Isaiah 64
King James Version
64 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Isaiah 64
New King James Version
A Prayer for Help
64 Oh, that You would [a]rend the heavens!
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your (A)presence—
2 As fire burns brushwood,
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 When (B)You did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
(C)Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
(D)In these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
6 But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all (E)our righteousnesses are like [b]filthy rags;
We all (F)fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
7 And there is no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself up to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us,
And have [c]consumed us because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Lord,
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our (G)potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
9 Do not be furious, O Lord,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
10 Your holy cities are a wilderness,
Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and beautiful [d]temple,
Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned up with fire;
And all (H)our pleasant things [e]are laid waste.
12 (I)Will You restrain Yourself because of these things, O Lord?
(J)Will You [f]hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?

Isaías 64
Nueva Versión Internacional
64 ¡Oh, si rasgaras los cielos y descendieras!
¡Las montañas temblarían ante ti,
2 como cuando el fuego enciende la leña
y hace que hierva el agua!
Así darías a conocer tu nombre entre tus enemigos,
y ante ti temblarían las naciones.
3 Hiciste maravillas asombrosas cuando descendiste;
ante tu presencia temblaron las montañas.
4 Fuera de ti, desde tiempos antiguos
nadie ha escuchado ni percibido,
ni ojo alguno ha visto,
a un Dios que como tú actúe en favor de quienes en él esperan.
5 Sales al encuentro de los que, alegres,
practican la justicia y recuerdan tus caminos.
Pero te enojas si persistimos
en desviarnos de ellos.[a]
¿Cómo podremos ser salvos?
6 Todos somos como gente impura;
todos nuestros actos de justicia son como trapos de inmundicia.
Todos nos marchitamos como hojas;
nuestras iniquidades nos arrastran como el viento.
7 Nadie invoca tu nombre
ni se esfuerza por aferrarse a ti.
Pues nos has dado la espalda
y nos has entregado[b] en poder de nuestras iniquidades.
8 A pesar de todo, Señor, tú eres nuestro Padre;
nosotros somos el barro y tú el alfarero.
Todos somos obra de tu mano.
9 No te enojes demasiado, Señor;
no te acuerdes siempre de nuestras iniquidades.
¡Considera, por favor,
que todos somos tu pueblo!
10 Tus ciudades santas han quedado devastadas
y hasta Sión se ha vuelto un desierto;
Jerusalén ha quedado en ruinas.
11 Nuestro santo y glorioso Templo, donde te alababan nuestros antepasados,
ha sido devorado por el fuego.
Ha quedado en ruinas todo lo que más queríamos.
12 Ante todo esto, Señor, ¿no vas a hacer nada?
¿Vas a guardar silencio y afligirnos sin medida?
Isaias 64
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
64 Panginoon, punitin nʼyo po ang kalangitan. Bumaba kayo, at yayanig ang mga bundok kapag nakita kayo. 2 Kung papaanong ang apoy ay nakapagpapaliyab ng tuyong mga sanga at nakapagpapakulo ng tubig, ang pagdating naman ninyo ay makapagpapanginig ng mga bansang kaaway nʼyo, at malalaman nila kung sino kayo. 3 Noong bumaba po kayo at gumawa ng mga kahanga-hangang mga bagay na hindi namin inaasahan, nayanig ang mga bundok sa inyong presensya. 4 Mula noon hanggang ngayon wala pang nakarinig o nakakita ng Dios na katulad nʼyo na tumutulong sa mga nagtitiwala sa kanya. 5 Tinatanggap nʼyo ang mga nagagalak na gumawa ng matuwid at sumusunod sa inyong mga pamamaraan. Pero nagalit po kayo sa amin dahil patuloy naming sinusuway ang inyong mga pamamaraan. Kaya papaano kami maliligtas? 6 Kaming lahat ay naging parang maruming bagay, at ang lahat ng aming mabubuting gawa ay parang maruming basahan. Kaming lahat ay parang dahong natutuyo, at ang aming kasamaan ay parang hangin na tumatangay sa amin. 7 Wala kahit isa man sa amin ang humihiling at nagsusumikap na kumapit sa inyo. Sapagkat lumayo po kayo sa amin, at pinabayaan nʼyo kaming mamatay dahil sa aming mga kasalanan. 8 Pero, Panginoon, kayo pa rin ang aming Ama. Ang katulad ninyoʼy magpapalayok, at kami naman ay parang putik. Kayo ang gumawa sa aming lahat. 9 Panginoon, huwag nʼyo naman pong lubusin ang inyong galit sa amin o alalahanin ang mga kasalanan namin magpakailanman. Nakikiusap po kami sa inyo na dinggin nʼyo kami, dahil kaming lahat ay inyong mamamayan. 10 Ang mga banal nʼyong lungsod, pati ang Jerusalem ay naging parang ilang na walang naninirahan. 11 Nasunog ang aming banal at magandang templo, kung saan po kayo sinasamba ng aming mga ninuno. Nawasak ang lahat ng bagay na mahalaga sa amin. 12 Sa kalagayan naming ito, Panginoon, kami po ba ay ayaw nʼyo pa ring tulungan? Kayo po ba ay tatahimik na lamang, at parurusahan kami ng lubusan?
