Isaiah 63

1 Who? this - [is] coming from Edom red of garments from Bozrah this one [is] adorned in clothing his [is] stooping in [the] greatness of strength his I [am] speaking in righteousness great to save.

[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”

2 Why? [does] redness [belong] to clothing your and [are] garments? your like [one who] treads in a winepress.

[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”

3 [the] winepress - I have trodden to alone me and from peoples not anyone [was] with me and I trod them in anger my and I trampled them in rage my and it spattered blood their on garments my and all clothes my I have defiled.

[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.

4 For a day of vengeance [was] in heart my and [the] year of redemption my it had come.

I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].

5 And I may look and there not [was] a helper and I may be appalled and there not [was] a sustainer and it gave victory to me arm my and rage my it it sustained me.

I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.

6 And I may tread down peoples in anger my and I made drunk them in rage my so I may bring down to the ground blood their.

Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”

7 [the] covenant loyalti of Yahweh - I will bring to remembrance [the] praises of Yahweh as on all that he has dealt out to us Yahweh and [the] greatness of goodness to [the] house of Israel which he has dealt out to them according to compassion his and according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalti his.

I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.

8 And he said surely [are] people my they children [who] not they will deal falsely and he became of them a deliverer.

Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.

9 In all distress their - ([belonged] to him *Q(K)*) distress and [the] angel of presence his it saved them in love his and in mercy his he he redeemed them and he lifted up them and he carried them all [the] days of antiquity.

When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].

10 And they they rebelled and they grieved [the] spirit of holiness his and he changed himself of them into an enemy he he fought against them.

But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.

11 And it remembered [the] days of antiquity Moses people his where? - [is] who brought up them from [the] sea with [the] shepherds of flock his where? [is] the [one who] put in midst its [the] spirit of holiness his.

Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?

12 [who] caused to go To [the] right [hand] of Moses [the] arm of splendor his [who] split open [the] waters from before them to make for himself a name of perpetuity.

Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?

13 [who] caused to walk Them in the deeps like horse in the wilderness not they stumbled.

Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.

14 Like livestock [which] in the valley it goes down [the] spirit of Yahweh it gave rest it so you led people your to make for yourself a name of splendor.

They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”

15 Look from heaven and see from [the] lofty abode of holiness your and splendor your where? [are] zeal your and mighty deeds your [the] tumult of inward parts your and compassion your to me they have restrained themselves.

[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.

16 For you [are] father our for Abraham not he knows us and Israel not he acknowledges us you O Yahweh [are] father our [is] redeemer our from long ago name your.

You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.

17 Why? do you make wander us O Yahweh from ways your do you harden? heart our from fear of you return for [the] sake of servants your [the] tribes of inheritance your.

Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.

18 For little while they possessed [the] people of holiness your opponents our they have trodden down sanctuary your.

We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.

19 We have been from long ago not you ruled over them not it was called name your on them

Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
