Isaiah 64
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
64 If only you would tear the heavens open
and come down,(A)
so that mountains would quake at your presence(B) –
2 just as fire kindles brushwood,
and fire boils water –
to make your name known to your enemies,
so that nations would tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome works(C)
that we did not expect,
you came down,(D)
and the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From ancient times no one has heard,
no one has listened to,
no eye has seen any God except you
who acts on behalf of the one who waits for him.(E)
5 You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right;
they remember you in your ways.
But we have sinned, and you were angry.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?[a]
6 All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted[b] garment;(F)
all of us wither like a leaf,(G)
and our iniquities(H) carry us away like the wind.
7 No one calls on your name,
striving to take hold of you.
For you have hidden your face from us(I)
and made us melt because of[c][d] our iniquity.
8 Yet Lord, you are our Father;(J)
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we all are the work of your hands.(K)
9 Lord, do not be terribly angry
or remember our iniquity for ever.(L)
Please look – all of us are your people!
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.(M)
11 Our holy and beautiful[e] temple,
where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned down,
and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.(N)
12 Lord, after all this, will you restrain yourself?
Will you keep silent and afflict us severely?(O)

Isaías 64
Nueva 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 puesto atención(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) en practicar la justicia(H),
De los que se acuerdan de Ti en Tus caminos(I).
Pero 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 agarrarse de Ti.
Porque has escondido Tu rostro de nosotros(P)
Y nos has entregado al[d] poder de nuestras iniquidades.
8 ¶Pero 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).
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 detendrás ante estas cosas, oh Señor?
¿Guardarás silencio y nos afligirás sin medida(AA)?

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?

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?
