Isaiah 64
1 Oh that thou mightest rend the heavens, come down: at thy presence would mountains [then] melt away.
愿你裂天而降； 愿山在你面前震动—
2 As fire is kindled on brushwood, as water is made to bubble up by fire—to make thy name known to thy adversaries, that at thy presence nations might tremble!
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 [As] when thou didst fearful deeds which we had not looked for, thou camest down, [while] at thy presence mountains melted away;
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 Yea! what from the beginning of the world men had not heard, not perceived by their hearing; no eye [also] had seen a god beside thee, who could do [the like] for the one that waiteth 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 acceptest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, for we had sinned on them continually; and can we thus 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 And we are become like an unclean man all of us, and like a soiled garment, all our righteousness; and we wither like a leaf all of us; and our iniquities, like the wind, will bear 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 that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth himself up to lay hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast let us melt away, through the force 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, O Lord, our father art thou; we are the clay, and thou our fashioner; and the work of thy hand are we all.
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 wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and do not for ever remember [our] iniquity: behold, look, we beseech thee, thy people are we all.
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 are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem, a desolate place.
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 beautiful house where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire; and all our costly things are become ruins.
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 Wilt thou for these things refrain thyself, O Lord? wilt thou be silent, and afflict us so very greatly?
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？
