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 that cometh from Edom, dyed red in his garments from Bozrah? this—glorious in his apparel, moving along in the greatness of his strength? “I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari
Why is redness on thy apparel, and [why are] thy garments as of one that treadeth the wine-press?
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 vat alone, and of the nations there was no man with me; and I trod them down in my anger, and I trampled on them in my fury; and their blood was sprinkled on my garments, and all my raiments have I 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 redeemed was 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
And I looked, and there was no one to help, and I was astonished, and there was no one to support; and then my own arm aided me, and my fury—this it was that upheld me.
6 et conculcavi populos in furore meo et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea et detraxi in terra virtutem eorum
And I stamped down nations in my anger, and I made them drunken with my fury, and brought down to the earth their victorious strength.”
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
The kindnesses of the Lord will I mention, the praises of the Lord, in accordance with all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the abundant goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and the abundance of his kindnesses.
8 et dixit verumtamen populus meus est filii non negantes et factus est eis salvator
And he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie; and he became to them a Saviour.
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 affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and he 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; and he changed himself to become their enemy, and he 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 remembered his people the ancient days of Moses, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put within him his holy Spirit?
12 qui eduxit ad dexteram Mosen brachio maiestatis suae qui scidit aquas ante eos ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum
That displayed by the right hand of Moses his glorious arm; that divided the water before them, to make unto himself an everlasting name?
13 qui duxit eos per abyssos quasi equum in deserto non inpingentem
That led them through the deeps, as a horse through the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 quasi animal in campo descendens spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae
As a beast goeth down into the valley, so did the spirit of the Lord bring them to rest; thus didst thou guide thy people, to make unto thyself 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 behold, from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mights, the yearning of thy bowels and of thy mercy which are now restrained from me?
16 tu enim pater noster et Abraham nescivit nos et Israhel ignoravit nos tu Domine pater noster redemptor noster a saeculo nomen tuum
For thou art our father; for Abraham knoweth nothing of us, and Israel recogniseth us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name.
17 quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te convertere propter servos tuos tribus hereditatis tuae
Why hast thou let us go astray, O Lord, from thy ways, suffered our heart to be hardened against thy fear? Return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy heritage.
18 quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam
But a brief space were thy holy people in possession, when our adversaries trod down thy sanctuary.
19 facti sumus quasi in principio cum non dominareris nostri neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos
We are become as though we are those over whom thou hast never ruled, over whom thy name hath not been called.
