Yesaya 64
1 Koyakkanlah langit dan turunlah, ya TUHAN, buatlah gunung-gunung bergoncang di hadapan-Mu,
If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,
2 seperti api menyalakan kayu dan membuat air mendidih. Nyatakanlah kuasa-Mu kepada musuh-musuh-Mu, sehingga bangsa-bangsa gemetar di hadapan-Mu.
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,
3 Pernah Engkau melakukan perbuatan yang dahsyat, yang tidak kami sangka-sangka. Engkau turun, dan di hadapan-Mu gunung-gunung berguncang.
whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.
4 Belum pernah ada yang mendengar, dan belum pernah ada yang melihat bahwa selain Engkau, ada ilah yang bertindak, bagi orang yang berharap kepadanya.
From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which you will perform to them that wait for mercy.
5 Engkau menyongsong orang yang jujur dan yang hidup menurut kehendak-Mu. Engkau marah kepada kami, tetapi kami tetap berdosa memang sejak dahulu kami bersalah.
For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,
6 Kami semua adalah orang najis, Kami akan lenyap karena kejahatan kami seperti daun layu diterbangkan angin.
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].
7 Tak ada yang berdoa kepada-Mu, atau minta pertolongan-Mu, sebab Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu dari kami, dan membiarkan kami dibinasakan oleh dosa kami.
And there is none that calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you: for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.
8 Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah Bapa kami, kami tanah liat, dan Engkau yang membentuk kami; kami semua adalah buatan tangan-Mu.
And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of your hands.
9 Jadi janganlah marah dengan sangat, ya TUHAN, jangan lagi mengingat-ingat dosa kami; lihatlah, kami ini umat-Mu.
Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all your people.
10 Kota-kota suci-Mu menyerupai padang gurun, Yerusalem menjadi padang tandus yang sepi.
The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.
11 Rumah Allah yang suci dan agung tempat leluhur kami memuji-muji Engkau, sudah dimusnahkan oleh api; semua tempat yang kami sukai sudah menjadi reruntuhan.
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.
12 Engkau melihat semua itu, ya TUHAN, masakan Engkau tinggal diam? Apakah Engkau akan membiarkan kami menderita dengan amat sangat?
And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and have brought us very low.
