Isaiah 63
1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
「那由厄東而來，身穿染紅了的衣服，那由波責辣而來，衣著華麗，力量強大，闊步前進的是誰啊﹖」「是宣佈正義，具有拯救大能的我。」「
2 Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
你的服裝怎麼成了紅色，你的衣服好似一個踏酒醡的呢﹖」「
3 “I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
因為唯獨我一人踐踏了酒醡，我的人民中沒有一個與我在一起。我在怒氣中踐踏了他們，我在怒火中蹂躪了他們，因此他們的血液濺到我的衣服上，我的服裝就完全染污了。
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
因為復仇的日子已在我心中，我施救的歲月已經來到。
5 I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.
我四下觀看，但沒有人輔助；我驚愕四顧，但沒有人支持；因此惟有用我的手臂自行拯救，以我的怒氣來支持自己。
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”
我在怒氣中踐踏了民眾，我在怒火中粉碎了他們，使他們的鮮血流倒地下。」
7 I will tell of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
我要依照上主以他的大慈大悲賜與我們的一切，和對以色列家所賜的宏福，稱頌上主的慈惠和上主可讚頌的作為。
8 For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely;” so he became their Savior.
他曾說過：「他們的確是我的百姓，不行虛偽的子民；」因此他成了他們一切困難中的拯救者。
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. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
並不是使者，也不是天使拯救他們，而是他自己。他以自己的愛情和憐憫贖回了他們；在往日，他時常扶持他們，懷抱他們。
10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
但是他們成了叛徒，刺傷了他的聖神；因此他變成了他們的敵人，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 Spirit among them?”
那時，他們想起古來的日子，想起他的僕人梅瑟。那引領羊群的牧者出離海洋的在那裏呢﹖那曾在他心中賦與自己聖神的在那裏呢﹖
12 Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
那在梅瑟右邊以其榮耀的手臂，在百姓前分開海水，使自己獲得永遠聲譽的在那裏呢﹖
13 Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?
那領導他們走過深淵，有如馬行於曠野而不顛躓的在那裏呢﹖
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the LORD’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.
上主的神怎樣領導走獸下到山谷，你也怎樣領導了你的百姓，好使你獲得一個光榮的名號。
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.
如今求你從天垂顧，從你光榮的聖所俯視！你的熱愛，你的大能和你的同情心在那裏呢﹖求你不要停止你的慈悲，
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.
因為你是我們的父親；亞巴郎雖不認識我們，以色列雖不記得我們，你上主卻是我們的父親，「我們自古以來的救主」就是你的名。
17 O LORD, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
上主！ 你為什麼讓我們離開你的道路﹖使我們的心變硬而不敬畏你﹖求你為了你的僕人，為了你產業的各支派，回心轉意罷！
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
你為什麼讓惡人踐踏你的聖殿﹖為什麼讓我們的敵人蹂躪你的聖所﹖
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
我們儼然成了一個從未受你治理，從未屬你名下的民族。啊！
