1Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, -- that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
1 Sanda mate kaŋ cine danji ga tuuri ize baanoyaŋ ŋwa, Wala mate kaŋ cine danji ga naŋ hari ma zarga, Yaadin cine no ni ga ni maa bayrandi ni ibarey se, Dumi cindey mo ga jijiri ni jine.
2-- as fire kindleth brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!
2 Saaya kaŋ ni na goyey kaŋ ga humburandi te, Kaŋ yaŋ iri mana tammahã, Waato din no ni zumbu, Kala tondi kuukey manne ka bambari ni jine.
3When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
3 Za doŋ borey mana bay ka maa ni baaru, I mana hanga jeeri, Mo kulu mo mana di Irikoy fo kaŋ waana nin, Ni kaŋ ga goy te boro se kaŋ ga hangan ni se.
4Never have [men] heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth for him.
4 Ni koy ka boro kulu kaŋ goono ga farhã da adilitaray teeyaŋ kubay, I ga fongu nin ni muraadey ra. A go, ni futu zama iri na zunubi te, I ra no iri go za gayyaŋ, Iri ga du faaba mo, wala?
5Thou meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned:) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be saved.
5 Zama iri kulu ciya sanda haŋ kaŋ si hanan, Iri adilitaray goyey kulu mo ga hima sanda wayboro nyunandi zaara-zaara, Iri kulu goono ga koogu sanda kobto, Iri zunubey mo goono g'iri sambu ka konda iri sanda mate kaŋ cine haw faaru ga te kobto se.
6And we are all become as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have carried us away;
6 Ni maa ceeko kulu si no, Boro si no kaŋ gonda anniya nga ma ni di da gaabi. Zama ni na ni moyduma tugu iri se, Ni n'iri mannandi d'iri laalayaŋey.
7and there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast caused us to melt away through our iniquities.
7 Amma sohõ, ya Rabbi, ni ya iri baaba no, Iri wo botogo no, nin no ga ti iri Cinakwa. Iri kulu mo ni kambe goyo no.
8And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
8 Ya Rabbi, ma si futu gumo, Ma si fongu iri laala gaa mo hal abada. Iri ga ni ŋwaaray, ma guna ka di, Iri kulu ni jama no.
9Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
9 Ni gallu hanantey ciya saaji. Sihiyona ciya saaji, Urusalima ciya kurmu.
10Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
10 Iri windi hananta kaŋ diyaŋ ga boori, Naŋ kaŋ iri kaayey na ni sifa, danji n'a ŋwa. Hayey kulu kaŋ iri ga ba halaci mo.
11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire, and all our precious things are laid waste.
11 Ya Rabbi, ni ga suuru nda hayey din no? Ni ga dangay, ni g'iri taabandi mo kal iri hino me no?
12Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
