以賽亞書 64
1 望你衝破諸天降下，諸山在你面前震盪。
Would that thou hadst rent the heavens, hadst come down,
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，
At thy presence, had mountains, quaked: As fire kindleth brushwood, [As] fire causeth, water, to boil, So if thou wouldst make known thy Name to thine adversaries, At thy presence, nations, would tremble.
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 thou didst fearful things we could not expect, Thou camest down at thy presence, mountains, quaked.
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。
Although from age-past times It was never heard, It was not perceived by the ear, —Neither did, the eye, ever see—That, a god besides thee, could work for the man who waited 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。
Yet didst thou meet Him who was rejoicing and working righteousness, Even them who in thy ways, remembered thee, —Lo! thou, hast been vexed, And truly we had sinned, Among them, was the prospect of an age [to come], That we might 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，
But we have become as one unclean all of us, And, as a garment polluted, were all our righteous doings, —And so we faded like a leaf all of us, And, our iniquity, as a wind, carried 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。
And there was none To call upon thy Name, To rouse himself to lay firm hold on thee, —For thou hadst hidden thy face from us, And hadst made us despond, by means of our iniquity.
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, O Yahweh, our father, thou art, —We are the clay, and, thou, art our potter, Yea the work of thy hand, are we all:
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 indignant, O Yahweh so very greatly, Neither perpetually, do thou recall iniquity, —Lo! look around, we pray thee…thy people, are, we all.
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。
Thy holy cities, have become a wilderness, —Zion, a wilderness, hath become, 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 thee, Hath become a conflagration, —And, all our delightful places, are in ruins!
12 上主，對這些事你還忍得住嗎﹖你還緘默，重重難為我們嗎﹖
In view of these things, wilt thou restrain thyself. O Yahweh? Wilt thou hold thy peace and humble us so very greatly?
