Isaiah 46

1 Bel is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.

He has bowed down Bel [is] stooping low Nebo they belong idols their to the animal[s] and to the cattle burdens your [are] carried a load for a weary [animal].

2 They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.

They have stooped low they have bowed down together not they have been able to rescue a burden and self their in captivity it has gone.

3 Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the birth.

Listen to me O house of Jacob and all [the] remnant of [the] house of Israel who have been carried from [the] belly who have been borne from [the] womb.

4 Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer you.

And until old age I [am] he and until gray hair I I will carry I I made and I I will bear and I I will carry and I may rescue.

5 To whom will ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?

To whom? will you liken me and you may make [me] equal? and will you compare? me and we may be alike.

6 They draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.

Those [who] pour out gold from a bag and silver on scale[s] they weigh out they hire a metalsmith and he makes it a god they prostrate themselves also they bow down.

7 They beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his tribulation.

They lift up it on a shoulder they carry it and they set down it in place its so it may stand from place its not it departs also he cries out to it and not it answers from trouble his not it delivers him.

8 Remember this, and be ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.

Remember this and pluck up courage bring [it] back O rebels on heart.

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing like me,

Remember former [things] from long ago for I [am] God and there not [is] yet God and there not [is] like me.

10 Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.

[one who] declares From [the] beginning [the] end and from antiquity [things] which not they have been done [one who] says purpose my it will be fulfilled and all desire my I will accomplish.

11 I call a birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.

[one who] calls From [the] east a bird of prey from a land of distance a man of (purpose my *Q(K)*) also I have spoken also I will bring it I have planned also I will accomplish it.

12 Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.

Listen to me O [people] mighty of heart O [people] distant from righteousness.

13 I bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto Israel.

I have brought near righteousness my not it is far away and salvation my not it will delay and I will give in Zion salvation to Israel splendor my.
