Isaías 63

1 ¿Quién es éste que viene de Edom, de Bosra, con ropas enrojecidas, éste de ropa hermosa que marcha en la grandeza de su poder? Yo, el que hablo con justicia, grande para salvar.

[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”

2 ¿Por qué tu manto está rojo y tu ropa como la del que pisó en el lagar?

[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”

3 Yo solo pisé el lagar, y ninguno de los pueblos estuvo conmigo. Los aplasté con mi ira y los pisoteé con mi furor. Su sangre salpicó mis mantos y manché todas mis ropas.

[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.

4 Porque el día de la venganza está en mi corazón, y vino el año de mis redimidos.

I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].

5 Miré, y no había quien ayudara. Me asombré de que no había quien ayudara. Entonces me salvó mi propio brazo y me sostuvo mi ira.

I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.

6 Pisoteé pueblos con mi ira. Los embriagué con mi furor y derramé su sangre en la tierra.

Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”

7 Recordaré las misericordias de Yavé, las alabanzas de Yavé, según todo lo que Yavé hizo por nosotros, y su gran bondad hacia la Casa de Israel, que Él les concedió según su compasión y la abundancia de sus misericordias.

I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.

8 Pues dijo: Ciertamente ellos son mi pueblo, hijos que no mienten. Él fue el Salvador de ellos.

Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.

9 Él fue angustiado en toda angustia de ellos. El Ángel de su Presencia los salvó. Por su amor y su clemencia los redimió, y los cargó todos los días de la antigüedad.

When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].

10 Pero ellos se rebelaron y entristecieron a su Espíritu Santo, por lo cual se volvió su enemigo. Él mismo combatió contra ellos.

But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.

11 Entonces recordó los días antiguos de su esclavo Moisés y de su pueblo, [y dijo]: ¿Dónde está el que los sacó del mar con el pastor de su rebaño? ¿Dónde está el que puso su Espíritu Santo en él,

Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?

12 el que envió su glorioso brazo para que estuviera a la mano derecha de Moisés y lo guió con su brazo glorioso, el que dividió el mar ante ellos y se ganó renombre eterno,

Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?

13 el que los condujo por el fondo del mar, como se conduce el caballo por el desierto sin tropezar?

Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.

14 El Espíritu de Yavé les dio reposo así como al ganado que baja al valle. Así condujiste a tu pueblo para darte un Nombre glorioso.

They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”

15 Mira desde el cielo y contempla desde tu santa y gloriosa morada. ¿Dónde están tu celo y tus obras poderosas? ¿Se estrecharon la conmoción de tu corazón y tu compasión hacia mí?

[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.

16 Pero Tú eres nuestro Padre. Aunque Abraham nos ignora e Israel no nos reconoce, Tú, oh Yavé, eres nuestro Padre. Redentor nuestro, desde la eternidad es tu Nombre.

You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.

17 ¿Por qué, oh Yavé, nos dejas desviar de tus caminos y endureces nuestro corazón a tu temor? Regresa por amor a tus esclavos, las tribus de tu heredad.

Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.

18 Por poco tiempo tu pueblo santo poseyó tu Santuario. Nuestros enemigos lo pisotearon.

We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.

19 Somos como aquellos sobre quienes Tú nunca señoreaste, sobre los cuales nunca fue invocado tu Nombre.

Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
