¹“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ ‘Ammi’ in Hebrew and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’ ‘Ruhamah’ in Hebrew

¹ Kulu nda yaadin Israyla izey ga baa danga teeku me gaa taasi cine, kaŋ ga bisa neesiyaŋ wala kabuyaŋ. A ga ciya mo, nango din kaŋ i ga ne i se: «Araŋ wo manti ay jama no» -- noodin no i ga ne i se: «Irikoy fundikoono izeyaŋ.»

²Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

² I ga Yahuda izey da Israyla izey margu koyne. I ga bonkooni folloŋ suuban ngey boŋ se. I ga tun ka fun laabo ra, zama Yezreyel zaaro ga ciya ibeeri.

³Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

³ Araŋ ma ne araŋ nya-ize alborey se «Ay jama,» wa ne araŋ waymey mo se «Irikoy bakar.»

⁴Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of unfaithfulness;

⁴ Wa kakaw d'araŋ nya. W'a kakaw, za kaŋ nga wo manti ay wande no, Ay mo manti a kurnye. A ma nga kaaruwatara hibandi ka kaa nga moyduma jine, A ma fay da nga zina mo.

⁵For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

⁵ Zama ay ma s'a bankaarayey kaa a gaa k'a ciya gaa-koonu, Ay m'a ciya danga mate kaŋ a go hano kaŋ i n'a hay. Ay m'a ciya danga saaji fimbi cine mo, K'a ciya danga bulungu saaji, k'a wi da jaw.

⁶Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.

⁶ Oho, ay si bakar a izey se, Zama kaaruwataray izeyaŋ no.

⁷She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.’

⁷ Zama i nya na kaaruwataray te, Nga kaŋ n'i gunda sambu na haawi goy te. Zama a ne: «Ay ga koy ay arey banda, Borey kaŋ yaŋ goono g'ay no ay ŋwaaro d'ay haro, Ay feeji hamno nd'ay lin* hamno, Ay jiyo d'ay haŋyaŋ haro.»

⁸For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

⁸ Woodin se no ay ga karji sinkita daŋ a fonda gaa, Ay ga cinari te a gaa, Hal a ma si du ka nga fonda gana.

⁹Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

⁹ A ga nga arey gana, amma a si to r'ey. A g'i ceeci, amma a s'i gar. Waato din gaa no a ga ne: «Ay ga ye ka koy ay kurnye jina do, Zama ay waato gora bisa sohõ wano.»

¹⁰Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

¹⁰ Zama a mana bay hal ay no ka nga no ntaasu nda reyzin hari da ji. Ay n'a no nzarfu nda wura boobo, Kaŋ yaŋ borey salle Baal* tooro se.

¹¹I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

¹¹ Woodin sabbay se no, Ay ga ye k'ay ntaaso ta nga alwaato ra, D'ay reyzin haro mo nga jirbey ra. Ay g'ay feeji hamno d'ay lin haabo hamay ka kaa a gaa, Kaŋ yaŋ a na nga gaa-koono daabu nd'a.

¹²I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, ‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,’ and the animals of the field shall eat them.

¹² Gaa no ay g'a haawo kaa taray a arey jine. Boro kulu si no mo kaŋ g'a faaba ay kambe ra.

¹³I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me,” says Yahweh.

¹³ Ay ga naŋ a farhã kulu ma ban mo, Sanda a batey, d'a handu taji batey, D'a fulanzamyaŋ zaarey, d'a batu jisantey kulu nooya.

¹⁴“Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

¹⁴ A ne nga kali ra tuur'izey, ibeerey da ikayney ciine ra: «Woodin yaŋ banandi no kaŋ ay arey n'ay no.» Amma ay g'i halaci, ay m'i ciya tuuri zugey do, Ganji hamey m'i ŋwa mo.

¹⁵I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁵ Ay ga Baaley jirbey alhakko bana a gaa mo, Kaŋ yaŋ ra a na dugu ton i se. Waato kaŋ a ga nga boŋ taalam da hanga korbayyaŋ da taalam jinayyaŋ, A ga nga arey gana ka dinya ay. Yaa no Rabbi ci.

¹⁶It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’

¹⁶ Woodin sabbay se, guna, ay g'a faali k'a candi, Ka kond'a hala saajo ra. Ay ga sanni kaŋ ga bine kaanandi te a se.

¹⁷For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

¹⁷ Ay g'a no a reyzin kaley noodin. Taabi gooro mo, a ma te beeje windi me. A ga beeje ay se mo noodin, Danga a zankataray jirbey ra cine, Danga zaaro kaŋ a tun ka fun Misira laabo ra din cine.

¹⁸In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

¹⁸ Rabbi ne: «A ga ciya mo, waato din, Ni ga ne ay se ni kurnye. Ni si ye ka ne ay se ni jine bora koyne.

¹⁹I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

¹⁹ Zama ay ga Baaley maayey sambu ka kaa a meyo ra, Borey si ye k'i maayey ce mo koyne.

²⁰I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

²⁰ Han din hane no ay ga alkawli sambu i se, Ngey da ganji hamey da beene curayzey, da fanakey mo se. Ay ga biraw da takuba pati. Wongu mo ma ban laabo ra, Ay m'i kanandi baani samay mo.

²¹It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

²¹ Ay ga hiijay hawyaŋ alkawli sambu ni se, hal abada wane. Oho, adilitaray da cimi ciiti, Da gomni, da bakaraw ra no ay ga alkawli sambu ni se.

²²and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

²² Ay ga hiijay alkawli sambu ni se naanay boŋ, Waato din gaa no ni ga Rabbi bay.

²³I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’”

²³ A ga ciya mo han din hane, ay ga tu. Yaa no Rabbi ci. Ay ga naŋ hari ma fun beene, nga mo ga ganda far,

²⁴ Farey mo ga ntaaso nda reyzin hari da ji kaa taray, Yaadin cine no i ga tu d'a Irikoy dumaro se.

²⁵ Ay ga Israyla duma ay boŋ se laabo ra. Nga kaŋ mana du bakaraw mo, ay ga bakar a se. Borey kaŋ yaŋ manti ay jama, ay ga ne i se: ‹Araŋ wo ay jama no!› Ngey mo ga ne: ‹Ni ya iri Irikoyo no!› »
