Isaías 64
La Biblia de las Américas
64 [a]¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y descendieras(A),
si los montes se estremecieran ante tu presencia(B)
2 [b](como el fuego enciende el matorral, como el fuego hace hervir el agua),
para dar a conocer tu nombre a tus adversarios,
para que ante tu presencia tiemblen las naciones(C)!
3 Cuando hiciste cosas terribles que no esperábamos(D),
y descendiste, los montes se estremecieron ante tu presencia.
4 Desde la antigüedad no habían escuchado ni dado oídos(E),
ni el ojo había visto a un Dios fuera de ti
que obrara a favor del que esperaba en Él(F).
5 Sales al encuentro del que se regocija(G) y practica la justicia(H),
de los que se acuerdan de ti en tus caminos(I).
He aquí, te enojaste porque pecamos(J);
continuamos en los pecados[c] por mucho tiempo,
¿y seremos salvos?
6 Todos nosotros somos como el inmundo(K),
y como trapo de inmundicia todas nuestras obras justas(L);
todos nos marchitamos como una hoja(M),
y nuestras iniquidades(N), como el viento, nos arrastran.
7 Y no hay quien invoque tu nombre(O),
quien se despierte para asirse de ti;
porque has escondido tu rostro de nosotros(P)
y nos has entregado al[d] poder de nuestras iniquidades.
8 Mas ahora, oh Señor, tú eres nuestro Padre(Q),
nosotros el barro, y tú nuestro alfarero(R);
obra de tus manos(S) somos todos nosotros.
9 No te enojes en exceso(T), oh Señor,
ni para siempre te acuerdes de la iniquidad(U);
he aquí, mira, te rogamos, todos nosotros somos tu pueblo(V).
10 Tus ciudades santas(W) se han vuelto un desierto;
Sión se ha convertido en un desierto,
Jerusalén en una desolación(X).
11 Nuestra casa santa y hermosa(Y)
donde te alababan nuestros padres,
ha sido quemada por el fuego
y todas nuestras cosas preciosas se han convertido en ruinas(Z).
12 ¿Te contendrás ante estas cosas, oh Señor?
¿Guardarás silencio y nos afligirás sin medida(AA)?

Isaiah 64
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
64 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,
so that the mountains would quake at your presence—
2 [a] as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
so that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From ages past no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.
5 You meet those who gladly do right,
those who remember you in your ways.
But you were angry, and we sinned;
because you hid yourself we transgressed.[b]
6 We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth.
We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 There is no one who calls on your name,
or attempts to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have delivered[c] us into the hand of our iniquity.
8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
9 Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord,
and do not remember iniquity for ever.
Now consider, we are all your people.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and beautiful house,
where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 After all this, will you restrain yourself, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and punish us so severely?

Isaiah 64
New International Version
64 [a]Oh, that you would rend the heavens(A) and come down,(B)
that the mountains(C) would tremble before you!
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(D) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(E) before you!
3 For when you did awesome(F) things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled(G) before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(H)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(I)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(J)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(K)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(L)
and all our righteous(M) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(N)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(O)
7 No one(P) calls on your name(Q)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(R) your face from us
and have given us over(S) to[b] our sins.
8 Yet you, Lord, are our Father.(T)
We are the clay, you are the potter;(U)
we are all the work of your hand.(V)
9 Do not be angry(W) beyond measure, Lord;
do not remember our sins(X) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
for we are all your people.(Y)
10 Your sacred cities(Z) have become a wasteland;
even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.(AA)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,(AB) where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire,
and all that we treasured(AC) lies in ruins.
12 After all this, Lord, will you hold yourself back?(AD)
Will you keep silent(AE) and punish us beyond measure?
