1You, son of man, take a sharp sword; You shall take it as a barber’s razor to you, and shall cause it to pass on your head and on your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
1 Ni mo, boro izo, ma takuba kaŋ ga kaan sambu, a ma kaan sanda wanzam siini cine. Nga no ni ga sambu ka ni boŋo da ni kaaba cabu nd'a. Waato gaa ni ma tiŋay neesiyaŋ hari sambu, ma ni boŋ hamno fay ihinza.
2A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
2 Kanandi fa ni g'a ton danji ra gallo bindi ra, waati kaŋ cine gallo windi ka daŋ wongu bindo ra yaŋ jirbey ban. Kanandi fa mo ni g'a sambu k'a kar da takuba nangu kulu gallo windanta. Kanandi fa mo ni g'a say-say hawo ra, ay mo, ay ga takuba candi ka gallo borey gana.
3You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
3 Ni ga ikayniyo fooyaŋ kaa i ra, k'i kunsum ni kwaayo gaa.
4Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
4 Hala hõ woodin yaŋ mo, ni ga kaa i ra ka catu danji ra, i ma ton danji ra. Woodin ra mo danji ga fatta ka say Israyla dumo kulu ra.
5Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are around her.
5 Sanni kaŋ Rabbi, Koy Beero ci neeya: Misa din ya Urusalima no. Ay n'a daŋ ndunnya dumey bindo da ndunnya laabey kaŋ go g'a windi bindo ra.
6She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
6 A murte mo ay farilley gaa da laala kaŋ bisa ndunnya dumi cindey kulu wane. A murte ay hin sanney gaa mo ka bisa laabey kulu kaŋ goono g'a windi. Zama i wangu ay farilley, ay hin sanney mo, i mana i gana.
7Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you are turbulent more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
7 Woodin se binde, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Za kaŋ araŋ jaase ndunnya dumey kaŋ go araŋ windanta ay gaa murteyaŋ, araŋ mana ay hin sanney gana, araŋ mana haggoy mo d'ay farilley, baa ndunnya dumey kaŋ yaŋ go araŋ windante, araŋ man'i farilley te.
8therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
8 Woodin se no Rabbi, Koy Beero ne: Guna, kal ay bumbo, ay ma gaaba nda nin, ay ma ciiti te ni bindo ra kaŋ ndunnya dumey ga di.
9I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
9 Ni ra mo no ay ga hay fo te kaŋ yana te baa ce fo, haŋ kaŋ ay si ye k'a dumi te mo koyne, ni fanta harey kulu sabbay se.
10Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.
10 Woodin sabbay se no baabey kaŋ go ni ra ga ngey izey hamey ŋwa, izey mo ga ngey baabey wano ŋwa. Ay ga ciiti te ni ra, ay ga ni waney kaŋ cindi kulu say-say i ma koy haw kulu ra!
11Therefore as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
11 Rabbi, Koy Beero ne: Ay ze d'ay fundo, haciika, za kaŋ ni n'ay nangu hanna ziibandi da ni tooru muraadey da ni fanta harey kulu, woodin sabbay se ay mo, kal ay ma zabu ni gaa. Ay si ni guna nda bakaraw, ay si dogonandi ni se mo baa kayna.
12A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part shall fall by the sword around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
12 Ni wane farsimi hinzanta ga bu balaaw ra, wala haray m'i ban ni bindo ra. Farsimi hinzanta fo mo, takuba g'i zeeri nangu kulu ni windanta. Farsimi hinzanta fa mo, ay g'a say-say haw kulu ra, ya takuba foobu mo k'i gana nangu kulu.
13Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
13 Yaadin cine no ay g'ay futa goyo kubandi nd'a, ay futay korna ma yay i se, ya maa daama mo ay bina ra. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay, Rabbi, ay salaŋ ay cansa ra, waati kaŋ ay n'ay futa goyo ban i boŋ.
14Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
14 Ay ga ni ciya kurmu nda taali dakeyaŋ do mo ndunnya dumey kaŋ go ni windanta game ra. Boro kulu kaŋ bisa ga di woodin.
15So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; (I, Yahweh, have spoken it;)
15 Yaadin cine no a ga ciya wowi hari, da donda-caray hari, da cabeyaŋ hari, da dambara hari mo ndunnya dumey kaŋ go ni windanta se, waati kaŋ ay na ciiti toonandi ni se, bine tunay, da futay korno, da kaseetiyaŋ korno ra. Ay, Rabbi no ka ci.
16when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;
16 Waati kaŋ cine ay na haray hangaw laaley din samba i se, kaŋ ga kande halaciyaŋ, kaŋ ay ga samba zama ay m'araŋ halaci, kala ya haray tonton araŋ gaa mo, hala mo zaati ay ga ŋwaaro kaŋ gaa i ga de din kaa i cire.
17and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
17 Ay ga haray da ganji ham yaŋ kaŋ ga futu samba araŋ gaa, i g'araŋ mursandi nda izeyaŋ mo. Balaaw da kuri munyaŋ ga ni kwaara fondey gana, ay ga takuba candi mo ka kande ni gaa. Ay, Rabbi no ka ci.
