1For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
1 Zama guna, Rabbi Irikoy Kundeykoyo ga deyaŋ hari nda haŋ kaŋ gaa boro ga jeeri ta Urusalima nda Yahuda gaa, Danga ŋwaari gaa deyaŋ hari, Da hari kaŋ ga haŋ gaa deyaŋ hari,
2the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
2 Wongaari, da wongu nya, da ciitiko, da annabi*, da gunako, da dottijo zeeno,
3the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
3 da boro waygu jine boro, da boro kaŋ gonda darza, Da saawareko, da kambe goy gonitaraykoy, Da dobo ra gonitaraykoy -- a g'i kulu kaa nooya.
4I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.
4 Koyne, ay g'i no arwasuyaŋ i ma ciya i mayraykoyyaŋ, Zankey mo g'i may.
5The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
5 Talkey ga care kankam, Afo kulu ga nga gorokasin kankam. Zanka kayna ga mo-koogay cabe albeeri se, Yaadin mo no kayna boro ga cabe darzakoy se.
6Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”
6 Waati kaŋ boro ga nga nya-izo di ngey baabo windo ra ka ne a se: «Za kaŋ ni gonda kwaay, ni ma ciya iri mayko. Kurmu wo mo, a ma ye ni mayra cire.»
7In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”
7 Kal han din hane a ma nga jinda sambu ka ne: «Ay si ciya nango cinako, Zama ay windo ra sinda ŋwaari wala taafe. Araŋ ma s'ay ciya iri dumo se mayko.»
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
8 Zama Urusalima kati, Yahuda mo kaŋ, Zama i sanney d'i te-goyey goono ga gaaba nda Rabbi ka yanje ceeci a darza jine.
9The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
9 Borey moydumey alhaalo goono ga seeda ka gaaba nda ngey boŋ. I go ga ngey zunubey cabe sanda Saduma cine, I siino g'a tugu. Kaari ngey! zama i na hasaraw te ngey boŋ se.
10Tell the righteous “Good!” For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
10 Wa ne adilante* se kaŋ kaani no a ga maa, Zama a ga nga goyo nafa ŋwa.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.
11 Kaari laalakoy! A ga taabi haŋ, Zama a kambe goyo no i ga bana a se.
12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
12 Zankayaŋ no go g'ay jama kankam, Wayboroyaŋ mo no goono g'i may. Ya ay jama, ni jine candikoy goono ga ni darandi no, I goono mo ga ni fondey wi ni jine.
13Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.
13 Rabbi tun ka kay, a go ga kande nga sanni, A go ga kay zama nga ma jamayaŋ ciiti.
14Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
14 Rabbi ga konda nga jama arkusey d'i mayraykoyey ciito do. A ga ne: Araŋ no ka reyzin kalo ŋwa ka ban, Talkey arzakey go araŋ windey ra.
15What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
15 Man gaa sabaabo kaŋ se araŋ goono g'ay borey kankam, Araŋ goono ga talkey moydumey ziiri ganda nda gaabi mo? Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
16Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
16 Rabbi ye ka ne koyne: Za kaŋ Sihiyona ize wayey goono ga boŋ jare, I goono ga dira ka ngey jindey salle, i goono ga mo kar, I goono ga dira ka zankam ngey dirawey ra, I goono ga londiyaŋ yooje da ngey cey --
17therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”
17 Woodin sabbay se no Koy Beero ga Sihiyona ize wayey boŋ bindey kar da kor-kor, Rabbi g'i boŋey tali.
18In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
18 A binde, han din hane Koy Beero g'i ce guuru taalamey hibandi, da wayna himandey, da handu himandey,
19the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
19 da hanga korbayey, da kambe guurey, da mosorey,
20the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
20 da adiikoy, da ce jinde taalamey, da taalam guddamey, da waddi kolbey, da gurumey,
21the signet rings, the nose rings,
21 da kambe korbayey, da niine ra batey,
22the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
22 da taalam bankaaray, da kwaayey, da daabirey, da albayey,
23the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
23 da dijey, da mukuru baaney, da boŋtobayey, da bangumey.
24It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
24 A ga ciya mo, waddi haw kaana din nango ra ga ciya fumbi, Taalam guddama nango ra ga ciya korfo, Turuyaŋ nango ra kala boŋ tali, Zaara kaŋ ga haw gande gaa nango ra mo, Kala bufu zaara hawyaŋ. Booro nango ra mo, kala danji jeeriyaŋ.
25Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
25 Ni alborey, takuba g'i zeeri, Ni yaarukomey mo ga bu wongu ra.
26Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
26 Kwaara birni meyey mo ga hẽ da bu baray hẽeni. Urusalima ga goro ganda laabo ra, hay kulu si a se.
