Jesaja 63
Svenska 1917
63 Vem är han som kommer från Edom, från Bosra i högröda kläder, så präktig i sin dräkt, så stolt i sin stora kraft? »Det är jag, som talar i rättfärdighet, jag, som är en mästare till att frälsa.»
2 Varför är din dräkt så röd? Varför likna dina kläder en vintrampares?
3 »Jo, en vinpress har jag trampat, jag själv allena, och ingen i folken bistod mig. Jag trampade dem i min vrede, trampade sönder dem i min förtörnelse. Då stänkte deras blod på mina kläder, och så fick jag hela min dräkt nedfläckad.
4 Ty en hämndedag hade jag beslutit, och mitt förlossningsår hade kommit.
5 Och jag skådade omkring mig, men ingen hjälpare fanns; jag stod där i förundran, men ingen fanns, som understödde mig. Då hjälpte mig min egen arm, och min förtörnelse understödde mig.
6 Jag trampade ned folken i min vrede och gjorde dem druckna i min förtörnelse, och jag lät deras blod rinna ned på jorden.»
7 HERRENS nådegärningar vill jag förkunna, ja, HERRENS lov, efter allt vad HERREN har gjort mot oss, den nåderike mot Israels hus, vad han har gjort mot dem efter sin barmhärtighet och sin stora nåd.
8 Ty han sade: »De äro ju mitt folk, barn, som ej svika.» Och så blev han deras frälsare.
9 I all deras nöd var ingen verklig nöd, ty hans ansiktes ängel frälste dem. Därför att han älskade dem och ville skona dem, förlossade han dem. Han lyfte dem upp och bar dem alltjämt, i forna tider.
10 Men de voro gensträviga, och de bedrövade hans heliga Ande; därför förvandlades han till deras fiende, han själv stridde mot dem.
11 Då tänkte hans folk på forna tider, de tänkte på Mose: Var är nu han som förde dem upp ur havet, jämte herdarna för hans hjord? Var är han som lade i deras bröst sin helige Ande,
12 var är han som lät sin härliga arm gå fram vid Moses högra sida, han som klöv vattnet framför dem och så gjorde sig ett evigt namn,
13 han som lät dem färdas genom djupen, såsom hästar färdas genom öknen, utan att stappla?
14 Likasom när boskapen går ned i dalen så fördes de av HERRENS Ande till ro. Ja, så ledde du ditt folk och gjorde dig ett härligt namn.
15 Skåda ned från himmelen och se härtill från din heliga och härliga boning. Var äro nu din nitälskan och dina väldiga gärningar, var är ditt hjärtas varkunnsamhet och din barmhärtighet? De hålla sig tillbaka från mig.
16 Du är ju dock vår fader; ty Abraham vet icke av oss, och Israel känner oss icke. Men du, HERRE, är vår fader; »vår förlossare av evighet», det är ditt namn.
17 Varför, o HERRE, låter du oss då gå vilse från dina vägar och förhärdar våra hjärtan, så att vi ej frukta dig? Vänd tillbaka för dina tjänares skull, för din arvedels stammars skull.
18 Allenast helt kort fick ditt heliga folk behålla sin besittning; våra ovänner trampade ned din helgedom.
19 Det är oss nu så, som om du aldrig hade varit herre över oss, om om vi ej hade blivit uppkallade efter ditt namn.
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.
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)
