Esias 43
1 And now thus says the Lord God that made you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you [by] your name; you are mine.
[Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus creans te, Jacob, et formans te, Israël: Noli timere, quia redemi te, et vocavi te nomine tuo: meus es tu.
2 And if you pass through water, I am with you; and the rivers shall not overflow you: and if you go through fire, you shall not be burned; the flame shall not burn you.
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, that saves you: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia your ransom, and [given] Soene for you.
Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Ægyptum, Æthopiam, et Saba, pro te.
4 Since you became precious in my sight, you have become glorious, and I have loved you: and I will give men for you, and princes for 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 Fear not; for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and will 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, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, 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 terræ.
7 [even] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:
Et omnem qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8 and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.
Educ foras populum cæcum, et oculos habentem; surdum, et aures ei sunt.
9 All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the truth.
Omnes gentes congregatæ sunt simul, et collectæ sunt tribus. Quis in vobis annuntiet istud, et quæ prima sunt audire nos faciet? Dent testes eorum, justificentur, et audiant, et dicant: Vere.
10 Be you my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.
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 am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.
Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
12 I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] among you: you are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,
Ego annuntiavi, et salvavi; auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus: vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
13 even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?
Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat. Operabor, et quis avertet illud?]
14 Thus says the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.
[Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor vester, Sanctus Israël: Propter vos misi in Babylonem, et detraxi vectes universos, et Chaldæos in navibus suis gloriantes.
15 I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.
Ego Dominus, Sanctus vester, creans Israël, rex vester.
16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;
Hæc dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam;
17 who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.
qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum: simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent; contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18 Remember you not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.
Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
19 Behold, I [will] do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and you shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.
Ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur, utique cognoscetis ea: ponam in deserto viam, et in invio flumina.
20 the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,
Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones, et struthiones: quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.
21 my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.
Populum istum formavi mihi: laudem meam narrabit.]
22 I have not now called you, O Jacob; neither have I made you weary, O Israel.
[Non me invocasti, Jacob, nec laborasti in me, Israël.
23 You have not brought me the sheep of your whole burnt offering; neither have you glorified me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with sacrifices, neither have I 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 præbui in thure.
24 Neither have you purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices: but you did stand before me in your sins, and in your iniquities.
Non emisti mihi argento calamum, et adipe victimarum tuarum non inebriasti me: verumtamen servire me fecisti in peccatis tuis; præbuisti mihi laborem in iniquitatibus tuis.
25 I, [even] I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and your sins; and I will not remember [them].
Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26 But do you remember, and let us plead [together]: do you first confess your transgressions, that you may be justified.
Reduc me in memoriam, et judicemur simul: narra si quid habes ut justificeris.
27 Your fathers first, and your princes have transgressed against me.
Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui prævaricati sunt in me:
28 And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
et contaminavi principes sanctos; dedi ad internecionem Jacob, et Israël in blasphemiam.]
