以賽亞書 63
1 這從以東的波斯拉來， 穿紅衣服， 裝扮華美， 能力廣大， 大步行走的是誰呢？ 就是我， 是憑公義說話， 以大能施行拯救。
Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
2 你的裝扮為何有紅色？ 你的衣服為何像踹酒醡的呢？
Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
3 我獨自踹酒醡； 眾民中無一人與我同在。 我發怒將他們踹下， 發烈怒將他們踐踏。 他們的血濺在我衣服上， 並且污染了我一切的衣裳。
I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
4 因為，報仇之日在我心中； 救贖我民之年已經來到。
For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
5 我仰望，見無人幫助； 我詫異，沒有人扶持。 所以，我自己的膀臂為我施行拯救； 我的烈怒將我扶持。
I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
6 我發怒，踹下眾民； 發烈怒，使他們沉醉， 又將他們的血倒在地上。
I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
7 我要照耶和華一切所賜給我們的， 提起他的慈愛和美德， 並他向以色列家所施的大恩； 這恩是照他的憐恤 和豐盛的慈愛賜給他們的。
I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
8 他說：他們誠然是我的百姓， 不行虛假的子民； 這樣，他就作了他們的救主。
He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
9 他們在一切苦難中， 他也同受苦難； 並且他面前的使者拯救他們； 他以慈愛和憐憫救贖他們； 在古時的日子常保抱他們，懷搋他們。
He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
10 他們竟悖逆，使主的聖靈擔憂。 他就轉作他們的仇敵， 親自攻擊他們。
But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
11 那時，他們想起古時的日子－ 摩西和他百姓，說： 將百姓和牧養他全群的人 從海裏領上來的在哪裏呢？ 將他的聖靈降在他們中間的在哪裏呢？
Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
12 使他榮耀的膀臂在摩西的右手邊行動， 在他們前面將水分開， 要建立自己永遠的名，
Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
13 帶領他們經過深處， 如馬行走曠野， 使他們不致絆跌的在哪裏呢？
Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
14 耶和華的靈使他們得安息， 彷彿牲畜下到山谷； 照樣，你也引導你的百姓， 要建立自己榮耀的名。
Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
15 求你從天上垂顧， 從你聖潔榮耀的居所觀看。 你的熱心和你大能的作為在哪裏呢？ 你愛慕的心腸和憐憫向我們止住了。
Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
16 亞伯拉罕雖然不認識我們， 以色列也不承認我們， 你卻是我們的父。 耶和華啊，你是我們的父； 從萬古以來，你名稱為「我們的救贖主」。
But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
17 耶和華啊，你為何使我們走差離開你的道， 使我們心裏剛硬、不敬畏你呢？ 求你為你僕人， 為你產業支派的緣故，轉回來。
Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
18 你的聖民不過暫時得這產業； 我們的敵人已經踐踏你的聖所。
Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
19 我們好像你未曾治理的人， 又像未曾得稱你名下的人。
We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
