Isaiah 43

King James Version

43 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.

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.

³For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

⁴Since 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.

⁵Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

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 ends of the earth;

⁷Even 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.

⁸Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

⁹Let 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.

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 there be after me.

¹¹I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

¹²I 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.

¹³Yea, 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?

¹⁴Thus 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.

¹⁵I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

¹⁶Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

¹⁷Which 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.

¹⁸Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

¹⁹Behold, 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.

²⁰The 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.

²¹This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

²²But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

²³Thou 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.

²⁴Thou 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.

²⁵I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

²⁶Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

²⁷Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

²⁸Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Isaias 43

Ang Biblia (1978)

Ang Panginoon lamang ang makapagliligtas.

43 Nguni't ngayo'y ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon na lumalang sa iyo, Oh Jacob, at naganyo sa iyo, Oh Israel, Ikaw ay huwag matakot, ^(A)sapagka't tinubos kita; tinawag ^(B)kita sa iyong pangalan, ikaw ay akin.

²Pagka ikaw ay dumaraan ^(C)sa tubig, ^(D)ako'y sasaiyo; at sa mga ilog ay hindi ka tatakpan niyaon: pagka ikaw ay lumalakad ^(E)sa apoy, hindi ka masusunog; o magniningas man ang alab sa iyo.

³Sapagka't ako ang Panginoon mong Dios, ang Banal ng Israel, ang Tagapagligtas ^(F)sa iyo; aking ibinigay na pinakatubos sa iyo ang ^(G)Egipto, ang Etiopia at ang Seba.

⁴Yamang ikaw ay naging mahalaga sa aking paningin, at kagalanggalang, at aking inibig ka; kaya't magbibigay ako ng mga tao na pinakatubos sa iyo, at ng mga bayan na pinakatubos sa iyong buhay.

⁵Huwag kang matakot, ^(H)sapagka't ako'y sumasaiyo: aking dadalhin ang iyong lahi ^(I)mula sa silanganan, at pipisanin kita mula sa kalunuran;

⁶Aking sasabihin sa hilagaan, Bayaan mo, at sa timugan, Huwag mong pigilin; dalhin mo rito ang aking mga anak na lalake na mula sa malayo, at ang aking mga anak na babae na mula sa wakas ng lupa;

⁷Bawa't ^(J)tinatawag sa aking pangalan, at yaong aking nilikha ay ^(K)sa aking kaluwalhatian, yaong aking inanyuan oo, yaong aking ginawa.

⁸Iyong ilabas ang bulag na bayan ^(L)na may mga mata, at ang bingi may mga tainga.

⁹Mapisan ang lahat na bansa, at magpulong ang mga bayan: ^(M)sino sa gitna nila ang makapagpapahayag nito, at makapagpapakita sa amin ng mga dating bagay? dalhin nila ang kanilang mga saksi, upang sila'y mapatotohanan: o dinggin nila, at magsabi, Katotohanan nga.

¹⁰^(N)Kayo'y aking mga saksi, sabi ng Panginoon, ^(O)at aking lingkod na aking pinili: upang inyong maalaman at magsisampalataya kayo sa akin, at inyong matalastas na ako nga; ^(P)walang Dios na inanyuan na una sa akin, o magkakaroon man pagkatapos ko.

¹¹Ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ^(Q)ako, ang Panginoon; at liban sa akin ay walang tagapagligtas.

¹²Ako'y nagpahayag, at ako'y nagligtas, at ako'y nagpakilala, at walang ^(R)ibang dios sa gitna ninyo: kaya't kayo ang aking mga saksi, sabi ng Panginoon, at ako ang Dios.

¹³^(S)Oo, mula nang magkaroon ng araw ay ako nga; at walang sinomang makapagliligtas sa aking kamay: ako'y gagawa, at sinong pipigil?

Tagapagligtas mula sa Babilonia.

¹⁴Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, na inyong ^(T)Manunubos, na Banal ng Israel, Dahil sa inyo ay nagsugo ako sa Babilonia, at aking ibababa silang lahat na parang mga palaboy, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga Caldeo, sa mga sasakyang dagat ng kaniyang kagalakan.

¹⁵Ako ang Panginoon, na inyong Banal, ang Maylalang ng Israel, na inyong Hari.

¹⁶Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, na ^(U)gumagawa ng daan sa dagat, ng landas sa mga malawak na tubig;

¹⁷^(V)Na pinalabas ang karo at kabayo, ang hukbo at ang kapangyarihan (sila'y nangahihigang magkakasama, sila'y hindi na magsisibangon; sila'y nangamamatay na parang timsim):

¹⁸Huwag ninyong alalahanin ^(W)ang mga dating bagay, o bulayin man ang mga bagay ng una.

¹⁹Narito, ako'y gagawa ng bagong bagay; ngayon yao'y lalabas; hindi baga ninyo malalaman yaon? gagawa rin ako ng daan sa lupang masukal, at ^(X)mga ilog sa ilang.

²⁰Pararangalan ako ng mga hayop sa parang, ng mga chakal at ng mga avestruz: sapagka't ako'y nagbibigay ng tubig sa lupaing masukal, at ng mga ilog sa ilang, upang painumin ang aking bayan, na aking pinili,

²¹Ang bayan, na aking inanyuan para sa aking sarili, upang kanilang maihayag ang aking kapurihan.

²²Gayon ma'y hindi ka tumawag sa akin, Oh Jacob; kundi ikaw ay nayamot ^(Y)sa akin, Oh Israel.

²³Hindi mo dinala sa akin ^(Z)ang mga tupa't kambing na iyong mga pinakahandog na susunugin; o pinarangalan mo man ako ng iyong mga hain. Hindi kita pinapaglingkod ng mga handog, o niyamot man kita ng kamangyan.

²⁴Hindi mo ako ibinili ng mabangong kalamo sa halaga ng salapi, o binusog mo man ako ng taba ng iyong mga hain: kundi pinapaglingkod mo ako ng iyong mga kasalanan, iyong niyamot ^(AA)ako ng iyong mga kasamaan.

Ang pagpapatawad ng Panginoon.

²⁵Ako, ^(AB)ako nga ay siyang pumapawi ng iyong mga pagsalangsang alang-alang sa akin; at hindi ko aalalahanin ang iyong mga kasalanan.

²⁶Ipaalaala mo ako; tayo'y kapuwa magkatuwiranan: ilabas mo ang iyong usap, upang ikaw ay mapatotohanan.

²⁷Ang iyong pangunang ama ay nagkasala, at ang iyong mga tagapagpaaninaw ay nagsisalangsang laban sa akin.

²⁸Kaya't ^(AC)aking dudumhan ang mga pangulo ng santuario, at gagawin kong sumpa ang Jacob, at isang kadustaan ang Israel.

Isaiah 43

New International Version

Israel’s Only Savior

43 But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created^(A) you, Jacob,
    he who formed^(B) you, Israel:^(C)
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed^(D) you;
    I have summoned you by name;^(E) you are mine.^(F)
²When you pass through the waters,^(G)
    I will be with you;^(H)
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,^(I)
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.^(J)
³For I am the Lord your God,^(K)
    the Holy One^(L) of Israel, your Savior;^(M)
I give Egypt^(N) for your ransom,
    Cush^[a]^(O) and Seba^(P) in your stead.^(Q)
⁴Since you are precious and honored^(R) in my sight,
    and because I love^(S) you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
    nations in exchange for your life.
⁵Do not be afraid,^(T) for I am with you;^(U)
    I will bring your children^(V) from the east
    and gather^(W) you from the west.^(X)
⁶I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south,^(Y) ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters^(Z) from the ends of the earth^(AA)—
⁷everyone who is called by my name,^(AB)
    whom I created^(AC) for my glory,^(AD)
    whom I formed and made.^(AE)”

⁸Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,^(AF)
    who have ears but are deaf.^(AG)
⁹All the nations gather together^(AH)
    and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold^(AI) this
    and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
    so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
¹⁰“You are my witnesses,^(AJ)” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant^(AK) whom I have chosen,
so that you may know^(AL) and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god^(AM) was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.^(AN)
¹¹I, even I, am the Lord,^(AO)
    and apart from me there is no savior.^(AP)
¹²I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god^(AQ) among you.
You are my witnesses,^(AR)” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
¹³    Yes, and from ancient days^(AS) I am he.^(AT)
No one can deliver out of my hand.
    When I act, who can reverse it?”^(AU)

God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness

¹⁴This is what the Lord says—
    your Redeemer,^(AV) the Holy One^(AW) of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
    and bring down as fugitives^(AX) all the Babylonians,^[b]^(AY)
    in the ships in which they took pride.
¹⁵I am the Lord,^(AZ) your Holy One,
    Israel’s Creator,^(BA) your King.^(BB)”

¹⁶This is what the Lord says—
    he who made a way through the sea,
    a path through the mighty waters,^(BC)
¹⁷who drew out^(BD) the chariots and horses,^(BE)
    the army and reinforcements together,^(BF)
and they lay^(BG) there, never to rise again,
    extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:^(BH)
¹⁸“Forget the former things;^(BI)
    do not dwell on the past.
¹⁹See, I am doing a new thing!^(BJ)
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness^(BK)
    and streams in the wasteland.^(BL)
²⁰The wild animals^(BM) honor me,
    the jackals^(BN) and the owls,
because I provide water^(BO) in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
²¹    the people I formed^(BP) for myself^(BQ)
    that they may proclaim my praise.^(BR)

²²“Yet you have not called on me, Jacob,
    you have not wearied^(BS) yourselves for^[c] me, Israel.^(BT)
²³You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings,^(BU)
    nor honored^(BV) me with your sacrifices.^(BW)
I have not burdened^(BX) you with grain offerings
    nor wearied you with demands^(BY) for incense.^(BZ)
²⁴You have not bought any fragrant calamus^(CA) for me,
    or lavished on me the fat^(CB) of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins
    and wearied^(CC) me with your offenses.^(CD)

²⁵“I, even I, am he who blots out
    your transgressions,^(CE) for my own sake,^(CF)
    and remembers your sins^(CG) no more.^(CH)
²⁶Review the past for me,
    let us argue the matter together;^(CI)
    state the case^(CJ) for your innocence.
²⁷Your first father^(CK) sinned;
    those I sent to teach^(CL) you rebelled^(CM) against me.
²⁸So I disgraced the dignitaries of your temple;
    I consigned Jacob to destruction^[d]^(CN)
    and Israel to scorn.^(CO)

Isaiah 43

English Standard Version

Israel's Only Savior

43 But now thus says the Lord,
^(A)he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
^(B)“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    ^(C)I have called you by name, you are mine.
²^(D)When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
^(E)when you walk through fire ^(F)you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.
³For ^(G)I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
^(H)I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Cush and ^(I)Seba in exchange for you.
⁴Because you are precious in my eyes,
    and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
    peoples in exchange for your life.
⁵^(J)Fear not, for I am with you;
    ^(K)I will bring your offspring from the east,
    and from the west I will gather you.
⁶I will say to the north, Give up,
    and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring ^(L)my sons from afar
    and ^(M)my daughters from the end of the earth,
⁷everyone who is called by my name,
    whom I created for my glory,
    whom I formed and made.”

⁸Bring out ^(N)the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
    who are deaf, yet have ears!
⁹^(O)All the nations gather together,
    and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
    and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
    and let them hear and say, It is true.
¹⁰^(P)“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and ^(Q)my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
^(R)Before me no god was formed,
    nor shall there be any after me.
¹¹^(S)I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.
¹²I declared and saved and proclaimed,
    when there was no strange god among you;
    and ^(T)you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
¹³Also ^(U)henceforth I am he;
    there is none who can deliver from my hand;
    I work, and who can turn it back?”

¹⁴Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
^(V)“For your sake I send to Babylon
    and ^(W)bring them all down as fugitives,
    ^(X)even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
¹⁵I am the Lord, your Holy One,
    the Creator of Israel, your King.”

¹⁶Thus says the Lord,
    ^(Y)who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
¹⁷who ^(Z)brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    ^(AA)they are extinguished, ^(AB)quenched like a wick:
¹⁸^(AC)“Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
¹⁹^(AD)Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
^(AE)I will make a way in the wilderness
    ^(AF)and rivers in the desert.
²⁰The wild beasts will honor me,
    ^(AG)the jackals and the ostriches,
^(AH)for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
²¹    the people whom I formed for myself
^(AI)that they might declare my praise.

²²“Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
    but ^(AJ)you have been weary of me, O Israel!
²³^(AK)You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
    or honored me with your sacrifices.
I have not burdened you with offerings,
    ^(AL)or wearied you with frankincense.
²⁴You have not bought me sweet cane with money,
    or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
But you have burdened me with your sins;
    you have wearied me with your iniquities.

²⁵“I, I am he
    ^(AM)who blots out ^(AN)your transgressions for my own sake,
    and I will not remember your sins.
²⁶Put me in remembrance; ^(AO)let us argue together;
    set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
²⁷^(AP)Your first father sinned,
    and ^(AQ)your mediators transgressed against me.
²⁸Therefore ^(AR)I will profane the princes of the sanctuary,
    and ^(AS)deliver Jacob to utter destruction
    and Israel to reviling.
