Isaiæ 64

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Sicut ignis succendit sarmenta, aquam ebullire facit ignis, ut notum facias nomen tuum inimicis tuis, a facie tua gentes turbentur,	1 That thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence.
2 cum feceris mirabilia, quae non sperabamus. Descendisti, et a facie tua montes defluxerunt.	2 They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence.
3 A saeculo non audierunt, neque aures perceperunt; oculus non vidit Deum, absque te, qui operaretur pro sperantibus in eum.	3 When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away.
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.	4 From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.
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.	5 Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved.
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.	6 And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 Et nunc, Domine, pater noster es tu, nos vero lutum; et fictor noster tu, et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos.	7 There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity.
8 Ne irascaris, Domine, nimis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis; ecce, respice: populus tuus omnes nos.	8 And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands.
9 Urbes sanctitatis tuae factae sunt in desertum, Sion deserta facta est, Ierusalem desolata est.	9 Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people.
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.	10 The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate.
11 Numquid super his continebis te, Domine, tacebis et affliges nos vehementer?	11 The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins.
	12 Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently?
