< Isaiah 64 >
1 That thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence.
Atĩrĩrĩ, naarĩ korwo watarũranga matu ũikũrũke gũkũ thĩ, nĩguo irĩma ithingithe irĩ mbere yaku!
2 They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence.
O ta ũrĩa mwaki ũmundagia thari ikarĩrĩmbũka, na ũgatũma maaĩ matherũke-rĩ, ikũrũka thĩ ũtũme rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩmenywo nĩ thũ ciaku, na ũtũme ndũrĩrĩ ciinaine irĩ mbere yaku!
3 When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away.
Nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Wee wekire maũndũ ma kũmakania marĩa tũteerĩgĩrĩire-rĩ, nĩwaikũrũkire, nacio irĩma igĩthingitha irĩ mbere yaku.
4 From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.
Kuuma o tene gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũrĩ waigua maũndũ ta macio, na gũtirĩ gũtũ kũrĩ kwaigua ũhoro ta ũcio, o na kana riitho rĩkĩona Ngai ũngĩ tawe, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa maikaraga mamwetereire.
5 Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved.
Wee ũũkaga gũteithia andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire makenete, o acio maririkanaga njĩra ciaku. No rĩrĩa twagire gũcirũmĩrĩra tũgĩthiĩ na mbere na kwĩhia-rĩ, wee nĩwarakarire. Ithuĩ-rĩ, tũngĩkĩhonoka atĩa?
6 And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Ithuothe tũtuĩkĩte ta mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu, na ciĩko ciothe cia ũthingu witũ ihaana ta ndangari irĩ magigi; ithuothe tũhohaga tũkahaana ta ithangũ, namo mehia maitũ magatũhuruta o ta ũrĩa rũhuho rũhuruutaga maragara.
7 There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku, kana akageria anyiitane nawe; nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũhithĩte ũthiũ waku, ũgagĩtũma tũhinyĩrĩrĩke nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ.
8 And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands.
No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, wee nĩwe ithe witũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ rĩũmba, nawe nĩwe mũtũũmbi; ithuothe tũrĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
9 Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, tiga gũtũrakarĩra mũno makĩria, o na kana ũtũũre ũririkanaga mehia maitũ. Na rĩrĩ, ta tũrore twagũthaitha, wone atĩ ithuothe tũrĩ andũ aku.
10 The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate.
Matũũra maku marĩa manene maamũre nĩmatuĩkĩte werũ; o na itũũra rĩa Zayuni rĩtuĩkĩte werũ, narĩo itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgakira ihooru.
11 The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins.
Hekarũ iitũ ĩrĩa nyamũre na ĩrĩ riiri, kũrĩa maithe maitũ maakũgoocagĩra, nĩĩcinĩtwo na mwaki, nacio indo ciitũ ciothe iria irĩ bata nĩcianangĩtwo.
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently?
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe, Wee Jehova-rĩ, anga nĩũgũtũtiganĩria, wage gũtũteithia? Ũgũkira o ro ũguo na ũkĩrĩrĩrie gũtũherithia makĩria?
