Nĩngũrũgama handũ hakwa ha kũrangĩra, na njikare o hau rũthingo igũrũ. Njetereire njigue ũrĩa ekũnjĩĩra, nĩguo menye ũrĩa ingĩcookia nĩ ũndũ wa iteta rĩĩrĩ.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the last it shall speake, and not lie: though it tarie, waite: for it shall surely come, and shall not stay.
Nĩgũkorwo ũguũrio ũyũ wetereire ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo; waragia ũhoro wa matukũ ma mũthia, na ndũngĩtuĩka wa maheeni. O na ũngĩikara mũno-rĩ, weterere. Ti-itherũ nĩũkahingio, na ndũgatĩĩrio.

5 Yea, in deede the proude man is as hee that transgresseth by wine: therefore shall he not endure, because he hath enlarged his desire as the hell, and is as death, and can not be satisfied, but gathereth vnto him all nations, and heapeth vnto him all people. (Sheol h7585)
ti-itherũ, mũndũ ũcio mwĩtĩĩi nĩakunyanagĩrwo nĩ ndibei; nĩ mwĩtĩĩi na ndarĩ hĩndĩ ahurũkaga. Tondũ akorokete ta mbĩrĩra, na o ta ũrĩa gĩkuũ gĩtaiganagia, o nake ndaiganagia; acookanagĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciothe harĩ we, na agataha andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. (Sheol h7585)

“Githĩ andũ othe matikamũthekerera makĩmũnyũrũragia, na mamũnyarare, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “‘Kaĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩigagĩra indo cia ũici, na agetongia na indo cia ũtunyani arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Egũtũũra ekaga ũguo nginya-rĩ?’
7 Shall they not rise vp suddenly, that shall bite thee? and awake, that shall stirre thee? and thou shalt be their praye?

8 Because thou hast spoyled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoyle thee, because of mens blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the citie, and vnto all that dwell therein.
Tondũ nĩũtahĩte ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ indo ciao, matigari ma ndũrĩrĩ icio, nĩmagagũtaha indo o nawe. Nĩ ũndũ nĩũitĩte thakame ya andũ, na ũkaananga mabũrũri, na matũũra manene, o na arĩa othe marĩ kuo.
