Isaia 64
1 Enga anie ka hotriarinao ny lanitra mba hidinanao, ka hihorohoro eo anoloanao ny tendrombohitra,
If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
2 Dia tahaka ny fandevon’ ny afony tapa-kazo maina sy ny fampangotraky ny afo ny rano mba hampahafantatra ny fahavalonao ny anaranao ka hangovitra eo anoloanao ny jentilisa.
as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
3 Raha nanao zava-mahatahotra izay tsy nantenainay Hianao, dia nidina, ka nihorohoro teo anoloanao ny tendrombohitra.
When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
4 Fa hatrizay hatrizay dia tsy mbola ren’ ny olona, na nohenoiny, Na hitan’ ny masony, Izay Andriamanitra miasa ho an’ ny miandry Azy afa-tsy Hianao.
From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
5 Mitsena izay mifaly hanao ny marina Hianao, dia izay mahatsiaro Anao amin’ ny lalanao; indro, Hianao dia tezitra, ary hita fa meloka izahay; Hatramin’ ny ela dia izany no toetray, ka dia hovonjena va?
You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
6 Fa samy efa tahaka ny olo-maloto izahay rehetra, ary tahaka ny lamba mihosin-drà ny fahamarinanay rehetra; Malazo tahaka ny ravina izahay rehetra, ary ny helokay mipaoka anay tahaka ny rivotra,
Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
7 Tsy misy miantso ny anaranao, na mifoha hifikitra aminao; fa efa nanafina ny tavanao taminay Hianao ka nandevona anay noho ny helokay.
No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
8 Fa ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, rainay Hianao; izahay dia tanimanga, ary Hianao no mpanefy anay, ary asan’ ny tananao izahay rehetra.
But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
9 Aza dia tezitra mafy loatra, Jehovah ô. Ary aza dia mahatsiaro heloka mandrakizay; masìna Hianao, tsinjovy, fa olonao izahay rehetra.
Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
10 Tonga efitra ireo tanànanao masìna, Eny, tany lavavolo Ziona, ary efa lao Jerosalema.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Ny tranonay masìna sady mendrika, Izay nideran’ ny razanay Anao, dia voadotry ny afo, ary rava ny zavatray mahafinaritra rehetra.
Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
12 Ary mbola mahatsindry fo amin’ izany zavatra izany ihany va Hianao, Jehovah ô? Hangina va Hianao ka hampahory anay mafy loatra?
After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
