Isaiah Chapter 43 - | Early Church Bible

1: And [G2532] now [G3568], thus [G3779] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316], the [G3588] [one] making [G4160] you [G1473], O Jacob, and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] shaping [G4111] you [G1473], O Israel, Do not [G3361] fear [G5399]! for [G3754] I ransomed [G3084] you [G1473], I called [G2564] you [G1473] the [G3588] by your name [G3686][G1473], mine [G1699] are you [G1473].
2: And [G2532] if [G1437] you should pass over [G1224] through [G1223] water [G5204], with [G3326] you [G1473] I am ; and [G2532] rivers [G4215] will not [G3756] engulf you [G1473]. And [G2532] if [G1437] you go [G1330] through [G1223] fire [G4442], in no way should you be incinerated [G2618]; a flame [G5395] will not [G3756] incinerate [G2618] you [G1473].
3: For [G3754] I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473], the [G3588] holy one of Israel, the [G3588] [one] delivering [G4982] you [G1473]. I made [G4160] a barter for you [G1473] -- Egypt, and [G2532] Ethiopia, and [G2532] Seba for [G5228] you [G1473].
4: From which [time] [G3739] valuable [G1784] you were esteemed [G1096] before [G1726] me [G1473], you were glorified [G1392], and [G2532] I [G1473] loved you [G1473]. And [G2532] I will give [G1325] men for [G5228] you [G1473], and [G2532] rulers for [G5228] the [G3588] your head [G2776][G1473].
5: Do not [G3361] fear [G5399], for [G3754] with [G3326] you [G1473] I am ! From east I will convey ' the [G3588] your seed [G4690][G1473], and [G2532] from west [G1424] I will bring you together [G4863][G1473].
6: I will say [G2046] to the [G3588] north [G1005], convey '! and [G2532] to the [G3588] south [G3047], Do not [G3361] restrain [G2967]! convey ' the [G3588] my sons [G5207][G1473] from a land '[G1093] at a distance [G4207], and [G2532] the [G3588] my daughters [G2364][G1473] from uttermost parts of the [G3588] land '[G1093],
7: [even] all [G3956], as many as [G3745] have been called upon [G1941] [to the [G3588] name [G3686] of me [G1473]. For in [G1722][G1063] the [G3588] my glory [G1391][G1473] I carefully prepared [G2680] him [G1473], and [G2532] I shaped [G4111] him [G1473], and [G2532] I made [G4160] him [G1473].
8: And [G2532] I brought out [G1806] people [G2992] a blind [G5185], and [G2532] eyes [G3788] are likewise [G5615] blind [G5185]; and [G2532] deaf ones [G2974] the [G3588] ears [G3775] having [G2192].
9: All [G3956] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484] were brought [G4863] together , and [G2532] will be brought together [G4863] rulers from [G1537] them [G1473]. Who [G5100] will announce these [things] [G3778]? Or [G2228] the [things] [G3588] from [G1537] beginning , who [G5100] will announce ? Let them convey ' the [G3588]ir witnesses [G3144][G1473], and [G2532] let them be justified [G1344], and [G2532] let them hear , and [G2532] let them speak [G2036] truth !
10: Be [G1096] witnesses to me [G1473][G3144]! and [G2532] I [G1473] witness [G3144], says [G3004] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316], and [G2532] the [G3588] my servant [G3816][G1473] whom [G3739] I chose [G1586]. That [G2443] you should know [G1097], and [G2532] should trust '[G4100], and [G2532] should perceive [G4920] that [G3754] I [G1473] am . Before [G1715] me [G1473] did not [G3756] exist [G1096] another God '[G2316], and [G2532] after [G3326] me [G1473] it will not [G3756] be .
11: I [am [G1473] God '[G2316], and [G2532] there is no [G3756] besides me [G1473] one delivering [G4982].
12: I [G1473] announced it , and [G2532] I delivered [G4982]. I berated [G3679], and [G2532] there was not [G3756] among [G1722] you [G1473] an alien [god . You [are [G1473] to me [G1473] witnesses [G3144], and [G2532] I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316],
13: even [G2089] from beginning ; and [G2532] there not [G3756] is one the [G3588] from [G1537] the [G3588] my hands [G5495][G1473] taking [G1807]. I will do [G4160], and [G2532] who [G5100] will turn it [G1473]?
14: Thus [G3779] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316], the [G3588] [one] ransoming [G3084] you [G1473], the [G3588] holy one of the [G3588] Israel. Because of [G1752] you [G1473] I will send unto [G1519] Babylon, and [G2532] I will rouse [G1892] ones fleeing [G5343] all [G3956], and [G2532] Chaldeans in [G1722] boats [G4143] will be tied [G1210].
15: I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316], the [G3588] your holy one [G1473], the [G3588] [one] introducing for Israel your king [G1473].
16: For [G3754] thus [G3592] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962], the [G3588] [one] making [G1325] in [G1722] sea [G2281] a way [G3598], and [G2532] in [G1722] water [G5204] strong [G2478] a path [G5147];
17: the [one] [G3588] leading [G1806] chariots and [G2532] horse [G2462], and [G2532] crowd [G3793] a mighty [G2478]; but they were gone to sleep [G2837], and [G2532] they will not [G3756] rise up ; they were extinguished [G4570] as [G5613] a flax [G3043] being extinguished [G4570].
18: Do not [G3361] remember [G3421] the [G3588] first [things] [G4413], and [G2532] the [G3588] ancient [things] do not [G3361] reckon together [G4817]!
19: look [G2400], I [G1473] do [G4160] new [things] [G2537] which [G3739] now [G3568] will arise , and [G2532] you all will know [G1097] them [G1473]. And [G2532] I will make [G4160] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] a way [G3598], and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] waterless [place] rivers [G4215].
20: will bless [G2127] me [G1473] the [G3588] wild beasts [G2342] of the [G3588] field , sirens and [G2532] daughters [G2364] of ostriches ; for [G3754] I established [G1325] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] water [G5204], and [G2532] rivers [G4215] in [G1722] the [G3588] waterless [place] , to give to drink to [G4222] the [G3588] race [G1085] my [G1473] the [G3588] chosen [G1588],
21: my people [G2992][G1473] whom [G3739] I procured [G4046]; the [G3588] [ones] my virtues [G1473] to describe [G1334].
22: Not [G3756] now [G3568] I called [G2564] you [G1473], O Jacob, nor [G3761] to tire [G2872] you [G1473] acted [G4160], O Israel.
23: You did not [G3756] bring [G5342] to me [G1473] of your sheep [G4263][G1473], of the [G3588] [one] of your whole offering [G1473]; nor [G3761] in [G1722] the [G3588] your sacrifices [G2378][G1473] you glorified [G1392] me [G1473]. You were not enslaved [G3756][G1402] in [G1722] sacrifices [G2378], nor [G3761] weary did [G4160] you [G1473] with [G1722] frankincense [G3030].
24: Nor [G3761] you acquired [G2932] for me [G1473] a sacrifice of silver , nor [G3761] the [G3588] fat of the [G3588] your sacrifices [G2378][G1473] I desired [G1937]. But in [G1722] the [G3588] sins of you [G1473] you stood in front [G4291] of me [G1473], and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] your iniquities [G1473].
25: I [G1473] am , I [G1473] am he [G1473], the [G3588] [one] wiping away [G1813] the [G3588] your lawless deeds [G1473] because of me [G1752][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] sins of you [G1473] in no way will I remember [G3403].
26: But you [G1473][G1161], remember [G3403]! And [G2532] let us plead [G2919] together ! You tell [G3004][G1473] of the [G3588] your lawless deeds [G1473] first [G4413]! that [G2443] you should be justified [G1344].
27: the [G3588] Your fathers [G3962][G1473] first [G4413] sinned , and [G2532] the [G3588] your rulers [G1473] acted lawlessly against [G1519] me [G1473].
28: And [G2532] defiled [G3392] the [G3588] rulers the [G3588] my holy [things] [G1473]; and [G2532] I gave [G1325] Jacob up to be destroyed , and [G2532] Israel for [G1519] scorning [G3680].
