< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that commeth from Edom, with red garments from Bozrah? hee is glorious in his apparel and walketh in his great strength: I speake in righteousnesse, and am mightie to saue.
Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, tinctis vestibus de Bosra? iste formosus in stola sua, gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suæ. Ego, qui loquor iustitiam, et propugnator sum ad salvandum.
2 Wherefore is thine apparel red, and thy garments like him that treadeth in ye wine presse?
Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
3 I haue troden the wine presse alone, and of all people there was none with mee: for I will treade them in mine anger, and tread them vnder foote in my wrath, and their blood shalbe sprinkled vpon my garments, and I will staine all my raiment.
Torcular calcavi solus, et de Gentibus non est vir mecum: calcavi eos in furore meo, et conculcavi eos in ira mea: et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea, et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the yeere of my redeemed is come.
Dies enim ultionis in corde meo annus redemptionis meæ venit.
5 And I looked, and there was none to helpe, and I wondered that there was none to vpholde: therefore mine owne arme helped me, and my wrath it selfe sustained me.
Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator: quæsivi et non fuit qui adiuvaret: et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.
6 Therefore I wil tread downe the people in my wrath, and make them drunken in mine indignation, and wil bring downe their strength to the earth.
Et conculcavi populos in furore meo, et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea, et detraxi in terram virtutem eorum.
7 I wil remember the mercies of the Lord and the prayses of the Lord according vnto all that the Lord hath giuen vs, and for the great goodnesse toward the house of Israel, which hee hath giuen them according to his tender loue, and according to his great mercies.
Miserationum Domini recordabor, laudem Domini super omnibus, quæ reddidit nobis Dominus, et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israel, quæ largitus est eis secundum indulgentiam suam, et secundum multitudinem misericordiarum suarum.
8 For he saide, Surely they are my people, children that wil not lie: so he was their Sauiour.
Et dixit: Verumtamen populus meus est, filii non negantes: et factus est eis salvator.
9 In all their troubles he was troubled, and the Angel of his presence saued them: in his loue and in his mercie he redeemed them, and he bare them and caried them alwayes continually.
In omni tribulatione eorum non est tribulatus, et angelus faciei eius salvavit eos: in dilectione sua, et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos, et portavit eos, et elevavit eos cunctis diebus sæculi.
10 But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore was hee turned to be their enemie and he fought against them.
Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt, et afflixerunt spiritum sancti eius: et conversus est eis in inimicum, et ipse debellavit eos.
11 Then he remembred the olde time of Moses and his people, saying, Where is hee that brought them vp out of the Sea with the shepheard of his sheepe? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Et recordatus est dierum sæculi Moysi, et populi sui: Ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastoribus gregis sui? ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum sancti sui?
12 He led them by the right hand of Moses with his owne glorious arme, deuiding the water before them, to make himselfe an euerlasting Name.
Qui eduxit ad dexteram Moysen brachio maiestatis suæ, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum:
13 Hee led them through the deepe, as an horse in the wildernesse, that they should not stumble,
Qui eduxit eos per abyssos, quasi equum in deserto non impingentem:
14 As the beast goeth downe into the valley, the Spirite of the Lord gaue them rest: so diddest thou leade thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious Name.
Quasi animal in campo descendens, spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit: sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriæ.
15 Looke downe from heauen, and beholde from the dwelling place of thine holines, and of thy glory. Where is thy zeale and thy strength, the multitude of thy mercies, and of thy compassions? they are restrained from me.
Attende de cælo, et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo, et gloriæ tuæ: ubi est zelus tuus, et fortitudo tua, multitudo viscerum tuorum, et miserationum tuarum? super me continuerunt se.
16 Doutles thou art our Father: though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel knowe vs not, yet thou, O Lord, art our Father, and our redeemer: thy Name is for euer.
Tu enim pater noster, et Abraham nescivit nos, et Israel ignoravit nos: tu Domine pater noster, redemptor noster, a sæculo nomen tuum.
17 O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes? and hardened our heart from thy feare? Returne for thy seruants sake, and for the tribes of thine inheritance.
Quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis: indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te? convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuæ.
18 The people of thine holinesse haue possessed it, but a litle while: for our aduersaries haue troden downe thy Sanctuarie.
Quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum: hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam.
19 We haue bene as they, ouer whome thou neuer barest rule, and vpon whom thy Name was not called.
Facti sumus quasi in principio, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos.
