Esias 63
1 Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgement.
「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。」「
2 Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
你的服裝怎麼成了紅色，你的衣服好似一個踏酒醡的呢﹖」「
3 I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.
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。
4 For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
因為復仇的日子已在我心中，我施救的歲月已經來到。
5 And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew near.
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。
6 And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
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。」
7 I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.
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。
8 And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
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。
9 out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.
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。
10 But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
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。
11 Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?
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﹖
12 who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.
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﹖
13 He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
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﹖
14 and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
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。
15 Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?
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，
16 For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.
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。
17 Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,
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！
18 that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.
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﹖
19 We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
我們儼然成了一個從未受你治理，從未屬你名下的民族。啊！
