ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

64:1
ወእመሰ፡ አርኀውከ፡ ሰማየ፡ ይርዕዱ፡ አድባር፡ እምኔከ፡ ወይትወሰዉ።
Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
好像火燒乾柴， 又像火將水燒開， 使你敵人知道你的名， 使列國在你面前發顫！
64:3
ወሶበሂ፡ ገበርከ፡ ስብሐቲከ፡ ይርዕዱ፡ አድባር።
When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
從古以來，人未曾聽見、未曾耳聞、未曾眼見 在你以外有甚麼神為等候他的人行事。
64:5
ወይረክቡከ፡ እለ፡ ይትዔገሡ፡ በጽድቅከ፡ ወእለ፡ ይዜከሩ፡ ፍኖተከ።
You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
