Isaiah 64
1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.
願你裂天而降； 願山在你面前震動－
2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.
好像火燒乾柴， 又像火將水燒開， 使你敵人知道你的名， 使列國在你面前發顫！
3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.
你曾行我們不能逆料可畏的事。 那時你降臨，山嶺在你面前震動。
4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
從古以來，人未曾聽見、未曾耳聞、未曾眼見 在你以外有甚麼神為等候他的人行事。
5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.
你迎接那歡喜行義、記念你道的人； 你曾發怒，我們仍犯罪； 這景況已久，我們還能得救嗎？
6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.
我們都像不潔淨的人； 所有的義都像污穢的衣服。 我們都像葉子漸漸枯乾； 我們的罪孽好像風把我們吹去。
7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.
並且無人求告你的名； 無人奮力抓住你。 原來你掩面不顧我們， 使我們因罪孽消化。
8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.
耶和華啊，現在你仍是我們的父！ 我們是泥，你是窯匠； 我們都是你手的工作。
9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.
耶和華啊，求你不要大發震怒， 也不要永遠記念罪孽。 求你垂顧我們， 我們都是你的百姓。
10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.
你的聖邑變為曠野。 錫安變為曠野； 耶路撒冷成為荒場。
11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.
我們聖潔華美的殿－ 就是我們列祖讚美你的所在被火焚燒； 我們所羨慕的美地盡都荒廢。
12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?
耶和華啊，有這些事，你還忍得住嗎？ 你仍靜默使我們深受苦難嗎？
