Isaías 63— comparação

1Quem é este que vem de Edom,

2Por que a sua roupa está vermelha,

3“Eu pisei o lagar sozinho.

4Pois o dia da vingança estava no meu coração,

5Eu olhei, e não havia ninguém para ajudar;

6Eu pisei os povos na minha ira

7Falarei das bondades do SENHOR

8Pois ele disse: “Certamente, eles são o meu povo,

9Em toda a aflição deles, ele foi afligido,

10Mas eles se rebelaram

11Então ele se lembrou dos dias do passado,

12Quem fez o seu braço glorioso estar à direita de Moisés?

13Quem os guiou pelas profundezas,

14Como o gado que desce ao vale,

15Olhe do céu,

16Pois você é o nosso Pai,

17Ó SENHOR, por que você nos faz desviar dos seus caminhos,

18O seu povo santo a possuiu por pouco tempo.

19Nós nos tornamos como aqueles sobre os quais você nunca governou,

1Who 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.”

2Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?

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.

4For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

5I 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.

6I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on the earth.”

7I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh 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.

8For he said, “Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely;” so he became their Savior.

9In 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.

10But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

11Then 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?”

12Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?

14As the livestock that go down into the valley, Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself a glorious name.

15Look 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.

16For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.

17O Yahweh, 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.

18Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.

19We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
