Isaiah 64

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 as fire sets brushwood alight, as fire makes water boil -- to make your name known to your foes; thenations would tremble at your presence,	1 כִּקְדֹחַ אֵשׁ הֲמָסִים מַיִם תִּבְעֶה־אֵשׁ לְהֹודִיעַ שִׁמְךָ לְצָרֶיךָ מִפָּנֶיךָ גֹּויִם יִרְגָּזוּ
2 at the unexpected miracles you would do. (Oh, that you would come down, in your presence themountains would quake!)	2 בַּעֲשֹׂותְךָ נֹורָאֹות לֹא נְקַוֶּה יָרַדְתָּ מִפָּנֶיךָ הָרִים נָזֹלּוּ
3 Never has anyone heard, no ear has heard, no eye has seen any god but you act like this for the sakeof those who trust him.	3 וּמֵעֹולָם לֹא־שָׁמְעוּ לֹא הֶאֱזִינוּ עַיִן לֹא־רָאָתָה אֱלֹהִים זוּלָתְךָ יַעֲשֶׂה לִמְחַכֵּה־לֹו
4 You come to meet those who are happy to act uprightly; keeping your ways reminds them of you. Yes,you have been angry and we have been sinners; now we persist in your ways and we shal be saved.	4 פָּגַעְתָּ אֶת־שָׂשׂ וְעֹשֵׂה צֶדֶק בִּדְרָכֶיךָ יִזְכְּרוּךָ הֵן־אַתָּה קָצַפְתָּ וַנֶּחֱטָא בָּהֶם עֹולָם וְנִוָּשֵׁעַ
5 We have al been like unclean things and our upright deeds like filthy rags. We wither, al of us, likeleaves, and al our misdeeds carry us off like the wind.	5 וַנְּהִי כַטָּמֵא כֻּלָּנוּ וּכְבֶגֶד עִדִּים כָּל־צִדְקֹתֵינוּ וַנָּבֶל כֶּעָלֶה כֻּלָּנוּ וַעֲוֹנֵנוּ כָּרוּחַ יִשָּׂאֻנוּ
6 There is no one to invoke your name, to rouse himself to hold fast to you, for you have hidden your facefrom us and given us up to the power of our misdeeds.	6 וְאֵין־קֹורֵא בְשִׁמְךָ מִתְעֹורֵר לְהַחֲזִיק בָּךְ כִּי־הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ מִמֶּנּוּ וַתְּמוּגֵנוּ בְּיַד־עֲוֹנֵנוּ
7 And yet, Yahweh, you are our Father; we the clay and you our potter, al of us are the work of yourhands.	7 וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אָבִינוּ אָתָּה אֲנַחְנוּ הַחֹמֶר וְאַתָּה יֹצְרֵנוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדְךָ כֻּלָּנוּ
8 Yahweh, do not let your anger go too far and do not remember guilt for ever. Look, please, we are alyour people;	8 אַל־תִּקְצֹף יְהוָה עַד־מְאֹד וְאַל־לָעַד תִּזְכֹּר עָוֹן הֵן הַבֶּט־נָא עַמְּךָ כֻלָּנוּ
9 your holy cities have become a desert, Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem a wasteland.	9 עָרֵי קָדְשְׁךָ הָיוּ מִדְבָּר צִיֹּון מִדְבָּר הָיָתָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם שְׁמָמָה
10 Our holy and glorious Temple, in which our ancestors used to praise you, has been burnt to theground; al our delight lies in ruins.	10 בֵּית קָדְשֵׁנוּ וְתִפְאַרְתֵּנוּ אֲשֶׁר הִלְלוּךָ אֲבֹתֵינוּ הָיָה לִשְׂרֵפַת אֵשׁ וְכָל־מַחֲמַדֵּינוּ הָיָה לְחָרְבָּה
11 Yahweh, can you restrain yourself at al this? Wil you stay silent and afflict us beyond endurance?	11 הַעַל־אֵלֶּה תִתְאַפַּק יְהוָה תֶּחֱשֶׁה וּתְעַנֵּנוּ עַד־מְאֹד׃ ס
