Isaiæ 63
1 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.
Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
2 Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
3 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.
“I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
4 Dies enim ultionis in corde meo annus retributionis meae venit.
For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
5 Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator: quaesivi et non fuit qui adiuvaret: et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.
I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
6 Et conculcavi populos in furore meo, et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea, et detraxi in terram virtutem eorum.
I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
7 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.
I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
8 Et dixit: Verumtamen populus meus est, filii non negantes: et factus est eis salvator.
For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
9 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.
In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10 Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt, et afflixerunt spiritum sancti eius: et conversus est eis in inimicum, et ipse debellavit eos.
But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
11 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?
Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
12 Qui eduxit ad dexteram Moysen brachio maiestatis suae, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum:
who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
13 Qui eduxit eos per abyssos, quasi equum in deserto non impingentem:
who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
14 Quasi animal in campo descendens, spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit: sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae.
Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 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.
Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
16 Tu enim pater noster, et Abraham nescivit nos, et Israel ignoravit nos: tu Domine pater noster, redemptor noster, a saeculo nomen tuum.
Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 Quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis: indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te? convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuae.
Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
18 Quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum: hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam.
For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
19 Facti sumus quasi in principio, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos.
We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
