Isaia 64
1 Enga anie ka hotriarinao ny lanitra mba hidinanao, ka hihorohoro eo anoloanao ny tendrombohitra,
Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 Dia tahaka ny fandevon’ ny afony tapa-kazo maina sy ny fampangotraky ny afo ny rano mba hampahafantatra ny fahavalonao ny anaranao ka hangovitra eo anoloanao ny jentilisa.
[As when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thy adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 Raha nanao zava-mahatahotra izay tsy nantenainay Hianao, dia nidina, ka nihorohoro teo anoloanao ny tendrombohitra.
When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4 Fa hatrizay hatrizay dia tsy mbola ren’ ny olona, na nohenoiny, Na hitan’ ny masony, Izay Andriamanitra miasa ho an’ ny miandry Azy afa-tsy Hianao.
For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 Mitsena izay mifaly hanao ny marina Hianao, dia izay mahatsiaro Anao amin’ ny lalanao; indro, Hianao dia tezitra, ary hita fa meloka izahay; Hatramin’ ny ela dia izany no toetray, ka dia hovonjena va?
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth, and worketh righteousness, [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 Fa samy efa tahaka ny olo-maloto izahay rehetra, ary tahaka ny lamba mihosin-drà ny fahamarinanay rehetra; Malazo tahaka ny ravina izahay rehetra, ary ny helokay mipaoka anay tahaka ny rivotra,
But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 Tsy misy miantso ny anaranao, na mifoha hifikitra aminao; fa efa nanafina ny tavanao taminay Hianao ka nandevona anay noho ny helokay.
And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 Fa ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, rainay Hianao; izahay dia tanimanga, ary Hianao no mpanefy anay, ary asan’ ny tananao izahay rehetra.
But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
9 Aza dia tezitra mafy loatra, Jehovah ô. Ary aza dia mahatsiaro heloka mandrakizay; masìna Hianao, tsinjovy, fa olonao izahay rehetra.
Be not very wroth, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people.
10 Tonga efitra ireo tanànanao masìna, Eny, tany lavavolo Ziona, ary efa lao Jerosalema.
Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Ny tranonay masìna sady mendrika, Izay nideran’ ny razanay Anao, dia voadotry ny afo, ary rava ny zavatray mahafinaritra rehetra.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Ary mbola mahatsindry fo amin’ izany zavatra izany ihany va Hianao, Jehovah ô? Hangina va Hianao ka hampahory anay mafy loatra?
Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us?
