< Isaiah 64 >

1 Did You not tear the heavens? You came down, Mountains flowed from Your presence,
願你裂天而降; 願山在你面前震動-
2 (As fire kindles stubble—Fire causes water to boil), To make Your Name known to Your adversaries, Nations tremble from 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 In Your doing fearful things [that] we do not expect, You came down, Mountains flowed from 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 Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye has not seen a God except You, He works for those waiting 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 have met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Your ways they remember You, Behold, You have been angry when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are 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 are as unclean—all of us, And all our righteous acts [are] as garments of menstruation; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities take us away as 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 And there is none calling on Your Name, Stirring himself up to lay hold on You, For You have hid Your face from us, And You melt us away by 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 And now, O YHWH, You [are] our Father, We [are] the clay, and You [are] our Framer, And the work of Your hand—all of us.
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 angry, O YHWH, very severely, Nor remember iniquity forever, Behold, look attentively, we implore 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 have been a wilderness, Zion has been 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, Has become burned with fire, And all our desirable things have become a ruin.
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 Do You refrain Yourself for these, YHWH? You are silent, and afflict us very severely!
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?
