以賽亞書 64
1 望你衝破諸天降下，諸山在你面前震盪。
Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
2 有如火怎樣燒乾了水，火也怎樣燒毀你的敵人，好使你的敵人認識你的名，使萬民在你面前戰慄，
as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.
3 因為你行了誰也想不到的驚人事蹟；【你下降，使山嶺在你面前震盪。】
When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 是人從未聽過的，耳朵從未聽過，眼睛從未見過你以外，有一個神對依靠自己的人如此行事的。
Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5 你是歡迎那些履行正義和紀念你道路的人；但是，看，你發了怒，我們仍犯罪如初，仍照舊違叛你。
You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
6 我們都好像成了不潔的人，所行的正義好似染了經血的內衣，又似乾枯的葉子；我們的罪惡好似狂風一般將我們捲去，
For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 沒有一個呼求你名的，或奮起契合於你的，因為你掩面不顧我們，將我們委棄於我們罪惡的權下。
There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8 如今，上主啊！你是我們的父親；我們只是泥土，你是的我們的陶工，我們都是你手中的作品。
But now, LORD, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.
9 上主啊！不要嚴加忿怒，不要時常記念我們的罪惡；求你垂顧！我們都是你的子民。
Do not be furious, LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
10 你的聖城都已成了荒地，熙雍已變為曠野，耶路撒冷成 了廢墟。
Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 我們那華美的聖殿，即我們祖先讚頌你的所在，已被火焚燒，我們所喜愛的器皿都成了垃圾。
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
12 上主，對這些事你還忍得住嗎﹖你還緘默，重重難為我們嗎﹖
Will you refrain yourself for these things, LORD? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
