Liber Isaiae

Isaiae, chapter 63, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 63 Vulgate

   1 "Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, tinctis vestibus de Bosra? Iste formosus in stola sua, gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suae"." Sum ego, qui loquor iustitiam, potens ad salvandum".
   2 "Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantis in torculari?".
   3 "Torcular calcavi solus, et de gentibus non erat vir mecum; calcavi eos in furore meo et conculcavi eos in ira mea. Et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea, et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi.
   4 Dies enim ultionis in corde meo, annus redemptionis meae venit.
   5 Circumspexi, et non erat auxiliator, miratus sum, et non fuit qui adiuvaret; et salvavit mihi brachium meum, et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi.
   6 Et conculcavi populos in furore meo et contrivi eos in indignatione mea et effudi in terram sanguinem eorum".
   7 Miserationum Domini recordabor, laudum Domini super omnibus, quae reddidit nobis Dominus, et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israel, quae largitus est eis secundum misericordias suas et secundum multitudinem miserationum suarum.
   8 Et dixit: "Verumtamen populus meus est, filii, qui non deludent"; et factus est eis salvator.
   9 In omni tribulatione eorum non legatus neque angelus, sed ipse salvavit eos. In dilectione sua et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos et sustulit eos et portavit eos cunctis diebus saeculi.
   10 Ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt et afflixerunt spiritum sanctitatis eius; et conversus est eis in inimicum et ipse debellavit eos.
   11 Et recordatus est dierum antiquorum, Moysi et populi sui. Ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastore gregis sui? Ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum sanctitatis suae?
   12 Qui adduxit ad dexteram Moysi brachium maiestatis suae, qui scidit aquas ante eos, ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum,
   13 qui deduxit eos per abyssos quasi equum per desertum, et non impingebant?
   14 Sicut armentum, quod descendit per vallem, spiritus Domini fecit eos quiescere; sic conduxisti populum tuum, ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae.
   15 Attende de caelo et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo et gloriae tuae; ubi est zelus tuus et fortitudo tua? Commotio viscerum tuorum et misericordiae tuae super me continuerunt se.
   16 Tu enim pater noster. Abraham enim nescit nos, et Israel ignorat nos; tu, Domine, pater noster, redemptor noster: a saeculo nomen tuum.
   17 Quare errare nos fecisti, Domine, de viis tuis, indurasti cor nostrum, ne timeremus te? Convertere propter servos tuos, tribus hereditatis tuae.
   18 Brevi tempore hereditaverunt populum sanctum tuum, hostes nostri conculcaverunt sanctuarium tuum.
   19 Facti sumus a saeculo, cum non dominareris nostri, neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos. Utinam dirumperes caelos et descenderes! A facie tua montes defluerent.

King James Version

   1 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.
