Isaiah 63

1 Who is this coming in from Edom With bright-red garments, from Bozrah? This made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save.

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red 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.

2 Wherefore is there red, on thy raiment, —And thy garments as of one treading in a wine-trough?

— Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?

3 A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And of the peoples, there was no man with me. So I trod them down in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation, —And their life-blood besprinkled my garments, And all mine apparel, I defiled;

I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.

4 For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And the year of my redeemed, had come.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.

5 Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help, —And I was astonished that there was none to uphold, —So, mine own arm brought me salvation, And mine indignation, the same upheld me;

And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

6 Then trod I down peoples in mine anger, And make them drunk with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life-blood.

And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

7 The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, —Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them—According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.

I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.

8 Therefore he said—Surely my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! So he became their saviour.

And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.

9 In all their affliction, he, was afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them, —And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.

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.

10 But, they, rebelled, and grieved his Holy Spirit, —And so he turned against them as an enemy, he himself, fought against them.

But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.

11 Then were recalled the days of the age-past time Moses—his people: —Where is he that led them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put within him his Holy Spirit?

But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,

12 That caused to go at the right hand of Moses his own majestic arm, —Cleaving the waters from before them, To make himself an age-abiding name:

his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,

13 Causing them to go through the roaring deeps, —Like a horse through the wilderness, That they should not stumble?

— who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?

14 As a beast, into the valley, goeth down, The Spirit of Yahweh, causeth him to rest, So, didst thou lead thy people, To make thyself a majestic name!

As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

15 Look thou down, out of the heavens and see, Out of the high abode of thy holiness and of thy majesty, —Where are thy jealousy, and thy mighty deeds? The resounding of thy yearning affection, and thy compassions towards me, are they restrained?

Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?

16 For, thou, art our father, Though, Abraham, knew us not, And Israel could not acknowledge us, —Thou, O Yahweh, art our father, Our Redeemer from the Age-past time, is thy name.

For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.

17 Wherefore shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? Wherefore shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou for the sake of Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.

Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

18 For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, —Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!

Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

19 We have become like those Over whom from age-past times, thou hast not ruled, Who have never been called by thy name!

We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
