Isaías 64
1 ¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y descendieras, y se estremecieran las montañas ante tu Presencia!
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
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.
[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 Cuando hiciste cosas asombrosas que no esperábamos, las montañas temblaron ante tu Presencia.
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 Jamás oído oyó ni ojo vio a un ʼelohim fuera de Ti, que actúa a favor del que espera en Él.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Ahora pues, oh Yavé, Tú eres nuestro Padre. Nosotros somos la arcilla y Tú nuestro Alfarero. Todos nosotros somos la obra de tu mano.
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 No te aíres en exceso, oh Yavé. No te acuerdes para siempre de la iniquidad. Mira, te ruego, todos nosotros somos pueblo tuyo.
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 Tus santas ciudades se volvieron un desierto. Sion es un desierto, Jerusalén una desolación.
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
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.
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 ¡Oh Yavé! ¿Te retraes ante todas estas cosas? ¿Te callas, y nos afliges sin medida?
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.
