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.
Isaiah 43
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
43 But now [in spite of past judgments for Israel’s sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.
3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt [to the Babylonians] for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba [a province of Ethiopia] in exchange [for your release].
4 Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east [where they are dispersed] and gather you from the west.(A)
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 Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made.
8 Bring forth the blind people who have eyes and the deaf who have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together and let the peoples be assembled. Who among [the idolaters] could predict this [that Cyrus would be the deliverer of Israel] and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear and acknowledge, It is the truth.(B)
10 You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know Me, believe Me and remain steadfast to 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 besides Me there is no Savior.
12 I have declared [the future] and have saved [the nation in times of danger], and I have shown [that I am God]—when there was no strange and alien god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God.
13 Yes, from the time of the first existence of day and from this day forth I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand. I will work, and who can hinder or reverse it?
14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent [one] to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, [with] all their nobles, even the Chaldeans, into the ships over which they rejoiced.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters,
17 Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. They lie down together, they cannot rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a lampwick:
18 Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
20 The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen,(C)
21 The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth My praise [and they shall do it].
22 Yet you have not called upon Me [much less toiled for Me], O Jacob; but you have been weary of Me, O Israel!
23 You have not brought Me your sheep and goats for burnt offerings, or honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not required you to serve with an offering or treated you as a slave by demanding tribute or wearied you with offering incense.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, or satiated Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have only burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am He Who blots out and cancels your transgressions, for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
26 Put Me in remembrance [remind Me of your merits]; let us plead and argue together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified (proved right).
27 Your first father [Jacob, in particular] sinned, and your teachers [the priests and the prophets—your mediators] transgressed against Me.
28 And so I will profane the chief ones of the sanctuary and will deliver Jacob to the curse (the ban, a solemn anathema or excommunication) and [will subject] Israel to reproaches and reviling.
Isaías 43
Nova Versão Transformadora
O Salvador de Israel
43 Mas agora, ó Jacó, ouça o Senhor que o criou;
ó Israel, assim diz aquele que o formou:
“Não tema, pois eu o resgatei;
eu o chamei pelo nome, você é meu.
2 Quando passar por águas profundas,
estarei a seu lado.
Quando atravessar rios,
não se afogará.
Quando passar pelo fogo,
não se queimará;
as chamas não lhe farão mal.
3 Pois eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus,
o Santo de Israel, seu Salvador.
Dei o Egito como resgate por sua liberdade;
em troca de você, dei a Etiópia[a] e Sebá.
4 Outros foram entregues em seu lugar,
troquei a vida deles pela sua.
Pois você é precioso para mim,
é honrado e eu o amo.
5 “Não tema, pois estou com você;
reunirei você e seus descendentes desde o leste e o oeste.
6 Direi ao norte e ao sul:
‘Tragam de volta meus filhos e filhas,
desde os confins da terra.
7 Tragam todos que me reconhecem como seu Deus,
pois eu os criei para minha glória;
fui eu quem os formou’”.
8 Tragam o povo que tem olhos, mas é cego,
que tem ouvidos, mas é surdo.
9 Reúnam as nações!
Juntem os povos do mundo!
Qual de seus ídolos predisse coisas semelhantes a estas?
Qual deles pode prever o que acontecerá amanhã?
Onde estão as testemunhas dessas previsões?
Quem pode comprovar que disseram a verdade?
10 “Você é minha testemunha, ó Israel!”, diz o Senhor.
“Você é meu servo.
Foi escolhido para me conhecer, para crer em mim,
para entender que somente eu sou Deus.
Não há outro Deus,
nunca houve e nunca haverá.
11 Eu, somente eu, sou o Senhor,
e não há outro Salvador.
12 Primeiro, previ sua salvação,
então o salvei e proclamei isso ao mundo.
Nenhum deus estrangeiro jamais fez algo assim;
você, Israel, é testemunha de que sou o único Deus”,
diz o Senhor.
13 “Desde a eternidade, eu sou Deus;
não há quem possa livrar alguém de minha mão,
não há quem possa desfazer o que eu fiz.”
O Senhor promete vitória
14 Assim diz o Senhor, seu Redentor, o Santo de Israel:
“Por sua causa, enviarei um exército contra a Babilônia;
obrigarei os babilônios[b] a fugir
nos navios de que tanto se orgulham.
15 Eu sou o Senhor, seu Santo,
Criador e Rei de Israel.
16 Eu sou o Senhor, que abriu uma passagem no meio das águas,
um caminho seco pelo mar.
17 Chamei o exército poderoso do Egito,
com seus carros e cavalos.
Eu os submergi nas ondas, e eles se afogaram;
sua vida se apagou como um pavio fumegante.
18 “Esqueçam tudo isso,
não é nada comparado ao que vou fazer.
19 Pois estou prestes a realizar algo novo.
Vejam, já comecei! Não percebem?
Abrirei um caminho no meio do deserto,
farei rios na terra seca.
20 Os animais selvagens nos campos me glorificarão,
e também os chacais e as corujas,
por lhes dar água no deserto.
Sim, farei rios na terra seca,
para que meu povo escolhido se refresque.
21 Formei este povo para mim mesmo;
um dia, ele me honrará perante o mundo.
22 “Mas você, ó Jacó, não clama por mim;
você se cansou de mim, ó Israel!
23 Não me trouxe ovelhas nem bodes para holocaustos,
não me honrou com sacrifícios,
embora eu não o tenha sobrecarregado nem cansado
com exigências de ofertas de cereal e incenso.
24 Você não me trouxe cálamo perfumado,
nem me agradou com a gordura de sacrifícios.
Em vez disso, me sobrecarregou com seus pecados
e me cansou com suas maldades.
25 “Eu, somente eu, por minha própria causa, apagarei seus pecados
e nunca mais voltarei a pensar neles.
26 Relembremos juntos a situação,
apresente sua defesa para provar inocência.
27 Desde o princípio, seu primeiro antepassado pecou,
e seus líderes se rebelaram contra mim.
28 Por isso, humilhei seus sacerdotes;
decretei destruição total para Jacó,
vergonha para Israel.”
