1Then Yahweh said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
1 Kala Rabbi ne ay se: Baa Musa nda Samuwila no ga kay ay jine, i day si du ka te ay bina ma bare ka ye dumi woone wo do haray. M'i moorandi hala naŋ kaŋ ay si di ey, i ma ngey koyyaŋ te!
2It shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go forth? Then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
2 A ga ciya mo, d'i ne ni se: «Man gaa no iri ga koy?» kala ni ma ne i se: Yaa no Rabbi ci: Borey kaŋ yaŋ ay waadu buuyaŋ gaa, Buuyaŋ gaa no i ga koy. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ay waadu takuba gaa, Takuba gaa no i ga koy. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ay waadu haray gaa, Haray gaa no i ga koy. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ay waadu tamtaray gaa mo, Tamtaray ra no i ga koy.
3I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
3 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Ay ga waadu taaci sinji i boŋ, takuba ma beeri, hansiyaŋ ma kurru, beene curey da ganji hamey ma ŋwa, i ma halaci mo.
4I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
4 Ay ga naŋ i ma ciya humburandiyaŋ hari ndunnya mayrayey kulu se Yahuda bonkoono Manasse, Hezeciya ize sabbay se, haya kaŋ a te Urusalima ra din sabbay se.
5For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? or who will bemoan you? or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
5 Zama nin Urusalima, may no ga bakar ni se? May no ga bu baray te ni se mo? Wala may no ga kamba ka ni baani hã?
6You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you have gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
6 Nin kaŋ n'ay furu, yaa no Rabbi ci, Ni ye da banda. Woodin se no ay g'ay kamba salle ni boŋ ka ni halaci, Ay farga nd'ay ma cindi ni se.
7I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn’t return from their ways.
7 Ay ga borey faaru nda gaasu laabo birni meyey gaa. Ay ga naŋ i ma jaŋ ngey izey, ay g'ay borey halaci, Za kaŋ i mana bare ka fay da ngey muraadey.
8Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.
8 I wayborey kaŋ kurnyey bu ga tonton ay windanta hal i ma bisa teeku taasi baayaŋ cine. Ay ga wongu zurandi izeyaŋ candi ka kande i gaa zaari sance, I ga gaaba nda nya nda arwasu. Ay ga naŋ foyrayyaŋ nda humburkumay beeri ma nyaŋo jirsi.
9She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says Yahweh.
9 Waybora kaŋ na ize aru iyye hay yangala ka nga fundo taŋ. A wayna kaŋ za zaaro ga cindi, Haawi n'a di, a di kayna mo. Ay g'i cindo mo nooyandi takuba se i ibarey jine. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
10Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me.
10 Ya ay nya, kaari ay kaŋ ni n'ay hay! Ay ya kusuuma boro no, canda-canda boro laabo kulu se. Ay mana garaw daŋ, i mana nooru garaw ay gaa mo. Kulu nda yaadin i boro fo kulu goono g'ay laali.
11Yahweh said, Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
11 Rabbi ne: Daahir, ay ga ni kaa kambe ni albarka se. Daahir, ay ga naŋ ni yanjekaaro ma kaa ka ŋwaaray ni gaa masiiba alwaati, Da taabi alwaati ra mo.
12Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
12 A ga hin ka te no i ma azawa kambe haray guuru-bi wala guuru-say ceeri?
13Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
13 Ni arzaka da ni duura kaŋ gonda darza, Ay g'i ciya wongu arzaka, Kaŋ manti nda nooru. Amma ni zunubey kulu sabbay se, ni laabo me-a-me ra,
14I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
14 Ay ga naŋ ni ibarey ma konda nin laabu fo ra kaŋ ni si bay. Zama i na danji diyandi ay futa ra, Danji no kaŋ g'araŋ ton.
15Yahweh, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; don’t take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
15 Ya Rabbi, ni kaŋ ga bay. Ma fongu ay gaa, m'ay kunfa, Ma bana ay se borey kaŋ goono g'ay gurzugandi yaŋ boŋ. Ma s'ay hibandi ni suuro ra. Ni bay kaŋ ni sabbay se no ay di wowi.
16Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
16 Ay du ni sanney, ay n'i ŋwa mo. Ni sanney ciya ay se farhã da bine kaani ay bina se, Zama i n'ay ce da ni maa, Ya Rabbi Kundeykoyo.
17I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.
17 Ay mana goro ndunnya kaani baakoy marga ra, Ay mana farhã mo. Ay goro ay hinne no ni kamba sabbay se, Zama ni n'ay toonandi nda dukuri.
18Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
18 Ifo se no ay ga maa doori korno waati kulu, Ay biyo mo go, a sinda safari, a wangu ka yay? Daahir, ni ga ciya ay se sanda tangari gooru kaŋ haro sinda naanay.
19Therefore thus says Yahweh, If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.
19 Woodin sabbay se yaa no Rabbi ci: Da ni ye ka kaa, kal ay ma ni yayandi, Ni mo ga kay ay jine. A binde, da ni na sanni darzante ci ka fay da sanni yaamo, Ni ga ciya sanda ay meyo cine. Jama ga bare ka ye ni do, Amma ni si bare ka ye i do.
20I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Yahweh.
20 Ay ga ni ciya mo sanda guuru-say cinari gaabikooni jama wo se. Baa i ga wongu nin, i si te ni boŋ zaama, Zama ay go ni banda, ay ma ni faaba se, Ay ma ni kaa kambe mo. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
21I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
21 Ay ga ni kaa boro laaley kambe ra, Ay ma ni fansa mo ka kaa toonyantey kambe ra.
