< Isaiah 46 >

1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
conflatus est Bel contritus est Nabo facta sunt simulacra eorum bestiis et iumentis onera vestra gravi pondere usque ad lassitudinem
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
contabuerunt et contrita sunt simul non potuerunt salvare portantem et anima eorum in captivitatem ibit
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
audite me domus Iacob et omne residuum domus Israhel qui portamini a meo utero qui gestamini a mea vulva
4 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
usque ad senectam ego ipse et usque ad canos ego portabo ego feci et ego feram et ego portabo et salvabo
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
cui adsimilastis me et adaequastis et conparastis me et fecistis similem
6 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
qui confertis aurum de sacculo et argentum statera ponderatis conducentes aurificem ut faciat deum et procidunt et adorant
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
portant illud in umeris gestantes et ponentes in loco suo et stabit ac de loco suo non movebitur sed et cum clamaverint ad eum non audiet de tribulatione non salvabit eos
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
mementote istud et fundamini redite praevaricatores ad cor
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like Me.
recordamini prioris saeculi quoniam ego sum Deus et non est ultra Deus nec est similis mei
10 Declaring the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight I do.
adnuntians ab exordio novissimum et ab initio quae necdum facta sunt dicens consilium meum stabit et omnis voluntas mea fiet
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
vocans ab oriente avem et de terra longinqua virum voluntatis meae et locutus sum et adducam illud creavi et faciam illud
12 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
audite me duro corde qui longe estis a iustitia
13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
prope feci iustitiam meam non elongabitur et salus mea non morabitur dabo in Sion salutem et Israheli gloriam meam
