1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
1 Guna, han fo koy fo ga mayray te adilitaray ra, Mayraykoyyaŋ mo ga may da cimi ciiti.
2A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
2 Boro fo ga ciya sanda tuguyaŋ do haw kaŋ ga faaru sabbay se, Da kosaray hari mo beene hari bambata sabbay se, A ga ciya sanda laabu kogo ra hari zuruyaŋ, Wala tondi bambata bi laabu kaŋ gonda farga ra.
3The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
3 Borey kaŋ ga di moy si te kubay-kubay, Borey kaŋ yaŋ hangey ga maa ga laakal ye.
4The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
4 Cahante bine ga faham da bayray, Jijey mo deeney ga bare ka salaŋ hal a ma boori.
5The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
5 Boro si ye ka ne saamo ya boro hanno no koyne. Baciilu mo, i si ye ka ne a se gomnikoy.
6For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
6 Zama saamo ga soobay ka saamotaray sanni te, A bina mo ga laala goy te zama nga ma soobay ka ganayaŋ-jaŋay goy te se, Ka taali ci mo Rabbi boŋ. A ma harayze ganji ŋwaari, A ma jaw maako ganji hari mo.
7The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
7 Baciilu wongu jinayey ya laala wane yaŋ no, A ga dabari laalo yaŋ te zama taabante ma halaci da tangari sanniyaŋ, Baa alfukaaru na cimi ci.
8But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
8 Amma boro hanno ga muraadu hanno yaŋ soola, Muraadu hanney gaa mo no a ga sandandi.
9Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
9 Ya araŋ wayborey kaŋ yaŋ go bine kaani goray ra. Wa tun ka kay ka maa ay jinda. Ya araŋ wandiyey kaŋ si saal, Wa hanga jeeri ay sanney se.
10For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won’t come.
10 Ya araŋ wayborey kaŋ si saal, Ne ka guna jiiri fo nda jirbiyaŋ no araŋ ga taabi haŋ, Zama reyzin wiyaŋ ga gaze, borey si dundum mo.
11Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
11 Ya araŋ wayborey kaŋ yaŋ go bine kaani goray ra, Araŋ gaahamey ma jijiri. Ya araŋ kaŋ yaŋ si saal, Wa soobay ka taabi haŋ. Wa bankaaray kaa, wa bara koonu, Wa bufu zaara haw araŋ cantey gaa.
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
12 W'araŋ gandey di fari hanney sabbay se, Da reyzin nya kaŋ ga hay sabbay se,
13Thorns and briars will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
13 D'ay borey laabo mo se kaŋ karji nyayaŋ da tuuri karjikoyyaŋ ga zay a ra. Oho, wa hẽ mo gallu farhanta ra windey kulu se kaŋ yaŋ gonda bine kaani.
14For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
14 Zama borey ga fay da bonkoono faada. Gallu kaŋ gonda boro boobo, i ga fay d'a kurmu. Ofel da batandiyaŋ jidan bisey ga ciya tondi guusu yaŋ hal abada, Da ganji farka wayey farhã hari, Da alman kurey kuruyaŋ do.
15Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
15 A ga ciya kurmu hal alwaati kaŋ cine Rabbi ga nga Biya dooru a ma fun beene ka kaa iri boŋ. Saajo mo ga ciya fari kaŋ ga te nafa, Faro kaŋ ga te nafa mo, I g'a lasaabu sanda saaji tuuri zugu cine.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
16 Waato din gaa no cimi ciiti ga goro saajo ra, Adilitaray mo ga goro faro kaŋ gonda nafa din ra.
17The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
17 Adilitaray nafa ga ciya laakal kanay. Adilitaray alhakko mo ga ciya bine ra baani da deyaŋ timmante kaŋ sinda sikka hal abada.
18My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
18 Gaa no ay borey ga goro laakal kanay nangoray ra, Nangoray tabbatante yaŋ ra, Da fulanzamyaŋ nanguyaŋ kaŋ sinda laakal tunay ra.
19Though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.
19 Baa kaŋ gari ga te kaŋ ga saajo tuuri zugey zeeri, A ga gallu mo zeeri parkatak,
20Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
20 Kulu nda yaadin araŋ ya albarkanteyaŋ no, Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga duma hari meyey gaa nangu kulu, Araŋ goono ga yeeji nda farkay boy mo i ma koy ka kuru.
