1The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
1 Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:
2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and tell them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
2 «Boro izo, ma annabitaray te Israyla hawjiyey boŋ, ma annabitaray te. Ma ne hawjiyey din se: Wa maa haŋ kaŋ Rabbi Irikoy ci. A ne: Kaari, Israyla hawjiyey! kaŋ ngey boŋ no i ga kuru. Manti a ga hagu hawjiyey ma feeji kurey kuru bo?
3You eat the fat, and you clothe yourself with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you don’t feed the sheep.
3 Araŋ goono ga inaasey ŋwa, araŋ ga bankaaray te da i hamney, araŋ ga biiriyaŋ waney wi ka ŋwa, amma araŋ si kurey kuru.
4You haven’t strengthened the diseased, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought back that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor you have ruled over them.
4 Araŋ si wo kaŋ yaŋ fam gaabandi, araŋ si doorikomey yayandi, haŋ kaŋ ceeri mo, araŋ s'a dabu. Haŋ kaŋ te boŋdaray mo, araŋ si ye ka kand'a, haŋ kaŋ daray, araŋ s'a ceeci, amma gaabi-nda-gaabi no araŋ n'i may.
5They were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
5 I kar ka say-say hawji jaŋay sabbay se. I ciya ganji ham kulu se ŋwaari hari, i say-say nooya.
6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth; and there was none who searched or sought.
6 Ay feejey te boŋdaray tondi kuukey ra nangu kulu, da tudu beerey boŋ. Oho, ay feejey say-say ndunnya fando kulu boŋ. Ceeciko si no, boro kulu si no kaŋ g'i ceeci.
7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
7 Wa maa fa, ya araŋ hawjiyey, Rabbi sanno neeya:
8As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep;
8 Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: ay ze d'ay fundo, za kaŋ ay kuro ciya wongu kuyaŋ hari, ay feejey ciya ŋwaari hari ganji hamey kulu se, zama kuruko si no se, ay hawjiyey mo mana ay feejey ceeci, amma hawjiyey soobay ka ngey boŋ kuru no, i mana ay feejey wo kuru --
9therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh:
9 wa maa fa, ya araŋ hawjiyey, wa maa Rabbi sanno!!
10Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
10 Rabbi, Koy Beero ne: A go, ay ga gaaba nda hawjiyey, i kambe ra mo no ay g'ay feejey ceeci, ay g'i daŋ i ma fay da feejey kuruyaŋ. Hawjiyey din si ye ka ngey boŋ kuru mo koyne. Ay g'ay feejey faaba ka kaa i meyey ra, ay feejey ma si ye ka ciya i ŋwaari hari koyne.»
11For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
11 Zama yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: «A go, Ay bumbo g'ay feejey ceeci, ya i ce gana mo.
12As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
12 Sanda mate kaŋ cine hawji ga nga feejey ce gana waati kaŋ a go i banda, d'i kar ka say, yaadin cine no ay mo, ay g'ay feejey ce gana. Ay g'i faaba nangey kulu ra kaŋ i n'i say ka kond'ey kubay da beene hiiriyaŋ hane.
13I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
13 Ay g'i margu ka fun d'ey ndunnya dumey ra, da laabu waani-waaney ra, k'i sambu ka kond'ey ngey laabo ra. Ay g'i kuru mo Israyla tondi kuukey boŋ, da hari zurey meyey gaa, da laabo nangey kulu kaŋ ra borey goono ga goro.
14I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.
14 Ay g'i kuru kuray nangu hanno ra, Israyla tondi kuukey boŋ no i ga kuru. Noodin mo no i ga kani kali hanno ra, nangu albarkante ra mo no i ga kuru Israyla tondey zumbanta boŋ.
15I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Ay bumbo no g'ay feejey kuru, ka kond'ey naŋ-kaniya do. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
16I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice.
16 Ay ga wo kaŋ daray ceeci, wo kaŋ i gaaray mo, ay ma ye ka kand'a. Wo kaŋ ceeri mo y'a dabu, wo kaŋ gonda doori y'a gaabandi, amma inaasey da gaabikooney, ay g'i halaci. Ciiti hanno no ay g'i kuru nd'a.
17As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
17 Araŋ binde, ya ay kuro, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: A go, ay ga ciiti dumbu feejey da care game ra, feeji gaarey da hincin jindey kulu game ra mo.
18Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?
18 Mate no? Hay fo kayna no araŋ se, kaŋ araŋ kuru kuray nangu hanna ra, hala koyne araŋ m'araŋ kuray nangu cindo taamu-taamu nd'araŋ cey? Araŋ na hari kaŋ ga hanan tisiyu haŋ, hala mo koyne wo kaŋ cindi araŋ m'a ye ka butugu nd'araŋ cey?
19As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
19 Ay feeji cindey ma wo kaŋ araŋ taamu-taamu nd'araŋ cey din ŋwa, i ma wo kaŋ araŋ n'a butugu nd'araŋ ce din haŋ, wala?
20Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
20 Rabbi, Koy Beero binde ne i se: A go, in d'ay boŋ no ga ciiti dumbu, inaasey da ifaabey game ra.
21Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;
21 Za kaŋ araŋ tuti nd'araŋ gaahamey d'araŋ jase boŋey, araŋ na londibuunay kulu tuti ka zeeri nd'araŋ hilley, hal araŋ n'i kar ka say-say --
22therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
22 woodin sabbay se kala ay m'ay kalo faaba. I si ye ka ciya wongu kuyaŋ hari koyne. Alman da alman game ra no ay ga ciito dumbu.
23I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
23 Ay ga hawji folloŋ daŋ i banda, a m'i kuru, sanda ay tamo Dawda nooya. Nga bumbo no g'i kuru, a ga ciya i hawji.
24I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
24 Ay, Rabbi mo, ay ga ciya i Irikoyo, ay tamo Dawda mo mayraykoy no i jine. Ay, Rabbi, ay no ka ci.
25I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
25 Ay ga laakal kanay alkawli te mo, in d'ey game ra. Ay ga naŋ ganji ham laaley ma ban laabo ra, zama feejey ma goro baani samay saajo ra, i ma jirbi mo saajo tuuri zugey ra.
26I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
26 Ngey nda ngey boŋ, d'ay tondo windanta nangey ra mo, ay g'i ciya albarka hari. Ay ga naŋ beene hari ma kaa nga alwaato ra, beena ga te hari, albarka wane.
27The tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
27 Farey tuurey ga hay, laabo ga nga nafa kaa taray, i ga goro baani samay ngey laabo ra mo. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, waati kaŋ ay n'i tamtaray calo ceeri, ay n'i faaba mo koyne wo kaŋ yaŋ do i go tamtaray kambe ra.
28They shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the animals of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
28 I si ye ka ciya wongu kuyaŋ hari dumi cindey din se koyne. Ganji ham mo si ye k'i ŋwa koyne, kal i ma goro baani samay. Boro fo kulu si no kaŋ g'i humburandi.
29I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more.
29 Ay ga du i se tilamyaŋ nangu albarkante. I si ye ka tonton ka halaci da haray koyne laabo ra. Dumi cindey si ye k'i wow koyne.
30They shall know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.
30 Gaa no i ga bay kaŋ ay, Rabbi ngey Irikoyo, ay go ngey banda. Ngey mo, Israyla dumo, ay boroyaŋ no. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
31You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord Yahweh.
31 Araŋ wo, ay feejey, ay kuray nango feejey, araŋ ya boroyaŋ no, ay mo no ga ti araŋ Irikoyo. Yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.»
