1Thus says Yahweh, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?
1 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Beene ya ay karga no, Ganda mo ay ce furkange no. Fu woofo dumi no araŋ ga cina ay se? Nangu woofo mo no ga ciya ay fulanzamyaŋ do?
2For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
2 Hayey wo kulu, ay kamba no k'i te, Hayey din kulu mo, ay kamba no naŋ i bara. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Amma boro woone no ay baa go d'a, Bora kaŋ sinda boŋbeeray, kaŋ ga nga biya ye ganda, Kaŋ ga jijiri d'a maa ay sanno mo.
3He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
3 Boro kaŋ na yeeji wi _ka sarga|_ ga hima ay se boro kaŋ na boro wi. Boro kaŋ ga feej'ize salle sargay mo ga hima boro kaŋ na hansi jinde ceeri. Boro kaŋ ga kande hamni sargay ga hima boro kaŋ kande gursuna* kuri. Boro kaŋ ga lubban dugu ton mo ga hima boro kaŋ goono ga tooru sifa. Oho, i na ngey boŋ fondoyaŋ suuban, I biney mo goono ga farhã d'i fanta harey.
4I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
4 Ay mo g'i kankamo suuban, Ay ga naŋ haŋ kaŋ i ga humburu ma kaa i gaa. Zama waato kaŋ ay ce, boro kulu mana tu. Waato kaŋ ay salaŋ mo, i mana hangan, Amma i te haŋ kaŋ ga laala ay diyaŋ gaa, I suuban mo haŋ kaŋ si kaan ay se.
5Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
5 Araŋ kaŋ ga jijiri Rabbi sanno maayaŋ se, Wa maa Rabbi sanno. A ne: Araŋ nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ wangu araŋ, kaŋ yaŋ na araŋ furu ay maa sabbay se ga ne: «Rabbi beeri! Wa naŋ iri ma di araŋ farhã,» Amma ngey wo ga haaw.
6A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.
6 Kosongu jinde kaŋ go gallo ra, Yooja kaŋ ga fun Irikoy fuwo ra ga ti Rabbi jinda kaŋ go ga bana a ibarey gaa.
7“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
7 Za hay-zaŋay taabi mana kaa wayboro gaa no a hay, Za a mana hay-zaŋay no a na ize alboro hay --
8Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
8 May no ka maa woodin dumi ce fo? May no ka di a dumi ce fo? Zaari folloŋ hayyaŋ taabi gaa no i ga laabu jama hay? Fap folloŋ no i ga kunda hay? Zama Sihiyona hay-zaŋay sintina gaa no a na izeyaŋ hay.
9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?” says Yahweh: “shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?” says your God.
9 Ay ga hay-tu feeri, Ay ma jaŋ ka naŋ ize ma fatta, wala? Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Haciika ay kaŋ ga hayyaŋ daŋ s'a ganji. Yaadin no ni Irikoyo ci.
10“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
10 Ya araŋ kulu kaŋ ga ba r'a, Wa farhã Urusalima banda, Ya araŋ kulu kaŋ goono ga bu baray te a se, Wa te bine kaani ka farhã a banda,
11that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
11 Zama araŋ ma du ka naan ka kungu a bine yeenandiyaŋ fafa gaa. Zama araŋ ma waay ka maa kaani araŋ fundey ra d'a darza toonanta.
12For thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
12 Zama yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay ga laakal kanay salle a se sanda isa cine, Dumi cindey darza mo y'a salle sanda hari yaa cine. Araŋ ga naan, i g'araŋ hampa banda daari ra, I ga fooru nda araŋ mo kange boŋ.
13As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
13 Sanda mate kaŋ ni nya ga boro bine yeenandi, Yaadin cine no ay g'araŋ biney yeenandi. Ay g'araŋ biney yeenandi mo Urusalima ra.
14You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
14 Araŋ ga di woodin, araŋ biney mo ga kaan, Araŋ biriyey mo ga zay sanda subu tayo cine. Rabbi kamba dabaro ga bangay a tamey se, A ga dukur mo nga ibarey se.
15For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
15 Zama a go, Rabbi ga kaa danji ra, A wongu torkey ga ciya hari haw bambata cine yaŋ, A futa d'a futay korno cabeyaŋ se, A kaseetey mo ga bangay danji beeleyaŋ ra.
16For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.
16 Zama Rabbi ga Adam-izey kulu ciiti da nga takuba da danji ra mo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi ga wi mo ga baa gumo.
17“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
17 Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey boŋ fay waani, i ga ngey boŋ soola gumo zama ngey ma koy tooru kaley do, i afo kulu ga boro fo kaŋ go i bindo ra gana. I ga gursuna ham, da fanta hariyaŋ, da caŋ ŋwa. I kulu ga halaci care banda. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
18“For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
18 Zama ay g'i goyey d'i fonguyaŋey kulu bay. Jirbiyaŋ goono ga kaa kaŋ ndunnya dumey da deene kulu ga margu ka kaa ka di ay darza.
19“I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
19 Ay ga alaama kayandi i game ra. I ra borey kaŋ yaŋ du ka yana mo, ay g'i donton ndunnya dumey do. I ga koy Tarsis, da Pul, da Ludu, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti tongokoyey, da Tubal da Yaban do.

20They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
20 Ndunnya dumey kulu ra no i ga fun d'araŋ nya-izey kulu, nooyaŋ hari no Rabbi se. I ga kaa bariyaŋ, da torkoyaŋ, da balankaryaŋ, da alambaanayaŋ, da yoyaŋ boŋ.

21Of them also will I take for priests and for Levites,” says Yahweh.
21 I ra koyne, ay ga boro fooyaŋ kaa i ma ciya alfagayaŋ da Lawi boroyaŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
22“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your seed and your name shall remain.
22 Zama mate kaŋ cine beene tajey da ganda tajo kaŋ yaŋ ay ga te ga duumi ay jine, yaa no Rabbi ci, yaadin cine no araŋ banda d'araŋ maa ga duumi.
23It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
23 A ga ciya mo, handu taji fo ka koy afo gaa, asibti fo ka koy asibti fo mo gaa, Adam-izey kulu ga kaa ka sududu ay jine. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
24“They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
24 I ga fatta ka borey kaŋ na taali te ay se yaŋ din buukoy guna. Zama i nooney si bu, i danjo mo hay kulu s'a wi. I ga ciya fanta hari yaŋ mo Adam-izey kulu se.
