< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, tinctis vestibus de Bosra? iste formosus in stola sua, gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suæ. Ego, qui loquor iustitiam, et propugnator sum ad salvandum.
2 Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.
Torcular calcavi solus, et de Gentibus non est vir mecum: calcavi eos in furore meo, et conculcavi eos in ira mea: et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea, et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
Dies enim ultionis in corde meo annus redemptionis meæ venit.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help. And I wondered that there was none to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. And my wrath, it upheld me.
Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator: quæsivi et non fuit qui adiuvaret: et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.
6 And I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.
Et conculcavi populos in furore meo, et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea, et detraxi in terram virtutem eorum.
7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Miserationum Domini recordabor, laudem Domini super omnibus, quæ reddidit nobis Dominus, et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israel, quæ largitus est eis secundum indulgentiam suam, et secundum multitudinem misericordiarum suarum.
8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely. So he was their Savior.
Et dixit: Verumtamen populus meus est, filii non negantes: et factus est eis salvator.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
In omni tribulatione eorum non est tribulatus, et angelus faciei eius salvavit eos: in dilectione sua, et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos, et portavit eos, et elevavit eos cunctis diebus sæculi.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.
Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt, et afflixerunt spiritum sancti eius: et conversus est eis in inimicum, et ipse debellavit eos.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,
Et recordatus est dierum sæculi Moysi, et populi sui: Ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastoribus gregis sui? ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum sancti sui?
12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
Qui eduxit ad dexteram Moysen brachio maiestatis suæ, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum:
13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?
Qui eduxit eos per abyssos, quasi equum in deserto non impingentem:
14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
Quasi animal in campo descendens, spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit: sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriæ.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory. Where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? The yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
Attende de cælo, et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo, et gloriæ tuæ: ubi est zelus tuus, et fortitudo tua, multitudo viscerum tuorum, et miserationum tuarum? super me continuerunt se.
16 For thou are our Father, though Abraham knows us not, and Israel does not acknowledge us, thou, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
Tu enim pater noster, et Abraham nescivit nos, et Israel ignoravit nos: tu Domine pater noster, redemptor noster, a sæculo nomen tuum.
17 O Jehovah, why do thou make us to err from thy ways, and harden our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis: indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te? convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuæ.
18 Thy holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum: hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam.
19 We have become as those over whom thou never bore rule, as those who were not called by thy name.
Facti sumus quasi in principio, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos.
