Isaia 43

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et nunc haec dicit Dominus, qui creavit te, Iacob, et formavit te, Israel: “ Noli timere, quia redemi te et vocavi te nomine tuo; meus es tu.	1 And now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name: thou art mine.
2 Cum transieris per aquas, tecum ero, et flumina non operient te; cum ambulaveris in igne, non combureris, et flamma non ardebit in te,	2 When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee:
3 quia ego Dominus Deus tuus, Sanctus Israel, salvator tuus: dedi propitiationem tuam Aegyptum, Aethiopiam et Saba pro te.	3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
4 Quoniam pretiosus factus es in oculis meis et gloriosus, ego diligo te et dabo homines pro te et populos pro anima tua.	4 Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious: I have loved thee, and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Noli timere, quoniam ego tecum sum: ab oriente adducam semen tuum et ab occidente congregabo te.	5 Fear not, for I am with thee: I will. bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6 Dicam aquiloni: “Da” et austro: “Noli prohibere; affer filios meos de longinquo et filias meas ab extremis terrae.	6 I will say to the north: Give up: and to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 Omnem, qui vocatur nomine meo, in gloriam meam creavi eum, formavi eum et feci eum”.	7 And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him.
8 Educ foras populum caecum, et oculos habentem, surdos, et aures eis sunt.	8 Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
9 Omnes gentes congregentur simul, et colligantur nationes: quis in eis annuntiabit istud et priora audire nos faciet? Dent testes suos et iustificentur et audiant et dicant: “Vere”.	9 All the nations are assembled together, and the tribes are gathered: who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
10 Vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et servus meus, quem elegi, ut sciatis et credatis mihi et intellegatis quia ego ipse sum; ante me non est formatus Deus et post me non erit.	10 You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.
11 Ego, ego sum Dominus, et non est absque me salvator.	11 I am, I am the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
12 Ego, annuntiavi et salvavi; auditum feci, et non fuit in vobis alienus; et vos testes mei, dicit Dominus, et ego Deus,	12 I have declared, and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
13 iam ab initio ego ipse. Et non est qui de manu mea eruat; operabor, et quis avertet illud? ”.	13 And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14 Haecdicit Dominus, redemptor vester, Sanctus Israel: “ Propter vos misi in Babylonem et detraxi fugitivos universos et Chaldaeos in navibus suis gloriantes.	14 Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15 Ego Dominus, Sanctus vester, creans Israel, rex vester ”.	15 I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Haec dicit Dominus, qui dedit in mari viam et in aquis torrentibus semitam;	16 Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
17 qui eduxit quadrigam et equum, agmen et robustum; simul iacuerunt nec resurgent, contriti sunt quasi linum et exstincti sunt.	17 Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.
18 “ Ne memineritis priorum et antiqua ne intueamini:	18 Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19 ecce ego facio nova, et nunc orientur: nonne cognoscitis ea? Utique ponam in deserto viam et in invio flumina.	19 Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 Glorificabit me bestia agri, dracones et struthiones, quia dedi in deserto aquas, flumina in invio, ut darem potum populo meo, electo meo.	20 The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
21 Populum istum formavi mihi; laudem meam narrabunt.	21 This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
22 Non me invocasti, Iacob; immo taedio mei affectus es, Israel.	22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23 Non obtulisti mihi agnos holocausti tui et victimis tuis non glorificasti me; non te gravavi in oblatione nec laborem tibi praebui in ture.	23 Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims: I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Non emisti mihi argento calamum et adipe victimarum tuarum non inebriasti me; verumtamen servire me fecisti in peccatis tuis, praebuisti mihi laborem in iniquitatibus tuis.	24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
25 Ego, ego sum ipse, qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor.	25 I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 Memorem me redde, iudicium agamus simul: narra, ut iustificeris.	26 Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
27 Pater tuus primus peccavit, et interpretes tui praevaricati sunt in me;	27 Thy brat father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 et contaminavi principes sanctuarii, dedi ad internecionem Iacob et Israel in opprobrium ”.	28 And I have profaned the holy princes, I have given Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to reproach.
