Isaiah 64
1 “[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y bajaras! —A tu presencia se derretirían los montes—
2 [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.
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 You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
Tú obraste cosas terribles, inesperadas; descendiste, y se derritieron los montes en tu presencia.
4 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
Mas ahora, Yahvé, Tú eres nuestro Padre; nosotros somos el barro, y Tú nuestro alfarero, obra de tus manos somos todos.
9 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.
No te enojes demasiado, Yahvé, ni te acuerdes para siempre de la iniquidad, míranos, te rogamos, que somos pueblo tuyo.
10 [All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
Tus ciudades santas se han convertido en desierto; Sión es un yermo, Jerusalén se halla asolada.
11 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.
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 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.
Y con todo esto ¿te estás quedo, Yahvé? ¿Podrás callarte y humillarnos del todo?
