Isaiah 64

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.	1 Sicut ignis succendit sarmenta, aquam ebullire facit ignis, ut notum facias nomen tuum inimicis tuis, a facie tua gentes turbentur,
2 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.	2 cum feceris mirabilia, quae non sperabamus. Descendisti, et a facie tua montes defluxerunt.
3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.	3 A saeculo non audierunt, neque aures perceperunt; oculus non vidit Deum, absque te, qui operaretur pro sperantibus in eum.
4 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.	4 Occurris laetanti, facienti iustitiam et his, qui in viis tuis recordantur tui. Ecce tu iratus es, et peccavimus; in ipsis a saeculo nos salvabimur.
5 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.	5 Et facti sumus ut immundus omnes nos, et quasi pannus inquinatus universae iustitiae nostrae; et marcuimus quasi folium universi, et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos.
6 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.	6 Non est qui invocet nomen tuum, qui consurgat et adhaereat tibi, quia abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et dissolvisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae.
7 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.	7 Et nunc, Domine, pater noster es tu, nos vero lutum; et fictor noster tu, et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos.
8 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.	8 Ne irascaris, Domine, nimis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis; ecce, respice: populus tuus omnes nos.
9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.	9 Urbes sanctitatis tuae factae sunt in desertum, Sion deserta facta est, Ierusalem desolata est.
10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.	10 Domus sanctitatis nostrae et gloriae nostrae, ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri, facta est in exustionem ignis, et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas.
11 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.	11 Numquid super his continebis te, Domine, tacebis et affliges nos vehementer?
12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
