Isaiah 64
1 Oh that thou mightest rend the heavens, come down: at thy presence would mountains [then] melt away.
Koyakkanlah langit dan turunlah, ya TUHAN, buatlah gunung-gunung bergoncang di hadapan-Mu,
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!
seperti api menyalakan kayu dan membuat air mendidih. Nyatakanlah kuasa-Mu kepada musuh-musuh-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu.
3 [As] when thou didst fearful deeds which we had not looked for, thou camest down, [while] at thy presence mountains melted away;
Pernah Engkau melakukan perbuatan yang dahsyat, yang tidak kami sangka-sangka. Engkau turun, dan di hadapan-Mu gunung-gunung berguncang.
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.
Belum pernah ada yang mendengar, dan belum pernah ada yang melihat bahwa selain Engkau, ada ilah yang bertindak, bagi orang yang berharap kepadanya.
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?
Engkau menyongsong orang yang jujur dan yang hidup menurut kehendak-Mu. Engkau marah kepada kami, tetapi kami tetap berdosa memang sejak dahulu kami bersalah.
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.
Kami semua adalah orang najis, Kami akan lenyap karena kejahatan kami seperti daun layu diterbangkan angin.
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.
Tak ada yang berdoa kepada-Mu, atau minta pertolongan-Mu, sebab Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu dari kami, dan membiarkan kami dibinasakan oleh dosa kami.
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.
Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, kami tanah liat, dan Engkau yang membentuk kami; kami semua adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
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.
Jadi janganlah marah dengan sangat, ya TUHAN, jangan lagi mengingat-ingat dosa kami; lihatlah, kami ini umat-Mu.
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem, a desolate place.
Kota-kota suci-Mu menyerupai padang gurun, Yerusalem menjadi padang tandus yang sepi.
11 Our holy and beautiful house where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire; and all our costly things are become ruins.
Rumah Allah yang suci dan agung tempat leluhur kami memuji-muji Engkau, sudah dimusnahkan oleh api; semua tempat yang kami sukai sudah menjadi reruntuhan.
12 Wilt thou for these things refrain thyself, O Lord? wilt thou be silent, and afflict us so very greatly?
Engkau melihat semua itu, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau tinggal diam? Apakah Engkau akan membiarkan kami menderita dengan amat sangat?
