Yesaya 64
1 Sekiranya Engkau mengoyakkan langit dan Engkau turun, sehingga gunung-gunung goyang di hadapan-Mu
“[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
2 --seperti api membuat ranggas menyala-nyala dan seperti api membuat air mendidih--untuk membuat nama-Mu dikenal oleh lawan-lawan-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu,
[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.
3 karena Engkau melakukan kedahsyatan yang tidak kami harapkan, seperti tidak pernah didengar orang sejak dahulu kala!
You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
4 Tidak ada telinga yang mendengar, dan tidak ada mata yang melihat seorang allah yang bertindak bagi orang yang menanti-nantikan dia; hanya Engkau yang berbuat demikian.
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.
5 Engkau menyongsong mereka yang melakukan yang benar dan yang mengingat jalan yang Kautunjukkan! Sesungguhnya, Engkau ini murka, sebab kami berdosa; terhadap Engkau kami memberontak sejak dahulu kala.
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.
6 Demikianlah kami sekalian seperti seorang najis dan segala kesalehan kami seperti kain kotor; kami sekalian menjadi layu seperti daun dan kami lenyap oleh kejahatan kami seperti daun dilenyapkan oleh angin.
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.
7 Tidak ada yang memanggil nama-Mu atau yang bangkit untuk berpegang kepada-Mu; sebab Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu terhadap kami, dan menyerahkan kami ke dalam kekuasaan dosa kami.
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.
8 Tetapi sekarang, ya TUHAN, Engkaulah Bapa kami! Kamilah tanah liat dan Engkaulah yang membentuk kami, dan kami sekalian adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
9 Ya TUHAN, janganlah murka amat sangat dan janganlah mengingat-ingat dosa untuk seterusnya! Sesungguhnya, pandanglah kiranya, kami sekalian adalah umat-Mu.
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.
10 Kota-kota-Mu yang kudus sudah menjadi padang gurun, Sion sudah menjadi padang gurun, Yerusalem sunyi sepi.
[All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
11 Bait kami yang kudus dan agung, tempat nenek moyang kami memuji-muji Engkau, sudah menjadi umpan api, maka milik kami yang paling indah sudah menjadi reruntuhan.
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.
12 Melihat semuanya ini, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau menahan diri, masakan Engkau tinggal diam dan menindas kami amat sangat?
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.
