1 والآن هكذا يقول الرب خالقك يا يعقوب وجابلك يا اسرائيل . لا تخف لاني فديتك. دعوتك باسمك. انت لي.2 اذا اجتزت في المياه فانا معك وفي الانهار فلا تغمرك. اذا مشيت في النار فلا تلدع واللهيب لا يحرقك.3 لاني انا الرب الهك قدوس اسرائيل مخلّصك. جعلت مصر فديتك كوش وسبا عوضك.4 اذ صرت عزيزا في عينيّ مكرما وانا قد احببتك اعطي اناسا عوضك وشعوبا عوض نفسك.5 لا تخف فاني معك. من المشرق آتي بنسلك ومن المغرب اجمعك.6 اقول للشمال اعط وللجنوب لا تمنع. أيت ببني من بعيد وببناتي من اقصى الارض.7 بكل من دعي باسمي ولمجدي خلقته وجبلته وصنعته.8 اخرج الشعب الاعمى وله عيون والاصم وله آذان9 اجتمعوا يا كل الامم معا ولتلتئم القبائل. من منهم يخبر بهذا ويعلمنا بالاوليات. ليقدموا شهودهم ويتبرروا. او ليسمعوا فيقولوا صدق.10 انتم شهودي يقول الرب وعبدي الذي اخترته لكي تعرفوا وتؤمنوا بي وتفهموا اني انا هو. قبلي لم يصور اله وبعدي لا يكون.11 انا انا الرب وليس غيري مخلص.12 انا اخبرت وخلّصت واعلمت وليس بينكم غريب. وانتم شهودي يقول الرب وانا الله.13 ايضا من اليوم انا هو ولا منقذ من يدي. افعل ومن يرد14 هكذا يقول الرب فاديكم قدوس اسرائيل. لاجلكم ارسلت الى بابل والقيت المغاليق كلها والكلدانيين في سفن ترنمهم.15 انا الرب قدوسكم خالق اسرائيل ملككم.16 هكذا يقول الرب الجاعل في البحر طريقا وفي المياه القوية مسلكا17 المخرج المركبة والفرس الجيش والعزّ. يضطجعون معا ولا يقومون. قد خمدوا. كفتيلة انطفأوا18 لا تذكروا الاوليات. والقديمات لا تتأملوا بها.19 هانذا صانع أمرا جديدا. الآن ينبت. ألا تعرفونه. اجعل في البرية طريقا في القفر انهارا.20 يمجدني حيوان الصحراء الذئاب وبنات النعام لاني جعلت في البرية ماء انهارا في القفر لاسقي شعبي مختاري.21 هذا الشعب جبلته لنفسي. يحدث بتسبيحي22 وانت لم تدعني يا يعقوب حتى تتعب من اجلي يا اسرائيل.23 لم تحضر لي شاة محرقتك وبذبائحك لم تكرمني. لم استخدمك بتقدمة ولا اتعبتك بلبان.24 لم تشتر لي بفضة قصبا وبشحم ذبائحك لم تروني. لكن استخدمتني بخطاياك واتعبتني بآثامك.25 انا انا هو الماحي ذنوبك لاجل نفسي وخطاياك لا اذكرها26 ذكّرني فنتحاكم معا. حدّث لكي تتبرر.27 ابوك الاول اخطأ ووسطاؤك عصوا عليّ.28 فدنست رؤساء القدس ودفعت يعقوب الى اللعن واسرائيل الى الشتائم
1 But now thus said the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, 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 shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle on you.3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.4 Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life.5 Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you 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; yes, 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 show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.10 You are my witnesses, said the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you 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 savior.12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, said the LORD, that I am God.13 Yes, 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 said 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 said the LORD, which makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;17 Which brings 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 wick.18 Remember you not the former things, neither consider the things of old.19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.20 The beast of the field shall honor 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 show forth my praise.22 But you have not called on me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.23 You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.25 I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you may be justified.27 Your first father has sinned, and your 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.
