Isaiah 43

1 But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

And now thus he says Yahweh [who] created you O Jacob and [who] formed you O Israel may not you be afraid for I have redeemed you I have called [you] by name your [belong] to me you.

2 When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

If you will pass in the waters [will be] with you I and in the rivers not they will overflow you if you will walk in fire not you will be burned and flame not it will burn you.

3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour; I have given Egypt as a price for you, Ethiopia and Seba for you.

For I [am] Yahweh God your [the] holy [one] of Israel deliverer your I have given ransom your Egypt Cush and Seba in place of you.

4 Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

Because you are precious in view my you are honored and I I love you and I may give humankind in place of you and peoples in place of life your.

5 Have no fear, for I am with you: I will take your seed from the east, and get you together from the west;

May not you be afraid for [am] with you I from [the] east I will bring offspring your and from [the] west I will gather you.

6 I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

I will say to the north deliver up and to [the] south may not you withhold bring sons my from a distance and daughters my from [the] end of the earth.

7 Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.

Every [one who] is called by name my and [whom] for glory my I created him [whom] I formed him also I made him.

8 Send out the blind people who have eyes, and those who have ears, but they are shut.

Bring out a people blind and [are] eyes there and deaf [people] and ears [belong] to them.

9 Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.

All the nations they have assembled together so they may gather peoples who? among them will he declare this and former [things] will they proclaim to? us let them appoint witnesses their so they may be justified and they may hear and they may say truth.

10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

You [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and servant my whom I have chosen so that you may know and you may believe me and you may perceive that I [am] he before me not it was formed a god and after me not it will be.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and there is no saviour but me.

I I [am] Yahweh and there not except me [is] a deliverer.

12 I gave the word, and made it clear, and there was no strange god among you: for this reason you are my witnesses, says the Lord.

I I have declared and I have saved and I have proclaimed and there not among you [was] a strange [god] and you [are] witnesses my [the] utterance of Yahweh and I [am] God.

13 From time long past I am God, and from this day I am he: there is no one who is able to take you out of my hand: when I undertake a thing, by whom will my purpose be changed?

Also from a day I [am] he and there not from hand my [is] a deliverer I act and who? will he revoke it.

14 The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel for sake your I have sent Babylon towards and I will bring down [as] fugitives all of them and [the] Chaldeans in ships shout of joy their.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Maker of Israel, your King.

I [am] Yahweh holy [one] your [the] creator of Israel king your.

16 This is the word of the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a road through the deep waters;

Thus he says Yahweh who made in the sea a way and in waters mighty a path.

17 Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.

Who sent out chariotry and horse[s] an army and a strong [one] together they lay down not they rose they were extinguished like wick they were quenched.

18 Give no thought to the things which are past; let the early times go out of your minds.

May not you remember former [things] and ancient [things] may not you consider.

19 See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.

Here I [am] about to do a new [thing] now it is springing up ¿ not do you know it also I will make in the wilderness a way in a desolate place rivers.

20 The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

It honors me [the] animal[s] of the field jackals and daughters of an ostrich for I have put in the wilderness water rivers in a desolate place to give drink to people my chosen one my.

21 Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.

A people which I formed for myself praise my they will recount.

22 But you have made no prayer to me, O Jacob: and you have given no thought to me, O Israel.

And not me you have called on O Jacob for you have grown weary with me O Israel.

23 You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.

Not you have brought to me [the] sheep of burnt offerings your and sacrifices your not you have honored me not I have burdened you with offering[s] and not I have made weary you with frankincense.

24 You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.

Not you have bought for me for money calamus and [the] fat of sacrifices your not you have satisfied me nevertheless you have burdened me with sins your you have made weary me with iniquities your.

25 I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.

I I [am] he [who is] wiping out transgressions your for own sake my and sins your not I will remember.

26 Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.

Cause to remember me let us enter into judgment together recount O you so that you may be justified.

27 Your first father was a sinner, and your guides have gone against my word.

Ancestor your first he sinned and spokesmen your they transgressed against me.

28 Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.

So I may profane [the] officials of holiness and I will give to total destruction Jacob and Israel to reviling words.
