< Isaiah 43 >

1 But now this is what Yahweh says, he who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: “Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are 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 pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned, and the flames will not destroy 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 Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange 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 Since you are precious and special in my sight, I love you; therefore I will give people in exchange for you, and other peoples in exchange 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 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you 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, 'Hand them over;' and to the south, 'Do not hold any back;' Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the remote regions 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 everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
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 the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they have ears.
Bring out a people blind and [are] eyes there and deaf [people] and ears [belong] to them.
9 All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them could have declared this and announced to us earlier events? Let them bring their witnesses to prove themselves right, let them listen and affirm, '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,” declares Yahweh, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe in me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no god formed, and there will be none 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, I am Yahweh, and there is no savior but me.
I I [am] Yahweh and there not except me [is] a deliverer.
12 I have declared, saved, and proclaimed, and there is no other god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “I am God.
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 this day on I am he, and no one can rescue anyone from my hand. I act, and who can turn it back?”
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 This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and lead them all down as fugitives, turning the Babylonians' expressions of joy into songs of lamentation.
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, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
I [am] Yahweh holy [one] your [the] creator of Israel king your.
16 This is what Yahweh says (who opened a way through the sea and a path in the mighty waters,
Thus he says Yahweh who made in the sea a way and in waters mighty a path.
17 who led out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty host. They fell down together; they will never rise again; they are extinguished, quenched like a burning wick.)
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 “Do not think about these former things, nor consider the things of long ago.
May not you remember former [things] and ancient [things] may not you consider.
19 Look, I am about to do a new thing; now it begins to happen; do you not perceive it? I will make a road in the desert and streams of water in the wilderness.
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 wild animals of the field will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, for my chosen people to drink,
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 this people whom I formed for myself, that they might recount my praises.
A people which I formed for myself praise my they will recount.
22 But you have not called on me, Jacob; you have become tired of me, Israel.
And not me you have called on O Jacob for you have grown weary with me O Israel.
23 You have not brought me any of your sheep as burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings, nor wearied you with demands for incense.
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 bought me no sweet-smelling cane with money, neither have you poured out to me the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your evil deeds.
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, yes, I, am he who blots out your offenses for my own sake; and I will not call to mind your sins any longer.
I I [am] he [who is] wiping out transgressions your for own sake my and sins your not I will remember.
26 Remind me of what happened. Let us debate together; present your cause, that you may be proved innocent.
Cause to remember me let us enter into judgment together recount O you so that you may be justified.
27 Your first father sinned, and your leaders have transgressed against me.
Ancestor your first he sinned and spokesmen your they transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I will defile the holy officials; I will hand Jacob over to complete destruction, and Israel to abusive humiliation.”
So I may profane [the] officials of holiness and I will give to total destruction Jacob and Israel to reviling words.
