< Isaiah 43 >
1 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 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] 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 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 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 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 called by name my and [whom] for glory my I created him [whom] I formed him also I made him.
8 Bring out a people blind and [are] eyes there and deaf [people] and ears [belong] to them.
9 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] 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 I [am] Yahweh and there not except me [is] a deliverer.
12 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 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 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] Yahweh holy [one] your [the] creator of Israel king your.
16 Thus he says Yahweh who made in the sea a way and in waters mighty a path.
17 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 May not you remember former [things] and ancient [things] may not you consider.
19 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 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 A people which I formed for myself praise my they will recount.
22 And not me you have called on O Jacob for you have grown weary with me O Israel.
23 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 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 I [am] he [who is] wiping out transgressions your for own sake my and sins your not I will remember.
26 Cause to remember me let us enter into judgment together recount O you so that you may be justified.
27 Ancestor your first he sinned and spokesmen your they transgressed against me.
28 So I may profane [the] officials of holiness and I will give to total destruction Jacob and Israel to reviling words.
