Isaías 64
1 ¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y descendieras, y se estremecieran las montañas ante tu Presencia!
I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
2 Como fuego abrasador de fundiciones que hierve el agua, para que des a conocer tu Nombre a tus enemigos y tiemblen las naciones ante tu Presencia.
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.
3 Cuando hiciste cosas asombrosas que no esperábamos, las montañas temblaron ante tu Presencia.
When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
4 Jamás oído oyó ni ojo vio a un ʼelohim fuera de Ti, que actúa a favor del que espera en Él.
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.
5 Sales a encontrarte con aquel que con gozo practica la justicia, del que tiene presentes tus caminos. Ciertamente, Tú te airaste cuando pecamos. En los pecados estuvimos largo tiempo. ¿Y seremos salvados?
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.
6 Todos nosotros somos como suciedad, todas nuestras obras de justicia como trapo de menstruo. Todos nosotros nos marchitamos como hojas, y nuestras iniquidades nos arrastran como el viento.
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.
7 No hay quien invoque tu Nombre, que despierte para apoyarse en Ti, porque ocultaste tu rostro de nosotros, y nos entregaste al poder de nuestras iniquidades.
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.
8 Ahora pues, oh Yavé, Tú eres nuestro Padre. Nosotros somos la arcilla y Tú nuestro Alfarero. Todos nosotros somos la obra de tu mano.
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.
9 No te aíres en exceso, oh Yavé. No te acuerdes para siempre de la iniquidad. Mira, te ruego, todos nosotros somos pueblo tuyo.
Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
10 Tus santas ciudades se volvieron un desierto. Sion es un desierto, Jerusalén una desolación.
The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
11 La Casa de nuestro Santuario y de nuestro esplendor, en la cual te alabaron nuestros antepasados, fue consumida por el fuego. Todas nuestras cosas preciosas fueron destruidas.
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.
12 ¡Oh Yavé! ¿Te retraes ante todas estas cosas? ¿Te callas, y nos afliges sin medida?
Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
