以賽亞書 63
1 「那由厄東而來，身穿染紅了的衣服，那由波責辣而來，衣著華麗，力量強大，闊步前進的是誰啊﹖」「是宣佈正義，具有拯救大能的我。」「
Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.
2 你的服裝怎麼成了紅色，你的衣服好似一個踏酒醡的呢﹖」「
Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?
3 因為唯獨我一人踐踏了酒醡，我的人民中沒有一個與我在一起。我在怒氣中踐踏了他們，我在怒火中蹂躪了他們，因此他們的血液濺到我的衣服上，我的服裝就完全染污了。
I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.
4 因為復仇的日子已在我心中，我施救的歲月已經來到。
For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.
5 我四下觀看，但沒有人輔助；我驚愕四顧，但沒有人支持；因此惟有用我的手臂自行拯救，以我的怒氣來支持自己。
And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.
6 我在怒氣中踐踏了民眾，我在怒火中粉碎了他們，使他們的鮮血流倒地下。」
And in my passion the peoples were crushed under my feet, and broken in my wrath, and I put down their strength to the earth.
7 我要依照上主以他的大慈大悲賜與我們的一切，和對以色列家所賜的宏福，稱頌上主的慈惠和上主可讚頌的作為。
I will give news of the mercies of the Lord, and his great acts, even all the things the Lord has done for us, in his great grace to the house of Israel; even all he has done for us in his unnumbered mercies.
8 他曾說過：「他們的確是我的百姓，不行虛偽的子民；」因此他成了他們一切困難中的拯救者。
For he said, Truly they are my people, children who will not be false: so he was their saviour out of all their trouble.
9 並不是使者，也不是天使拯救他們，而是他自己。他以自己的愛情和憐憫贖回了他們；在往日，他時常扶持他們，懷抱他們。
It was no sent one or angel, but he himself who was their saviour: in his love and in his pity he took up their cause, and he took them in his arms, caring for them all through the years.
10 但是他們成了叛徒，刺傷了他的聖神；因此他變成了他們的敵人，親自攻擊他們。
But they went against him, causing grief to his holy spirit: so he was turned against them, and made war on them.
11 那時，他們想起古來的日子，想起他的僕人梅瑟。那引領羊群的牧者出離海洋的在那裏呢﹖那曾在他心中賦與自己聖神的在那裏呢﹖
Then the early days came to their minds, the days of Moses his servant: and they said, Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea? where is he who put his holy spirit among them,
12 那在梅瑟右邊以其榮耀的手臂，在百姓前分開海水，使自己獲得永遠聲譽的在那裏呢﹖
He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;
13 那領導他們走過深淵，有如馬行於曠野而不顛躓的在那裏呢﹖
He who made them go through the deep waters, like a horse in the waste land?
14 上主的神怎樣領導走獸下到山谷，你也怎樣領導了你的百姓，好使你獲得一個光榮的名號。
Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.
15 如今求你從天垂顧，從你光榮的聖所俯視！你的熱愛，你的大能和你的同情心在那裏呢﹖求你不要停止你的慈悲，
Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:
16 因為你是我們的父親；亞巴郎雖不認識我們，以色列雖不記得我們，你上主卻是我們的父親，「我們自古以來的救主」就是你的名。
For you are our father, though Abraham has no knowledge of us, and Israel gives no thought to us: you, O Lord, are our father; from the earliest days you have taken up our cause.
17 上主！ 你為什麼讓我們離開你的道路﹖使我們的心變硬而不敬畏你﹖求你為了你的僕人，為了你產業的各支派，回心轉意罷！
O Lord, why do you send us wandering from your ways, making our hearts hard, so that we have no fear of you? Come back, because of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.
18 你為什麼讓惡人踐踏你的聖殿﹖為什麼讓我們的敵人蹂躪你的聖所﹖
Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?
19 我們儼然成了一個從未受你治理，從未屬你名下的民族。啊！
We have become as those who were never ruled by you, on whom your name was not named.
