ଯିଶାଇୟ 63
1 ଇଦୋମରୁ, ଲାଲରଙ୍ଗ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପରିହିତ ବସୋରାରୁ ଏ ଯେ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି, ସେ କିଏ ? ନିଜ ପରିଧଯେ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଗୌରବନ୍ବିତ ଓ ନିଜ ମହାଶକ୍ତି ରେ ୟିଏ ବିଜେ କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ସେ କିଏ ? ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କୁହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଧର୍ମବାଦୀ ଓ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ କରିବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ ଅଟୁଁ।
2 ଆପଣଙ୍କର ପରିଧଯେ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ରକ୍ତବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଓ କୁଣ୍ଡ ରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାମର୍ଦ୍ଦନକାରୀର ବସ୍ତ୍ରପରି କାହିଁକି ?
3 ସେ ଉତ୍ତର କରନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏକାକୀ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷା ମର୍ଦ୍ଦନ କରିଅଛୁ ଓ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ସଙ୍ଗେ କହେି ନ ଥିଲେ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ନିଜର କୋରଧ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦଳନ କଲୁ ଓ ନିଜର କୋପ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦନ କଲୁ। ଏଣୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରାଣ ରକ୍ତର ଛିଟା ରେ ଆମ୍ଭ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ରଞ୍ଜିତ ହେଲା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ରକ୍ତ ରଞ୍ଜିତ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପରିଧାନ କରିଅଛୁ।
4 କାରଣ ପ୍ରତି ଶାଧେର ଦିନ ଆମ୍ଭ ହୃଦଯ ରେ ଥିଲା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭ ମୁକ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ବର୍ଷ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହାଇେଅଛି।
5 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଅନାଇଲୁ, ମାତ୍ର ସାହାୟ୍ଯକାରୀ କହେି ନ ଥିଲେ। ସହାୟକ ନ ଥିବାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହେଲୁ। ଏଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ନିଜ ବାହୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ନିକଟକୁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ଆଣିଲା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭର କୋପ ଆମ୍ଭର ସହାୟତା କଲା।
6 ପୁଣି ଆମ୍ଭେ ନିଜର କୋର୍ଧ ରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦଳି ପକାଇଲୁ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭ କୋପ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମତ୍ତ କରାଇଲୁ ; ପୁଣି ଭୂମିରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରାଣର ରକ୍ତ ଢ଼ାଳି ଦଲେୁ।
7 ଆମ୍ଭେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସ୍ନହପେୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରୁଣାସବୁ କୀର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିବା ଓ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଯେ ସବୁ ଉପକାର କରିଅଛନ୍ତି, ପୁଣି ନିଜର ନାନାବିଧ ଦୟା ଓ ଅପାର ସ୍ନହପେୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରୁଣା ଅନୁସାରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ବଂଶର ଯେଉଁ ପ୍ରଚୁର ମଙ୍ଗଳ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି, ତଦନୁସା ରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା ଗାନ କରିବ।
8 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଲୋକ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଅସତ୍ଯ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିବେ ନାହିଁ, ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭର ସନ୍ତାନ। ଏଣୁ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ତ୍ରାଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ହେଲେ।
9 ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସବୁ ଦୁଃଖ ରେ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହେଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କର ଉପସ୍ଥିତି ସ୍ବରୂପ ଦୂତ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ କଲେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନିଜ ପ୍ ରମେ ଓ ଦୟାରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କଲେ ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ଅତି ପୁରୁଣା ସମୟ ଦଇେ ବହନ କଲେ।
10 ମାତ୍ର ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବିପକ୍ଷ ରେ ବିଦ୍ରୋହ କଲେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ଦୁଃଖିତ କଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶତ୍ରୁ ହାଇଗେଲେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବିପକ୍ଷ ରେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କଲେ।
11 ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ କାଳ ଓ ମାଶାେ ଓ ନିଜର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ମରଣ କଲେ, ସେ ନିଜର ମଷେପାଳକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମୁଦ୍ର ପାର କରାଇ ଆଣିଲେ ଓ ସେ ୟିଏକି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧିଅରେ ନିଜର ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ, ସେ କାହାଁନ୍ତି ?
12 ଯେ ନିଜର ଅଦ୍ଭୁତ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ନିଜର ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ରେ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ ପରିଚାଳିତ କଲେ ଓ ନିଜ ପାଇଁ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳସ୍ଥାଯୀ ନାମ ସ୍ଥାପନ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସମ୍ମୁଖ ରେ ଜଳକୁ ଦୁଇଭାଗ କଲେ, ସେ କାହାଁନ୍ତି ?
13 ଯେ ସମୁଦ୍ର ମଧିଅରେ ବାଟ କଢ଼ାଇ ନେଲେ ଓ ଅଶ୍ବତୁଲ୍ଯ ଗମନ କରାଇଲେ ମରୁଭୂମିରେ ୟିଏକି ଝୁଣ୍ଟିଲେ ନାହିଁ ସେ କାହାଁନ୍ତି ?
14 ଯେପରି ପଶୁପଲ ଉପତ୍ୟକାକୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ୟାଆନ୍ତି ସହେିପରି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବିଶ୍ରାମ କରାଇଲେ। ଏହିପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜ ନାମକୁ ଗୌରବାନ୍ବିତ କରିବାକୁ ନିଜ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଚାଳିତ କର।
15 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ଉପରୁ ଦେଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ପବିତ୍ରତା ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପରାକ୍ରମର ବସତି ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଦେଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶାଶ୍ବତ ପ୍ ରମେ କାହିଁ ? ତୁମ୍ଭର କୋହ ଓ ଦୟା କାହିଁ।
16 ଯଦିଓ ଅବ୍ରହାମ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ଓ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଯାଜକ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ବୀକାର କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପିତା ଏବଂ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଯେ, ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଛ।
17 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କାହିଁକି ତୁମ୍ଭ ପଥରୁ ବିଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ କରୁଅଛି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଭୟ କରିବାକୁ ଆମ୍ଭର ଅନ୍ତଃକରଣକୁ କଠିନ କରୁଅଛ ? ନିଜର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଓ ନିଜର ଅଧିକାର ସ୍ବରୂପ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀଗଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଫରେିଆସ।
18 ତୁମ୍ଭର ପବିତ୍ର ଲୋକମାନେ ଅଳ୍ପକାଳ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ଅଧିକାର କଲେ ; ମାତ୍ର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବିପକ୍ଷଦଳ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହେି ପବିତ୍ର ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ପଦଦଳିତ କଲେ।
19 ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କବେେ ଶାସନ କରି ନାହଁ ଓ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନାମ ରେ କବେେ ଖ୍ଯାତ ହାଇେ ନ ଥିଲେ, ଦୀର୍ଘକାଳ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ଆମ୍ଭେ ହାଇେଅଛୁ।
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.
0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,
1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
