< Isaiah 64 >

1 I wolde that thou brakist heuenes, and camest doun, that hillis fletiden awei fro thi face,
愿你裂天而降; 愿山在你面前震动—
2 and failiden as brennyng of fier, and brente in fier; that thi name were made knowun to thin enemyes, and folkis weren disturblid of thi face.
好像火烧干柴, 又像火将水烧开, 使你敌人知道你的名, 使列国在你面前发颤!
3 Whanne thou schalt do merueils, we schulen not abide. Thou camest doun, and hillis fletiden awei fro thi face.
你曾行我们不能逆料可畏的事。 那时你降临,山岭在你面前震动。
4 Fro the world thei herden not, nethir perseyueden with eeris; God, non iye siy, withouten thee, what thingis thou hast maad redi to hem that abiden thee.
从古以来,人未曾听见、未曾耳闻、未曾眼见 在你以外有什么神为等候他的人行事。
5 Thou mettist hym that is glad, and doith riytfulnesse; in thi weies thei schulen bithenke on thee. Lo! thou art wrooth, and we synneden; in tho synnes we weren euere, and we schulen be saued.
你迎接那欢喜行义、记念你道的人; 你曾发怒,我们仍犯罪; 这景况已久,我们还能得救吗?
6 And alle we ben maad as an vncleene man; alle oure riytfulnessis ben as the cloth of a womman in vncleene blood; and alle we fellen doun as a leef, and our wickidnessis as wynd han take awei vs.
我们都像不洁净的人; 所有的义都像污秽的衣服。 我们都像叶子渐渐枯干; 我们的罪孽好像风把我们吹去。
7 Noon is, that clepith thi name to help, that risith, and holdith thee; thou hast hid thi face fro vs, and thou hast hurtlid doun vs in the hond of oure wickidnesse.
并且无人求告你的名; 无人奋力抓住你。 原来你掩面不顾我们, 使我们因罪孽消化。
8 And now, Lord, thou art oure fadir; forsothe we ben cley, and thou art oure maker, and alle we ben the werkis of thin hondis.
耶和华啊,现在你仍是我们的父! 我们是泥,你是窑匠; 我们都是你手的工作。
9 Lord, be thou not wrooth ynow, and haue thou no more mynde on oure wickidnesse. Lo! Lord, biholde thou, alle we ben thi puple.
耶和华啊,求你不要大发震怒, 也不要永远记念罪孽。 求你垂顾我们, 我们都是你的百姓。
10 The citee of thi seyntuarie is forsakun, Sion is maad deseert, Jerusalem is desolat;
你的圣邑变为旷野。 锡安变为旷野; 耶路撒冷成为荒场。
11 the hous of oure halewyng and of oure glorie, where oure fadris herieden thee, is maad in to brennyng of fier; and alle oure desirable thingis ben turned in to fallyngis.
我们圣洁华美的殿— 就是我们列祖赞美你的所在被火焚烧; 我们所羡慕的美地尽都荒废。
12 Lord, whether on these thingis thou schalt witholde thee? schalt thou be stille, and schalt thou turmente vs greetli?
耶和华啊,有这些事,你还忍得住吗? 你仍静默使我们深受苦难吗?
