Isaiah 64
1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y bajaras! —A tu presencia se derretirían los montes—
2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
cual fuego que enciende la leña seca, cual fuego que hace hervir el agua, para manifestar a tus enemigos tú Nombre, y hacer temblar ante Ti los gentiles.
3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
Tú obraste cosas terribles, inesperadas; descendiste, y se derritieron los montes en tu presencia.
4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
Porque nadie oyó, ningún oído percibió y ningún ojo ha visto a (otro) Dios, fuera de Ti, que obre así con los que en Él confían.
5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.
Sales al encuentro del que con gozo practica la justicia; del que siguiendo tus caminos se acuerda de Ti; mas ahora estás enojado, por cuanto hemos cometido pecados, los de siempre; pero seremos salvos.
6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.
Todos somos como un impuro, y cual trapo inmundo son todas nuestras justicias; nos marchitamos todos como las hojas, y nuestras iniquidades nos han arrebatado como el viento.
7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.
No hay quien invoque tu nombre, nadie se levanta para adherirse a Ti, pues nos has escondido tu rostro, y nos has entregado a nuestras maldades.
8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.
Mas ahora, Yahvé, Tú eres nuestro Padre; nosotros somos el barro, y Tú nuestro alfarero, obra de tus manos somos todos.
9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
No te enojes demasiado, Yahvé, ni te acuerdes para siempre de la iniquidad, míranos, te rogamos, que somos pueblo tuyo.
10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
Tus ciudades santas se han convertido en desierto; Sión es un yermo, Jerusalén se halla asolada.
11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.
Nuestra Casa tan santa y tan gloriosa, donde nuestros padres te alababan, ha sido pasto del fuego, y todo lo que nos era precioso, se ha trocado en ruinas.
12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
Y con todo esto ¿te estás quedo, Yahvé? ¿Podrás callarte y humillarnos del todo?
