1 那从以东、从波斯拉而来, 身穿赤红色的衣服, 装扮华丽、能力强大、大步前行的, 是谁呢?"就是我, 是凭着公义说话, 有大能拯救的。"
2 你的服装为什么有红色的呢?你的衣服为什么像个踹压酒池的人的衣服一样呢?
3 "我独自踹酒槽; 万民之中没有一人与我同在; 我在忿怒中把他们踹下, 在烈怒中把他们践踏; 他们的血溅在我的衣服上, 我把我所有的衣裳都染污了。
4 因为报仇的日子早已在我的心里, 我救赎的年日早已经来到。
5 我观看, 但没有人帮助; 我诧异, 因没有人扶持; 所以我用自己的膀臂为我施行了拯救, 我的烈怒扶持了我,
6 我在忿怒中践踏万民, 在烈怒中使他们沉醉, 又把他们的血倒在地上。"
7 我照着耶和华为我们所作的一切, 提说耶和华的慈爱, 耶和华可称颂的事, 和他赐给以色列家的大福, 就是照着他的怜悯和丰盛的慈爱为他们作成的。
8 他曾说: "他们真是我的子民, 不行虚假的儿子", 于是, 在他们的一切苦难中, 他就作了他们的拯救者。
9 他不再是敌对者, 并且他面前的使者拯救了他们。他以自己的爱和怜悯救赎了他们; 在古时的一切日子, 他背负他们, 怀抱他们。
10 可是, 他们竟然悖逆, 使他的圣灵忧伤; 所以他转作他们的仇敌, 亲自攻击他们。
11 那时, 他们想起古时的日子, 就是摩西和他的人民的日子, 说: 那把人民和他羊群的牧者从海里领上来的, 在哪里呢?那把自己的圣灵降在他们中间的, 在哪里呢?
12 那使自己荣耀的膀臂在摩西的右边行走, 那在他们面前把水分开, 为要建立永远的名的, 他在哪里呢?
13 那带领他们走过深海, 像马走过旷野一样, 使他们不致跌倒的, 在哪里呢?
14 耶和华的灵使他们得了安息, 好像牲畜下到山谷; 你也这样引导你的人民, 为要建立荣耀的名。
15 求你从天上垂顾, 从你圣洁、荣耀的居所观看。你的热心和你的大能在哪里呢?你爱心的同情和怜悯向我止住了。
16 亚伯拉罕虽然不认识我们, 以色列也不承认我们, 但你是我们的父。耶和华啊! 你是我们的父, 从亘古以来, 你的名字就是"我们的救赎主"。
17 耶和华啊! 你为什么使我们走错, 离开你的道路?使我们的心刚硬, 不敬畏你呢?求你为你众仆人的缘故, 为你产业的各支派的缘故, 回心转意吧!
18 你的圣民不过暂时得着你的圣所, 我们的敌人已经践踏了你的圣所。
19 我们成了好像你从未治理过的人, 又像未曾得称为你名下的人。
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching 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 winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance was in my 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 wrath, it upheld me. 6 And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.
7 I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah 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 deal falsely: 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 grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself 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 shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them? 12 that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 13 that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not? 14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them 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 are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me. 16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name. 17 O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18 Thy holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 19 We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, as they that were not called by thy name.
