¹Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

¹ Waato kaŋ Alfa Pasur, Immer izo, kaŋ ga ti Irikoy windo se jina fune maa kaŋ Irimiya goono ga hayey din annabitaray te,

²Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.

² kala Pasur na annabi Irimiya kar k'a daŋ baka* ra kaŋ go Benyamin meyo do, azawa kambe haray wano, meyo kaŋ go Rabbi fuwo jarga.

³It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.

³ A wane suba mo Pasur na Irimiya kaa baka ra. Kala Irimiya ne a se: «Rabbi mana ni maa daŋ Pasur bo, amma Joote go Kuray Kulu.»

⁴For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.

⁴ Zama yaa no Rabbi ci: A go, ay ga ni ciya humburkumay hari ni boŋ se, hala nda ni corey kulu mo se. I ibarey takubey g'i zeeri, ni moy ga di a mo. Ay ga Yahuda kulu daŋ Babila bonkoono kambe ra. A ga kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray Babila ra, a g'i wi da takuba mo.

⁵Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

⁵ Gallo wo mo, a arzaka kulu nd'a nafa kulu nd'a jinay caadantey kulu, oho, hala nda Yahuda bonkooney jisiri nangey ra waney, ay g'i daŋ i ibarey kambe ra. Ngey mo g'i ku, i m'i sambu ka kond'ey Babila.

⁶You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.

⁶ Nin wo mo, Pasur, da borey kulu kaŋ goono ga goro ni windo ra, araŋ ga koy tamtaray ra. Ni ga kaa Babila, noodin no ni ga bu, noodin mo no i ga ni fiji, nin da ni corey kulu, kaŋ yaŋ se ni na tangari annabitaray te.

⁷Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me.

⁷ Ya Rabbi, ni n'ay fafagu, ni du ay mo. Ni bisa ay gaabi, ni te zaama mo. Ay ciya hahaarayaŋ hari zaari me-a-me, Borey kulu goono g'ay hahaara.

⁸For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.

⁸ Zama saaya kaŋ cine ay ne ay ga salaŋ kulu, Ay ga soobay ka kaati ka ne: «Toonye nda halaciyaŋ go kaa!» Zama Rabbi sanno hima ay se sanda wowi hari da donda-caray hari zaaro me-a-me.

⁹If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can’t.

⁹ Kal ay ne: «Ay s'a maa ci, Ay si ye ka sanni fo ci a maa ra koyne.» Amma ay maa ay bina ra sanda danji kaŋ ga ton no goono ga daabu ay biriyey ra. Ay farga da suuru hinyaŋo, A mong'ay se mo.

¹⁰For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

¹⁰ Zama ay maa boro boobo ruubu, i go ga ne: «Joote go kuray kulu gaa. M'a kalima, oho, iri ga kond'a kalima!» Ay naanay borey kulu goono ga batandi hala ya kaŋ. I go ga ne: «Hambara boro ga hin k'a halli, Iri mo ma te a boŋ zaama, Iri ma bana a gaa.»

¹¹But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.

¹¹ Amma Rabbi go ay banda, Gaabikooni no kaŋ ga humburandi. Woodin se no ay gurzugandikoy ga kati. I si te zaama bo, amma i ga haaw gumo, Zama i mana goy da laakal, Ngey nda kayna no hal abada kaŋ borey si diny'a gaa.

¹²But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

¹² Amma, ya nin Rabbi Kundeykoyo, adilantey* Neesikwa, Nin kaŋ ga di gunde nda bine ra, Naŋ ay ma di ni banando i boŋ, Zama ni do no ay konda ay sabaabo.

¹³Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

¹³ Wa baytu te Rabbi se, wa Rabbi sifa, Zama a na alfukaaru fundi faaba laala goy-teekoy kambe ra.

¹⁴Cursed is the day in which I was born: don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

¹⁴ Laalante no zaaro kaŋ ra i n'ay hay. I ma si hano kaŋ hane ay nya n'ay hay din albarkandi.

¹⁵Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.

¹⁵ Laalante no bora kaŋ kande ay baabo se baaru hanno k'a bine kaanandi gumo ka ne: «I na ize aru hay ni se,»

¹⁶Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

¹⁶ Naŋ bora din ma ciya sanda galley kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi zeeri, A mana jalla i gaa mo. A ma maa kuuwayaŋ susubay, Da wongu ceyaŋ mo wayna go zaari sance,

¹⁷because he didn’t kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

¹⁷ Za kaŋ Rabbi man'ay wi za ay go gunde ra, Hal ay nyaŋo ma ciya ay se saaray, A gunda ma beeri waati kulu.

¹⁸Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

¹⁸ Ifo se no ay fatta ka fun gunde ra hal ay ma di taabi nda bone, Ay m'ay jirbey ban haawi ra mo?
