以賽亞書 64
1 願你裂天而降； 願山在你面前震動－
O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,
2 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！
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 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。
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 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。
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？
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。
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 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。
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 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。
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 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。
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 你的聖邑變為曠野。 錫安變為曠野； 耶路撒冷成為荒場。
Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.
11 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。
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 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？
In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?
