Isaiah 63
1 [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!”
¿Quién es éste que viene de Edom, de Bosra, con vestidos bermejos? ¿Este hermoso en su vestido, que marcha con la grandeza de su poder? Yo, el que hablo en justicia, grande para salvar.
2 [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].”
¿Por qué es bermejo tu vestido, y tus ropas como del que ha pisado en lagar?
3 [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.
Solo pisé el lagar, y de los pueblos nadie fue conmigo. Los pisé con mi ira, y los hollé con mi furor; y su sangre salpicó mis vestidos, y ensucié todas mis ropas.
4 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].
Porque el día de la venganza está en mi corazón; y el año de mis redimidos es venido.
5 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.
Miré, pues, y no había quien ayudase, y abominé que no hubiese quien me sustentase; y me salvó mi brazo, y me sostuvo mi ira.
6 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.”
Y hollé los pueblos con mi ira, y los embriagué de mi furor; y derribé a tierra su fortaleza.
7 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.
De las misericordias del SEÑOR haré memoria, de las alabanzas del SEÑOR, conforme a todo lo que el SEÑOR nos ha dado, y de la grandeza de su beneficencia a la Casa de Israel, que les ha hecho según sus misericordias, y según la multitud de sus miseraciones.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
Porque dijo: Ciertamente mi pueblo son, hijos que no mienten; y fue su Salvador.
9 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].
En toda angustia de ellos él fue angustiado, y el Angel de su faz los salvó. Con su amor y con su clemencia los redimió, y los trajo a cuestas, y los levantó todos los días del siglo.
10 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.
Mas ellos fueron rebeldes, e hicieron enojar su Espíritu Santo, por lo cual se les volvió enemigo, y él mismo peleó contra ellos.
11 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?
Pero se acordó de los días antiguos, de Moisés, y de su pueblo. ¿Dónde está el que les hizo subir del mar con el pastor de su rebaño? ¿Dónde está el que puso en medio de él su Espíritu Santo?
12 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?
¿El que los guió por la diestra de Moisés con el brazo de su gloria; el que rompió las aguas, haciéndose así nombre perpetuo?
13 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.
El que los hizo ir por los abismos, como un caballo por el desierto, nunca tropezaron.
14 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).”
El Espíritu del SEÑOR los pastoreó, como a una bestia, que desciende al valle; así pastoreaste tu pueblo, para hacerte nombre glorioso.
15 [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.
Mira desde el cielo, desde la morada de tu santidad, y de tu gloria. ¿Dónde está tu celo, y tu fortaleza, la conmoción de tus entrañas, y de tus miseraciones para conmigo? ¿Se han estrechado?
16 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.
Porque tú eres nuestro padre, que Abraham nos ignora, e Israel no nos conoce. Tú, SEÑOR, eres nuestro padre; nuestro Redentor perpetuo es tu nombre.
17 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.
¿Por qué, oh SEÑOR, nos has hecho errar de tus caminos? ¿Endureciste nuestro corazón a tu temor? Vuélvete por tus siervos, por las tribus de tu heredad.
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Por poco tiempo poseyó la tierra prometida el pueblo de tu santidad; nuestros enemigos han hollado tu Santuario.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Hemos sido como aquellos de quienes nunca te enseñoreaste, sobre los cuales nunca fue llamado tu nombre.
