Isaiah 63
1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
| מי זה בא מאדום חמוץ בגדים מבצרה זה הדור בלבושו צעה ברב כחו אני מדבר בצדקה רב להושיע׃ |
2 Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
| מדוע אדם ללבושך ובגדיך כדרך בגת׃ |
3 “I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
| פורה דרכתי לבדי ומעמים אין איש אתי ואדרכם באפי וארמסם בחמתי ויז נצחם על בגדי וכל מלבושי אגאלתי׃ |
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
| כי יום נקם בלבי ושנת גאולי באה׃ |
5 I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.
| ואביט ואין עזר ואשתומם ואין סומך ותושע לי זרעי וחמתי היא סמכתני׃ |
6 I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”
| ואבוס עמים באפי ואשכרם בחמתי ואוריד לארץ נצחם׃ |
7 I will tell of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
| חסדי יהוה אזכיר תהלת יהוה כעל כל אשר גמלנו יהוה ורב טוב לבית ישראל אשר גמלם כרחמיו וכרב חסדיו׃ |
8 For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely;” so he became their Savior.
| ויאמר אך עמי המה בנים לא ישקרו ויהי להם למושיע׃ |
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. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
| בכל צרתם לא צר ומלאך פניו הושיעם באהבתו ובחמלתו הוא גאלם וינטלם וינשאם כל ימי עולם׃ |
10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.
| והמה מרו ועצבו את רוח קדשו ויהפך להם לאויב הוא נלחם בם׃ |
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, “Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”
| ויזכר ימי עולם משה עמו איה המעלם מים את רעי צאנו איה השם בקרבו את רוח קדשו׃ |
12 Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
| מוליך לימין משה זרוע תפארתו בוקע מים מפניהם לעשות לו שם עולם׃ |
13 Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?
| מוליכם בתהמות כסוס במדבר לא יכשלו׃ |
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the LORD’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.
| כבהמה בבקעה תרד רוח יהוה תניחנו כן נהגת עמך לעשות לך שם תפארת׃ |
15 Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
| הבט משמים וראה מזבל קדשך ותפארתך איה קנאתך וגבורתך המון מעיך ורחמיך אלי התאפקו׃ |
16 For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, LORD, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
| כי אתה אבינו כי אברהם לא ידענו וישראל לא יכירנו אתה יהוה אבינו גאלנו מעולם שמך׃ |
17 O LORD, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
| למה תתענו יהוה מדרכיך תקשיח לבנו מיראתך שוב למען עבדיך שבטי נחלתך׃ |
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
| למצער ירשו עם קדשך צרינו בוססו מקדשך׃ |
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
| היינו מעולם לא משלת בם לא נקרא שמך עליהם׃ |
