Isaias 64
1 “O, no koma ta ginudwam ti langit ket bimmabaka! Nagkintayeg koma dagiti bantay iti presensiam,
If only you would rip the heavens apart and come down! The mountains would tremble in your presence!
2 a kas iti mapasamak no pasgedan ti apuy ti nagango a kayo, wenno pagbureken ti apuy ti danum. Tapno maammoan dagiti kabusormo ti naganmo, ken agpigerger dagiti nasion iti presensiam!
In the same way that fire burns wood and makes the water boil, make your reputation known to your enemies, so that nations will tremble in your presence!
3 Iti napalabas, idi nagaramidka kadagiti nakaskasdaaw a saanmi a ninamnama, bimmabaka, ket nagpigerger dagiti bantay iti presensiam.
In the past you did things we weren't anticipating. You came down and the mountains trembled in your presence!
4 Sipud pay idi un-una a tiempo, awan ti nakangngeg wenno nakaammo, kasta met nga awan ti mata a nakakita iti aniaman a Dios no di laeng sika, nga agar-aramid kadagiti banbanag a maipaay kenkuana nga agtaltalek kenka.
Since the beginning, no one has heard about, no one has paid attention to, and no one has seen any God except you, the one who helps those who place their confidence in you.
5 Umaymo tultulungan dagiti agragrag-o iti panagar-aramidda iti umno, dagiti manglaglagip kadagiti wagasmo ken agtultulnog kadagitoy. Nakaungetka idi nagbasolkami. Kadagiti wagasmo, kanayon a mais-ispalkami.
You join with those who are glad, and with those who do what's right and remember to follow your ways. But when we went on sinning, you became angry. How can we be saved if we go on like this?
6 Ta nagbalinkami amin a kasla iti narugit, ken dagiti amin a nalinteg nga aramidmi ket kasla iti pasador. Aminkami ket nalaylay a kasla bulbulong; dagiti nagbasolanmi ket kasla iti angin a mangitayab kadakami.
We've all become unclean, and all the good things we do are like dirty rags. We wither and die like autumn leaves, and our sins, like the wind, blow us away.
7 Awan iti umaw-awag iti naganmo, a mangikagumaan a kumpet kenka; ta inlemmengmo ti rupam kadakami ken inyawatnakami kadagiti basbasolmi.
There's no one who calls for you or really wants to hold onto you, because you have hidden your face from us and let us drown in our own sins.
8 Nupay kasta, O Yahweh, sika ti amami; dakami ti pitak. Sika ti agdamdamili kadakami; dakami amin ket aramid ti imam.
But you, Lord, are our Father. We're the clay, you're the potter. You made us all with your own hands.
9 Saanka kadi unay a makaunget, O Yahweh, saanmo kadi a lagipen a kanayon dagiti basbasolmi. Pangngaasim ta kitaennakami amin, a tattaom.
Please limit your anger, Lord, and don't remember our sins forever. Look at us, and see that we are all your people.
10 Nagbalin a let-ang dagiti nasantoan a siudadmo; nagbalin a let-ang ti Sion, nagbalin a langalang ti Jerusalem.
Your holy cities have been turned into a wilderness; Zion has become a desert; yes, even Jerusalem is an abandoned ruin.
11 Ti nasantoan ken napintas a templomi, a nagdaydayawan kenka dagiti ammami, ket dinadael ti apuy, ken amin a napateg kadakami ket nadadael.
Our beautiful, holy Temple where our forefathers praised you has been burned down, and all that we treasured has been destroyed.
12 Kasano a mabaelam pay laeng ti agkedked, O Yahweh? Kasano a mabaelam ti agtalinaed a siuulimek ken itultuloynakami nga ibabain?”
In view of all this, are you still going to refuse to help us? Are you going to stay quiet and punish us so severely?
