< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
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 Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
你的裝扮為何有紅色? 你的衣服為何像踹酒醡的呢?
3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
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 vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
因為,報仇之日在我心中; 救贖我民之年已經來到。
5 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.
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 I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on 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 will make mention of 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 For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.
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 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 bore them, and carried them 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 rebelled, and grieved his holy Ruach: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought 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 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 Ruach in their midst?
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 caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, 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 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
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 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Ruach of the LORD caused them to rest; so 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 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
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, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
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 O LORD, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, 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 Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
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 have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
我們好像你未曾治理的人, 又像未曾得稱你名下的人。
