< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.
Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, tinctis vestibus de Bosra? iste formosus in stola sua, gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suae. Ego, qui loquor iustitiam, et propugnator sum ad salvandum.
2 Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?
Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
3 I have trodden the wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my apparel.
Torcular calcavi solus, et de Gentibus non est vir mecum: calcavi eos in furore meo, et conculcavi eos in ira mea: et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea, et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, And the year of my deliverance was come.
Dies enim ultionis in corde meo annus retributionis meae venit.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.
Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator: quaesivi et non fuit qui adiuvaret: et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.
6 I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.
Et conculcavi populos in furore meo, et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea, et detraxi in terram virtutem eorum.
7 I will celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.
Miserationum Domini recordabor, laudem Domini super omnibus, quae reddidit nobis Dominus, et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israel, quae largitus est eis secundum indulgentiam suam, et secundum multitudinem misericordiarum suarum.
8 He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.
Et dixit: Verumtamen populus meus est, filii non negantes: et factus est eis salvator.
9 In all their straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore them all the days of old.
In omni tribulatione eorum non est tribulatus, et angelus faciei eius salvavit eos: in dilectione sua, et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos, et portavit eos, et elevavit eos cunctis diebus saeculi.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself fought against them.
Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt, et afflixerunt spiritum sancti eius: et conversus est eis in inimicum, et ipse debellavit eos.
11 Then remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?
Et recordatus est dierum saeculi Moysi, et populi sui: Ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastoribus gregis sui? ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum sancti sui?
12 That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?
Qui eduxit ad dexteram Moysen brachio maiestatis suae, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum:
13 That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?
Qui eduxit eos per abyssos, quasi equum in deserto non impingentem:
14 As the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for thyself a glorious name.
Quasi animal in campo descendens, spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit: sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?
Attende de caelo, et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo, et gloriae tuae: ubi est zelus tuus, et fortitudo tua, multitudo viscerum tuorum, et miserationum tuarum? super me continuerunt se.
16 Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.
Tu enim pater noster, et Abraham nescivit nos, et Israel ignoravit nos: tu Domine pater noster, redemptor noster, a saeculo nomen tuum.
17 Why, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!
Quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis: indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te? convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuae.
18 But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.
Quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum: hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam.
19 It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
Facti sumus quasi in principio, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos.
