhakko go i biriyey boŋ, baa kaŋ yaarukomey din ciya humburkumay hariyaŋ fundikooney laabo ra.

²⁸But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.

²⁸ Amma nin wo, Firawna, i ga ni ceeri no borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ bindi ra. Ni ga kani borey kaŋ takuba zeeri din banda.

²⁹There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.

²⁹ Edom mo go noodin, a koyey d'a mayraykoyey kulu, da ngey hin kulu. I n'i jisi no borey kaŋ takuba zeeri din banda. I ga kani, ngey nda borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ care banda, da ngey mo kaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra.

³⁰There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

³⁰ Azawa kambe haray koyey kulu mo go noodin, da Zidonancey kulu, kaŋ yaŋ zulli haawi ra borey kaŋ i wi din banda, hala nda ngey humburandiyaŋo kaŋ i cabe ngey hino do. Borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ no, i go ga kani, ngey da ngey kaŋ takuba zeeri care banda. I haawo go i se ga jare, ngey nda borey kaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra care banda.

³¹Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

³¹ Firawna ga di ey. A ga du yaamaryaŋ nga jama kulu kaŋ takuba zeeri din sabbay se -- Firawna nda nga marga kulu nooya. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.

³²For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.

³² Zama baa kaŋ ay n'a ciya humburkumay hari fundikooney laabo ra, kulu nda yaadin ay g'a kanandi borey kaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ bindo ra, nga nda ngey kaŋ takuba zeeri din care banda, sanda Firawna nda nga jama kulu nooya. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
