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.

Isaías 63
Dios Habla Hoy
Dios castiga a sus enemigos
63 —¿Quién es ése que viene de Bosrá, capital de Edom,
con su ropa teñida de rojo,
que viene vestido espléndidamente
y camina con fuerza terrible?
—Soy yo, que anuncio la victoria
y soy poderoso para salvar.
2 —¿Y por qué tienes rojo el vestido,
como si hubieras pisado uvas con los pies?
3 —Sí, estuve pisando las uvas yo solo,
nadie me ayudó;
lleno de ira pisoteé a mis enemigos,
los aplasté con furor,
y su sangre me salpicó los vestidos
y me manchó toda la ropa.
4 Yo decidí que un día tendría que hacer justicia;
había llegado el tiempo de libertar a mi pueblo.
5 Miré, y no había quien me ayudara;
quedé admirado de que nadie me apoyara.
Mi brazo me dio la victoria
y mi ira me sostuvo.
6 Lleno de ira aplasté a las naciones,
las destruí con furor
e hice correr su sangre por el suelo.
Bondad de Dios para Israel
7 Yo quiero hablar del amor del Señor,
cantar sus alabanzas
por todo lo que él ha hecho por nosotros,
por su inmensa bondad con la familia de Israel,
por lo que ha hecho en su bondad
y en su gran amor.
8 Él dijo: «Ellos son mi pueblo,
hijos que no habrán de traicionarme.»
Y él los salvó
9 de todas sus aflicciones.
No fue un enviado suyo quien los salvó;
fue el Señor en persona.
Él los libertó por su amor y su misericordia,
los levantó, los tomó en brazos.
Así lo ha hecho siempre.
10 Pero ellos se rebelaron contra el Señor
y ofendieron su santidad;
por eso se volvió
enemigo de ellos
y les hizo la guerra.
11 Ellos se acordaron de los tiempos antiguos,
de Moisés que libertó a su pueblo,
y se preguntaban:
«¿Dónde está Dios, que salvó del Nilo
a Moisés, pastor de su rebaño?
¿Dónde está el que puso en Moisés su santo espíritu,
12 el que hizo que su glorioso poder
acompañara a Moisés,
el que dividió el mar delante de su pueblo
para alcanzar fama eterna,
13 el que los hizo pasar por el fondo del mar sin resbalar,
como caballos por el desierto,
14 como ganado que baja a la llanura?»
El espíritu del Señor los guiaba.
Así condujo a su pueblo
y alcanzó fama y gloria.
Oración a Dios para implorar su ayuda
15 Mira, Señor, desde el cielo,
desde el lugar santo y glorioso en que vives.
¿Dónde están tu ardiente amor y tu fuerza?
¿Dónde están tus sentimientos?
¿Se agotó tu misericordia con nosotros?
16 ¡Tú eres nuestro padre!
Aunque Abraham no nos reconozca,
ni Israel se acuerde de nosotros,
tú, Señor, eres nuestro padre;
desde siempre eres nuestro redentor.
17 ¿Por qué, Señor, haces que nos desviemos de tus caminos,
y endureces nuestros corazones para que no te respetemos?
Cambia ya, por amor a tus siervos
y a las tribus que te pertenecen.
18 ¡Qué poco tiempo tu pueblo santo fue dueño del país!
Nuestros enemigos han pisoteado tu templo.
19 Estamos como si tú nunca nos hubieras gobernado,
como si nunca hubiéramos llevado tu nombre.
Isaiah 63
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.
