Isaiah 63
1 [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!”
Wer ist der, so von Edom kommt, mit rötlichen Kleidern von Bazra, der so geschmückt ist in seinen Kleidern und einhertritt in seiner großen Kraft? Ich bin's, der Gerechtigkeit lehret und ein Meister bin zu helfen.
2 [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].”
Warum ist denn dein Gewand so rotfarb und dein Kleid wie eines Keltertreters?
3 [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.
Ich trete die Kelter allein, und ist niemand unter den Völkern mit mir. Ich habe sie gekeltert in meinem Zorn und zertreten in meinem Grimm. Daher ist ihr Vermögen auf meine Kleider gespritzt, und ich habe all mein Gewand besudelt.
4 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].
Denn ich habe einen Tag der Rache mir vorgenommen; das Jahr, die Meinen zu erlösen, ist kommen.
5 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.
Denn ich sah mich um, und da war kein Helfer, und ich war im Schrecken, und niemand enthielt mich, sondern mein Arm mußte mir helfen, und mein Zorn enthielt mich.
6 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.”
Darum habe ich die Völker zertreten in meinem Zorn und habe sie trunken gemacht in meinem Grimm und ihr Vermögen zu Boden gestoßen.
7 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.
Ich will der Güte des HERRN gedenken und des Lobes des HERRN in allem, das uns der HERR getan hat, und des großen Guts an dem Hause Israel, das er ihnen getan hat durch seine Barmherzigkeit und große Güte.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
Denn er sprach: Sie sind ja mein Volk, Kinder, die nicht falsch sind. Darum war er ihr Heiland.
9 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].
Wer sie ängstete, der ängstete ihn auch; und der Engel, so vor ihm ist, half ihnen. Er erlösete sie, darum daß er sie liebete und ihrer schonete. Er nahm sie auf und trug sie allezeit von alters her.
10 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.
Aber sie erbitterten und entrüsteten seinen Heiligen Geist; darum ward er ihr Feind und stritt wider sie.
11 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?
Und er gedachte wieder an die vorige Zeit, an den Mose, so unter seinem Volk war. Wo ist denn nun, der sie aus dem Meer führete, samt dem Hirten seiner Herde? Wo ist, der seinen Heiligen Geist unter sie gab,
12 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?
der Mose bei der rechten Hand führete durch seinen herrlichen Arm, der die Wasser trennete vor ihnen her, auf daß er ihm einen ewigen Namen machte,
13 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.
der sie führete durch die Tiefe, wie die Rosse in der Wüste, die nicht straucheln,
14 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).”
wie das Vieh, so ins Feld hinabgehet, welches der Odem des HERRN treibet? Also hast du auch dein Volk geführet, auf daß du dir einen herrlichen Namen machtest.
15 [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.
So schaue nun vom Himmel und siehe herab von deiner heiligen herrlichen Wohnung. Wo ist nun dein Eifer, deine Macht? Deine große herzliche Barmherzigkeit hält sich hart gegen mich.
16 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.
Bist du doch unser Vater. Denn Abraham weiß von uns nicht, und Israel kennet uns nicht. Du aber, HERR, bist unser Vater und unser Erlöser; von alters her ist das dein Name.
17 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.
Warum lässest du uns, HERR, irren von deinen Wegen und unser Herz verstocken, daß wir dich nicht fürchten? Kehre wieder um deiner Knechte willen, um der Stämme willen deines Erbes!
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Sie besitzen dein heiliges Volk schier gar; deine Widersacher zertreten dein Heiligtum.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Wir sind gleich wie vorhin, da du nicht über uns herrschetest, und wir nicht nach deinem Namen genannt waren.
