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.
Mibotreke ty Bele, Midrokoke ty Nebò; vavè’ o bibio, o añombe mijiny kilankañeo, ty sare’e; nampilogologoeñe o raha endese’ areoo o biby mokotseo.
2 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
Mibokoboko iereo, mitrao-piondreke, tsy nitafete’ iareo i kilankañey; vaho songa nasese mb’am-pandrohizañe añe.
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.
Mijanjiña ahy ry anjomba’ Iakobeo, naho ry sehangan’ anjomba’ Israeleo, o nivesareko boak’am-pisamaha’eo, o notroñeñe boak’ an-koviñe ao
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.
pak’ an-ka’anterañeo, Izaho ro Ie, ho babèko pak’ a maròy foty irehe; Izaho ty namboatse, izaho ty hinday; eka hotroñeko mbore hampipalireko.
5 To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
Ia ty hampañirinkiriña’ areo amako, naho hampihambaña’areo, vaho hampanahafa’ areo, soa te hifañoronkoroñe?
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.
Mandrarake volamena boak’ an-kotrañe ao ty ila’e, naho mandanja volafoty am-balantsy; vaho mañarama mpanefe volamena hañamboare’e ndrahare, hibokobokoa’e naho hitalahoa’e.
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.
Jinie’ iereo an-tsoroke, endeseñe, apo’ iereo amy toe’ey, ie mijagarodoñe eo, tsy hienga i toe’ey; eka, ndra t’ie kaikaiheñe tsy mete manoiñe, tsy haharombak’ aze amy hasosora’ey.
8 Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
Tiahio le mijadoña; ampolio an-troke ao, ry mpanan-kakeo.
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
Tiahio o raha taoloo, eka haehae; te Izaho ro Andrianañahare naho tsy aman-tovo; Izaho ro Andrianañahare vaho tsy eo ty hambañe amako,
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.’
Mitaroñe ty figadoña’e hirik’am-baloha’e, boake haehae añe o mbe tsy nanoeñeo, ami’ty hoe: Hijadoñe ty ereñereko, vaho hene hanoeko ze mahafale ty troko;
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.
Ho tokaveko boak’ atiñanañe añe ty voroñe mipay hena; t’indaty nisafirieko boak’ an-tsietoitane añe; eka fa nivolan-dRaho le ho henefeko, niereñeren-dRaho vaho hanoeko.
12 Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
Haoño iraho, ry gan-katokeo, ry lavitse havañonañeo.
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.
Hendeseko marine eo ty havantañako, tsy ho lavitse, tsy halaoñe i fandrombahakoy; vaho hatoloko amy Tsione ty fandrombahañe, ho a’ Israele engeko.
