Isaiah 43

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 And now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and who formed you, O Israel: Do not be afraid. For I have redeemed you, and I have called you by your name. You are mine.	1 ܗܫܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܒܪܟ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܓܒܠܟ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܪܩ̇ܬܟ ܘܩܪܝ̇ܬܟ ܒܫܡܟ ܕܕܝܠܝ ܐܢܬ
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you.	2 ܐܢ ܬܥܒܪ ܒܝܡܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܢܐ ܘܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܓܪܦܘܢܟ ܘܐܢ ܬܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܢܘܪܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܟܘܐ ܘܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܘܩܕܟ
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf.	3 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܦܪܘܩܟ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܚܠܦܝܟ ܘܠܟܘܫ ܘܠܫܒܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ
4 Since then, you have become honorable in my eyes, and glorious. I have loved you, and I will present men on behalf of you, and people on behalf of your life.	4 ܡܢ ܕܝܩܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܐܫܬܒܚܬ ܘܐܢܐ ܪܚܡ̇ܬܟ ܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܚܠܦܝܟ ܘܐܡ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܟ
5 Fear not, for I am with you. I will lead your offspring from the East, and I will gather you from the West.	5 ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡܟ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܐܝܬܐ ܙܪܥܟ ܘܡܢ ܡܥܪܒܐ ܐܟܢܫܟ
6 I will say to the North, “Release him,” and to the South, “Do not turn him away.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.	6 ܐܡܪ ܠܓܪܒܝܐ ܕܗܒܝ ܘܠܬܝܡܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܝܬܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܝ ܡܢ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
7 And each one who calls upon my name, I have created for my glory. I have formed him, and I have made him.	7 ܟܠ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܫܡܝ ܠܐܝܩܪܝ ܒܪܝ̇ܬܗ ܘܓܒ̇ܠܬܗ ܘܥܒ̇ܕܬܗ
8 Lead forth the people who are blind and have eyes, who are deaf and have ears.	8 ܐܦܩ ܥܡܐ ܥܘܝܪܐ ܕܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐ̈ܕܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܪܫܝܢ
9 All the nations have been assembled together, and the tribes have been collected. Who among you will announce this, and who will cause us to listen to the things that are first? Let them present their witnesses. Let them act justly, and listen, and say: “It is true.”	9 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܢܬܟܢܫܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܢܬܟܢ̈ܫܢ ܐܡܘ̈ܬܐ ܡܢܘ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܩܕܡ̈ܝܬܐ ܢܫܡܥ ܢܝܬܘܢ ܣܗ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܙܕܕܩܘܢ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ
10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and you are my servant, whom I have chosen, so that you may know, and may believe in me, and so that you may understand that I am the same. Before me, there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.	10 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܣ̈ܗܕܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܕܓܒ̇ܝܬ ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܘܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܝ ܘܬܣܬܟܠܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܩܕܡܝ ܠܐ ܐܬܒܪܝ ܐܠܗ ܘܒܬܪܝ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ
11 I am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me.	11 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܝ
12 I have announced, and I have saved. I have caused it to be heard. And there was no stranger among you. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.	12 ܐܢܐ ܚܘ̇ܝܬ ܘܦܪܩ̇ܬ ܘܐܫܡ̇ܥܬ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܣܗ̈ܕܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ
13 And from the beginning, I am the same. And there is no one who can rescue from my hand. I act, and who can turn it aside?	13 ܐܦ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܬܦܨܐ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܡܗܦܟ
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake, I sent to Babylon, and tore down all their bars, with the Chaldeans who glory in their ships.	14 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܦܪܘܩܟܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܛܘܠܬܟܘܢ ܫ̇ܕܪܬ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܐܝܬܝ̇ܬ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܪ̈ܘܩܐ ܘܠܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܕܒܣ̈ܦܝܢܐ ܡܫܬܒܚܝܢ
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.	15 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܟܘܢ ܕܒܪܝ̇ܬ ܠܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܡܠܟܟܘܢ
16 Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters,	16 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܫܒܝܠܐ ܒܡ̈ܝܐ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܐ
17 who led out the chariot and the horse, the column of robust troops. They went to sleep together, and they will not arise. They have been crushed like flax, and they have been extinguished.	17 ܕܡܦܩ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܘܐܟܚܕܐ ܢܫܟܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܘܢܕܥܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܓܐ ܕܡܛܦܛܦ
18 You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.	18 ܠܐ ܬܬܕܟܪܘܢ ܩܕܡ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܕܡܢ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܣܬܟܠܘܢ
19 Behold, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place.	19 ܗܐ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܬܐܥܐ ܘܬܕܥܘܢܗ̇ ܘܐܥܒܕ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܒܐܫܝܡܘܢ
20 The wild beasts of the field will glorify me, with the serpents and the ostriches. For I have brought waters to the desert, rivers to inaccessible places, in order to give drink to my people, to my elect.	20 ܬܫܒܚܢܝ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ ܝܪ̈ܘܪܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܬ ܢܥܡ̈ܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܒܐܫܝܡܘܢ ܕܢܫܬܐ ܥܡܝ ܓܒܝܐ
21 This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise.	21 ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܓܒ̇ܝܬ ܠܝ ܢܫܬܘܢ
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.	22 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܩܪܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܩ̇ܪܝܬܟ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
23 You have not offered me the ram of your holocaust, and you have not glorified me with your victims. I have not burdened you with oblations, nor have I wearied you with incense.	23 ܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܬ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܕܝܩ̈ܕܝܟ ܘܒܕܒ̈ܚܝܟ ܠܐ ܝܩܪܬܢܝ ܠܐ ܫܥܒ̇ܕܬܟ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܐܝ̇ܬܟ ܒܠܒܘܢܬܐ
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Yet truly, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities.	24 ܠܐ ܙܒܢܬ ܠܝ ܒܟܣܦܐ ܩܢܝܐ ܕܒܣܡܐ ܘܒܬܪܒܐ ܕܕܒܚ̈ܝܟ ܠܐ ܐܪܘܝܬܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܫܥܒܕܬܢܝ ܒܚ̈ܛܗܝܟ ܘܒܥܘܠܟ ܐܠܐܝܬܢܝ
25 I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.	25 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܥ̇ܛܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܘܠܟ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܘܚ̈ܛܗܝܟ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܪ
26 Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it.	26 ܐܬܕܟܪܝܢܝ ܢܬܕܝܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܕܬܙܕܕܩ
27 Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me.	27 ܐܒܘܟ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܚܛܐ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܝܟ ܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܝ
28 And so, I have defiled the holy leaders. I have handed over Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to calumny.	28 ܛܘܫܘ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܟ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܚܪܡܐ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܚܣܕܐ
