Isaiah 64
1 if to tear heaven to go down from face your mountain: mount to shake
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
2 like/as to kindle fire brushwood water to enquire fire to/for to know name your to/for enemy your from face your nation to tremble
[Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
3 in/on/with to make: do you to fear: revere not to await to go down from face your mountain: mount to shake
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 and from forever: antiquity not to hear: hear not to listen eye not to see: see God exception you to make: do to/for to wait to/for him
Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
5 to fall on [obj] to rejoice and to make: do righteousness in/on/with way: conduct your to remember you look! you(m. s.) be angry and to sin in/on/with them forever: antiquity and to save
You help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
6 and to be like/as unclean all our and like/as garment filth all righteousness our and to wither like/as leaf all our and iniquity: crime our like/as spirit: breath to lift: bear us
We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
7 and nothing to call: call to in/on/with name your to rouse to/for to strengthen: hold in/on/with you for to hide face your from us and to melt us in/on/with hand: themselves iniquity: crime our
None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
8 and now LORD father our you(m. s.) we [the] clay and you(m. s.) to form: potter us and deed: work hand your all our
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 not be angry LORD till much and not to/for perpetuity to remember iniquity: crime look! to look please people your all our
Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
10 city holiness your to be wilderness Zion wilderness to be Jerusalem devastation
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
11 house: temple holiness our and beauty our which to boast: praise you father our to be to/for fire fire and all desire our to be to/for desolation
Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
12 upon these to refrain LORD be silent and to afflict us till much
Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
