Isaías 46
1 POSTRÓSE Bel, abatióse Nebo; sus simulacros fueron [puestos] sobre bestias, y sobre animales [de carga]: os llevarán cargados de vosotros, carga penosa.
Bel, hath crouched, Nebo, is cowering, Their images, are delivered up to beast and to cattle, —The things ye carried about, are become a load, A burden, to the weary!
2 Fueron humillados, fueron abatidos juntamente; no pudieron escaparse de la carga, sino que tuvieron ellos mismos que ir en cautiverio.
They have cowered they have crouched at once, And they cannot rescue the burden, —But their own soul, into captivity, hath departed.
3 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.
Hearken unto me O house of Jacob, Even all the remnant of the house of Israel, —Who have been borne from birth, Who have been carried from nativity:
4 Y hasta la vejez yo mismo, y hasta las canas [os] soportaré yo: yo hice, yo llevaré, yo soportaré y guardaré.
Even unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden, —I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver,
5 ¿A quién me asemejáis, y me igualáis, y me comparáis, para que sea semejante?
To whom can ye liken me or make me equal? Or compare me, and we be like?
6 Sacan oro del talego, y pesan plata con balanzas, alquilan un platero para hacer un dios de ello; humíllanse y adoran.
They who pour gold out of a purse, And who weigh silver in a balance, —Who hire a goldsmith that he may make it into a GOD, They adore, yea they bow down;
7 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.
They carry him about on the shoulder They bear the burden of him—and set him in his place that he may stand, —Out of his place, will he not move, —Though one even make outcry unto him, he will not answer, Out of one’s trouble, he will not save him.
8 Acordaos de esto, y tened vergüenza; tornad en vosotros, prevaricadores.
Remember ye this and shew yourselves men, —Bring it back, ye transgressors, to your minds;
9 Acordaos de las cosas pasadas desde el siglo; porque yo soy Dios, y no hay más Dios, y nada hay á mí semejante;
Remember ye the things named in advance from age-past times, —For, I, am, The Mighty One, and there is none else, The Adorable and there is none like me!
10 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;
Declaring from the beginning, the latter end, And from olden time, that which had never been done, —Saying My purpose shall stand, and All my pleasure, will I perform;
11 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.
Calling, From the East, a Bird of Prey, From a far country, the Man I intended, —Yea I have spoken I will also bring it to pass, I have planned, I will also do it.
12 Oidme, duros de corazón, que estáis lejos de la justicia.
Hearken unto me, Ye valiant of heart, —Who are far away from righteousness:
13 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.
I have brought near my righteousness. It shall not be far away, And my deliverance, shall not linger, —But I will give In Zion, deliverance, To Israel, my glory.
