Isaías 63

1 ¿Quién es este que viene de Edom, con ropas de color rojo sangre de Bosra? ¿Majestuoso en su vestidura, caminando con orgullo en su gran fuerza? Yo que hablo en justicia, poderoso para la salvación.

[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 está roja tu ropa y por qué tus ropas son como las de alguien que está triturando las uvas?

[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 He estado pisoteando las uvas solo en el lagar, y de los pueblos no había ningún hombre conmigo; en mi ira y en mi pasión, fueron aplastados bajo mis pies; y mis ropas han sido salpicadas con su sangre, y toda mi ropa ha sido profanada.

[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 venganza está en mi corazón, y ha llegado 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 Y vi que no había quien ayudara, y me asombre que no hubiera quien apoyara; así que mi brazo hizo la obra de la salvación, y mi ira fue mi apoyo.

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 Y en mi furor los pueblos fueron aplastados bajo mis pies, y los embriagué en mi ira, y derribaré a tierra sus fortalezas.

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 Daré noticias de las misericordias del Señor, y sus grandes obras, incluso todas las cosas que el Señor ha hecho por nosotros, en su gran gracia a la casa de Israel; incluso todo lo que ha hecho por nosotros en sus innumerables 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 Porque él dijo: Verdaderamente ellos son mi pueblo, hijos que no mienten; así que él fue su salvador de todos sus problemas.

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

9 En toda angustia de ellos él fue angustiado, y él ángel de su presencia los salvo; en su amor y en su compasión él los liberó, y él los tomó en sus brazos, cuidándolos a través de los años.

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 fueron contra él, causando dolor a su Santo Espíritu; por eso se volvió contra ellos y les hizo la guerra.

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 llegaron a su mente los tiempos antiguos, los días de Moisés, su siervo; y dijeron: ¿Dónde está el que los sacó del mar con el pastor de su rebaño? ¿Dónde está el que puso entre ellos su Espíritu Santo?

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 hizo que su glorioso poder, fuera a la diestra de Moisés, por quien las aguas se separaron ante ellos, para hacerse un nombre 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 ¿Quién los hizo pasar por las aguas profundas, como un caballo en la tierra baldía?

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 Como el ganado que desciende al valle, ellos fueron sin caer, con el espíritu del Señor guiándonos; así que fuiste delante de tu pueblo, para hacerte un gran nombre.

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, desde tu santa y gloriosa morada: ¿Dónde está tu celo y tu poder? No detengas el movimiento de tu compasión y tus misericordias.

[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 Porque tú eres nuestro padre, aunque Abraham no nos conoce, e Israel no nos recuerde en nada: tú, Señor, eres nuestro padre; Desde los primeros días has tomado nuestra causa.

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 Oh Señor, ¿por qué nos envías a vagar por tus caminos, endureciendo nuestros corazones, para que no tengamos miedo de ti? Vuelve, por tus siervos, las tribus de tu herencia.

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 fue dueño de tu santuario, para que haya sido aplastado bajo los pies de nuestros enemigos?

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

19 Nos hemos convertido en aquellos que nunca fueron gobernados por ti, como si nunca hubiéramos sido llamados por tu nombre.

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