Isaiah 64
1 Oh that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
願你裂天而降； 願山在你面前震動－
2 [As when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thy adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at thy 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 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy 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 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth 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 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth, and worketh righteousness, [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be 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 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
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 that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of 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 But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
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 Be not very wroth, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy 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 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is 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 thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
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 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us?
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？
