Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
望你衝破諸天降下，諸山在你面前震盪。
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
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，
3 When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
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。】
4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
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。
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
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。
6 For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
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，
7 There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
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。
8 But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
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。
9 Do not be furious, LORD. Do not remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
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。
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
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。
11 Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
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。
12 Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
上主，對這些事你還忍得住嗎﹖你還緘默，重重難為我們嗎﹖
