Isaiah 64
1 “[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
望你衝破諸天降下，諸山在你面前震盪。
2 [Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
有如火怎樣燒乾了水，火也怎樣燒毀你的敵人，好使你的敵人認識你的名，使萬民在你面前戰慄，
3 You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
因為你行了誰也想不到的驚人事蹟；【你下降，使山嶺在你面前震盪。】
4 Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
是人從未聽過的，耳朵從未聽過，眼睛從未見過你以外，有一個神對依靠自己的人如此行事的。
5 You help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
你是歡迎那些履行正義和紀念你道路的人；但是，看，你發了怒，我們仍犯罪如初，仍照舊違叛你。
6 We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
我們都好像成了不潔的人，所行的正義好似染了經血的內衣，又似乾枯的葉子；我們的罪惡好似狂風一般將我們捲去，
7 None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
沒有一個呼求你名的，或奮起契合於你的，因為你掩面不顧我們，將我們委棄於我們罪惡的權下。
8 Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
如今，上主啊！你是我們的父親；我們只是泥土，你是的我們的陶工，我們都是你手中的作品。
9 Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
上主啊！不要嚴加忿怒，不要時常記念我們的罪惡；求你垂顧！我們都是你的子民。
10 [All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
你的聖城都已成了荒地，熙雍已變為曠野，耶路撒冷成 了廢墟。
11 Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
我們那華美的聖殿，即我們祖先讚頌你的所在，已被火焚燒，我們所喜愛的器皿都成了垃圾。
12 Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
上主，對這些事你還忍得住嗎﹖你還緘默，重重難為我們嗎﹖
