1Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your 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.
2as 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!
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 you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your 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.
4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits 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?
5You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we 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.
6For 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.
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.
7There 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.
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.
8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your 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.
9Don’t be furious, Yahweh, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
9 Ni gallu hanantey ciya saaji. Sihiyona ciya saaji, Urusalima ciya kurmu.
10Your holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion has become 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 you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places 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?
12Will you refrain yourself for these things, Yahweh? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
