Isaiah 63
1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
| מִי־זֶה ׀ בָּא מֵאֱדוֹם חֲמוּץ בְּגָדִים מִבׇּצְרָה זֶה הָדוּר בִּלְבוּשׁוֹ צֹעֶה בְּרֹב כֹּחוֹ אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר בִּצְדָקָה רַב לְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ |
2 Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
| מַדּוּעַ אָדֹם לִלְבוּשֶׁךָ וּבְגָדֶיךָ כְּדֹרֵךְ בְּגַֽת׃ |
3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
| פּוּרָה ׀ דָּרַכְתִּי לְבַדִּי וּמֵֽעַמִּים אֵֽין־אִישׁ אִתִּי וְאֶדְרְכֵם בְּאַפִּי וְאֶרְמְסֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְיֵז נִצְחָם עַל־בְּגָדַי וְכׇל־מַלְבּוּשַׁי אֶגְאָֽלְתִּי׃ |
4 For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
| כִּי יוֹם נָקָם בְּלִבִּי וּשְׁנַת גְּאוּלַי בָּֽאָה׃ |
5 I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
| וְאַבִּיט וְאֵין עֹזֵר וְאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵם וְאֵין סוֹמֵךְ וַתּוֹשַֽׁע־לִי זְרֹעִי וַחֲמָתִי הִיא סְמָכָֽתְנִי׃ |
6 I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
| וְאָבוּס עַמִּים בְּאַפִּי וַאֲשַׁכְּרֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְאוֹרִיד לָאָרֶץ נִצְחָֽם׃ |
7 I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
| חַֽסְדֵי יְהֹוָה ׀ אַזְכִּיר תְּהִלֹּת יְהֹוָה כְּעַל כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־גְּמָלָנוּ יְהֹוָה וְרַב־טוּב לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־גְּמָלָם כְּֽרַחֲמָיו וּכְרֹב חֲסָדָֽיו׃ |
8 For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אַךְ־עַמִּי הֵמָּה בָּנִים לֹא יְשַׁקֵּרוּ וַיְהִי לָהֶם לְמוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ |
9 In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
| בְּֽכׇל־צָרָתָם ׀ (לא) [לוֹ] צָר וּמַלְאַךְ פָּנָיו הוֹשִׁיעָם בְּאַהֲבָתוֹ וּבְחֶמְלָתוֹ הוּא גְאָלָם וַֽיְנַטְּלֵם וַֽיְנַשְּׂאֵם כׇּל־יְמֵי עוֹלָֽם׃ |
10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
| וְהֵמָּה מָרוּ וְעִצְּבוּ אֶת־רוּחַ קׇדְשׁוֹ וַיֵּהָפֵךְ לָהֶם לְאוֹיֵב הוּא נִלְחַם־בָּֽם׃ |
11 Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
| וַיִּזְכֹּר יְמֵֽי־עוֹלָם מֹשֶׁה עַמּוֹ אַיֵּה ׀ הַֽמַּעֲלֵם מִיָּם אֵת רֹעֵי צֹאנוֹ אַיֵּה הַשָּׂם בְּקִרְבּוֹ אֶת־רוּחַ קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
12 who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
| מוֹלִיךְ לִימִין מֹשֶׁה זְרוֹעַ תִּפְאַרְתּוֹ בּוֹקֵֽעַ מַיִם מִפְּנֵיהֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ שֵׁם עוֹלָֽם׃ |
13 who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
| מוֹלִיכָם בַּתְּהֹמוֹת כַּסּוּס בַּמִּדְבָּר לֹא יִכָּשֵֽׁלוּ׃ |
14 Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
| כַּבְּהֵמָה בַּבִּקְעָה תֵרֵד רוּחַ יְהֹוָה תְּנִיחֶנּוּ כֵּן נִהַגְתָּ עַמְּךָ לַעֲשׂוֹת לְךָ שֵׁם תִּפְאָֽרֶת׃ |
15 Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
| הַבֵּט מִשָּׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה מִזְּבֻל קׇדְשְׁךָ וְתִפְאַרְתֶּךָ אַיֵּה קִנְאָֽתְךָ וּגְבוּרֹתֶךָ הֲמוֹן מֵעֶיךָ וְֽרַחֲמֶיךָ אֵלַי הִתְאַפָּֽקוּ׃ |
16 Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה אָבִינוּ כִּי אַבְרָהָם לֹא יְדָעָנוּ וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יַכִּירָנוּ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אָבִינוּ גֹּאֲלֵנוּ מֵעוֹלָם שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ |
17 Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
| לָמָּה תַתְעֵנוּ יְהֹוָה מִדְּרָכֶיךָ תַּקְשִׁיחַ לִבֵּנוּ מִיִּרְאָתֶךָ שׁוּב לְמַעַן עֲבָדֶיךָ שִׁבְטֵי נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃ |
18 For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
| לַמִּצְעָר יָרְשׁוּ עַם־קׇדְשֶׁךָ צָרֵינוּ בּוֹסְסוּ מִקְדָּשֶֽׁךָ׃ |
19 We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
| הָיִינוּ מֵֽעוֹלָם לֹא־מָשַׁלְתָּ בָּם לֹֽא־נִקְרָא שִׁמְךָ עֲלֵיהֶם לֽוּא־קָרַעְתָּ |
