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.
POSTRÓSE Bel, abatióse Nebo; sus simulacros fueron [puestos] sobre bestias, y sobre animales [de carga]: os llevarán cargados de vosotros, carga penosa.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
Fueron humillados, fueron abatidos juntamente; no pudieron escaparse de la carga, sino que tuvieron ellos mismos que ir en cautiverio.
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,
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 Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
Y hasta la vejez yo mismo, y hasta las canas [os] soportaré yo: yo hice, yo llevaré, yo soportaré y guardaré.
5 To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
¿A quién me asemejáis, y me igualáis, y me comparáis, para que sea semejante?
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.
Sacan oro del talego, y pesan plata con balanzas, alquilan un platero para hacer un dios de ello; humíllanse y adoran.
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.
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 this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Acordaos de esto, y tened vergüenza; tornad en vosotros, prevaricadores.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none like 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 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.
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 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.
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 mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Oidme, duros de corazón, que estáis lejos de la justicia.
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!”
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.
