Isaiah 46
1 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
Agrukrukbab ni Bel, agdumdumog ni Nebo; aw-awiten dagiti ayup dagiti didiosenda. Dagitoy a didiosen nga aw-awitenda ket padagsen kadagiti nabannog nga ayup.
2 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
Agrukob ken agparintumengda a sangsangkamaysa; saanda a maispal dagiti imahen, ken uray isuda a mismo ket maitalaw.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
Dumngegka kaniak, balay ti Jacob, ken dakayo amin, a nabatbati iti balay ni Jacob, nga inay-aywanak sakbay pay a naipasngaykayo, naisikug iti aanakan:
4 Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
Uray inton lumakaykayo, siak latta, ken uray no aguban dagiti bubuokyo aywanankayto. Pinarsuakayo, ken ipaayko dagiti kasapulanyo, itundakayo iti pakatalgedanyo.
5 To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
Siasino ti pangidiliganyo kaniak? Ken siasino ti kaas-aspingko, tapno mapagdinniligdakami?
6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
Iburburais dagiti tattao ti balitok manipud iti pagkargaan ken mangtimbangda iti pirak. Mangtangdangda iti mammanday, ket aramidenna daytoy a didiosen; agruknoyda ken agdayawda iti daytoy.
7 They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
Ibaklayda daytoy; ikabilda iti lugar a pakaisaadanna, ket nakatakder latta daytoy iti disso a nakaikabilanna ken saan nga umakar daytoy manipud iti ayanna. Agasugda iti daytoy, ngem saan a makasungbat wenno makaisalakan iti siasinoman a mariribukan.
8 Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
Amirisenyo dagitoy a banbanag; saanyo nga iyaleng-aleng dagitoy, dakayo a managsukir!
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
Amirisenyo dagiti immuna a banbanag, dagiti napalabas, ta siak ti Dios, ket awan sabali pay, Siak ti Dios, ket awan ti kas kaniak.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
Impakpakaammok ti panungpalan manipud idi punganay, ken imbagbagak ti saan pay a napasamak; kunak, “Mapasamakto dagiti panggepko, ken aramidek ti tarigagayko.”
11 I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.
Awagak ti tumatayab a tiltiliwen dagiti ayup manipud iti daya, ti tao a napilik manipud iti adayo a daga; wen, nasaokon; ipatungpalko met daytoy; adda panggepko, aramidek met daytoy.
12 Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a nasukir a tattao, dakayo a saan a mangar-aramid iti nalinteg.
13 I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
Iyasidegko ti kinalintegko; saan nga adayo daytoy, ken saan nga aguray ti panangisalakanko; ket ipaayko ti pannakaisalakan iti Sion ken ti kinapintasko iti Israel.
