Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
Koyakkanlah langit dan turunlah, ya TUHAN, buatlah gunung-gunung bergoncang di hadapan-Mu,
2 as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.
seperti api menyalakan kayu dan membuat air mendidih. Nyatakanlah kuasa-Mu kepada musuh-musuh-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu.
3 When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
Pernah Engkau melakukan perbuatan yang dahsyat, yang tidak kami sangka-sangka. Engkau turun, dan di hadapan-Mu gunung-gunung berguncang.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits 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 You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we 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 For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Kami semua adalah orang najis, Kami akan lenyap karena kejahatan kami seperti daun layu diterbangkan angin.
7 There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means 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, LORD, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.
Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, kami tanah liat, dan Engkau yang membentuk kami; kami semua adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
9 Do not be furious, LORD, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
Jadi janganlah marah dengan sangat, ya TUHAN, jangan lagi mengingat-ingat dosa kami; lihatlah, kami ini umat-Mu.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Kota-kota suci-Mu menyerupai padang gurun, Yerusalem menjadi padang tandus yang sepi.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
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 Will you refrain yourself for these things, LORD? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
Engkau melihat semua itu, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau tinggal diam? Apakah Engkau akan membiarkan kami menderita dengan amat sangat?
