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.
Postróse Bel, abatióse Nebo, sus imágenes fueron puestas sobre bestias, y sobre animales de carga, que os llevarán, cargadas de vosotros, carga de cansancio.
2 They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves are gone into captivity.
Fueron encorvados, fueron abatidos juntamente; y no pudieron escaparse de la carga; y su alma hubo de ir en cautividad.
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;
Oídme, o! casa de Jacob, y todo el resto de la casa de Israel, los que sois traídos de vientre, los que sois llevados de matriz.
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.
Y hasta la vejez yo mismo, y hasta las canas yo suportaré: yo hice, yo llevaré, yo suportaré y guardaré.
5 To whom will ye liken and assimilate me, and compare me, that we may be like?
¿A quién me hacéis semejante, y me igualáis, y me comparáis para ser semejante?
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;
Sacan oro de su talegón, y pesan plata con balanzas: alquilan un platero para hacer dios de él: humíllanse, y adoran.
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.
Echánsele sobre los hombros, llévanle, y asiéntanle en su lugar, y allí se está, y no se mueve de su lugar: dánle voces, y tampoco responde, ni libra de la tribulación.
8 Remember this, and take courage: take it again to heart, O ye transgressors.
Acordáos de esto, y tenéd vergüenza: tornád en vosotros, prevaricadores.
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.
Acordáos de las cosas pasadas desde el siglo; porque yo soy Dios; y no hay más dios; y nada hay a mí semejante:
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:
Que anuncio lo por venir desde el principio; y desde antiguamente lo que aun no era hecho: que digo: Mi consejo permanecerá, y haré todo lo que quisiere:
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.
Que llamo desde el oriente al ave, y de tierra lejana al varón de mi consejo: yo hablé, por eso lo haré venir: lo pensé, hacerlo he también.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness:
Oídme, duros de corazón, que estáis lejos de la justicia.
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.
Haré a mí justicia que se acerque, y no se alejará; y mi salud no se detendrá. Y pondré salud en Sión; y mi gloria, en Israel.
