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 dieser, der von Edom kommt, von Bozra in hochroten Kleidern, dieser, prächtig in seinem Gewande, der einherzieht in der Größe seiner Kraft? Ich bin's, der in Gerechtigkeit redet, der mächtig ist zu retten. -
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 Rot an deinem Gewande, und sind deine Kleider wie die 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 habe die Kelter allein getreten, und von den Völkern war niemand bei mir; und ich zertrat sie in meinem Zorn und zerstampfte sie in meinem Grimm; und ihr Saft spritzte auf meine Kleider, und ich besudelte mein ganzes Gewand.
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 der Tag der Rache war in meinem Herzen, und das Jahr meiner Erlösung war gekommen.
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.
Und ich blickte umher, und da war kein Helfer; und ich staunte, und da war kein Unterstützer. Da hat mein Arm mir geholfen, und mein Grimm, er hat mich unterstützt.
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.”
Und ich trat die Völker nieder in meinem Zorn und machte sie trunken in meinem Grimm, und ich ließ ihren Saft zur Erde rinnen.
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 Gütigkeiten Jehovas gedenken, der Ruhmestaten Jehovas, nach allem, was Jehova uns erwiesen hat, und der großen Güte gegen das Haus Israel, welche er ihnen erwiesen nach seinen Erbarmungen und nach der Menge seiner Gütigkeiten.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
Und er sprach: Sie sind ja mein Volk, Kinder, die nicht trügen werden; und er ward ihnen zum 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].
In all ihrer Bedrängnis war er bedrängt, und der Engel seines Angesichts hat sie gerettet. In seiner Liebe und in seiner Erbarmung hat er sie erlöst; und er hob sie empor und trug sie alle Tage vor alters.
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.
Sie aber sind widerspenstig gewesen und haben seinen heiligen Geist betrübt; da wandelte er sich ihnen in einen Feind: Er selbst 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?
Da gedachte sein Volk der Tage vor alters, der Tage Moses: “Wo ist der, welcher sie aus dem Meere heraufführte samt den Hirten seiner Herde? Wo ist der, welcher seinen heiligen Geist in ihre Mitte 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 seinen herrlichen Arm zur Rechten Moses einherziehen ließ; der die Wasser vor ihnen her spaltete, um sich einen ewigen Namen zu machen;
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 durch die Tiefen ziehen ließ, gleich dem Rosse in der Steppe, ohne daß sie strauchelten?
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).”
Gleich dem Vieh, welches in das Tal hinabsteigt, brachte der Geist Jehovas sie zur Ruhe. Also hast du dein Volk geleitet, um dir einen herrlichen Namen zu machen.” -
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.
“Blicke vom Himmel herab und sieh, von der Wohnstätte deiner Heiligkeit und deiner Majestät! Wo sind dein Eifer und deine Machttaten? Die Regung deines Innern und deine Erbarmungen halten sich gegen mich zurück.
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.
Denn du bist unser Vater; denn Abraham weiß nicht von uns, und Israel kennt uns nicht; du, Jehova, bist unser Vater; unser Erlöser von alters her ist 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, Jehova, läßt du uns von deinen Wegen abirren, verhärtest unser Herz, daß wir dich nicht fürchten? Kehre zurück um deiner Knechte willen, der Stämme deines Erbteils!
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Auf eine kleine Zeit hat dein heiliges Volk es besessen: Unsere Widersacher haben dein Heiligtum zertreten.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Wir sind zu solchen geworden, über die du von alters her nicht geherrscht hast, die nicht genannt gewesen sind nach deinem Namen.” -
