Isaías 43
La Bible Crampon 1923
1Et maintenant, ainsi parle Yahweh, celui qui t'a créé, ô Jacob, celui qui t'a formé, ô Israël : Ne crains point, car je t'ai racheté ; je t'ai appelé par ton nom, tu es à moi !
2Quand tu passeras par les eaux, je serai avec toi ; par les fleuves, ils ne t'engloutiront point ; quand tu marcheras au milieu du feu, tu ne seras point brûlé et la flamme ne t'embrasera point.
3Car moi, Yahweh, je suis ton Dieu ; le Saint d'Israël est ton sauveur. J'ai donné l'Egypte pour ta rançon ; l'Ethiopie et Saba en échange de toi.
4Parce que tu es précieux à mes yeux, honorable, et que, moi, je t'aime, je donnerai des hommes en échange de toi, et des peuples en échange de ta vie.
5Ne crains point, car je suis avec toi ; de l'orient je ramènerai ta postérité, et de l'occident je te rassemblerai.
6Je dirai au septentrion : " Donne-les ! " et au midi : " Ne les retiens pas ! Ramène mes fils des pays lointains et mes filles de l'extrémité de la terre,
7tous ceux qui portent mon nom, que j'ai créés pour ma gloire, que j'ai formés et que j'ai faits.
8Fais sortir le peuple aveugle, et qui a des yeux, et les sourds, qui ont des oreilles. "
9Que les nations s'assemblent toutes, et que les peuples se réunissent ! Lequel d'entre eux a annoncé ces choses, et nous a fait entendre des prédictions anciennes ? Qu'ils produisent leurs témoins et qu'ils se justifient ; qu'on les entende et qu'on dise : " C'est vrai ! "
10Vous êtes mes témoins, — oracle de Yahweh, et mon serviteur que j'ai choisi, afin que vous reconnaissiez et que vous me croyiez, et que vous compreniez que c'est moi. Avant moi aucun Dieu n'a été formé, et il n'y en aura point après moi.
11C'est moi, moi qui suis Yahweh, et il n'y a point de sauveur en dehors de moi.
12C'est moi qui ai annoncé, qui ai sauvé, qui ai prédit ; ce n'est pas un dieu étranger parmi vous ; et vous êtes mes témoins, — oracle de Yahweh ! C'est moi qui suis Dieu ;
13désormais aussi je le suis, et il n'y a personne qui délivre de ma main ; j'agirai, et qui l'empêchera ?
14Ainsi parle Yahweh, votre rédempteur, le Saint d'Israël : A cause de vous, j'ai envoyé contre Babylone, et je les fais tous descendre en fugitifs, les Chaldéens, sur les navires dont ils sont si fiers !
15Je suis Yahweh, votre Saint, le Créateur d'Israël, votre roi !
16Ainsi parle Yahweh, qui ouvrit un chemin dans la mer, un sentier dans les eaux puissantes ;
17qui mit en campagne chars et chevaux, armée et vaillants guerriers, — tous ensemble ils sont couchés pour ne plus se relever ; ils ont été étouffés, ils se sont éteints comme une mèche : —
18Ne vous souvenez plus des événements passés, et ne considérez plus les choses d'autrefois !
19Voici que je vais faire une merveille nouvelle ; elle est près d'éclore ; ne la reconnaîtrez-vous pas ? Je mettrai un chemin dans le désert, des fleuves dans la terre aride.
20Les bêtes des champs me glorifieront, les chacals et les autruches. Car je mettrai des eaux dans le désert, et des fleuves dans la terre aride, pour abreuver mon peuple, mon élu,
21le peuple que j'ai formé pour moi, qui publiera ma louange.
22Cependant tu ne m'as pas invoqué, ô Jacob, et tu ne t'es pas mis en peine pour moi, Israël.
23Tu ne m'as pas offert les brebis de tes holocaustes, et tu ne m'as pas honoré par tes sacrifices. Je ne t'ai pas été à charge pour des offrandes, et ne t'ai pas fatigué pour de l'encens.
24Tu ne m'as point, à prix d'argent, acheté de roseau odoriférant, et tu ne m'as pas rassasié de la graisse de tes victimes ; mais toi, tu m'as été à charge par tes péchés, tu m'as fatigué par tes iniquités.
25C'est moi, c'est moi qui efface tes fautes pour l'amour de moi, et je ne me souviendrai plus de tes péchés.
26Réveille mes souvenirs, plaidons ensemble, parle toi-même pour te justifier.
27Ton premier père a péché, et tes interprètes m'ont été infidèles.
28C'est pourquoi j'ai dégradé les princes du sanctuaire, j'ai livré Jacob à l'anathème et Israël aux outrages.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y AHORA, así dice Jehová Criador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú.
2Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.
3Porque yo Jehová Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, soy tu Salvador: á Egipto he dado por tu rescate, á Etiopía y á Seba por ti.
4Porque en mis ojos fuiste de grande estima, fuiste honorable, y yo te amé: daré pues hombres por ti, y naciones por tu alma.
5No temas, porque yo soy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.
6Diré al aquilón: Da acá; y al mediodía: No detengas: trae de lejos mis hijos, y mis hijas de los términos de la tierra,
7Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.
8Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.
9Congréguense á una todas las gentes, y júntense todos los pueblos: ¿quién de ellos hay que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oir las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y justifíquense; oigan, y digan: Verdad.
10Vosotros sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, y mi siervo que yo escogí; para que me conozcáis y creáis, y entendáis que yo mismo soy; antes de mí no fué formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.
11Yo, yo Jehová; y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.
12Yo anuncié, y salvé, é hice oir, y no hubo entre vosotros extraño. Vosotros pues sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, que yo soy Dios.
13Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano libre: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?
14Así dice Jehová, Redentor vuestro, el Santo de Israel: Por vosotros envié á Babilonia, é hice descender fugitivos todos ellos, y clamor de Caldeos en las naves.
15Yo Jehová, Santo vuestro, Criador de Israel, vuestro Rey.
16Así dice Jehová, el que da camino en la mar, y senda en las aguas impetuosas;
17El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.
18No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis á memoria las cosas antiguas.
19He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva: presto saldrá á luz: ¿no la sabréis? Otra vez pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.
20La bestia del campo me honrará, los chacales, y los pollos del avestruz: porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.
21Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.
22Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.
23No me trajiste á mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni á mí me honraste con tus sacrificios: no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.
24No compraste para mí caña aromática por dinero, ni me saciaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios; antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, me has fatigado con tus maldades.
25Yo, yo soy el que borro tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.
26Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.
27Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.
28Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema á Jacob, y por oprobio á Israel.
King James Version
1But 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.
World English Bible
1But now the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
3For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
5Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
6I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’”
8Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
10“You are my witnesses,” says the LORD, “With 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 will there be after me.
11I myself am the LORD. Besides me, there is no savior.
12I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses”, says the LORD, “and I am God.
13Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
14The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16The LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
18“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
19Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.
22Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
24You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
25I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
26Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.
27Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
28Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”
