Isaiah

1đã gọi ngươi bằng chính tên ngươi : ngươi là của riêng Ta !

2ngọn lửa không thiêu rụi ngươi đâu.

3nộp Cút và Xơ-va để đổi lấy ngươi.

4nộp bao dân nước thế mạng ngươi.

5và từ phương tây, Ta sẽ cho con cháu ngươi đoàn tụ.

6và con gái Ta từ góc biển chân trời.

7nắn thành hình và làm nên, cho danh Ta rạng ngời vinh hiển.

8Hãy để cho dân này ra đi, dân có mắt mà mù, có tai mà điếc !

9để mọi người được nghe và nói rằng : Đúng thế !

10và sau Ta cũng vậy.

11ngoài Ta ra, chẳng có ai cứu độ.

12và chính Ta là Thiên Chúa,

13Ta đã làm, ai dám làm ngược lại ?

14làm cho tiếng reo hò của dân Can-đê trở thành lời ai oán.

15Đấng làm vua cai trị các ngươi.

16một lối đi giữa sóng nước oai hùng,

17đã bị dập đi, tắt ngấm như tim đèn.

18chớ quan tâm về những việc thuở trước.

19khơi những dòng sông tại vùng đất khô cằn.

20cho dân Ta tuyển chọn được giải khát.

21chúng sẽ lên tiếng ngợi khen Ta.

22phải, hỡi Ít-ra-en, ngươi đã chán Ta rồi.

23vì chuyện hương với khói.

24làm cho Ta chán chường vì tội ác ngươi phạm.

25và không còn nhớ đến lỗi lầm của ngươi nữa.

26có gì, ngươi cứ kể ra đi mà bào chữa cho mình.

27và những người lãnh đạo ngươi đã phản nghịch cùng Ta.

28và bỏ mặc Ít-ra-en cho người đời thoá mạ.

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.

8¶ Bring 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?

14¶ Thus 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.

18¶ Remember 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.

22¶ But 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.
