Esias 46
1 Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: you take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
POSTRÓSE Bel, abatióse Nebo; sus simulacros fueron [puestos] sobre bestias, y sobre animales [de carga]: os llevarán cargados de vosotros, carga penosa.
2 who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
Fueron humillados, fueron abatidos juntamente; no pudieron escaparse de la carga, sino que tuvieron ellos mismos que ir en cautiverio.
3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
Oidme, oh casa de Jacob, y todo el resto de la casa de Israel, los que sois traídos [por mí] desde el vientre, los que sois llevados desde la matriz.
4 I am [he]; and until you shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
Y hasta la vejez yo mismo, y hasta las canas [os] soportaré yo: yo hice, yo llevaré, yo soportaré y guardaré.
5 To whom have you compared me? see, consider, you that go astray.
¿A quién me asemejáis, y me igualáis, y me comparáis, para que sea semejante?
6 They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
Sacan oro del talego, y pesan plata con balanzas, alquilan un platero para hacer un dios de ello; humíllanse y adoran.
7 They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it can’t move: and whoever shall cry to it, it can’t hear; it can’t save him from trouble.
Echanselo sobre los hombros, llévanlo, y asiéntanlo en su lugar; allí se está, y no se mueve de su sitio. Danle voces, y tampoco responde, ni libra de la tribulación.
8 Remember you these things, and groan: repent, you that have gone astray, return in your heart;
Acordaos de esto, y tened vergüenza; tornad en vosotros, prevaricadores.
9 and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,
Acordaos de las cosas pasadas desde el siglo; porque yo soy Dios, y no hay más Dios, y nada hay á mí semejante;
10 telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
Que anuncio lo por venir desde el principio, y desde antiguo lo que aun no era hecho; que digo: Mi consejo permanecerá, y haré todo lo que quisiere;
11 calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
Que llamo desde el oriente al ave, y de tierra lejana al varón de mi consejo. Yo hablé, y lo haré venir: he[lo] pensado, y también lo haré.
12 Listen to me, you senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
Oidme, duros de corazón, que estáis lejos de la justicia.
13 I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
Haré que se acerque mi justicia, no se alejará: y mi salud no se detendrá. Y pondré salud en Sión, y mi gloria en Israel.
