1 But 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. 2 When 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. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 ¶ Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10 Ye 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 there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 ¶ Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22 ¶ But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. 25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
1 et nunc haec dicit Dominus creans te Iacob et formans te Israhel
noli timere quia redemi te
et vocavi nomine tuo meus es tu
2 cum transieris per aquas tecum ero et flumina non operient te
cum ambulaveris in igne non conbureris
et flamma non ardebit in te
3 quia ego Dominus Deus tuus Sanctus Israhel salvator tuus
dedi propitiationem tuam Aegyptum
Aethiopiam et Saba pro te
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 noli timere quoniam tecum ego sum
ab oriente adducam semen tuum et ab occidente congregabo te
6 dicam aquiloni da et austro noli prohibere
adfer filios meos de longinquo et filias meas ab extremis terrae
7 et omnem qui invocat nomen meum
in gloriam meam creavi eum
et formavi eum et feci eum
8 educ foras populum caecum et oculos habentem
surdum et aures ei sunt
9 omnes gentes congregatae sunt simul et collectae sunt tribus
quis in vobis adnuntiet istud
et quae prima sunt audire nos faciat
dent testes eorum et iustificentur et audiant et dicant vere
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
11 ego sum ego sum Dominus et non est absque me salvator
12 ego adnuntiavi et salvavi auditum feci et non fuit in vobis alienus
vos testes mei dicit Dominus et ego Deus
13 et ab initio ego ipse et non est qui de manu mea eruat
operabor et quis avertet illud
14 haec dicit Dominus redemptor vester Sanctus Israhel
propter vos emisi Babylonem et detraxi vectes universos
et Chaldeos in navibus suis gloriantes
15 ego Dominus Sanctus vester creans Israhel Rex vester
16 haec dicit Dominus
qui dedit in mari viam et in aquis torrentibus semitam
17 qui eduxit quadrigam et equum agmen et robustum
simul obdormierunt nec resurgent
contriti sunt quasi linum et extincti sunt
18 ne memineritis priorum et antiqua ne intueamini
19 ecce ego facio nova et nunc orientur utique cognoscetis ea
ponam in deserto viam et in invio flumina
20 glorificabit me bestia agri dracones et strutiones
quia dedi in deserto aquas flumina in invio
ut darem potum populo meo electo meo
21 populum istum formavi mihi laudem meam narrabit
22 non me invocasti Iacob nec laborasti in me Israhel
23 non obtulisti mihi arietem holocausti tui
et victimis tuis non glorificasti me
non te servire feci in oblatione
nec laborem tibi praebui in ture
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
25 ego sum ego sum ipse qui deleo iniquitates tuas propter me
et peccatorum tuorum non recordabor
26 reduc me in memoriam et iudicemur simul
narra si quid habes ut iustificeris
27 pater tuus primus peccavit
et interpretes tui praevaricati sunt in me
28 et contaminavi principes sanctos
dedi ad internicionem Iacob et Israhel in blasphemiam
