Isaiah 63
New American Standard Bible
God’s Vengeance on the Nations
63 Who is this who comes from (A)Edom,
With (B)garments of [a]glowing colors from (C)Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
[b]Marching in the greatness of His strength?
“It is I, the One who speaks in righteousness, (D)mighty to save.”
2 Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who (E)treads in the wine press?
3 “(F)I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no one with Me.
I also (G)trod them in My anger
And (H)trampled them in My wrath;
And (I)their [c]lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I [d]stained all My clothes.
4 For the (J)day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
5 I looked, but there was (K)no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My (L)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
6 I (M)trampled down the peoples in My anger
And made them (N)drunk with My wrath,
And I [e]poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
God’s Ancient Mercies Recalled
7 I will make mention of the (O)mercies of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has granted us,
And the great (P)goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has granted them according to His (Q)compassion
And according to the abundance of His mercies.
8 For He said, “Certainly they are (R)My people,
Sons who will not deal falsely.”
So He became their (S)Savior.
9 In all their distress [f](T)He was distressed,
And the (U)angel of His presence saved them;
In His (V)love and in His mercy He (W)redeemed them,
And He (X)lifted them and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they (Y)rebelled
And grieved His (Z)Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,
He fought against them.
11 Then (AA)His people remembered the days of old, of Moses.
Where is (AB)He who brought them up out of the sea with the [g]shepherds of His flock?
Where is He who (AC)put His Holy Spirit in the midst of [h]them,
12 Who caused His (AD)glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses,
Who (AE)divided the waters before them to make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 Who led them through the depths?
Like the horse in the wilderness, they did not (AF)stumble;
14 Like the cattle which go down into the valley,
The Spirit of the (AG)Lord gave [i]them rest.
So You (AH)led Your people,
To make for Yourself a glorious name.
You Are Our Father
15 (AI)Look down from heaven and see from Your holy and glorious (AJ)lofty habitation;
Where are Your (AK)zeal and Your mighty deeds?
The (AL)stirrings of Your heart and Your compassion are restrained toward me.
16 For You are our (AM)Father, though (AN)Abraham does not know us
And Israel does not recognize us.
You, Lord, are our Father,
Our (AO)Redeemer from ancient times is Your name.
17 Why, Lord, do You (AP)cause us to stray from Your ways
And (AQ)harden our heart from fearing You?
(AR)Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
18 Your holy people possessed Your sanctuary for a little while,
Our adversaries have (AS)trampled it down.
19 We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not called by Your name.

King James Version
63 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.
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3 I 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.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And 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.
6 And 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.
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.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
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 bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
11 Then 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?
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?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
14 As 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.
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 bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
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.
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 thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Isaias 63
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Paghihiganti ng Panginoon
63 Sino itong dumarating mula sa Bozra na sakop ng Edom, na ang maganda niyang damit ay namantsahan ng pula? Dumarating siya na taglay ang kapangyarihan.
Siya ang Panginoon na nagpapapahayag ng tagumpay ng kanyang mga mamamayan at may kapangyarihang magligtas. 2 Bakit napakapula ng kanyang damit, kasimpula ng damit ng taong nagpipisa ng ubas? 3 Sumagot ang Panginoon, “Sa aking galit, pinisa ko na parang ubas ang mga bansa. Mag-isa akong nagpisa; wala akong kasama. Ang dugo nila ay tumalsik sa aking damit; kaya namantsahan ang damit ko. 4 Ginawa ko ito dahil dumating na ang araw ng aking paghihiganti sa aking mga kaaway at ililigtas ko ang aking mga mamamayan. 5 Nagtaka ako dahil nakita kong wala kahit isa ang tumulong sa akin. Kaya ako lang ang nagligtas sa aking mga mamamayan sa pamamagitan ng aking kapangyarihan. Ang galit ko ang nagtulak sa akin para parusahan ang aking mga kaaway. 6 At sa galit ko, tinapakan ko ang mga bansa at pinasuray-suray sila na parang mga lasing. Ibinuhos ko sa lupa ang kanilang dugo.”
Ang Kabutihan ng Panginoon
7 Ihahayag ko ang pag-ibig ng Panginoon. Pupurihin ko siya sa lahat ng kanyang ginawa sa atin. Napakarami ng ginawa niya sa atin na mga mamamayan ng Israel dahil sa laki ng kanyang awa at pag-ibig.
8 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Totoo ngang sila ang aking mga mamamayan, silaʼy mga anak kong hindi magtataksil sa akin.” Kung kaya, iniligtas niya sila. 9 Sa lahat ng kanilang pagdadalamhati, nagdalamhati rin siya, at iniligtas niya sila sa pamamagitan ng anghel na nagpahayag ng kanyang presensya. Dahil sa pag-ibig niyaʼt awa, iniligtas niya sila. Noong una pa man, inalagaan niya sila sa lahat ng araw. 10 Pero nagrebelde sila at pinalungkot nila ang Banal niyang Espiritu. Kung kaya, kinalaban sila ng Panginoon, at silaʼy naging kaaway niya. 11 Pero sa huli naalala nila ang mga lumipas na panahon, noong pinalabas ni Moises ang mga mamamayan niya sa Egipto. Nagtanong sila, “Nasaan na ang Panginoon na nagpatawid sa atin[a] sa dagat kasama ng ating pinunong si Moises na parang isang pastol ng mga tupa? Nasaan na ang Panginoon na nagpadala sa atin ng kanyang Espiritu? 12 Nasaan na ang Panginoon na nagbigay ng kapangyarihan kay Moises, at naghati ng dagat sa ating harapan, para matanyag siya magpakailanman? 13 Nasaan na siya na gumabay sa atin nang tumawid tayo sa dagat? Ni hindi tayo natisod katulad ng mga kabayong dumadaan sa malinis na lugar. 14 Binigyan tayo ng Espiritu ng Panginoon ng kapahingahan, katulad ng mga bakang pumupunta sa pastulan sa kapatagan.”
Panginoon, pinatnubayan nʼyo po kami na inyong mga mamamayan para parangalan kayo. 15 Tingnan nʼyo po kami mula sa langit, na siyang iyong banal at dakilang tahanan. Nasaan na ang inyong pagmamalasakit sa amin, at ang inyong kapangyarihan na ipinakita noon sa amin? Nasaan na ang inyong pag-ibig at awa sa amin? 16 Sapagkat kayo ang aming Ama, kahit na hindi kami kilalanin ni Abraham at ni Jacob[b] na kanilang lahi. Totoo, Panginoon, kayo ang aming Ama, ang aming Tagapagligtas mula pa noon.
17 Panginoon, bakit nʼyo kami pinahintulutang mapalayo sa inyong mga pamamaraan? Bakit pinatitigas nʼyo ang aming mga puso na nagbunga ng hindi namin paggalang sa inyo? Magbalik po kayo sa amin, dahil kami ay mga lingkod nʼyo at tanging sa inyo lamang. 18 Sa maikling panahon, ang mga mamamayan ninyo ang nagmay-ari ng inyong templo. At ngayon, giniba na ito ng aming mga kaaway. 19 Kami ay inyo mula pa noon, pero itinuring nʼyo kaming hindi sa inyo, at parang hindi nʼyo pinamumunuan.
