1“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
1 Ya araŋ kaŋ ga adilitaray gana, Ya araŋ, Rabbi ceecikoy, wa hanga jeeri ay se. Wa tondo guna, naŋ kaŋ a n'araŋ jabu ka kaa, Laabo guusuyaŋo mo kaŋ ra a n'araŋ fansi ka kaa.
2Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
2 Wa guna araŋ kaayo Ibrahim da Saharatu kaŋ n'araŋ hay. Zama saaya kaŋ Ibrahim go nga hinne ay n'a ce, Ay n'a albarkandi ka naŋ a ma baa mo.
3For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
3 Haciika Rabbi ga Sihiyona bina yeenandi, A g'a kurmey kulu kunfa. A g'a saajo ciya sanda Eden cine, A g'a taasi beerey mo ciya sanda Rabbi kalo cine. Farhã da bine kaani no i ga gar a ra, Da saabuyaŋ da sifaw dooni jinde.
4“Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
4 Ya ay jama, wa hangan ka maa ay se. Ya nin ay kunda, ma hanga jeeri ay se, Zama asariya ga fun ay do, Ay g'ay cimi ciito sinji a ma ciya kaari dumey se.
5My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
5 Ay adilitara ga maan, ay faaba fatta, Ay kambey mo ga ciiti jamayaŋ se. Teeku me gaa laabey g'ay batu, Ay kamba gaa no i ga beeje sinji.
6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
6 W'araŋ boŋ sambu ka beena guna, Araŋ ma ndunnya mo guna ganda. Zama beeney ga say ka daray sanda dullu cine, Ganda mo ga zeen sanda kwaay cine, A ra gorokoy mo ga bu yaadin cine. Amma ay faaba ga tabbat hal abada, Ay adilitara mo si barmay.
7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don’t fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
7 Ya araŋ adilitaray baykoy, Araŋ kaŋ biney ra ay asariya go, Wa hanga jeeri ay se. Wa si humburu borey wowo, Wa si naŋ mo i alaasiray booba ma hin araŋ.
8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
8 Zama naana-baano g'i ŋwa sanda kwaay cine, Nooni g'i ŋwa mo sanda feeji hamni silli. Amma ay adilitara ga duumi hal abada, Ay faaba mo ga duumi hala zamaney kulu me.
9Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
9 Ya Rabbi kamba, ma mo hay, ma mo hay, Ma gaabi daŋ sanda bankaaray cine. Ma mo hay sanda doŋ jirbey ra cine, Doŋ borey zamaney wano. Wala manti nin no ka Rahab beeri-beeri ka teeku ham beero gooru-gooru mo?
10Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
10 Wala manti nin no ka teeko koogandi, Kaŋ ga ti guusuyaŋ bambata harey, Ni na teeku guusuyaŋey ciya fondo mo hala fansantey ma daŋandi?
11The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
11 Rabbi wane fansantey mo ga ye ka kaa. Dooni no i ga kaa d'a Sihiyona, Bine kaani kaŋ ga duumi ga goro i boŋ. I ga du bine kaani da farhã, Bine jisiyaŋ da durayyaŋ mo ga zuru.
12“I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
12 Ay no, ay bumbo no g'araŋ bine yeenandi. Nin no may kaŋ ga humburu Adam-ize kaŋ ga bu? Ni ga humburu boro ize kaŋ ga ciya sanda subu cine no?
13and have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
13 Hala ni ma dinya Rabbi ni Takakwa, Nga kaŋ na beeney salle ka ndunnya tiksey mo sinji. Zaari me-a-me ni goono ga humburu kankamandikwa futa duumi, Waati kaŋ a ga soola nga ma halaciyaŋ te. Man gaa binde no kankamandikwa futa go?
14The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
14 Boro kaŋ go tamtaray ra ga fun kambe nda waasi. A si bu kasu ra, a si jaŋ ŋwaari mo.
15For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
15 Zama ay no, Rabbi ni Irikoyo, Kaŋ ga teeku tunandi hal a bonday beerey ma kosongu, Rabbi Kundeykoyo no ga ti ay maa.
16I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
16 Ay n'ay sanney daŋ ni meyo ra, Ay na ni tugu mo ay kambe faata biyo ra, Zama ay ma beeney tabbatandi, Ay ma ndunnya tiksey mo sinji. Ay ma ne Sihiyona mo se: «Nin no ga ti ay jama.»
17Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
17 Ma mo hay, ma mo hay! Ya nin Urusalima, ma tun ka kay. Nin kaŋ na Rabbi futay gaasiya haŋ a kambe ra, Ni na teeniyaŋ gaasiya haŋ ka to hala zambo gaa.
18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
18 Urusalima sinda candiko ize arey kulu kaŋ yaŋ a hay ra. Ize arey kulu kaŋ yaŋ a biiri ra mo, A jaŋ boro kaŋ g'a kambe candi.
19These two things have happened to you. Who will bemoan you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort you?
19 Hari hinka woone yaŋ wo du nin, May no ga baray ni se? Alandaaba nda halaciyaŋ da haray da takuba no du nin. May mo no ga ni kunfa da manti ay?
20Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
20 Ni ize arey yangala, I go ga kani kwaara fondey kulu ra sanda jeeri kaŋ gata di. I kungu nda Rabbi dukuro kaŋ ga ti ni Irikoyo kaseetiyaŋo.
21Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
21 Woodin sabbay se, ya nin waybora kaŋ taabi, Nin kaŋ bugu manti da duvan, ma maa woone.
22Thus says your Lord Yahweh, and your God who pleads the cause of his people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
22 Yaa no Rabbi ni Koyo ci, Ni Irikoyo nooya, nga kaŋ ga nga jama fansa sambu. A ne: «A go, ay na ni teeniyaŋ gaasiya ta ni kamba ra, Kaŋ ga ti ay futay gaaso. Ni si ye k'a haŋ koyne.
23and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over.”
23 Amma ay g'a daŋ borey kaŋ goono ga ni taabandi yaŋ din kambe ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ne ni fundo se: ‹Ma kani ganda zama iri ma taamu ka bisa.› Hala ni na ni banda daaro ciya sanda laabu, Ni n'a ciya sanda fondo mo borey kaŋ g'a daaru se.»
