1The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land.
1 Saajo kaŋ go teeko do haray boŋ sanni neeya: Danga day dandi kambe haray hari haw bambata kaŋ ga bisa, Kaŋ ga funsu nda gaabi, Yaadin cine no wongu ga fun saajo ra d'a, A ma fun laabo kaŋ ga humburandi ra.
2A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.
2 Bangandi kaŋ ga sandi no i cabe ay se, Amaana ŋwaako goono ga amaana ŋwaari goy te. Halaciko go halaciyaŋo gaa ga te. Ya nin, Elam, ziji ka koy! Ya Mediya, ma wongu marga kayandi ka windi! Ay naŋ i bine jisiyaŋo kulu ma ban.
3Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have taken hold on me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I so am dismayed that I can’t see.
3 Woodin sabbay se no ay ankorey to da doori, Foyray n'ay di sanda wayboro kaŋ go ga hay-zaŋay cine. Ay go ga kuubi da doori, kala ay si hin ka maa sanni, Ay taabi mo kala ay si hin ka di.
4My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.
4 Ay bina goono ga fittaw, Humburkumay n'ay zeeri. Kubay-kuba kaŋ ay ga beeje nd'a, Rabbi ye k'a ciya ay se jijiriyaŋ.
5They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!
5 Babila ra i goono ga ŋwaari do soola, I goono ga tangarayaŋ daaru, I goono ga ŋwa, i goono ga haŋ. Ya araŋ wongu nyaŋey, wa tun! Wa ji tuusu korayey gaa!
6For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.
6 Zama yaa no Koy Beero ci ay se: «Ma koy ka batuko daŋ, A ma ci haŋ kaŋ nga ga di.
7When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.”
7 D'a di wongu torkoyaŋ, da bari-kariyaŋ kaŋ ga dira ihinka-hinka, Da farkayyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ go ga sasare, Da yoyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ go ga sasare. Kal a ma hanga jeeri ka laakal daŋ hal a ma boori.»
8He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.
8 Gaa no batukwa kuuwa sanda muusu beeri cine ka ne: «Ya ay Koyo, zaari ay goono ga kay batuyaŋ cinaro boŋ duumi ka batandi. Cin me-a-me ay go ne ga sinji ay batuyaŋo do.
9Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs.” He answered, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved images of her gods are broken to the ground.
9 Guna, boro fo go kaa wongu torko ra, Da bari-kari hinka-hinka.» Bora din ne: «Babila kaŋ! A kaŋ! A tooru jabantey kulu mo, Rabbi n'i bagu-bagu kala ganda.»
10You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!” That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
10 Ya araŋ kaŋ ay safa ay dubango ra, Haŋ kaŋ ay maa Rabbi Kundeykoyo Israyla Irikoyo do, Ay n'a bangandi araŋ se.
11The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
11 Edom boŋ sanni neeya: Ceyaŋ fo kaa ay do kaŋ fun Seyir ka ne: «Batukwa, man gaa cine no cino to? Batukwa, man gaa cine no cino to?»
12The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again.”
12 Batukwa mo ne: «Mo boyaŋ go kaa, Cin mo goono ga kaa. D'araŋ ga hã, wa hã, Wa bare mo ka ye ka kaa.»
13The burden on Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, you caravans of Dedanites.
13 Laarabey laabo boŋ sanni neeya: Ya araŋ Dedancey, sata kaŋ goono ga dira, Laarabey laabu saajo tuurey ra no araŋ ga zumbu.
14They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.
14 Ya araŋ Tema laabo gorokoy, boro kaŋ maa jaw, W'a kubay da hari, wa zurantey mo kubay da ŋwaari.
15For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.
15 Zama takuba se no i zuru, takuba kaŋ go foobante, Da biraw kaŋ i na haw daŋ a ra, da wongu kankami mo.
16For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,
16 Zama yaa no Koy Beero ci ay se: «Ne ka guna jiiri fo, mate kaŋ goy-ize ga goy lasaabu, Kedar darza kulu ga ban.
17and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”
17 Biraw ize cindey, Kedar ize wongaarey ga zabu ka ciya borey kaŋ si baa, zama Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo no ka woodin ci.»
