Isaiah 64

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

愿你裂天而降；愿山在你面前震动─

As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

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！

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

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。

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

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。

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

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？

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

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。

And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

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。

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

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。

Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

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。

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

你的圣邑变为旷野。锡安变为旷野；耶路撒冷成为荒场。

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

我们圣洁华美的殿─就是我们列祖讚美你的所在被火焚烧；我们所羨慕的美地尽都荒废。

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

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？
