< Isaias 46 >

1 Agrukrukbab ni Bel, agdumdumog ni Nebo; aw-awiten dagiti ayup dagiti didiosenda. Dagitoy a didiosen nga aw-awitenda ket padagsen kadagiti nabannog nga ayup.
Bel sinketh down; Nebo falleth; Their images are laid upon beasts and cattle; Those that ye once bore are packed upon them; A burden to the weary beast!
2 Agrukob ken agparintumengda a sangsangkamaysa; saanda a maispal dagiti imahen, ken uray isuda a mismo ket maitalaw.
They sink down; they fall together; They cannot rescue the burden; They themselves go into captivity.
3 Dumngegka kaniak, balay ti Jacob, ken dakayo amin, a nabatbati iti balay ni Jacob, nga inay-aywanak sakbay pay a naipasngaykayo, naisikug iti aanakan:
Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel; Ye that have been borne by me from your birth, That have been carried by me from your earliest breath!
4 Uray inton lumakaykayo, siak latta, ken uray no aguban dagiti bubuokyo aywanankayto. Pinarsuakayo, ken ipaayko dagiti kasapulanyo, itundakayo iti pakatalgedanyo.
Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 Siasino ti pangidiliganyo kaniak? Ken siasino ti kaas-aspingko, tapno mapagdinniligdakami?
To whom will ye liken me, and compare me? Yea, to whom will ye compare me, that we may be like?
6 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.
They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver in the balance; They hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; They fall down, yea, they worship it.
7 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.
They lift him upon the shoulder, and carry him; They set him in his place, and there he standeth; From his place he moveth not; Yea, one may cry to him, yet doth he not answer, Nor save him out of his distress.
8 Amirisenyo dagitoy a banbanag; saanyo nga iyaleng-aleng dagitoy, dakayo a managsukir!
Remember these things, and show yourselves men; Lay them to heart, ye apostates!
9 Amirisenyo dagiti immuna a banbanag, dagiti napalabas, ta siak ti Dios, ket awan sabali pay, Siak ti Dios, ket awan ti kas kaniak.
Remember the former things in ancient times! For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
10 Impakpakaammok ti panungpalan manipud idi punganay, ken imbagbagak ti saan pay a napasamak; kunak, “Mapasamakto dagiti panggepko, ken aramidek ti tarigagayko.”
Declaring the end from the beginning; From ancient times the things that were not yet done; Saying, My purpose shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure;
11 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.
Calling from the East the eagle, The man that executeth my purpose from a far country; I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a nasukir a tattao, dakayo a saan a mangar-aramid iti nalinteg.
Hearken to me, ye stubborn-hearted, That are far from deliverance!
13 Iyasidegko ti kinalintegko; saan nga adayo daytoy, ken saan nga aguray ti panangisalakanko; ket ipaayko ti pannakaisalakan iti Sion ken ti kinapintasko iti Israel.
I have brought near my deliverance; it is not far off; My salvation shall not tarry; I will give to Zion salvation, To Israel, my glory.
