But now Yahweh 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.
When 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.
Since 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.
因我看你為寶為尊; 又因我愛你, 所以我使人代替你, 使列邦人替換你的生命。
43:5
ኢትፍራህ፡ እንከ፡ እስመ፡ አነ፡ ሀለውኩ፡ ምስሌከ።
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
不要害怕,因我與你同在; 我必領你的後裔從東方來, 又從西方招聚你。
43:6
ወእብሎ፡ ለሰሜን፤ አምጽኦሙ።
I 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—
Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
你要將有眼而瞎、 有耳而聾的民都帶出來!
43:9
ወተጋብኡ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ አሕዛብ፡ ኅቡረ፡ ወተጋብኡ፡ መላእክቲሆሙኒ።
Let 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.”
“You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “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.
Yahweh, 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.
Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
耶和華在滄海中開道, 在大水中開路,
43:17
ዘያወፅእ፡ ሠረገላ፡ ወአፍራሰ፡ ወሠራዊተ፡ ጽኑዓነ።
who 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:
使車輛、馬匹、軍兵、勇士都出來, 一同躺下,不再起來; 他們滅沒,好像熄滅的燈火。
43:18
ኢትዜከሩ፡ ዘትካት፡ ወዘቀዲሙ፡ ኢትሔልዩ።
“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
The 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,
You 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.
You 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.
