1Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
1 Kaari, ya laabo kaŋ gonda fatayaŋ kaŋ ga yooje, Nin kaŋ go Etiyopi isey banda!
2that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
2 Ni ga ni diyey donton teeku fondey ra, I ga koy karra hiyey ra harey boŋ, ka ne: «Ya araŋ, diyey kaŋ ga waasu diraw gaa, Wa koy ndunnya dumi fo do kaŋ borey ga ku, Kaŋ kuurey ga yuttu mo. Wa koy dumi waani fo do kaŋ ga humburandi, Za nangu maaney hala nangu moorey, Ndunnya dumi gaabikooni no kaŋ ga taamu-taamu, Kaŋ isey ga gana ka bisa a laabo ra.»
3All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
3 Ya araŋ, ndunnya gorokoy kulu, Sanda araŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro laabey ra: D'i na liiliwalo tunandi beene tondi kuukey boŋ, Kulu araŋ ga di a. D'i na hilli kar mo, kulu araŋ ga maa r'a.
4For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
4 Zama yaa no Rabbi ci ay se: «Ay ga goro ay laakal gaa, Ay ga guna mo za nango kaŋ ay go, Sanda korni kaŋ ra sinda buuda wayno kaari ra, Wala mo sanda harandaŋ buuda cine heemar waate korni ra.»
5For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
5 Zama za heemar waate mana kaa, Waati kaŋ tuuri boosi baan, Booso mo ga ciya reyzin kaŋ ga sintin ka nin, Kala Rabbi ma kambe kayney pati-pati nda koomayaŋ. Kambey kaŋ yaŋ go ga feeri mo, A m'i pati ka kaa.
6They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on them.
6 Borey kulu, i g'i naŋ care banda saajo curayzey kaŋ yaŋ ga ham ŋwa se, da laabo ganji hamey mo se. Curayzey kaŋ yaŋ ga ham ŋwa ga kaydiya te i gaa, Laabo ganji hamey kulu mo ga jaw waate te i gaa.
7In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.
7 Alwaati woodin ra no i ga kande Rabbi se nooyaŋ ka fun ndunnya dumi fo do kaŋ borey ga ku, Kaŋ kuurey ga yuttu mo. Dumi waani fo no kaŋ ga humburandi za nangu maaney hala nangu moorey, Ndunnya dumi gaabikooni no kaŋ ga taamu-taamu, Kaŋ isey ga gana ka bisa a laabo ra. I ga konda nooyaŋo din naŋ kaŋ Rabbi Kundeykoyo maa go, kaŋ ga ti Sihiyona tondo.
