Isaias 64
1 Oh buksan mo sana ang langit, na ikaw ay bumaba, na ang mga bundok ay gumuho sa iyong harapan.
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
2 Gaya ng kung nililiyaban ng apoy ang siitan, at ng kung pinakukulo ng apoy ang tubig; upang ipakilala ang iyong pangalan sa iyong mga kaaway, upang ang mga bansa ay manginig sa iyong harapan!
[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 Nang ikaw ay gumawa ng mga kakilakilabot na bagay na hindi namin hinihintay, ikaw ay bumaba, ang mga bundok ay gumuho sa iyong harapan.
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 Sapagka't hindi narinig ng mga tao mula nang una, o naulinigan man ng pakinig, o ang mata ay nakakita man ng Dios liban sa iyo, na iginagawa niya ng kabutihan ang naghihintay sa kaniya.
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 Iyong sinasalubong siya na nagagalak at gumagawa ng katuwiran, yaong nagsialaala sa iyo sa iyong mga daan: narito, ikaw ay napoot, at kami ay nagkasala: napasa kanila kaming malaong panahon; at maliligtas baga kami?
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 Sapagka't kaming lahat ay naging parang marumi, at ang lahat naming katuwiran ay naging parang basahang marumi: at nalalantang gaya ng dahon kaming lahat; at tinatangay kami ng aming mga kasamaan, na parang hangin.
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 At walang tumatawag ng iyong pangalan, na gumigising upang manghawak sa iyo; sapagka't ikinubli mo ang iyong mukha sa amin, at iyong pinugnaw kami sa aming mga kasamaan.
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 Nguni't ngayon, Oh Panginoon, ikaw ay aming Ama; kami ang malagkit na putik, at ikaw ay magpapalyok sa amin; at kaming lahat ay gawa ng iyong kamay.
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 Huwag kang lubhang mapoot, Oh Panginoon, o umalaala man ng kasamaan ng magpakailan man: narito, tingnan mo, isinasamo namin sa iyo, kaming lahat ay iyong bayan.
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 Ang iyong mga bayang banal ay naging ilang, ang Sion ay naging giba, ang Jerusalem ay sira.
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
11 Ang aming banal at magandang bahay, na pinagpupurihan sa iyo ng aming mga magulang ay nasunog sa apoy; at lahat naming maligayang bagay ay nasira.
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 Magpipigil ka baga sa mga bagay na ito, Oh Panginoon? ikaw baga'y tatahimik, at pagdadalamhatiin mo kaming mainam?
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.
