以赛亚书 64

1 愿你裂天而降； 愿山在你面前震动—

Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,

2 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！

as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence.

3 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。

When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.

4 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。

Since ancient times no one has heard, and no ear has perceived, and no eye has seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

5 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？

You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Look, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?

6 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。

For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

7 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。

There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

8 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。

But now, YHWH, you are our Father, and we are clay, and you are our potter; and we all are the work of your hands.

9 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。

Do not be furious, YHWH, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.

10 你的圣邑变为旷野。 锡安变为旷野； 耶路撒冷成为荒场。

Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become like a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

11 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。

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.

12 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？

Will you refrain yourself for these things, YHWH? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
