Isaiah 43
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1But now thus saith 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, thou art Mine.
1[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.
2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
2Cum transieris per aquas, tecum ero, et flumina non operient te; cum ambulaveris in igne, non combureris, et flamma non ardebit in te.
3For I am the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
3Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Ægyptum, Æthopiam, et Saba, pro te.
4Since thou art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
4Ex quo honorabilis factus es in oculis meis, et gloriosus, ego dilexi te, et dabo homines pro te, et populos pro anima tua.
5Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
5Noli timere, quia ego tecum sum; ab oriente adducam semen tuum, et ab occidente congregabo te.
6I will say to the north: 'Give up,' and to the south: 'Keep not back, bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;
6Dicam aquiloni: Da; et austro: Noli prohibere: affer filios meos de longinquo, et filias meas ab extremis terræ.
7Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.'
7Et omnem qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that have ears.
8Educ foras populum cæcum, et oculos habentem; surdum, et aures ei sunt.
9All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them hear, and say: 'It is truth.'
9Omnes 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.
10Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no God formed, neither shall any be after Me.
10Vos 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.
11I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.
11Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
12I have declared, and I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God.
12Ego annuntiavi, et salvavi; auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus: vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
13Yea, since the day was I am He, and there is none that can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse it?
13Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat. Operabor, et quis avertet illud?]
14Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.
14[Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor vester, Sanctus Israël: Propter vos misi in Babylonem, et detraxi vectes universos, et Chaldæos in navibus suis gloriantes.
15I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
15Ego Dominus, Sanctus vester, creans Israël, rex vester.
16Thus saith the LORD, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
16Hæc dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam;
17Who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:
17qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum: simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent; contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
18Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
19Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
19Ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur, utique cognoscetis ea: ponam in deserto viam, et in invio flumina.
20The beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;
20Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones, et struthiones: quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.
21The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.
21Populum istum formavi mihi: laudem meam narrabit.]
22Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself about Me, O Israel.
22[Non me invocasti, Jacob, nec laborasti in me, Israël.
23Thou hast not brought Me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
23Non obtulisti mihi arietem holocausti tui, et victimis tuis non glorificasti me; non te servire feci in oblatione, nec laborem tibi præbui in thure.
24Thou hast bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
24Non emisti mihi argento calamum, et adipe victimarum tuarum non inebriasti me: verumtamen servire me fecisti in peccatis tuis; præbuisti mihi laborem in iniquitatibus tuis.
25I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.
25Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26Put Me in remembrance, let us plead together; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
26Reduc me in memoriam, et judicemur simul: narra si quid habes ut justificeris.
27Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors have transgressed against Me.
27Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui prævaricati sunt in me:
28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.
28et contaminavi principes sanctos; dedi ad internecionem Jacob, et Israël in blasphemiam.]
