Isaiæ 63
1 quis est iste qui venit de Edom tinctis vestibus de Bosra iste formonsus 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 redemptionis 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 terra 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 Israhel 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 levavit 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 adflixerunt 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 Mosi 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 Mosen 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 duxit eos per abyssos quasi equum in deserto non inpingentem
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 adtende 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 Israhel 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.
