1The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
1 Adilante ga bu, boro kulu baa si nd'a. Borey kaŋ gonda anniya Irikoy ganayaŋ ra mo ga te ka si, Amma boro si no kaŋ ga laakal ka bay kaŋ adilante ga dira no zama nga ma si di laala kaŋ ga kaa.
2He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
2 A ga furo laakal kanay ra. I afo kulu kaŋ ga dira nga adilitara ra ga fulanzam nga naŋ-kaniya ra.
3“But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
3 Amma araŋ, wayboro ziima izey, Da wayboro zina-teero da kaaruwa banda, wa maan ne.
4Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience, a seed of falsehood,
4 May no araŋ goono ga fooru nd'a? May gaa no araŋ goono ga me nyatte ka deene malaw? E! Manti araŋ wo zunubi ize da tangari banda yaŋ no bo?
5you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
5 Araŋ kaŋ g'araŋ bine ibaay laaley tunandi nda tooruyaŋ tuuri bi-koy kulu cire, Araŋ ga zankey wi goorey da tondi kortimey ra.
6Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
6 Gooru ra tondi yuttey cire no ni baa bara. Oho, woodin yaŋ ga ti ni baa. Toorey se no ni na haŋyaŋ sargayey soogu ka ŋwaari nooyaŋey salle. Ya suuru nda woodin yaŋ, wala?
7On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
7 Tondi beeri kuuku fo boŋ no ni na ni daaro sinji, Noodin mo no ni kaaru ka ni sarga salle.
8Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
8 Fu meyey daabirjo da nga bareyaŋ haro banda no ni na ni fonguyaŋ harey sinji, zama ni fay d'ay. Ni na ni jallo feeri, Ni kaaru mo ka ni daarijo tafandi, Ni sappe nda toorey mo. Ni kani nd'ey yaŋo kaan ni se, ni n'i jalley guna.
9You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .
9 Ni koy bonkoono do mo da tuusuyaŋ ji, Ni na ni waddi jinayey mo labu-care a se. Ni na ni diyey donton nangu mooro, Ni zumbu mo ka koy hala Alaahara.
10You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
10 Ni farga ni fonda moora sabbay se, Kulu nda yaadin ni mana ne: «Ay g'ay bina kaa.» Ni kambe gaabo taji, Woodin sabbay se no ni mana zaŋay.
11“Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace even of long time, and you don’t fear me?
11 Man bora kaŋ ni humburu nda humburkumay beeri? Zama ni tangari, ni mana fongu ay gaa, Ni mana woodin jisi ni bina ra mo. Manti ay dangay za gayyaŋ kaŋ ga naŋ ni si humburu ay?
12I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
12 Ay ga ni adilitara da ni goyey bangandi, Amma i si ni nafa bo.
13When you cry, let those who you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.”
13 Da ni ce, Kala ni toorey kaŋ ni margu-margu ma ni faaba. Amma haw kaŋ ga faaru g'i sambu, Funsuyaŋ folloŋ g'i kulu say. Amma boro kaŋ de ay gaa ga laabo tubu, A ga du ay tondi hananta mo.
14He will say, “Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
14 Boro fo ga ne mo: «Wa te laabu gusam, wa te laabu gusam, Wa fondo hanse, wa katiyaŋ sabaabey hibandi ka kaa ay jama fonda gaa!»
15For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
15 Zama ya no beeray da darza Koyo ci, Nga kaŋ goono ga goro hal abada zamaney kaŋ ga duumi ra, Nga kaŋ maa ga hanan, A ne: Ay goono ga goro beeray nangu hananta ra, Da mo boro kaŋ a wane taaley dooru a gaa, Kaŋ gonda lalabu mo banda, zama ay ma borey kaŋ gonda lalabu biyey funandi, Ya boro kaŋ a wane taaley dooru a gaa mo fundo tajandi.
16For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who I have made.
16 Zama ay si canda-canda duumi bo. Ay si futu mo waati kulu. Zama d'ay te yaadin, kala boro biya da fundey kaŋ ay te din ma yangala ay jine.
17For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
17 Israyla riiba laala se no ay futu. Ay n'a kar, ay n'ay moyduma tugu, ay futu mo. Kulu nda yaadin a soobay ka bare ka nga boŋ fonda gana.
18I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
18 Ay di a bina fonda, amma ay g'a yayandi, Ay g'a candi mo. Ay ma yaamaryaŋ te a se koyne, Nga nda borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga bu baray te a banda.
19I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
19 Ay no ka sifaw kaŋ me ga ci taka. Laakal kanay toonante go no boro kaŋ ga mooru nda boro kaŋ ga maan mo se. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Ay g'a no baani mo.
20But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
20 Amma laalakoyey ga hima teeku kaŋ ga follo, Kaŋ si hin ka kani, A harey mo goono ga zuru nda biti da ziibi-ziiba.
21“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
21 Ay Irikoyo ne: Laakal kanay si no laalakoyey se.
