⁴I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

⁴ Waati kaŋ ndunnya da nga ra gorokoy kulu ga jijiri, Ay no g'a bonjarey sinji. (Wa dangay)

⁴I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁵Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

⁵ Ay ne foomantey se: ‹Wa si fooma.› Laalakoyey mo, ay ne i se: ‹Wa si boŋ jare.

⁵Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

⁸For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

⁹But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

⁹ Zama Rabbi kambe ra gonda gaasiya, Duvaŋo* kaŋ go a ra mo ga te kufu, A ga to da marga-marga, Irikoy ga soogu ka kaa a ra mo. A zambo mo, daahir boro laaley kulu kaŋ go ndunnya g'a zinji-zinji ka zu.

⁹But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹¹ A ga boro laaley hilley kulu pati, Amma adilantey hilley ga du darza.
