1“Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
1 He! Araŋ boro kulu kaŋ gaa jaw go, wa kaa haro do. Araŋ kaŋ sinda nooru, Wa kaa ka day ka ŋwa, Oho, wa kaa ka day duvan* da wa, Manti da nooru bo, manti mo da banayaŋ hari.
2Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
2 Ifo se no araŋ goono ga nooru bana haŋ kaŋ manti ŋwaari se? Araŋ goono ga goy mo haŋ kaŋ si kungandi se? Wa hangan ay se hal a ma boori, wa ŋwa ŋwaari kaano, Kaŋ g'araŋ biney kaanandi gumo-gumo mo.
3Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
3 Wa hanga jeeri ka kaa ay do me. Wa maa, araŋ biyey mo ga funa. Ay mo ya alkawli kaŋ ga duumi sambu araŋ se kaŋ ga ti Dawda wane suuji tabbatanta.
4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
4 A go, ay n'ay tamo daŋ jamayaŋ se seeda, Jine boro nda mayko mo no ndunnya dumey se.
5Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.”
5 A go, ni ga dumi fo kaŋ ni si bay ce. Dumi fo kaŋ si ni bay no ga zuru ka kaa ni do Rabbi ni Irikoyo sabbay se. A ga kaa Israyla wane Hananyankoyo sabbay se, Zama a na ni no darza.
6Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
6 Wa Rabbi ceeci za boro ga du a. W'a ce za a ga maan.
7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
7 Laalakoy ma nga fonda taŋ, Boro yaamo mo ma fay da nga fonguyaŋo. A ma ye ka kaa Rabbi do, nga mo g'a suuji. A ma kaa iri Irikoyo do, Zama a ga yaafa nda yulwa.
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” says Yahweh.
8 Zama ay miiley manti araŋ miiley no, Araŋ fondey mo manti ay fondey no. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
9 Zama sanda mate kaŋ cine beena ga mooru ganda, Yaadin cine mo no ay fondey bisa araŋ waney mooray, Ay miiley mo bisa araŋ waney.
10For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
10 Zama sanda mate kaŋ cine hari nda neezu* ga fun beene ka kaŋ, I si ye noodin koyne kala nd'i na laabo haŋandi, Hal a ga naŋ dumar'izey ma fun ka te kobtoyaŋ, A ma dumi no dumakoy se da ŋwaari mo ŋwaakoy se --
11so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
11 Yaadin cine no ay sanno kaŋ ga fun ay meyo ra mo ga ciya. A si ye ay do yaamo, Amma a ga haŋ kaŋ ay miila toonandi, A ga te albarka mo haya kaŋ se ay n'a samba ra.
12For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
12 Zama farhã no araŋ ga fatta nd'a, Laakal kanay ra no i g'araŋ candi. Tondi kuukey da tudey ga doon ka farhã araŋ jine, Saajo tuurey kulu mo ga kobi.
13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to Yahweh for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
13 Karji nango ra sipres* tuuri no ga fatta. Yo karji nango ra mo mirtal* no ga fatta. A ga ciya Rabbi maa fonguyaŋ hari, alaama kaŋ ga duumi, Kaŋ si gana mo.
