Isaías 64

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 como prende el fuego en la hojarasca, como el fuego hace hervir al agua - para dar a conocer tu nombre a tus adversarios, y hacer temblar a las naciones ante ti,	1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
2 haciendo tú cosas terribles, inesperadas. (Tú descendiste: ante tu faz, los montes se derretirán.)	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.
3 Nunca se oyó. No se oyó decir, ni se escuchó, ni ojo vio a un Dios, sino a ti, que tal hiciese para el que espera en él.	3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
4 Te haces encontradizo de quienes se alegran y practican justicia y recuerdan tus caminos. He aquí que estuviste enojado, pero es que fuimos pecadores; estamos para siempre en tu camino y nos salvaremos.	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.
5 Somos como impuros todos nosotros, como paño inmundo todas nuestras obras justas. Caímos como la hoja todos nosotros, y nuestras culpas como el viento nos llevaron.	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.
6 No hay quien invoque tu nombre, quien se despierte para asirse a ti. Pues encubriste tu rostro de nosotros, y nos dejaste a merced de nuestras culpas.	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.
7 Pues bien, Yahveh, tú eres nuestro Padre. Nosotros la arcilla, y tú nuestro alfarero, la hechura de tus manos todos nosotros.	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.
8 No te irrites, Yahveh, demasiado, ni para siempre recuerdes la culpa. Ea, mira, todos nosotros somos tu pueblo.	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.
9 Tus ciudades santas han quedado desiertas, Sión desierta ha quedado, Jerusalén desolada.	9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
10 Nuestra Casa santa y gloriosa, en donde te alabaron nuestros padres, ha parado en hoguera de fuego, y todas nuestras cosas más queridas han parado en ruinas.	10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
11 ¿Es que ante esto te endurecerás, Yahveh, callarás y nos humillarás sin medida?	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.
	12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
