Ésaïe 63
La Bible du Semeur
Le divin Vendangeur
63 Qui donc est-il, ╵celui qui arrive d’Edom,
qui nous vient de Botsra ╵en habits écarlates,
drapé avec splendeur,
et qui s’avance fièrement
avec sa grande force ?
– C’est moi, dit l’Eternel, ╵qui parle avec justice
et qui ai le pouvoir ╵de vous sauver[a].
2 – Pourquoi tes vêtements ╵sont-ils tachés de rouge
et pourquoi tes habits ╵ressemblent-ils ╵à ceux des vendangeurs ╵qui foulent au pressoir ?
3 – C’est que j’ai été seul ╵à fouler la cuvée.
Et nul parmi les peuples[b] ╵n’a été avec moi,
oui, j’ai foulé les peuples ╵dans ma colère,
je les ai piétinés ╵dans mon indignation.
Leur sang a rejailli ╵sur mes habits,
j’ai taché tous mes vêtements[c].
4 J’avais fixé ╵le jour de la rétribution,
elle est venue, ╵l’année de la libération ╵de tous les miens.
5 J’ai regardé partout :
personne pour m’aider !
Je me suis étonné[d] :
n’y a-t-il donc personne ╵pour me prêter main-forte ?
Mais mon bras a fait œuvre de salut pour moi,
et mon indignation ╵a été mon soutien.
6 J’ai écrasé les peuples ╵dans ma colère,
je les ai enivrés ╵dans ma fureur,
j’ai fait couler leur sang par terre.
Louange et prière
Les grâces du Seigneur
7 Je rappellerai les actes de bienveillance ╵de l’Eternel
et les motifs de le louer :
il a tout fait pour nous.
Je dirai les nombreux bienfaits ╵dont il a comblé Israël,
le bien qu’il leur a fait
dans sa tendresse
et sa grande bonté.
8 Il avait dit : ╵« Oui, les Israélites ╵sont mon peuple,
ce sont des fils ╵qui ne décevront pas. »
Et il les a sauvés.
9 Dans toutes leurs détresses,
il a été lui-même ╵dans la détresse,
et l’ange qui se tient en sa présence ╵les a sauvés.
Dans son amour ╵et dans sa compassion,
il les a libérés,
il les a soutenus ╵et il les a portés
tous les jours d’autrefois.
10 Mais eux, ils se sont rebellés
et ils ont attristé ╵son Esprit Saint.
Dès lors, il s’est changé ╵pour eux en ennemi,
et les a combattus.
11 Alors ils se sont souvenus ╵des temps anciens ╵et de Moïse, et de son peuple[e]
et ils ont dit : ╵« Où est celui ╵qui les a fait sortir
de la mer avec le berger ╵de son troupeau ?
Et où est celui qui a mis ╵son Esprit Saint au milieu d’eux[f],
12 celui qui a tendu ╵son bras glorieux
aux côtés de Moïse,
pour fendre les eaux devant eux
et qui s’est fait ainsi ╵un renom éternel ? »
13 Oui, il les a fait avancer ╵à travers les abîmes
comme un cheval dans le désert
sans qu’ils trébuchent.
14 Ils ressemblaient à un troupeau ╵qui rejoint la vallée,
lorsque l’Esprit de l’Eternel ╵les a menés vers le repos ;
ainsi tu as conduit ton peuple
et tu t’es fait ╵une glorieuse renommée.
Seigneur, aie pitié de nous
15 Du haut du ciel, ╵de ta demeure sainte,
du séjour de ta gloire, ╵regarde et vois !
Que sont donc devenus ╵ton amour passionné ╵et ta puissance ?
Ton cœur s’est-il donc retenu ╵de frémir de tendresse,
de compassion pour moi ?
16 Car tu es notre père :
Abraham ne nous connaît pas,
et Israël non plus ╵ne nous reconnaît pas.
Mais toi, ô Eternel, ╵toi, tu es notre père,
et ton nom est depuis toujours ╵« Notre Libérateur ».
17 Pourquoi, ô Eternel, ╵pourquoi nous fais-tu donc errer ╵loin des voies que tu as prescrites ?
Pourquoi rends-tu ╵notre cœur obstiné ╵de sorte que nous ne te craignions pas ?
Reviens, de grâce, pour tes serviteurs
et les tribus qui t’appartiennent.
18 Ton peuple saint a possédé ╵le pays pour bien peu de temps ;
nos ennemis ont piétiné ╵ton sanctuaire.
19 Nous sommes depuis bien longtemps
comme des gens ╵sur qui tu ne régnerais pas,
qui ne porteraient pas ton nom.
Oh, si tu descendais du ciel !
Oh, si tu déchirais le ciel
et si tu descendais !
Devant toi, les montagnes ╵s’effondreraient !

以賽亞書 63
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
主報應列國
63 這位身披紅衣、
穿著華麗、充滿力量、
從以東的波斯拉闊步而來的是誰呢?
「是宣告公義、
有拯救大能的我。」
2 你的衣服為何是紅色的,
好像榨酒池中踩踏葡萄者的衣服?
3 「我獨自在榨酒池踩踏,
萬民中無人跟我在一起。
我在憤怒中踩踏他們,
在烈怒中踐踏他們;
他們的血濺到我的衣服上,
染紅了我的衣服。
4 我心中定了報仇的日子,
我救贖我子民之年已經來臨。
5 我環顧四周,驚訝地看見無人幫助,無人扶持。
於是,在烈怒的推動下,
我用臂膀獨自拯救。
6 我在憤怒中踐踏萬民,
讓他們飽嚐我的烈怒,
把他們的血倒在地上。」
頌讚與禱告
7 因耶和華為我們所做的一切,
我要述說祂的慈愛和祂可歌可頌的作為,
述說祂本著憐憫和大愛賜給以色列人的厚恩。
8 祂說:「他們的確是我的子民,
不會背叛我。」
因此,祂做他們的救主。
9 祂苦他們所苦,
親自[a]拯救他們。
祂本著慈愛和憐憫救贖了他們,
自古以來一直扶持、照顧他們。
10 他們卻叛逆,使祂的聖靈憂傷。
於是,祂與他們為敵,
親自攻擊他們。
11 後來,他們想起古時候,
想起了摩西和他的百姓,便問,
帶領百姓及其牧者摩西從海裡出來的那位在哪裡?
將自己的聖靈降在他們中間的那位在哪裡?
12 用榮耀的臂膀扶持摩西,
在他們面前把海水分開,
使自己威名永存的那位在哪裡?
13 帶領他們經過大海,
猶如馬行平川不會失腳的那位在哪裡?
14 耶和華的靈使他們得到安歇,
猶如牲畜下到山谷。
耶和華啊,你就是這樣引領你的子民,
以樹立自己榮耀的名。
15 求你從天上垂顧,
從你聖潔、榮耀的居所垂看。
你的熱忱和大能在哪裡呢?
難道你不再眷愛、憐憫我們嗎?
16 雖然亞伯拉罕不認識我們,
以色列不承認我們,
但你是我們的父親。
耶和華啊,你是我們的父親,
你自古以來就是我們的救贖主。
17 耶和華啊!你為何使我們偏離你的路,
使我們硬著心不敬畏你呢?
求你為了你的僕人,
你的產業——以色列各支派而改變心意!
18 你的聖民曾短暫地擁有你的聖所,
如今它已被我們的敵人踏平。
19 我們如此淪落,
好像從未被你治理過,
從來不屬於你。

Isaiah 63
New International Version
God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption
63 Who is this coming from Edom,(A)
from Bozrah,(B) with his garments stained crimson?(C)
Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?(D)
“It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save.”(E)
2 Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress?(F)
3 “I have trodden the winepress(G) alone;
from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled(H) them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;(I)
their blood spattered my garments,(J)
and I stained all my clothing.
4 It was for me the day of vengeance;(K)
the year for me to redeem had come.
5 I looked, but there was no one(L) to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(M) achieved salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me.(N)
6 I trampled(O) the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk(P)
and poured their blood(Q) on the ground.”
Praise and Prayer
7 I will tell of the kindnesses(R) of the Lord,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the Lord has done for us—
yes, the many good things(S)
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion(T) and many kindnesses.
8 He said, “Surely they are my people,(U)
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.(V)
9 In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel(W) of his presence(X) saved them.[a]
In his love and mercy he redeemed(Y) them;
he lifted them up and carried(Z) them
all the days of old.(AA)
10 Yet they rebelled(AB)
and grieved his Holy Spirit.(AC)
So he turned and became their enemy(AD)
and he himself fought(AE) against them.
11 Then his people recalled[b] the days of old,
the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,(AF)
with the shepherd of his flock?(AG)
Where is he who set
his Holy Spirit(AH) among them,
12 who sent his glorious arm(AI) of power
to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters(AJ) before them,
to gain for himself everlasting renown,(AK)
13 who led(AL) them through the depths?(AM)
Like a horse in open country,
they did not stumble;(AN)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
they were given rest(AO) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
to make for yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from heaven(AP) and see,
from your lofty throne,(AQ) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal(AR) and your might?
Your tenderness and compassion(AS) are withheld(AT) from us.
16 But you are our Father,(AU)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(AV) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(AW) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(AX) from your ways
and harden our hearts(AY) so we do not revere(AZ) you?
Return(BA) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(BB)
18 For a little while(BC) your people possessed your holy place,
but now our enemies have trampled(BD) down your sanctuary.(BE)
19 We are yours from of old;
but you have not ruled over them,
they have not been called[c] by your name.(BF)

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.
Isaiah 63
New King James Version
The Lord in Judgment and Salvation
63 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is [a]glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Why (A)is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
3 “I have (B)trodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.
4 For the (C)day of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.
5 (D)I looked, but (E)there was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own (F)arm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
Made them drunk in My fury,
And brought down their strength to the earth.”
God’s Mercy Remembered
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord
And the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has bestowed on us,
And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies,
According to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people,
Children who will not lie.”
So He became their Savior.
9 (G)In all their affliction He was [b]afflicted,
(H)And the Angel of His Presence saved them;
(I)In His love and in His pity He redeemed them;
And (J)He bore them and carried them
All the days of old.
10 But they (K)rebelled and (L)grieved His Holy Spirit;
(M)So He turned Himself against them as an enemy,
And He fought against them.
11 Then he (N)remembered the days of old,
Moses and his people, saying:
“Where is He who (O)brought them up out of the sea
With the [c]shepherd of His flock?
(P)Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them,
12 Who led them by the right hand of Moses,
(Q)With His glorious arm,
(R)Dividing the water before them
To make for Himself an everlasting name,
13 (S)Who led them through the deep,
As a horse in the wilderness,
That they might not stumble?”
14 As a beast goes down into the valley,
And the Spirit of the Lord causes him to rest,
So You lead Your people,
(T)To make Yourself a glorious name.
A Prayer of Penitence
15 (U)Look down from heaven,
And see (V)from Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning (W)of Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?
16 (X)Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham (Y)was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 O Lord, why have You (Z)made us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 (AA)Your holy people have possessed it but a little while;
(AB)Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.
