¹“Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh’s house, because they have broken my covenant, and rebelled against my law.

¹ Ma hilli daŋ ni meyo gaa! Ibara go ga kaa Rabbi windo gaa danga zeeban cine, Zama jama n'ay sappa daaru, i murte mo ay asariya gaa.

² I g'ay ce ka ne: «Ya ay Irikoyo, iri wo, Israyla, iri na ni bay!»

³Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.

³ Israyla na haŋ kaŋ ga boori furu, ibarey g'a gaaray mo.

⁴They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn’t approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

⁴ I na bonkooniyaŋ daŋ, amma ay si a ra. I na koy kaynayaŋ daŋ, amma ay mana bay a gaa. I na tooruyaŋ te ngey boŋ se da ngey nzarfey da ngey wurey mo, hal ay m'i halaci.

⁵Let Samaria throw out his calf idol! My anger burns against them! How long will it be until they are capable of purity?

⁵ Ya Samariya, ay wangu araŋ handayze ka ne: «Ay futa ga koroŋ borey boŋ!» Waati fo no i ga to bine hananyaŋ gaa?

⁶For this is even from Israel! The workman made it, and it is no God; indeed, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁶ Zama Israyla do no woodin fun, kambe goy-teeri mo no k'a te, Woodin binde manti Irikoy no. Daahir i ga Samariya handayzo bagu-bagu.

⁷For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

⁷ Za kaŋ i na haw kaŋ ga faaru duma, I ga beene hari haw bambata wi mo. Ntaasu jeeni si no kwaaro gaa, Kwaaro mo si te hamni. Baa a na mo daŋ, yawyaŋ no g'a gon.

⁸Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

⁸ I na Israyla gon! Sohõ i go dumi cindey game ra, Sanda sintili kaŋ boro kulu si ba r'a cine.

⁹For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.

⁹ Zama i kaaru ka koy Assiriya, Danga ganji farka kaŋ go nga fo, nga hinne. Ifraymu mo na aruyaŋ sufuray.

¹⁰But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

¹⁰ Oho, baa i na afooyaŋ sufuray dumi cindey ra, Kulu nda yaadin sohõ ay g'i margu, I ga sintin ka zabu mo bonkooni beero jarawo sabbay se.

¹¹Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they became for him altars for sinning.

¹¹ Za kaŋ Ifraymu na sargay feema boobo te zunubi se, Ngey mo, i ciya a se zunubi hari.

¹²I wrote for him the many things of my law; but they were regarded as a strange thing.

¹² Baa kaŋ ay na asariya hantum a se lordi zambar-zambar yaŋ ra, I n'i himandi danga muraadu yawyaŋ no.

¹³As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn’t accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.

¹³ Guna, ay nooyaŋ sargayey sanni, i ga ham sarga, I ga ŋwa mo, amma Rabbi si i ta. Sohõ a ga fongu i taalo gaa, K'i gurzugandi i zunubey se. I ga ye ka koy Misira mo.

¹⁴For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire on his cities, and it will devour its fortresses.”

¹⁴ Zama Israyla dinya nga Takakwa, A na bonkooni windiyaŋ cina. Yahuda mo na wongu birni boobo te. Amma ay ga danji daŋ a birney gaa kaŋ g'i jidan bisey ŋwa.
