1At that time, says Yahweh, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
1 Yaa no Rabbi ci: alwaati woodin ra, i ga Yahuda bonkooney, d'i mayraykoyey, da alfagey, da annabey, da Urusalima ra gorokoy biriyey sambu k'i kaa ngey saarayey ra.
2and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
2 I g'i daaru wayna, da handu kwaaray, da beene kundey kulu gaa, kaŋ yaŋ se i na baakasinay cabe, i may i se, i n'i gana, i n'i ceeci, i sududu i se mo. I si biriyey din margu-margu, i s'i fiji mo koyne. I ga ciya birji laabo boŋ.
3Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of Armies.
3 Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga cindi, dumi laalo wo waney, sanda ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga cindi nangu kulu ra kaŋ ay n'i gaaray ka kond'ey, i ga buuyaŋ suuban ka fay da fundi. Yaadin no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci.
4Moreover you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
4 Ni ma ne i se koyne, yaa no Rabbi ci: D'i kaŋ, i si ye ka tun koyne no? Wala i ga banda bare ka jaŋ ka ye ka kaa no?
5Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
5 Ifo se no Urusalima borey wo na banda bare, Banda bareyaŋ kaŋ ga duumi no? I goono ga halliyaŋ di ka gaay. I wangu ye ka kaa yaŋ.
6I listened and heard, but they didn’t speak aright: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
6 Ay na hanga jeeri ka hangan, Amma i mana salaŋ da haŋ kaŋ ga saba. Boro si no kaŋ goono ga tuubi nda nga zunubo ka ne: «Ifo no ay te?» Kala day boro kulu goono ga nga koyyaŋ te no, Sanda bari kaŋ te garbat ga koy wongu do.
7Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don’t know Yahweh’s law.
7 Oho, baa waaliya kaŋ go beene ga nga alwaatey bay. Koloŋayey da kumbu-hangey, da kaagey ga laakal nda ngey kaayaŋo alwaato. Amma ay borey si Rabbi farilla bay.
8How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.
8 Mate no araŋ goono ga ne: «Iri ya laakalkooniyaŋ no. Rabbi asariya mo go iri banda?» Amma, wa te laakal, hantumkoy tangari kalamo na tangari hantum.
9The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
9 Laakalkooney haaw, i humburu, i n'i di mo. A go, i wangu Rabbi sanno. Laakal woofo dumi no i se binde?
10Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
10 Woodin sabbay se ay g'i wandey no boro fooyaŋ se, I farey mo borey kaŋ g'i ŋwa yaŋ din se. Zama boro fo kulu, ikayna gaa, ibeeri gaa, I kulu na ngey boŋ nooyandi riiba biniyay se. Afo kulu goono ga tangari goy te, Za annabey gaa kal a ma koy alfagey gaa.
11They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
11 I n'ay jama ize wayo dooro yayandi beene-beene. I goono ga ne: «Baani samay! Baani samay!» -- Amma baani kulu si no.
12Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.
12 I haaw no waato kaŋ i na fanta hari goyey te? Abada, i mana haaw baa kayna. I moydumey mo mana baa alhaali barme. Woodin sabbay se binde borey kaŋ yaŋ ga kati ka kaŋ ra no ngey mo ga kaŋ. I ciiti zaaro ra ay g'i zeeri ganda. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
13I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
13 Ay g'i hamay ka kaa parkatak! Yaadin no Rabbi ci. I si reyzin* ize gar a tiksa gaa, Wala jeejay ize a nyaŋo gaa. Kobtey mo ga suugu. Haŋ kaŋ ay n'i no mo ga daray i se.
14Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.
14 Ifo se no iri goono ga goro hinne? Wa margu, iri ma furo gallu cinari-beeri-koyey ra, Iri ma bu i ra, Zama Rabbi iri Irikoyo n'iri halaciyaŋo waadu. A n'iri no damari hari iri ma haŋ, Zama iri na zunubi te Rabbi se.
15We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
15 Iri na laakal kanay ceeci, Amma gomni kulu si no kaŋ kaa. Iri na fundi baani jirbiyaŋ ceeci, Amma kala humburkumay kaŋ kaa.
16The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell therein.
16 Za Dan ra no i ga maa ibare bariyey niine karyaŋey. A cey kosongo maayanta laabo kulu ga jijiri. Zama i ga kaa ka laabo da hay kulu kaŋ go laabo ra, Da gallo da nga ra gorokoy kulu ŋwa.
17For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yahweh.
17 Zama a go, ay ga gondiyaŋ da firsayaŋ samba araŋ game ra kaŋ yaŋ gardey si hin ey, I g'araŋ nama mo. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
18Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
18 Ay bine sara sinda safari! Ay bina dooru.
19Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: isn’t Yahweh in Zion? Isn’t her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?
19 Ma maa ay jama ize wayo hẽeni jinda, A go ga fun laabu kaŋ ga mooru gumo ra ka ne: «Rabbi si no Sihiyona ra no, wala? A bonkoono si no a ra no?» To! Ifo se no i n'ay yanje ceeci nda ngey himandi jabontey, da mebarawey toorey mo?
20The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
20 Heemar waate bisa, i na fari wiyaŋ ban, Iri mana du faaba mo.
21For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
21 Ay maa doori ay jama ize wayo dooro se gumo. Ay go ga bu baray te. Boŋ haway n'ay di.
22Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
22 Ji si no Jileyad ra no? Yayandiko mo si no noodin no? Day, ifo se no ay jama ize wayo mana ye ka te baani?
