< Isaiah 43 >

1 And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name — thou [art] Mine.
Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus creans te Iacob, et formans te Israel: Noli timere, quia redemi te, et vocavi te nomine tuo: meus es tu.
2 When thou passest into waters, I [am] with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against 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 — Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.
Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus Sanctus Israel Salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Ægyptum, Æthopiam, et Saba pro te.
4 Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy 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 Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.
Noli timere, quia ego tecum sum: ab Oriente adducam semen tuum, et ab Occidente congregabo te.
6 I am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Dicam Aquiloni: Da: et Austro: Noli prohibere: affer filios meos de longinquo, et filias meas ab extremis terræ.
7 Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.
Et omnem, qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Educ foras populum cæcum, et oculos habentem: surdum, et aures ei sunt.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'
Omnes gentes congregatæ sunt simul, et collectæ sunt tribus: quis in vobis annunciet istud, et quæ prima sunt audire nos faciet? Dent testes eorum, iustificentur, et audiant, et dicant: Vere.
10 Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is 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] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.
Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
12 I — I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I [am] God.
Ego annunciavi, et salvavi: auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus: vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?
Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat: operabor, et quis avertet illud?
14 Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend — all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
Hæc dicit Dominus Redemptor vester, Sanctus Israel: Propter vos misi in Babylonem, et detraxi vectes universos, et Chaldæos in navibus suis gloriantes.
15 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.'
Ego Dominus Sanctus vester, Creans Israel Rex vester.
16 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.
Hæc dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam.
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down — they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'
Qui eduxit quadrigam et equum: agmen et robustum, simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent: contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.
Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
19 Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods.
Ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur, utique cognoscetis ea: ponam in deserto viam, et in invio flumina.
20 Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people — My chosen.
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 I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.
Populum istum formavi mihi, laudem meam narrabit.
22 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of me, O Israel,
Non me invocasti Iacob, nec laborasti in me Israel.
23 Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, 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 with money sweet cane, And [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only — thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied Me with thine 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 — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.
Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26 Cause me to remember — we are judged together, Declare thou that thou mayest be justified.
Reduc me in memoriam, et iudicemur simul: narra si quid habes ut iustificeris.
27 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters transgressed against me,
Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui prævaricati sunt in me.
28 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Et contaminavi principes sanctos, dedi ad internecionem Iacob, et Israel in blasphemiam.
