Isaiah 64
1 O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,
utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent
2 As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;
sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur
3 While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.
cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt
4 The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen, ... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him.
a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te
5 Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.
occurristi laetanti et facienti iustitiam in viis tuis recordabuntur tui ecce tu iratus es et peccavimus in ipsis fuimus semper et salvabimur
6 For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.
et facti sumus ut inmundus omnes nos quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae et cecidimus quasi folium universi et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos
7 And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.
non est qui invocet nomen tuum qui consurgat et teneat te abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et adlisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae
8 But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the earth, and you are our maker; and we are all the work of your hand.
et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos
9 Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.
ne irascaris Domine satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos
10 Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.
civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata
11 Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.
domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri facta est in exustionem ignis et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas
12 In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?
numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
