< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
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 Why art thou red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winepress?
Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain 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 my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Dies enim ultionis in corde meo: annus redemptionis meæ venit.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld 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 And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down 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 will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
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 said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
Et dixit: Verumtamen populus meus est, filii non negantes: et factus est eis Salvator.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
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 he was turned to be their enemy, 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 remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? 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 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Qui eduxit ad dexteram Moysen brachio maiestatis suæ, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum:
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
Qui eduxit eos per abyssos, quasi equum in deserto non impingentem:
14 As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
Quasi animal in campo descendens, Spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit: sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriæ.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy heart and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
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 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
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 us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thy 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 thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Quasi nihilum possederunt populum sanctum tuum: hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctificationem tuam.
19 We are thine: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Facti sumus quasi in principio, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos.
