Isaiah

23

1The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
1 Tir boŋ sanni neeya: Ya araŋ Tarsis hiyey, wa kaati! Zama i na Tir kwaara zeeri kala windi kulu mana cindi, Do-me mo si no. I fun da baaro din Kubrus laabu ka kand'a Tir se.
2Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
2 Wa dangay, ya araŋ teeko me gaa gorokoy. Zidon fatawc'izey kaŋ yaŋ na teeko daŋandi. I na araŋ toonandi waato.
3On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
3 I ga teeku meyey gaa casu ka kande Sihor farey da Nil isa albarka a ma ciya Sidon riiba. Nga mo ciya dumi boobo se habu.
4Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”
4 Ya Zidon, haawi ma ni di, Zama teeko go ga salaŋ, danga teeko ra wongu nangu nooya. A goono ga ne: «Ay wo, yana gunde jaraw taabi te, Yana hay, yana arwasuyaŋ biiri, Yana wandiyoyaŋ jare mo.»
5When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
5 Saaya kaŋ cine baaro ga kaa Misira, I ga jijiri Tir baaro sabbay se.
6Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
6 Wa bisa ka koy Tarsis. Araŋ kaŋ goono ga goro teeko me gaa, Araŋ ma wurru.
7Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
7 Araŋ gallo kaŋ gonda bine kaani, nga nooya, wala? Wo kaŋ a kaajo sintin za doŋ zamaney ra no. Nga no kaŋ a cey kond'a nangu mooro hal a ma ciya ce-yaw noodin, wala?
8Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
8 May no ka Tir waadu nda woodin? Nga kaŋ ga koytarayyaŋ zaban, Nga kaŋ a fatawc'izey ya bonkooniyaŋ no. A day da neera teekoy mo ndunnya boro beeriyaŋ no.
9Yahweh of Armies has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
9 Rabbi Kundeykoyo no k'a waadu, Zama nga ma boŋbeeray darza kulu ziibandi, A ma donda-caray candi ka kande ndunnya beeraykoyey kulu boŋ.
10Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
10 Ya Tarsis ize wayo, Ma gana ka bisa ni laabo ra sanda Nil isa cine. Kosaray hari kulu mana cindi ni se sohõ.
11He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Yahweh has ordered the destruction of Canaan’s strongholds.
11 Rabbi na nga kamba salle teeko boŋ, A na koytarayyaŋ zinji. Rabbi na lordi te Kanaana boŋ ka ne a wongu fuwey ma halaci.
12He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will have no rest.”
12 A ne koyne: «Ya nin wandiya kaŋ di kankami gumo, Zidon ize wayo. Ni si ye ka farhã koyne. Ma tun ka daŋandi ka koy Kubrus. Baa noodin mo ni si du fulanzamay.»
13Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people was not. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.
13 Guna, Kaldancey laabo neeya, Waato ndunnya dumo din si no. Assiriyancey na Tir sinji a ma te do-me. Kaldancey mo na ngey wongu cinari kuukey sinji, I na Tir faadey kaa koonu k'a ciya kurmu.
14Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
14 Ya araŋ Tarsis hiyey, wa kaati! Zama araŋ wongu fuwo halaci!
15It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
15 A ga ciya mo, han din hane borey ga dinya Tir gaa kal a ma to jiiri wayye, kaŋ ga saba nda bonkooni folloŋ aloomar. Jiiri wayya din banda a ga ciya Tir se sanda mate kaŋ cine i ci kaaruwa doono ra, ka ne:
16Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered.
16 «Ya nin, kaaruwa kaŋ gaa borey dinya, Ma moolo sambu ka gallo bar-bare. Ma moola hamney kar da gonitaray, Ma dooni kaano boobo te zama i ma fongu ni gaa.»
17It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.
17 A ga ciya mo jiiri wayya din banda Rabbi ga Tir kunfa. Kwaara ga ye mo nga waykuuray sufuray goyo teeyaŋ ra. A ga kaaruwataray* te mo nda ndunnya mayrayey kulu kaŋ go ndunnya fando boŋ.
18Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
18 Amma a day da neera, d'a sufuray goyo, boro fo g'i fay waani Rabbi se. Arzaka si jisi, borey s'a daŋ barma mo, zama a day da neera ga ciya borey kaŋ goono ga goro Rabbi jine yaŋ din wane. I ma ŋwa ka kungu, ka bankaaray gaakurante yaŋ te mo.
