1I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?
1 Kal ay ne: «Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray no, wa maa, Ya araŋ, Yakuba jine borey, Ya araŋ, Israyla kunda maykoy. Manti araŋ no ga hima ka cimi ciiti bay bo?
2You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
2 Araŋ kaŋ go ga wangu ihanno ka ba ilaalo, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i gaa-kuuro foobu ka kaa i gaa, K'i hamo mo kaa i biriyey gaa.
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
3 Araŋ kaŋ g'ay borey ham ŋwa, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i gaa-kuuro fooru ka kaa i gaa, Araŋ kaŋ go g'i biriyey ceeri-ceeri. Oho, araŋ goono g'i dumbu-dumbu, Danga day kusu ra daŋyaŋ se, Sanda ham kaŋ go hinayaŋ kusu ra.
4Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
4 Saaya din no jine borey ga jinde tunandi Rabbi gaa, Amma a si tu i se. Oho, alwaati din a ga nga moyduma tugu i se zama i na zunubi te ngey goyey ra.»
5Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
5 Annabey kaŋ n'ay borey kambandi, D'i du haŋ kaŋ ga kaama nda ngey hinjey, I ga jinde sambu ka ne: «Baani!» Amma boro kulu kaŋ mana i no ngey me ŋwaaro, Kal i ma wongu soola a se. Yaadin no Rabbi ci i boŋ.
6“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
6 Woodin sabbay se no cin ga to araŋ gaa, Araŋ si du bangandiyaŋ koyne. A ga ciya kubay araŋ se, hal araŋ si di gunayaŋ ra. Wayna ga kaŋ annabey gaa, Zaari mo ga ciya ibi tik! i se.
7The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .”
7 Bangandi duukoy, haawi g'i di. Gunakoy mo, i boŋ ga haw. Oho, i kulu ga ngey meyey daabu, Zama tuyaŋ si no kaŋ ga fun Irikoy do.
8But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
8 Amma ay wo, Rabbi Biya do ay go toonante da hina, Da ciiti, da gaabi mo, kaŋ ga naŋ ay ma Yakuba murteyaŋo cabe a se, Ya Israyla zunubo mo cab'a se.
9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
9 Sohõ ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, wa maa woone, Ya araŋ, Yakuba kunda jine borey, Ya araŋ, Israyla kunda maykoy, Araŋ kaŋ ga cimi ciiti fanta, Araŋ kaŋ ga hay kulu kaŋ ga kay siirandi.
10They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
10 Araŋ kaŋ goono ga Sihiyona cina nda kuri, Urusalima mo da taali beeri.
11Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, “Isn’t Yahweh in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us.”
11 A arkusey goono ga ciiti te me-daabu tayaŋ sabbay se, A alfagey ga dondonandi sufuray nooru se, A annabey mo ga gunayaŋ te nooru sabbay se. Kulu nda yaadin kal i ma jeeri Rabbi gaa, i ma ne: «Manti Rabbi go iri game ra bo? Masiiba kulu si du iri!»
12Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
12 Woodin se no, sanda araŋ goyey sabbay se nooya, I ga Sihiyona far sanda fari bata guyaŋ cine, Urusalima mo ga ciya kurmu sanda laabu guyaŋ cine. Rabbi windo tondo mo ga hima tuuri zugey ra tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangu cine.
