Isaiah 43
Names of God Bible
43 Yahweh created Jacob and formed Israel. Now, this is what Yahweh says:
Do not be afraid, because I have reclaimed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you go through the sea, I am with you.
When you go through rivers, they will not sweep you away.
When you walk through fire, you will not be burned,
and the flames will not harm you.
3 I am Yahweh your Elohim, Qedosh Yisrael, your Savior.
Egypt is the ransom I exchanged for you.
Sudan and Seba are the price I paid for you.
4 Since you are precious to me, you are honored and I love you.
I will exchange others for you.
Nations will be the price I pay for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, because I am with you.
I will bring your descendants from the east
and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, “Give them up,”
and to the south, “Do not keep them.”
Bring my sons from far away
and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 Bring everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.
8 Bring the people who are blind but still have eyes,
the people who are deaf but still have ears.
9 All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled.
Who among them could have revealed this?
Who among them could have foretold this to us?
They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right.
Let the people hear them. Then they will say that it is true.
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh.
“I have chosen you as my servant
so that you can know and believe in me
and understand that I am the one who did this.
No god was formed before me,
and there will be none after me.
11 I alone am Yahweh,
and there is no savior except me.
12 I have revealed it to you, I have saved you,
and I have announced it to you.
There was no foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses that I am El,” declares Yahweh.
13 “From the first day I was the one who did this.
No one can rescue people from my power.
When I do something, who can undo it?”
14 This is what Yahweh, your Go’el, Qedosh Yisrael, says:
For your sake I will send an army to Babylon.
I will bring back all the Babylonian refugees
in the ships that they take pride in.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your Melek.
Despite the People of Israel’s Past Sin, the Lord Will Forgive Them
16 Yahweh makes a path through the sea
and a road through the strong currents.
17 He leads chariots and horses, an army and reinforcements.
(They lie down together and do not get up again.
They are extinguished and snuffed out like a wick.)
This is what Yahweh says:
18 Forget what happened in the past,
and do not dwell on events from long ago.
19 I am going to do something new.
It is already happening. Don’t you recognize it?
I will clear a way in the desert.
I will make rivers on dry land.
20 Wild animals, jackals, and ostriches will honor me.
I will provide water in the desert.
I will make rivers on the dry land for my chosen people to drink.
21 I have formed these people for myself.
They will praise me.
22 Jacob, you have not prayed to me.
Israel, you have grown tired of me.
23 You did not bring me sheep for your burnt offerings
or honor me with your sacrifices.
I did not burden you by requiring grain offerings
or trouble you by requiring incense offerings.
24 You did not buy me any sugar cane with your money
or satisfy me with the best part of your sacrifices.
Rather, you burdened me with your sins
and troubled me with your wrongdoings.
25 I alone am the one who is going to wipe away your rebellious actions
for my own sake.
I will not remember your sins anymore.
26 Remind me of what happened.
Let us argue our case together.
State your case so that you can prove you are right.
27 Your first ancestor sinned,
and your priests rebelled against me.
28 That is why I will corrupt the leaders of the holy place.
I will claim Jacob for destruction.
I will set up Israel for ridicule.
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.
3 For (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.
4 Because 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.
6 I 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,
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8 Bring 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.
12 I 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.
13 Also (U)henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”
14 Thus 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.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Thus says the Lord,
(Y)who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who (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.
20 The 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.
24 You 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.
26 Put 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.
28 Therefore (AR)I will profane the princes of the sanctuary,
and (AS)deliver Jacob to utter destruction
and Israel to reviling.
Isaías 43
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
O amor e o poder de Deus
43 Assim diz o SENHOR, aquele que criou você, ó Jacó,
aquele que o formou, ó Israel:
“Não tenha medo, porque eu o resgatei.
Eu dei a você seu nome, e por isso me pertence.
2 Quando você atravessar as águas,
estarei com você.
Quando você atravessar os rios,
não se afogará.
Quando você passar pelo fogo,
não se queimará,
as chamas não o alcançarão.
3 Porque eu sou o SENHOR, seu Deus,
o Santo de Israel, o seu Salvador.
Dou o Egito como resgate pela sua libertação,
entrego a Etiópia e Sebá em pagamento por você.
4 Para mim, você é muito precioso,
digno de estima e eu o amo muito.
Troco outros por você,
e nações pela sua vida.
5 Não tenha medo, pois eu estou com você.
Trarei os seus filhos desde o leste,
e desde o oeste os juntarei a você.
6 Darei esta ordem ao norte: ‘Soltem-nos!’
e ao sul: ‘Deixem eles saírem!’
Tragam os meus filhos de lá longe,
tragam as minhas filhas dos confins da terra.
7 Tragam a mim todos os que são meus,
as pessoas que têm o meu nome.
Eu fiz todos eles para minha glória.
Eu formei todos eles, e eles são meus.
8 “Que venha o povo que tem olhos, mas é cego;
que tem ouvidos, mas é surdo.
9 Que se juntem todas as nações,
e se reúnam todos os povos.
Quem entre os deuses predisse que isto iria acontecer?
Quem anunciou o que já aconteceu no passado?
Que apresentem o seu testemunho
como prova de que estavam certos
e que as pessoas digam se é verdade ou não.
10 “Vocês são as minhas testemunhas,
e o meu servo, aquele que eu escolhi,
para saberem,
acreditarem e compreenderem
que eu sou Deus.
Antes de mim não houve nenhum deus,
e depois de mim não haverá outro.
11 Eu, e só eu, sou o SENHOR,
e além de mim não há outro Salvador.
12 Fui eu quem disse a vocês, e fui eu quem os salvei.
Eu também lhes revelei essas coisas.
Fui eu, e não um deus estrangeiro entre vocês.
Vocês são as minhas testemunhas, e eu sou Deus.
13 Eu sou Deus desde sempre,
ninguém pode se livrar da minha mão;
e o que eu faço ninguém pode desfazer”.
14 O SENHOR, aquele que os liberta,
o Santo de Israel, declara:
“Por vocês enviarei um exército contra a Babilônia
e todos eles fugirão.
Os seus gritos de vitória
se transformarão em gritos de lamento.
15 Eu sou o SENHOR, o seu Santo,
aquele que criou Israel, o seu Rei”.
16 O Senhor está abrindo um caminho no meio do mar,
uma estrada no meio das águas turbulentas para o seu povo.
Assim diz o SENHOR:
17 “Todos aqueles que lutam contra mim serão destruídos,
mesmo que venham com os seus carros, cavalos e guerreiros.
Todos eles cairão
e não se levantarão mais.
Desaparecerão, serão apagados
como quando se apaga uma vela.
18 Por isso não se lembrem mais do que aconteceu antes,
nem pensem mais no passado.
19 Agora vou fazer uma coisa nova.
Já está acontecendo!
Vocês já podem vê-la!
Vou fazer um caminho no deserto
e rios na terra árida.
20 Os animais selvagens me respeitarão,
os chacais e as corujas.
Porque farei brotar água no deserto
e haverá rios nas terras áridas
para dar de beber ao meu povo escolhido.
21 Esse povo que formei para mim mesmo
contará as minhas obras gloriosas.
22 “Mas você não me chamou, ó Jacó;
pois ficou cansado de mim, ó Israel.
23 Não me trouxe cordeiros para os sacrifícios queimados,
nem me honrou com os seus sacrifícios.
Eu não o incomodei pedindo ofertas,
nem pedindo incenso.
24 Você não gastou dinheiro para comprar incenso para mim,
nem me agradou com a gordura dos seus sacrifícios.
Mas me fez suportar os seus pecados
e me cansou com as suas maldades.
25 Eu, sim, eu sou quem apaga as suas transgressões.
Eu faço isso porque sou fiel.
Eu não me lembrarei dos seus pecados.
26 Lembre-me o que tem contra mim,
apresente o seu caso no tribunal,
mostre-me que tem razão.
27 O pai da sua nação pecou
e os seus mediadores revoltaram-se contra mim.
28 Por isso envergonhei os príncipes do templo,
deixei que destruíssem Jacó
e que Israel fosse humilhado.
