Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down at your presence,
願你裂天而降； 願山在你面前震動－
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
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 did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at 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 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits for him.
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 meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall 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 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
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 And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
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 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
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 Be not angry very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we plead to you, 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 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
你的聖邑變為曠野。 錫安變為曠野； 耶路撒冷成為荒場。
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
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 Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?
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？
