¹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹ Rabbi sanno ye ka kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

²Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

² Boro izo, ma ni moyduma ye Israyla tondi kuukey do haray, ka annabitaray te ka gaaba nda tondey.

³and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

³ Ma ne: Ya araŋ, Israyla tondi kuukey, wa maa Rabbi, Koy Beero sanno! Ya-cine no Rabbi, Koy Beero go ga ci tondi kuukey, da tudey, da tudey game batamey, da goorey se, a ne: Wa guna, ay no, ay bumbo ga takuba candi ka kande araŋ gaa, ay g'araŋ tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey halaci mo.

⁴Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

⁴ Araŋ sargay* feemey ga ciya kurmuyaŋ, i g'araŋ wayna himandey bagu-bagu, ay m'araŋ borey kaŋ i wi soote ganda araŋ toorey jine.

⁵I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

⁵ Ay ga Israyla ize buukoy sasare ngey toorey jine, ay g'araŋ biriyey say-say nangu kulu araŋ sargay feemey do haray.

⁶In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

⁶ Nangu kulu kaŋ araŋ goono ga goro, galley ga ye ka ciya kurmuyaŋ. I ga fay d'i tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey kurmu, zama i m'araŋ feemey ciya kurmuyaŋ, i ma goro koonu. I m'araŋ toorey bagu-bagu kal i ma ban, i m'araŋ wayno himandey beeri-beeri. Goyey kaŋ araŋ te mo, i ma tuusu parkatak.

⁷The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁷ Borey kaŋ yaŋ i wi ga soobay ka kaŋ araŋ bindi ra, araŋ ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.

⁸Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.

⁸ Kulu nda yaadin, ay ga jare cindo naŋ, za kaŋ araŋ ra afooyaŋ ga du ka takuba yana ka koy dumi cindey ra, waati kaŋ cine ay n'araŋ say-say ndunnya laabey ra.

⁹Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

⁹ Araŋ ra borey kaŋ yana mo ga ye ka fongu ay gaa nangey kaŋ i kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray dumi cindey ra. I ga fongu mate kaŋ cine ay bina ceeri ngey gaa, i biney kaŋ ga ba zina sabbay se, mate kaŋ i biney fay d'ay d'a. I moy mo koyne, mate kaŋ i doona ka zina boobo te d'ey, sanda i toorey ganayaŋey nooya. I ga ngey boŋ fanta, waati kaŋ i ga laala kaŋ i te ngey fanta harey kulu ra din guna.

¹⁰They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

¹⁰ Gaa no i ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi. Manti haw ra no ay salaŋ kaŋ ay ne ay ga masiiba din kulu te i se bo.

¹¹Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

¹¹ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Kar ni kamba, ni ca kar ganda ka ne: Kaari Israyla dumo fanta hari laaley kulu sabbay se! Zama takuba da haray da balaaw g'i zeeri.

¹²He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.

¹² Nangu mooray waney, balaaw g'i wi, nangu maanay waney mo, takuba g'i wi. Ngey kaŋ cindi kaŋ wongo daŋ game mo, haray g'i wi. Yaadin cine no ay g'ay futa goyo ban d'a i boŋ.

¹³You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

¹³ Araŋ ga bay kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi, waati kaŋ cine borey kaŋ yaŋ i wi go ngey toorey game ra ga ngey feemey windi tudu kuuku kulu boŋ, da tondey kulu yollo gaa, da tuuri kaŋ gonda bi kulu cire, da shen* nya beeri kulu cire mo. Sanda, nangey kulu kaŋ ra i na haŋ kaŋ haw ga kaan salle ngey toorey kulu se nooya.

¹⁴I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁴ Ay ga kambe sambu i gaa, ya laabo ciya koonu nda kurmu, kal a ma bisa Dibla haray saajo gaa, nangu kulu kaŋ i go da goray. I ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.
