35 All the dwellers in the coastlands, Are astounded over thee, - And their kings have been made to shudder a shuddering, To be troubled in countenance.
Arĩa othe matũũraga mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmamakĩte nĩ ũndũ waku; athamaki ao mainainaga nĩ kũmaka, na magathita ithiithi nĩ guoya.
36 The traders among the peoples, have hissed over thee: A terror, hast thou become, And, art not, Unto times age-abiding.
Nao onjoria marĩ gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nĩmarakũnyũrũria; nĩũkinyĩte mũthia wa kũguoyohithania, nawe ndũgacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.’”
