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 Israhel noli timere quia redemi te et vocavi 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 conbureris 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 Israhel salvator tuus dedi propitiationem tuam Aegyptum Aethiopiam 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 quoniam tecum ego 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 adfer 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 et 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 adnuntiet istud et quae prima sunt audire nos faciat dent testes eorum et 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 intellegatis 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 adnuntiavi 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 Israhel propter vos emisi Babylonem et detraxi vectes universos et Chaldeos in navibus suis gloriantes
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”
ego Dominus Sanctus vester creans Israhel 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 strutiones 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 Israhel
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 ture
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 internicionem Iacob et Israhel in blasphemiam
