Isaiah 43

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
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 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.
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 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 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 Quia ego Dominus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, salvator tuus, dedi propitiationem tuam Ægyptum, Æthopiam, et Saba, pro te.
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 Ex quo honorabilis factus es in oculis meis, et gloriosus, ego dilexi te, et dabo homines pro te, et populos pro anima tua.
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 Noli timere, quia ego tecum sum ; ab oriente adducam semen tuum, et ab occidente congregabo te.
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 Dicam aquiloni : Da ; et austro : Noli prohibere : affer filios meos de longinquo, et filias meas ab extremis terræ.
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 Et omnem qui invocat nomen meum, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum, et feci eum.
8 Lead forth the people who are blind and have eyes, who are deaf and have ears.	8 Educ foras populum cæcum, et oculos habentem ; surdum, et aures ei sunt.
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 Omnes 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.
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 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 am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me.	11 Ego sum, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.
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 Ego annuntiavi, et salvavi ; auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus : vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus.
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 Et ab initio ego ipse, et non est qui de manu mea eruat. Operabor, et quis avertet illud ?
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 Hæc dicit Dominus, redemptor vester, Sanctus Israël : Propter vos misi in Babylonem, et detraxi vectes universos, et Chaldæos in navibus suis gloriantes.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.	15 Ego Dominus, Sanctus vester, creans Israël, rex vester.
16 Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters,	16 Hæc dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam, et in aquis torrentibus semitam ;
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 qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum : simul obdormierunt, nec resurgent ; contriti sunt quasi linum, et extincti sunt.
18 You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.	18 Ne memineritis priorum, et antiqua ne intueamini.
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 Ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur, utique cognoscetis ea : ponam in deserto viam, et in invio flumina.
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 Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones, et struthiones : quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.
21 This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise.	21 Populum istum formavi mihi : laudem meam narrabit.
22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel.	22 Non me invocasti, Jacob, nec laborasti in me, Israël.
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 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 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 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 am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins.	25 Ego sum, ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me, et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.
26 Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it.	26 Reduc me in memoriam, et judicemur simul : narra si quid habes ut justificeris.
27 Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me.	27 Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui prævaricati sunt in me :
28 And so, I have defiled the holy leaders. I have handed over Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to calumny.	28 et contaminavi principes sanctos ; dedi ad internecionem Jacob, et Israël in blasphemiam.
