< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh fro Edom, in died clothis fro Bosra? this fair man in his `long cloth, goynge in the multitude of his vertu? Y that speke riytfulnesse, and am a forfiytere for to saue.
這從以東的波斯拉來, 穿紅衣服, 裝扮華美, 能力廣大, 大步行走的是誰呢? 就是我, 是憑公義說話, 以大能施行拯救。
2 Whi therfor is thi clothing reed? and thi clothis ben as of men stampynge in a pressour?
你的裝扮為何有紅色? 你的衣服為何像踹酒醡的呢?
3 Y aloone stampide the presse, and of folkis no man is with me; Y stampide hem in my stronge veniaunce, and Y defoulide hem in my wraththe; and her blood is spreynt on my clothis, and Y made foul alle my clothis.
我獨自踹酒醡; 眾民中無一人與我同在。 我發怒將他們踹下, 發烈怒將他們踐踏。 他們的血濺在我衣服上, 並且污染了我一切的衣裳。
4 For whi a dai of veniaunce is in myn herte, and the yeer of my yeldyng cometh.
因為,報仇之日在我心中; 救贖我民之年已經來到。
5 I lokide aboute, and noon helpere was; Y souyte, and noon was that helpide; and myn arm sauyde to me, and myn indignacioun, that helpide me.
我仰望,見無人幫助; 我詫異,沒有人扶持。 所以,我自己的膀臂為我施行拯救; 我的烈怒將我扶持。
6 And Y defoulide puplis in my stronge veniaunce; and Y made hem drunkun in myn indignacioun, and Y drow doun her vertu in to erthe.
我發怒,踹下眾民; 發烈怒,使他們沉醉, 又將他們的血倒在地上。
7 I schal haue mynde on the merciful doyngis of the Lord, Y schal preche the heriyng of the Lord on alle thingis whiche the Lord yeldide to vs, and on the multitude `of goodis of the hous of Israel, whiche he yaf to hem bi his foryyuenesse, and bi the multitude of hise mercies.
我要照耶和華一切所賜給我們的, 提起他的慈愛和美德, 並他向以色列家所施的大恩; 這恩是照他的憐恤 和豐盛的慈愛賜給他們的。
8 And the Lord seide, Netheles it is my puple, sones not denyynge, and he was maad a sauyour to hem in al the tribulacioun of hem.
他說:他們誠然是我的百姓, 不行虛假的子民; 這樣,他就作了他們的救主。
9 It was not set in tribulacioun, and the aungel of his face sauyde hem. In his loue and in his foryyuenesse he ayenbouyte hem, and he bar hem, and reiside hem in alle daies of the world.
他們在一切苦難中, 他也同受苦難; 並且他面前的使者拯救他們; 他以慈愛和憐憫救贖他們; 在古時的日子常保抱他們,懷搋他們。
10 Forsothe thei excitiden hym to wrathfulnesse, and turmentiden the spirit of his hooli; and he was turned in to an enemye to hem, and he ouercam hem in batel.
他們竟悖逆,使主的聖靈擔憂。 他就轉作他們的仇敵, 親自攻擊他們。
11 And he hadde mynde on the daies of the world, of Moises, and of his puple. Where is he, that ledde hem out of the see, with the scheepherdis of his floc? Where is he, that settide the spirit of his holi in the myddil therof;
那時,他們想起古時的日子- 摩西和他百姓,說: 將百姓和牧養他全群的人 從海裏領上來的在哪裏呢? 將他的聖靈降在他們中間的在哪裏呢?
12 whiche ledde out Moises to the riyt half in the arm of his maieste? which departide watris bifore hem, that he schulde make to hym silf a name euerlastynge;
使他榮耀的膀臂在摩西的右手邊行動, 在他們前面將水分開, 要建立自己永遠的名,
13 whiche ledde hem out thoruy depthis of watris, as an hors not stumblynge in desert,
帶領他們經過深處, 如馬行走曠野, 使他們不致絆跌的在哪裏呢?
14 as a beeste goynge doun in the feeld? The Spirit of the Lord was the ledere therof; so thou leddist thi puple, that thou madist to thee a name of glorie.
耶和華的靈使他們得安息, 彷彿牲畜下到山谷; 照樣,你也引導你的百姓, 要建立自己榮耀的名。
15 Biholde thou fro heuene, and se fro thin hooli dwellyng place, and fro the seete of thi glorie. Where is thi feruent loue, and thi strengthe, the multitude of thin entrailis, and of thi merciful doyngis?
求你從天上垂顧, 從你聖潔榮耀的居所觀看。 你的熱心和你大能的作為在哪裏呢? 你愛慕的心腸和憐憫向我們止住了。
16 Tho withelden hem silf on me. Forsothe thou art oure fadir, and Abraham knew not vs, and Israel knew not vs.
亞伯拉罕雖然不認識我們, 以色列也不承認我們, 你卻是我們的父。 耶和華啊,你是我們的父; 從萬古以來,你名稱為「我們的救贖主」。
17 Thou, Lord, art oure fadir, and oure ayenbiere; thi name is fro the world. Lord, whi hast thou maad vs to erre fro thi weies? thou hast made hard oure herte, that we dredden not thee? be thou conuertid, for thi seruauntis, the lynages of thin eritage.
耶和華啊,你為何使我們走差離開你的道, 使我們心裏剛硬、不敬畏你呢? 求你為你僕人, 為你產業支派的緣故,轉回來。
18 Thei hadden as nouyt thin hooli puple in possessioun, and oure enemyes defouliden thin halewyng.
你的聖民不過暫時得這產業; 我們的敵人已經踐踏你的聖所。
19 We ben maad as in the bigynnyng, whanne thou were not Lord of vs, nethir thi name was clepid to help on vs.
我們好像你未曾治理的人, 又像未曾得稱你名下的人。
