Isaia 63

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 “ Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, tinctis vestibus de Bosra? Iste formosus in stola sua, gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suae ”. “ Sum ego, qui loquor iustitiam, potens ad salvandum ”.	1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah in crimson garments, so magnificently dressed, marchingso ful of strength? - It is I, whose word is saving justice, whose power is to save.
2 “ Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantis in torculari? ”.	2 -Why are your garments red, your clothes like someone treading the winepress?
3 “ Torcular calcavi solus, et de gentibus non erat 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.	3 -I have trodden the winepress alone; of my people, not one was with me. So I trod them down in myanger, I trampled on them in my wrath. Their blood squirted over my garments and al my clothes are stained.
4 Dies enim ultionis in corde meo, annus redemptionis meae venit.	4 For I have decided on a day of vengeance, my year of retribution has come.
5 Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator, miratus sum, et non fuit qui adiuvaret; et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.	5 I looked: there was no one to help me; I was appal ed but could find no supporter! Then my own armcame to my rescue and my own fury supported me.
6 Et conculcavi populos in furore meo et contrivi eos in indignatione mea et effudi in terram sanguinem eorum ”.	6 I crushed the peoples in my anger, I shattered them in my fury and sent their blood streaming to theground.
7 Miserationum Domini recordabor, laudum Domini super omnibus, quae reddidit nobis Dominus, et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israel, quae largitus est eis secundum misericordias suas et secundum multitudinem miserationum suarum.	7 I shal recount Yahweh's acts of faithful love, Yahweh's praises, in return for all that Yahweh has donefor us, for his great kindness to the House of Israel, for all that he has done in his mercy, for the abundance ofhis acts of faithful love.
8 Et dixit: “ Verumtamen populus meus est, filii, qui non deludent ”; et factus est eis salvator.	8 For he said, 'Truly they are my people, children who will not betray me,' and he became their Saviour.
9 In omni tribulatione eorum non legatus neque angelus, sed ipse salvavit eos. In dilectione sua et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos et sustulit eos et portavit eos cunctis diebus saeculi.	9 In al their troubles, it was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them. In his love and pityhe himself redeemed them, lifted them up and carried them throughout the days of old.
10 Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt et afflixerunt spiritum sanctitatis eius; et conversus est eis in inimicum et ipse debellavit eos.	10 But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit. Then he became their enemy and himself waged war onthem.
11 Et recordatus est dierum antiquorum, Moysi et populi sui. Ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastore gregis sui? Ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum sanctitatis suae?	11 But he cal ed the past to mind, Moses his servant. Where is he who saved them from the sea, theShepherd of his flock? Where was he who put his holy Spirit among them,
12 Qui adduxit ad dexteram Moysi brachium maiestatis suae, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum,	12 whose glorious arm led the way by Moses' right hand? Who divided the waters before them to winhimself everlasting renown,
13 qui deduxit eos per abyssos quasi equum per desertum, et non impingebant?	13 who led them through the depths as easily as a horse through the desert? They stumbled as little
14 Sicut armentum, quod descendit per vallem, spiritus Domini fecit eos quiescere; sic conduxisti populum tuum, ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae.	14 as cattle going down to the plain. Yahweh's Spirit led them to rest. This was how you guided yourpeople to win yourself glorious renown.
15 Attende de caelo et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo et gloriae tuae; ubi est zelus tuus et fortitudo tua? Commotio viscerum tuorum et misericordiae tuae super me continuerunt se.	15 Look down from heaven and see from your holy and glorious dwel ing. Where is your zeal and yourmight? Are your deepest feelings, your mercy to me, to be restrained?
16 Tu enim pater noster. Abraham enim nescit nos, et Israel ignorat nos; tu, Domine, pater noster, redemptor noster: a saeculo nomen tuum.	16 After all, you are our Father. If Abraham will not own us, if Israel wil not acknowledge us, you,Yahweh, are our Father, 'Our Redeemer' is your name from of old.
17 Quare errare nos fecisti, Domine, de viis tuis, indurasti cor nostrum, ne timeremus te? Convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuae.	17 Why, Yahweh, do you let us wander from your ways and let our hearts grow too hard to fear you?Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.
18 Brevi tempore hereditaverunt populum sanctum tuum, hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctuarium tuum.	18 Your holy people have owned it for so short a time, our enemies have trampled on your sanctuary.
19 Facti sumus a saeculo, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos. Utinam dirumperes caelos et descenderes! A facie tua montes defluerent.	19 We have long been like those you do not rule, people who do not bear your name. Oh, that you wouldtear the heavens open and come down -- in your presence the mountains would quake,
