Isaiah 64

1 If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,

1 愿你裂天而降， 愿群山在你面前颤抖，

2 as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!

2 使敌人认识你的威名， 使列国在你面前颤抖， 如火烧干柴使水沸腾。

3 When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.

3 你曾降临，行超乎我们预料的可畏之事， 那时群山在你面前颤抖。

4 From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.

4 自古以来，人耳未曾听闻， 人眼也未曾见过除你之外的任何神明为信奉者行奇事。

5 You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?

5 你眷顾乐于行义、遵行你旨意的人。 我们不断地犯罪惹你发怒， 我们怎能得救呢？

6 Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

6 我们都像污秽的人， 我们的义行不过像染了经血的衣服， 我们如叶子渐渐枯干， 我们的罪恶如风一样把我们吹去。

7 No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.

7 无人呼求你， 无人紧紧依靠你， 因为你掩面不理我们， 让我们在自己的罪中灭亡。

8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.

8 但耶和华啊，你是我们的父亲。 我们是陶泥，你是窑匠， 我们都是你亲手所造的。

9 Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!

9 耶和华啊，求你不要大发烈怒， 不要永远记着我们的罪恶。 我们都是你的子民， 求你垂顾我们。

10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.

10 你的众圣城已沦为荒场， 锡安已沦为荒场， 耶路撒冷已沦为废墟。

11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.

11 我们那圣洁、华美的殿，就是我们祖先颂赞你的地方已被焚毁， 我们珍爱的一切都被摧毁。

12 After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

12 耶和华啊，你对这些事怎能坐视不理呢？ 你仍然保持缄默，并重重地惩罚我们吗？
