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!”

¿Quién es éste que viene de Edom, de la ciudad de Bosra? con las ropas manchadas de carmesí? ¿Quién es este que lleva ropas de esplendor, que se inclina hacia adelante con su gran fuerza mientras marcha? Soy yo, el que siempre dice la bondad y la verdad, el que tiene el poder de salvar.

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].”

¿Por qué tu ropa es roja, como si hubieras pisado uvas en un lagar?

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.

He pisado el lagar yo solo; de las naciones de alrededor nadie vino a ayudarme. Por eso, en mi cólera los pisé como si fueran uvas, en mi furia los pisoteé. Es su sangre la que ha manchado mis vestidos.

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].

Porque decidí que éste era el día de mi venganza; ha llegado el año de mi redención.

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.

Miré a mi alrededor, pero nadie vino a ayudarme; me sorprendió que no hubiera nadie que me asistiera. Así que los salvé sólo con mi fuerza, y mi propia ira me mantuvo en pie.

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.”

En mi furia pisoteé a las naciones; en mi cólera las embriagué y derramé su sangre por el suelo.

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.

Quiero contarle a todo el mundo el amor confiable del Señor. Alabaré al Señor por todo lo que ha hecho por nosotros: todas las cosas buenas que ha hecho por los descendientes de Israel a causa de su bondad y su infinito amor digno de confianza.

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

Dijo: ¿No son ellos mi pueblo, hijos que no me mentirían? Así que se convirtió en su Salvador.

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].

Sufrió con ellos en todo su sufrimiento, y el ángel de su presencia los salvó. En su amor y bondad los redimió. Los recogió y los llevó a lo largo de todos esos años, hace mucho tiempo.

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.

Pero ellos se rebelaron contra él y causaron dolor a su Espíritu Santo, por lo que para ellos se convirtió en un enemigo y luchó contra ellos.

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?

Entonces ellos pensó en los días de antaño, cuando Moisés sacó a su pueblo de Egipto. Gritaron: ¿Dónde está el que llevó a Israel a través del mar, junto con los pastores de su rebaño? ¿Dónde está el que puso su Espíritu Santo en medio de su pueblo?

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?

¿Dónde está el que levantó la mano derecha de Moisés y utilizó su asombroso poder para dividir el mar delante de ellos, dándole una reputación tan maravillosa y duradera?

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.

¿Dónde está el que los condujo a través de las profundidades del mar? Eran como un caballo corriendo por el desierto, no tropezaban.

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).”

Como el ganado que desciende a un valle, el Espíritu del Señor les dio descanso. Así guiaste a tu pueblo, ganándote una gloriosa reputación.

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.

¡Señor, míranos desde el cielo! ¡Vigila desde tu alto hogar, en tu santidad y gloria! ¿Dónde está tu entusiasmo y tu poder? ¡No me muestras tus sentimientos de simpatía y bondad!

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.

Pero sigues siendo nuestro Padre, aunque Abraham no nos conozca e Israel no nos reconozca. Tú, Señor, eres nuestro Padre; siempre te has llamado nuestro Redentor desde hace mucho tiempo.

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.

Señor, ¿por qué nos haces desviarnos de tus caminos y nos obstinas para que no te respetemos? Vuelve a nosotros por el bien de tus siervos, las tribus que te pertenecen.

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

Tu Templo nos perteneció por un tiempo, pero luego nuestros enemigos lo invadieron y lo destruyeron.

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

Fuimos tuyos desde tiempos remotos, pero hemos acabado como gente que nunca has gobernado, nunca nos has identificado como tuyos.
