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? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.
2 quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari
Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?
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 wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my apparel.
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 deliverance 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 none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.
6 et conculcavi populos in furore meo et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea et detraxi in terra virtutem eorum
I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon 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 celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.
8 et dixit verumtamen populus meus est filii non negantes et factus est eis salvator
He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.
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 straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore 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; Then did he change himself into their enemy; 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 remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?
12 qui eduxit ad dexteram Mosen brachio maiestatis suae qui scidit aquas ante eos ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum
That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?
13 qui duxit eos per abyssos quasi equum in deserto non inpingentem
That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?
14 quasi animal in campo descendens spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae
As the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for 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 thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?
16 tu enim pater noster et Abraham nescivit nos et Israhel ignoravit nos tu Domine pater noster redemptor noster a saeculo nomen tuum
Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.
17 quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te convertere propter servos tuos tribus hereditatis tuae
Why, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!
18 quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam
But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.
19 facti sumus quasi in principio cum non dominareris nostri neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos
It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
