以賽亞書 64
1 望你衝破諸天降下，諸山在你面前震盪。
O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,
2 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，
As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;
3 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。】
While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.
4 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。
The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen, ... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him.
5 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。
Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.
6 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，
For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.
7 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。
And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.
8 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。
But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the earth, and you are our maker; and we are all the work of your hand.
9 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。
Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.
10 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。
Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.
11 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。
Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.
12 上主，對這些事你還忍得住嗎﹖你還緘默，重重難為我們嗎﹖
In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?
