Isaiah 63

1Who 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.

מִי־זֶה ׀ בָּא מֵאֱדֹום חֲמוּץ בְּגָדִים מִבָּצְרָה זֶה הָדוּר בִּלְבוּשֹׁו צֹעֶה בְּרֹב כֹּחֹו אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר בִּצְדָקָה רַב לְהֹושִׁיעַ׃ (2803)

2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

מַדּוּעַ אָדֹם לִלְבוּשֶׁךָ וּבְגָדֶיךָ כְּדֹרֵךְ בְּגַת׃ (1247)

3I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

פּוּרָה ׀ דָּרַכְתִּי לְבַדִּי וּמֵעַמִּים אֵין־אִישׁ אִתִּי וְאֶדְרְכֵם בְּאַפִּי וְאֶרְמְסֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְיֵז נִצְחָם עַל־בְּגָדַי וְכָל־מַלְבּוּשַׁי אֶגְאָלְתִּי׃ (4350)

4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

כִּי יֹום נָקָם בְּלִבִּי וּשְׁנַת גְּאוּלַי בָּאָה׃ (1134)

5And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

וְאַבִּיט וְאֵין עֹזֵר וְאֶשְׁתֹּומֵם וְאֵין סֹומֵךְ וַתֹּושַׁע לִי זְרֹעִי וַחֲמָתִי הִיא סְמָכָתְנִי׃ (3527)

6And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

וְאָבוּס עַמִּים בְּאַפִּי וַאֲשַׁכְּרֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְאֹורִיד לָאָרֶץ נִצְחָם׃ (2091)

7I 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.

חַסְדֵי יְהוָה ׀ אַזְכִּיר תְּהִלֹּת יְהוָה כְּעַל כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־גְּמָלָנוּ יְהוָה וְרַב־טוּב לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־גְּמָלָם כְּרַחֲמָיו וּכְרֹב חֲסָדָיו׃ (4455)

8For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

וַיֹּאמֶר אַךְ־עַמִּי הֵמָּה בָּנִים לֹא יְשַׁקֵּרוּ וַיְהִי לָהֶם לְמֹושִׁיעַ׃ (1759)

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; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

בְּכָל־צָרָתָם ׀ [לֹא כ] (לֹו ק) צָר וּמַלְאַךְ פָּנָיו הֹושִׁיעָם בְּאַהֲבָתֹו וּבְחֶמְלָתֹו הוּא גְאָלָם וַיְנַטְּלֵם וַיְנַשְּׂאֵם כָּל־יְמֵי עֹולָם׃ (3735)

10But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

וְהֵמָּה מָרוּ וְעִצְּבוּ אֶת־רוּחַ קָדְשֹׁו וַיֵּהָפֵךְ לָהֶם לְאֹויֵב הוּא נִלְחַם־בָּם׃ (1928)

11Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

וַיִּזְכֹּר יְמֵי־עֹולָם מֹשֶׁה עַמֹּו אַיֵּה ׀ הַמַּעֲלֵם מִיָּם אֵת רֹעֵי צֹאנֹו אַיֵּה הַשָּׂם בְּקִרְבֹּו אֶת־רוּחַ קָדְשֹׁו׃ (3725)

12That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

מֹולִיךְ לִימִין מֹשֶׁה זְרֹועַ תִּפְאַרְתֹּו בֹּוקֵעַ מַיִם מִפְּנֵיהֶם לַעֲשֹׂות לֹו שֵׁם עֹולָם׃ (3782)

13That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

מֹולִיכָם בַּתְּהֹמֹות כַּסּוּס בַּמִּדְבָּר לֹא יִכָּשֵׁלוּ׃ (1790)

14As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

כַּבְּהֵמָה בַּבִּקְעָה תֵרֵד רוּחַ יְהוָה תְּנִיחֶנּוּ כֵּן נִהַגְתָּ עַמְּךָ לַעֲשֹׂות לְךָ שֵׁם תִּפְאָרֶת׃ (4554)

15Look 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 bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

הַבֵּט מִשָּׁמַיִם וּרְאֵה מִזְּבֻל קָדְשְׁךָ וְתִפְאַרְתֶּךָ אַיֵּה קִנְאָתְךָ וּגְבוּרֹתֶךָ הֲמֹון מֵעֶיךָ וְרַחֲמֶיךָ אֵלַי הִתְאַפָּקוּ׃ (4650)

16Doubtless 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.

כִּי־אַתָּה אָבִינוּ כִּי אַבְרָהָם לֹא יְדָעָנוּ וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יַכִּירָנוּ אַתָּה יְהוָה אָבִינוּ גֹּאֲלֵנוּ מֵעֹולָם שְׁמֶךָ׃ (2965)

17O 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 thine inheritance.

לָמָּה תַתְעֵנוּ יְהוָה מִדְּרָכֶיךָ תַּקְשִׁיחַ לִבֵּנוּ מִיִּרְאָתֶךָ וּב לְמַעַן עֲבָדֶיךָ שִׁבְטֵי נַחֲלָתֶךָ׃ (4031)

18The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

לַמִּצְעָר יָרְשׁוּ עַם־קָדְשֶׁךָ צָרֵינוּ בֹּוסְסוּ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ׃ (2434)

19We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

הָיִינוּ מֵעֹולָם לֹא־מָשַׁלְתָּ בָּם לֹא־נִקְרָא שִׁמְךָ עֲלֵיהֶם לוּא־קָרַעְתָּ שָׁמַיִם יָרַדְתָּ מִפָּנֶיךָ הָרִים נָזֹלּוּ׃ (4366)
