< Isaiah 64 >

1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your 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 water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your 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 you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your 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, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works 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 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 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 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.
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, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your 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 Do not be furious, LORD. Do not remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your 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 Your 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 you is burned with fire. 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 you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish 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?
