Isaiah 64

1 I wish that you would rend the heavens, and then descend! The mountains would flow away before your face.

Koyakkanlah langit dan turunlah, ya TUHAN, buatlah gunung-gunung bergoncang di hadapan-Mu,

2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face.

seperti api menyalakan kayu dan membuat air mendidih. Nyatakanlah kuasa-Mu kepada musuh-musuh-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu.

3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence.

Pernah Engkau melakukan perbuatan yang dahsyat, yang tidak kami sangka-sangka. Engkau turun, dan di hadapan-Mu gunung-gunung berguncang.

4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.

Belum pernah ada yang mendengar, dan belum pernah ada yang melihat bahwa selain Engkau, ada ilah yang bertindak, bagi orang yang berharap kepadanya.

5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved.

Engkau menyongsong orang yang jujur dan yang hidup menurut kehendak-Mu. Engkau marah kepada kami, tetapi kami tetap berdosa memang sejak dahulu kami bersalah.

6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind.

Kami semua adalah orang najis, Kami akan lenyap karena kejahatan kami seperti daun layu diterbangkan angin.

7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity.

Tak ada yang berdoa kepada-Mu, atau minta pertolongan-Mu, sebab Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu dari kami, dan membiarkan kami dibinasakan oleh dosa kami.

8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands.

Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, kami tanah liat, dan Engkau yang membentuk kami; kami semua adalah buatan tangan-Mu.

9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people.

Jadi janganlah marah dengan sangat, ya TUHAN, jangan lagi mengingat-ingat dosa kami; lihatlah, kami ini umat-Mu.

10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate.

Kota-kota suci-Mu menyerupai padang gurun, Yerusalem menjadi padang tandus yang sepi.

11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins.

Rumah Allah yang suci dan agung tempat leluhur kami memuji-muji Engkau, sudah dimusnahkan oleh api; semua tempat yang kami sukai sudah menjadi reruntuhan.

12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently?

Engkau melihat semua itu, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau tinggal diam? Apakah Engkau akan membiarkan kami menderita dengan amat sangat?
