< Isaiah 46 >

1 Bel is bowed down, Nebo sinketh, their idols are [delivered] unto the beasts, and unto the cattle; those which were once carried by you are now laden up a burden to the weary beasts.
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 They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves are gone into captivity.
Agrukob ken agparintumengda a sangsangkamaysa; saanda a maispal dagiti imahen, ken uray isuda a mismo ket maitalaw.
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne [by me] from their birth, who are carried from the womb;
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 And even unto old age I am the same; and even unto the time of hoary hairs will I bear: l have done it, and I will carry [you]; even I will bear, 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 ye liken and assimilate me, and compare me, that we may be like?
Siasino ti pangidiliganyo kaniak? Ken siasino ti kaas-aspingko, tapno mapagdinniligdakami?
6 [There are those] that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; that hire a melter, that he may make of it a god; they [then] bend the knee, yea, they bow themselves down;
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 carry him, upon the shoulder they bear him, and set up him in his spot, and he remaineth standing, from his place he doth not move: yea, though one should cry unto him, he cannot answer, out of his trouble he cannot help him.
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 take courage: take it again to heart, O ye transgressors.
Amirisenyo dagitoy a banbanag; saanyo nga iyaleng-aleng dagitoy, dakayo a managsukir!
9 Remember the former things of olden times; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is nothing 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 Declaring from the beginning the end, and from the earliest days the things that have not yet been done, saying, My counsel shall stand firm, and all my pleasure will I do:
Impakpakaammok ti panungpalan manipud idi punganay, ken imbagbagak ti saan pay a napasamak; kunak, “Mapasamakto dagiti panggepko, ken aramidek ti tarigagayko.”
11 Calling from the east the eagle, from a far-off country the man of my counsel; yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also execute 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 Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness:
Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a nasukir a tattao, dakayo a saan a mangar-aramid iti nalinteg.
13 I have brought near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.
Iyasidegko ti kinalintegko; saan nga adayo daytoy, ken saan nga aguray ti panangisalakanko; ket ipaayko ti pannakaisalakan iti Sion ken ti kinapintasko iti Israel.
