< Isaiah 63 >
1 Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
这从以东的波斯拉来, 穿红衣服, 装扮华美, 能力广大, 大步行走的是谁呢? 就是我, 是凭公义说话, 以大能施行拯救。
2 Wherefore are you red in your apparel, and your garments like him that treads in the winepress?
你的装扮为何有红色? 你的衣服为何像踹酒榨的呢?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
我独自踹酒榨; 众民中无一人与我同在。 我发怒将他们踹下, 发烈怒将他们践踏。 他们的血溅在我衣服上, 并且污染了我一切的衣裳。
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
因为,报仇之日在我心中; 救赎我民之年已经来到。
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
我仰望,见无人帮助; 我诧异,没有人扶持。 所以,我自己的膀臂为我施行拯救; 我的烈怒将我扶持。
6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
我发怒,踹下众民; 发烈怒,使他们沉醉, 又将他们的血倒在地上。
7 I will mention the loving kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD 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.
我要照耶和华一切所赐给我们的, 提起他的慈爱和美德, 并他向以色列家所施的大恩; 这恩是照他的怜恤 和丰盛的慈爱赐给他们的。
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
他说:他们诚然是我的百姓, 不行虚假的子民; 这样,他就作了他们的救主。
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
他们在一切苦难中, 他也同受苦难; 并且他面前的使者拯救他们; 他以慈爱和怜悯救赎他们; 在古时的日子常保抱他们,怀搋他们。
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
他们竟悖逆,使主的圣灵担忧。 他就转作他们的仇敌, 亲自攻击他们。
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
那时,他们想起古时的日子— 摩西和他百姓,说: 将百姓和牧养他全群的人 从海里领上来的在哪里呢? 将他的圣灵降在他们中间的在哪里呢?
12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
使他荣耀的膀臂在摩西的右手边行动, 在他们前面将水分开, 要建立自己永远的名,
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
带领他们经过深处, 如马行走旷野, 使他们不致绊跌的在哪里呢?
14 As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
耶和华的灵使他们得安息, 仿佛牲畜下到山谷; 照样,你也引导你的百姓, 要建立自己荣耀的名。
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where is your zeal and your strength, the sounding of your bowels and of your mercies toward me? are they restrained?
求你从天上垂顾, 从你圣洁荣耀的居所观看。 你的热心和你大能的作为在哪里呢? 你爱慕的心肠和怜悯向我们止住了。
16 Doubtless you are our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: you, O LORD, are our father, our redeemer; your name is from everlasting.
亚伯拉罕虽然不认识我们, 以色列也不承认我们, 你却是我们的父。 耶和华啊,你是我们的父; 从万古以来,你名称为“我们的救赎主”。
17 O LORD, why have you made us to go astray from your ways, and hardened our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
耶和华啊,你为何使我们走差离开你的道, 使我们心里刚硬、不敬畏你呢? 求你为你仆人, 为你产业支派的缘故,转回来。
18 The people of your holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
你的圣民不过暂时得这产业; 我们的敌人已经践踏你的圣所。
19 We are yours: you never bare rule over them; they were not called by your name.
我们好像你未曾治理的人, 又像未曾得称你名下的人。
