1Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!
1 Kaari borey din kaŋ yaŋ ga dira ka koy Misira gaakasinay ceeciyaŋ se! I goono ga jeeri bariyaŋ gaa. I goono ga naanay wongu torkoyaŋ gaa i baayaŋo sabbay se, Da bari-karey mo gaa zama i gonda gaabi gumo. Amma i mana mo sinji Israyla wane Hananyankoyo gaa, I mana Rabbi ceeci mo.
2Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
2 Nga ya laakalkooni no, A ga masiiba candi ka kande mo. A si nga sanno tunandi bo, Amma a ga tun ka gaaba nda laala goy-teerey nda ngey dumo. A ga gaaba mo nda taali goy-teerey gaakasina.
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
3 Misirancey wo boroyaŋ no, i manti Irikoy bo. I bariyey mo hamyaŋ no, manti biyayaŋ no. A binde, saaya kaŋ cine Rabbi ga nga kambe salle, Gaakasinaykoyo ga kati, Gaakasinay taakwa mo ga kaŋ. I kulu ga halaci no care banda.
4For thus says Yahweh to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
4 Zama yaa no Rabbi ci ay se: «Sanda mate kaŋ cine muusu beeri wala muusu ize ga dundu nga duura boŋ d'i na kuruko marga ce a gaa, I jinda s'a humburandi, a si gartu mo i kosongo se. Yaadin cine no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ga zumbu nd'a Sihiyona tondo boŋ, d'a tudo boŋ mo, Zama nga ma wongu te.
5As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
5 Sanda curayzeyaŋ kaŋ ga deesi, Yaadin cine no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ga te kosaray Urusalima se d'a, A ga te a se kosaray, a m'a kaa kambe mo, A boŋ do no a ga gana k'a faaba.»
6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
6 Ya araŋ Israyla izey, wa bare ka ye Rabbi do haray, nga kaŋ gaa araŋ murte gumo.
7For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
7 Zama zaaro din ra boro fo kulu ga nga nzarfu tooro da nga wura tooro furu, wo kaŋ yaŋ araŋ kambey te, kaŋ i teeyaŋ ya zunubi no.
8“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
8 «Saaya din takuba ga Assiriya zeeri, Kaŋ manti boro wane no. Takuba din mo kaŋ manti Adam-ize wane no ga ibare ŋwa ka ban. A ga zuru takuba se, A wane sahãkooney mo ga ciya taabi goy-teeriyaŋ.
9His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
9 A tondi daaro ga daray humburkumay sabbay se, A mayraykoyey mo ga gartu d'i di liiliwalo.» Yaadin no Rabbi ci, Nga kaŋ danjo go Sihiyona ra, A dudal beero mo go Urusalima.
