Isaia 64
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, naarĩ korwo watarũranga matu ũikũrũke gũkũ thĩ, nĩguo irĩma ithingithe irĩ mbere yaku!
Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
2 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!
as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.
3 Nĩgũkorwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Wee wekire maũndũ ma kũmakania marĩa tũteerĩgĩrĩire-rĩ, nĩwaikũrũkire, nacio irĩma igĩthingitha irĩ mbere yaku.
When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 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.
Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5 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?
You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
6 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.
For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku, kana akageria anyiitane nawe; nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũhithĩte ũthiũ waku, ũgagĩtũma tũhinyĩrĩrĩke nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ.
There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8 No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, wee nĩwe ithe witũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ rĩũmba, nawe nĩwe mũtũũmbi; ithuothe tũrĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
But now, Jehovah, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.
9 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.
Do not be furious, Jehovah, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
10 Matũũra maku marĩa manene maamũre nĩmatuĩkĩte werũ; o na itũũra rĩa Zayuni rĩtuĩkĩte werũ, narĩo itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgakira ihooru.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Hekarũ iitũ ĩrĩa nyamũre na ĩrĩ riiri, kũrĩa maithe maitũ maakũgoocagĩra, nĩĩcinĩtwo na mwaki, nacio indo ciitũ ciothe iria irĩ bata nĩcianangĩtwo.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
12 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio mothe, Wee Jehova-rĩ, anga nĩũgũtũtiganĩria, wage gũtũteithia? Ũgũkira o ro ũguo na ũkĩrĩrĩrie gũtũherithia makĩria?
Will you refrain yourself for these things, Jehovah? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
