Isaiah 43
1 But now thus hath said the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; mine art thou.
[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 Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers, —they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.
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 thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba in place of thee.
Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Ægyptum, Æthopiam, et Saba, pro te.
4 Since thou art precious in my eyes, art honorable, and I indeed do love thee: therefore will I give men in place of thee, and nations instead of thy soul.
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 thee; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.
Noli timere, quia ego tecum sum; ab oriente adducam semen tuum, et ab occidente congregabo te.
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Withhold not: 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 terræ.
7 Every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; whom I have formed; yea, whom I have made.
Et omnem qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8 Bring forward the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Educ foras populum cæcum, et oculos habentem; surdum, et aures ei sunt.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can announce this? and cause us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is 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 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: in order that ye may know and believe me, and understand, that I am he; before me there was no god formed, and after me there will 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, I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
12 I myself have announced it, and I have saved, and I have let it be heard, and there was no strange [god] among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
Ego annuntiavi, et salvavi; auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus: vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
13 Yea, from the [first] day am I he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: if I will work, is there one that can hinder it?
Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat. Operabor, et quis avertet illud?]
14 Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, For your sake did I send to Babylon, and in swift vessels brought I them all down, and the Chaldeans, in the ships of their joyful song.
[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, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Ego Dominus, Sanctus vester, creans Israël, rex vester.
16 Thus hath said the Lord, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Hæc dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam;
17 Who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power: together shall they lie down, they shall not rise up again; they are extinct, like a wick are they quenched.
qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum: simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent; contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18 Remember not the former things, and ancient events regard no more.
Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; will ye not acknowledge it? I will even make in the wilderness a way, and in the desert rivers.
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 honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;
Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones, et struthiones: quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.
21 This people which I have formed for myself; my praise shall they relate.
Populum istum formavi mihi: laudem meam narrabit.]
22 But on me hast thou not called, O Jacob; for thou art become weary of me, O Israel.
[Non me invocasti, Jacob, nec laborasti in me, Israël.
23 Thou hast not brought unto me the lamb of thy burnt-offerings; and with thy sacrifices hast thou not honored me: I have not troubled thee with meat-offerings, nor wearied thee 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 Thou hast not bought for me sweet cane, and with the fat of thy sacrifices hast thou not satisfied me; but thou hast troubled me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy 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, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.
Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: relate thou, in order that thou mayest be justified.
Reduc me in memoriam, et judicemur simul: narra si quid habes ut justificeris.
27 Thy first father did sin, and they that plead for thee transgressed against me.
Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui prævaricati sunt in me:
28 Therefore do I profane the holy princes, and I give up Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
et contaminavi principes sanctos; dedi ad internecionem Jacob, et Israël in blasphemiam.]
