¹Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear; the world, and everything that comes from it.

¹ Ya araŋ, dumi cindey, Wa maan zama araŋ ma maa. Ya dumey, wa hanga jeeri. Laabey nda haŋ kaŋ go i ra kulu ma maa, Ndunnya da hay kulu kaŋ ga fun a gaa mo ma maa.

²For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.

² Zama Rabbi dukur ndunnya dumey kulu se, A futu mo i kundey kulu se. A g'i halaci parkatak, a g'i nooyandi wiyaŋ se.

³Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up; and the mountains will melt in their blood.

³ Borey g'i buukoy furu taray, i buukoy fumbo ga tun, Tondi kuukey mo ga tay d'i kurey.

⁴All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

⁴ Beene kundey kulu ga manne. Beene batama mo ga kunkuni sanda tira cine, I kundey kulu mo ga suugu sanda mate kaŋ cine reyzin kobto ga lakaw d'a fun nya gaa ka kaŋ, Sanda mate kaŋ cine jeejay kobto kogo ga kokobe ka fun jeejay nya gaa.

⁵For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.

⁵ Zama ay, Rabbi, ay takuba haŋ beena ra kal a kungu. A go mo, a ga kaŋ Edom boŋ, Ay jama kaŋ ay laali din boŋ.

⁶Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁶ Rabbi gonda takuba kaŋ kungu nda kuri, A naasu mo nda maani kaŋ a ŋwa. Feej'izey nda hincin izey kurey, Feeji gaarey dumayzey maano no a kungu nd'a, Zama Rabbi gonda sargay Bozra ra, Da wiyaŋ boobo mo Edom laabo ra.

⁷The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.

⁷ Haw-biyey ga zulli ka zumbu Edomancey banda, Ngey nda yeejey da daasey. Yaadin cine no i laabo ga kungu nda kuri, i bulungo mo ga maani koonu yeeri.

⁸For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

⁸ Zama Rabbi gonda banayaŋ zaari, Banandi jiiri no Sihiyona sanno sabbay se.

⁹Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, And its land will become burning pitch.

⁹ Edom goorey ga bare ka ciya sanda deeli cine, A kusa ga ciya sufar*, A laabo mo ga ciya deeli kaŋ go ga di da danji.

¹⁰It won’t be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.

¹⁰ Danjo si bu mo cin da zaari, A dullo ga soobay ka ciciri duumi. Zamana ka koy zamana a ga ciya koonu, Boro kulu si gana a ra hal abada abadin.

¹¹But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

¹¹ Amma bangu farka nda kuunu ga nango ŋwa, Kuku nda gaaruyaŋ mo ga goro a ra. Rabbi ga halaciyaŋ korfo nda yaamo deedandiyaŋ tondi salle a boŋ.

¹²They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.

¹² I g'a boro beerey ce ka kond'ey mayra do, Amma baa afolloŋ si noodin. A wane mayraykoyey kulu mo ga ciya yaamo.

¹³Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

¹³ Karji nyayaŋ ga fatta a faadey ra, Yo karji nda ngarfu ga te a gallu birnikoyey ra. A ga ciya zoŋoyaŋ nangoray, taatagayyaŋ windi mo no.

¹⁴The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature literally, lilith, which could also be a night demon or night monster shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.

¹⁴ Ganji hamey ga kubay da sakali noodin, Saaji hinciney mo ga ngey caley ce noodin. Oho, kuku beeri ga goro noodin ka du nga boŋ se fulanzamyaŋ do.

¹⁵The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.

¹⁵ Noodin no gondi mo ga nga fiti cina ka gunguri dam, A ma fambu, a ma nga izey margu nga biyo ra. Oho, noodin no gabu wayey ga margu, Afo kulu nda nga cale.

¹⁶Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. none will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

¹⁶ Wa ceeci Rabbi tira ra ka caw: Hayey din, baa afo si gaze i ra. I afo kulu mo si jaŋ nga cale, Zama Rabbi meyo no ka lordi te, A Biya mo no k'i margu.

¹⁷He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

¹⁷ A na kurne te ganji hamey din se, A kamba mo no ka laabo fay-fay i se da deedandiyaŋ korfo. I g'a mayra ŋwa hal abada, Zamana ka koy zamana no i ga goro a ra.
