43 Koma tsopano, Yehova
amene anakulenga, iwe Yakobo,
amene anakuwumba, iwe Israeli akuti,
“Usaope, pakuti ndakuwombola;
Ndinakuyitanitsa mokutchula dzina lako, ndiwe wanga.
2 Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja,
ndidzakhala nawe;
ndipo pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje,
sidzakukokolola.
Pamene ukudutsa pa moto,

lawi la moto silidzakutentha.
3 Chifukwa Ine Yehova, Mulungu wako,
Woyera wa Israeli, ndine Mpulumutsi wako.
Ndinapereka Igupto pofuna kuti ndiwombole iwe,
ndinapereka Kusi ndi Seba mʼmalo mwa iwe.
4 Popeza kuti ndiwe wamtengowapatali wolemekezeka ndi wapamtima panga,
ndipo chifukwa ndimakukonda,
ndidzapereka anthu mʼmalo mwa iwe,
ndidzapereka mitundu ya anthu pofuna kuwombola moyo wako.
5 Usachite mantha, pakuti Ine ndili nawe;
ndidzabweretsa ana ako kuchokera kummawa,
ndipo ndidzakusonkhanitsani kuchokera kumadzulo.
6 Ndidzawuza a kumpoto kuti, ‘Amasuleni,’
ndidzawuza akummwera kuti, ‘Musawagwire.’
Bweretsani ana anga aamuna kuchokera ku mayiko akutali,
ana anga a akazi kuchokera kumalekezero a dziko lapansi;
7 onsewo amadziwika ndi dzina langa;
ndinawalenga chifukwa cha ulemerero wanga,
ndinawawumba, inde ndinawapanga.”
8 Tulutsa anthu amene ali nawo maso koma sakupenya,
anthu amene ali nawo makutu koma sakumva.
9 Mitundu yonse ya anthu isonkhane pamodzi,
anthu a mitundu ina akhale pamodzi pabwalo la milandu.
Ndani wa iwo amene ananeneratu zimenezi?
Ndani wa iwo anatifotokozerapo zinthu zakalekale?
Abweretu ndi mboni zawo kuti adzatsimikizire kuti ananena zoona,
kuti anthu ena amve ndi kunena kuti, “Ndi zoona.”
10 Yehova akunena kuti, “Inu Aisraeli ndinu mboni zanga,
ndi mtumiki wanga amene ndinakusankha,
kuti mundidziwe ndi kundikhulupirira, ndipo mudzamvetsa kuti Mulungu ndine ndekha.
Patsogolo panga sipanapangidwepo mulungu wina,
ngakhale pambuyo panga
sipadzakhalaponso wina.”
11 Akutero Yehova, “Ine, Inetu ndine Yehova,
ndipo palibe Mpulumutsi wina koma Ine ndekha.
12 Ndine amene ndinaneneratu, amene ndinakupulumutsa;
ndine, osati mulungu wina wachilendo pakati panu amene ndinalengezeratu.
Inu ndinu mboni zanga, kuti Ine ndine Mulungu,” akutero Yehova.
13 “Ine ndine Mulungu kuyambira nthawi yamakedzana, ndipo ndidzakhalabe Mulungu ku nthawi zonse.
Palibe amene angathe kuthawa mʼmanja mwanga,
ndipo chimene ndachita palibe angathe kuchisintha.”
Chifundo cha Mulungu ndi Kusakhulupirika kwa Israeli
14 Yehova akuti,
Mpulumutsi wanu, Woyerayo wa Israeli akuti,
“Chifukwa cha inu ndidzatuma gulu lankhondo kukalimbana ndi Babuloni
ndi kukupulumutsani.
Ndidzagwetsa zitseko zonse za mzindawo, ndipo kukondwa kwa anthu ake kudzasanduka kulira.
15 Ine ndine Yehova, Woyera wanu uja,
Mlengi wa Israeli. Ine ndine Mfumu yanu.”
16 Yehova
anapanga njira pa nyanja,
anapanga njira pakati pa madzi amphamvu.
17 Iye anasonkhanitsa magaleta, akavalo,
gulu lankhondo ndi asilikali amphamvu,
ndipo onse anagwa pamenepo, osadzukanso
anazimitsidwa kutheratu ngati chingwe cha nyale. Yehova ameneyu akuti,
18 “Iwalani zinthu zakale;
ndipo musaganizirenso zinthu zimene zinachitika kale.
19 Taonani, Ine ndikuchita zinthu zatsopano!
Tsopano zayamba kale kuoneka; kodi simukuziona?
Ine ndikulambula msewu mʼchipululu
ndi kupanga mitsinje mʼdziko lowuma.
20 Nyama zakuthengo, nkhandwe ndi akadzidzi
zinandilemekeza.
Ndidzayendetsa mitsinje mʼdziko lowuma
kuti ndiwapatse madzi anthu anga
osankhidwa.
21 Anthu amene ndinadziwumbira ndekha
kuti aziyimba nyimbo yotamanda Ine.
22 “Komatu simunapemphera kwa Ine, Inu a mʼbanja la Yakobo,
munatopa nane, Inu Aisraeli.
23 Simunabweretse kwa Ine nkhosa za nsembe zopsereza,
kapena kundilemekeza ndi nsembe zanu.
Ine sindinakulemetseni pomakupemphani zopereka za chakudya
kapena kukutopetsani pomakupemphani nsembe zofukiza.
24 Simunandigulire bango lonunkhira
kapena kundipatsa Ine mafuta okwanira a nsembe zanu.
Koma inu mwandilemetsa Ine ndi machimo anu
ndipo mwanditopetsa Ine ndi zolakwa zanu.
25 “Ine, Inetu, ndi amene ndimafafaniza
zolakwa zanu, chifukwa cha Ine mwini,
ndipo sindidzakumbukiranso machimo anu.
26 Mundikumbutse zakale,
ndipo titsutsane nkhaniyi pamodzi;
fotokozani mlandu wanu kuti muonetse kuti ndinu osalakwa.
27 Kholo lanu loyamba linachimwa;
ndipo Atsogoleri anu achipembedzo anandiwukira.
28 Chifukwa chake Ine ndidzanyazitsa akuluakulu a Nyumba yanu ya mapemphero,
ndipo ndidzapereka Yakobo kuti awonongedwe
ndi Israeli kuti achitidwe chipongwe.”

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)
2 When 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)
3 For 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)
4 Since 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.
5 Do 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)
6 I 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)—
7 everyone who is called by my name,(AB)
whom I created(AC) for my glory,(AD)
whom I formed and made.(AE)”
8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,(AF)
who have ears but are deaf.(AG)
9 All 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)
11 I, even I, am the Lord,(AO)
and apart from me there is no savior.(AP)
12 I 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
14 This 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.
15 I am the Lord,(AZ) your Holy One,
Israel’s Creator,(BA) your King.(BB)”
16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,(BC)
17 who 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.
19 See, 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)
20 The 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)
23 You 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)
24 You 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)
26 Review the past for me,
let us argue the matter together;(CI)
state the case(CJ) for your innocence.
27 Your first father(CK) sinned;
those I sent to teach(CL) you rebelled(CM) against me.
28 So I disgraced the dignitaries of your temple;
I consigned Jacob to destruction[d](CN)
and Israel to scorn.(CO)

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.
