Isaiah 43
1 Now this is what the LORD says— He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine!
Et nunc haec dicit Dominus creans te Iacob, et formans te Israel: Noli timere, quia redemi te, et vocavi te nomine tuo: meus es tu.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Cum transieris per aquas, tecum ero, et flumina non operient te: cum ambulaveris in igne, non combureris, et flamma non ardebit in te:
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus sanctus Israel salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Aegyptum, Aethopiam, et Saba pro te.
4 Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.
Ex quo honorabilis factus es in oculis meis, et gloriosus: ego dilexi te, et dabo homines pro te, et populos pro anima tua.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west.
Noli timere, quia ego tecum sum: ab Oriente adducam semen tuum, et ab Occidente congregabo te.
6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—
Dicam Aquiloni: Da: et Austro: Noli prohibere: affer filios meos de longinquo, et filias meas ab extremis terrae.
7 everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”
Et omnem, qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8 Bring out a people who have eyes but are blind, and who have ears but are deaf.
Educ foras populum caecum, et oculos habentem: surdum, et aures ei sunt.
9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
Omnes gentes congregatae sunt simul, et collectae sunt tribus: quis in vobis annunciet istud, et quae prima sunt audire nos faciet? dent testes eorum, iustificentur, et audiant, et dicant: Vere.
10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.
Vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et servus meus, quem elegi: ut sciatis, et credatis mihi, et intelligatis quia ego ipse sum. Ante me non est formatus Deus, et post me non erit.
11 I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.
Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
12 I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.
Ego annunciavi, et salvavi: auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus: vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
13 Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat: operabor, et quis avertet illud?
14 Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
Haec dicit Dominus redemptor vester, sanctus Israel: Propter vos misi in Babylonem, et detraxi vectes universos, et Chaldaeos in navibus suis gloriantes.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”
Ego Dominus sanctus vester, creans Israel rex vester.
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the surging waters,
Haec dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam.
17 who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
Qui eduxit quadrigam et equum: agmen et robustum, simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent: contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18 “Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.
Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur, utique cognoscetis ea: ponam in deserto viam, et in invio flumina.
20 The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.
Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones et struthiones: quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.
21 The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.
Populum istum formavi mihi, laudem meam narrabit.
22 But you have not called on Me, O Jacob, because you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.
Non me invocasti Iacob, nec laborasti in me Israel.
23 You have not brought Me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
Non obtulisti mihi arietem holocausti tui, et victimis tuis non glorificasti me: non te servire feci in oblatione, nec laborem tibi praebui in thure.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Non emisti mihi argento calamum, et adipe victimarum tuarum non inebriasti me. Verumtamen servire me fecisti in peccatis tuis, praebuisti mihi laborem in iniquitatibus tuis.
25 I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.
Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26 Remind Me, let us argue the matter together. State your case, so that you may be vindicated.
Reduc me in memoriam, et iudicemur simul: narra si quid habes ut iustificeris.
27 Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen rebelled against Me.
Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui praevaricati sunt in me.
28 So I will disgrace the princes of your sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction and Israel to reproach.”
Et contaminavi principes sanctos, dedi ad internecionem Iacob, et Israel in blasphemiam.
