Isaiah 64
1 Oh that thou would rend the heavens, that thou would come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,
愿你裂天而降； 愿山在你面前震动—
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
好像火烧干柴， 又像火将水烧开， 使你敌人知道你的名， 使列国在你面前发颤！
3 When thou did fearful things which we did not look for, thou came down; the mountains quaked at thy presence.
你曾行我们不能逆料可畏的事。 那时你降临，山岭在你面前震动。
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides thee, what he has prepared for him who waits for him.
从古以来，人未曾听见、未曾耳闻、未曾眼见 在你以外有什么神为等候他的人行事。
5 Thou meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember thee in thy ways. Behold, thou were angry, and we sinned. Therefore we have erred.
你迎接那欢喜行义、记念你道的人； 你曾发怒，我们仍犯罪； 这景况已久，我们还能得救吗？
6 For we have all become as unclean, and all our righteous acts are as a polluted garment. And we all fade as a leaf. And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
我们都像不洁净的人； 所有的义都像污秽的衣服。 我们都像叶子渐渐枯干； 我们的罪孽好像风把我们吹去。
7 And there is none who calls upon thy name, who stirs himself up to take hold of thee. For thou have hid thy face from us, and have consumed us through our iniquities.
并且无人求告你的名； 无人奋力抓住你。 原来你掩面不顾我们， 使我们因罪孽消化。
8 But now, O Jehovah, thou are our Father. We are the clay, and thou our potter, and we are all the work of thy hand.
耶和华啊，现在你仍是我们的父！ 我们是泥，你是窑匠； 我们都是你手的工作。
9 Be not angry very severely, O Jehovah, nor remember iniquity forever. Behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
耶和华啊，求你不要大发震怒， 也不要永远记念罪孽。 求你垂顾我们， 我们都是你的百姓。
10 Thy holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
你的圣邑变为旷野。 锡安变为旷野； 耶路撒冷成为荒场。
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire, and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
我们圣洁华美的殿— 就是我们列祖赞美你的所在被火焚烧； 我们所羡慕的美地尽都荒废。
12 Will thou restrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah? Will thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very severely?
耶和华啊，有这些事，你还忍得住吗？ 你仍静默使我们深受苦难吗？
