1“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
1 Ya araŋ, alfagey, wa maa woone. Ya araŋ, Israyla dumo, wa hangan. Ya bonkoono windo, wa hanga jeeri ka maa, Zama ciiti go kaa araŋ gaa. Zama araŋ ciya hirrimi Mizpa ra, Taaru mo kaŋ i daaru Tabor boŋ,
2The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
2 Murtantey jisi boro wiyaŋ ra, Amma ay g'i kulu gooji.
3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
3 Ay na Ifraymu bay, Israyla si ay se tugante bo. Zama sohõ, ya nin Ifraymu, ni na kaaruwataray te, Israyla na harram goy te.
4Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know Yahweh.
4 I muraadey si i naŋ i ma bare ka ye ngey Irikoyo do, Zama kaaruwataray follay go i gaa, I si Rabbi bay mo.
5The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
5 Israyla fooma mo go ga seeda a gaa. Woodin sabbay se no Israyla nda Ifraymu harta ngey taali beero do, Yahuda mo harta i banda.
6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
6 I ga konda ngey feeji kurey da ngey haw kurey ka sarga Rabbi ceeciyaŋ se, amma i s'a gar. A na nga boŋ fay d'ey.
7They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
7 I na Rabbi amaana ŋwa, zama i na zina izeyaŋ hay. Sohõ handu folloŋ ra no wongu g'i ŋwa, Hala nda i farey kulu.
8“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
8 Wa wongu hilli kar Jibeya ra, da kaakaaci mo Rama ra. Wa jinde sambu Bayt-Aben ra ka ne: «Ya Benyamin, ni banda no i go!»
9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
9 Ifraymu ga ciya kurmu deeniyaŋ zaaro ra. Israyla kunda se no ay go ga haŋ kaŋ ga tabbat bayrandi.
10The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
10 Yahuda koyey ciya danga borey kaŋ yaŋ ga hirri seeda ganandi. Ay g'ay futa gusam i boŋ danga hari cine.
11Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
11 Ifraymu maa kankami, i n'a naan ciito do haray mo, Zama a anniya nga ma boro lordi gana.
12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
12 Ay mo, ay ga ciya danga kollo Ifraymu se, Danga jombo mo Yahuda dumo se.
13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
13 Saaya kaŋ Ifraymu di nga dooro, Yahuda mo di nga biyo, Kala Ifraymu koy Assiriya ka donton Bonkoono Yareb do, Amma nga wo si hin k'araŋ no baani, A si hin k'araŋ biyey yayandi mo.
14For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
14 Zama ay ga ciya Ifraymu se danga muusu beeri cine, Danga muus'ize mo Yahuda dumo se. Ay no, oho, ay bumbo no, Ay g'i tooru-tooru ka dira. Ay g'i sambu ka kond'ey, Boro kulu si no mo kaŋ g'i kaa kambe.
15I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
15 Ay ga dira ka koy ay nango do, Hala waati kaŋ i ga yadda ka ne ngey na taali te, K'ay moyduma ceeci. I taabiyaŋo ra i g'ay ceeci da anniya.
