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 judgment.
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。
2 Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
你的裝扮為何有紅色？ 你的衣服為何像踹酒醡的呢？
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.
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。
4 For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
因為，報仇之日在我心中； 救贖我民之年已經來到。
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。
6 And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
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。
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。
8 And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
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。
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.
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。
10 But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
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。
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？
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.
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，
13 He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
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？
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.
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。
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?
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。
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.
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」。
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,
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。
18 that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.
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。
19 We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
我們好像你未曾治理的人， 又像未曾得稱你名下的人。
