Isaias 46
1 Si Bel ay nagpapatirapa, sa Nebo ay yumuyukod; ang kanilang mga diosdiosan ay pasan sa ibabaw ng mga hayop, at sa ibabaw ng mga baka: ang mga bagay na inyong daladalang inilibot ay mabigat na pasan sa pagod na hayop.
Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: ye take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
2 Sila'y yumuyukod, sila'y nangagpapatirapang magkakasama; hindi nila maiwasan ang pasan, kundi sila ma'y napapasok sa pagkabihag.
who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
3 Inyong dinggin ako, Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, at lahat na nalabi sa sangbahayan ni Israel, na kinalong ko mula sa tiyan, na dala mula sa bahay-bata:
Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
4 At hanggang sa katandaan ay ako nga, at hanggang sa magka uban ay dadalhin kita; aking ginawa, at aking dadalhin; oo, aking dadalhin, at aking ililigtas.
I am [he]; and until ye shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
5 Kanino ninyo ako itutulad, at ipaparis, at iwawangis ako, upang kami ay magkagaya?
To whom have ye compared me? see, consider, ye that go astray.
6 Sila'y dumudukot ng maraming ginto sa supot, at tumitimbang ng pilak sa timbangan, sila'y nagsisiupa ng panday-ginto, at kaniyang ginagawang dios; sila'y nangagpapatirapa, oo, sila'y nagsisisamba.
They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
7 Pinapasan nila siya sa balikat, dinadala nila siya, at inilalagay siya sa kaniyang dako, at siya'y nakatayo; mula sa kaniyang dako ay hindi siya makikilos: oo, may dadaing sa kaniya, gayon ma'y hindi siya makasasagot, o makapagliligtas man sa kaniya sa kaniyang kabagabagan.
They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move: and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.
8 Inyong alalahanin ito, at mangagpakalalake kayo: isaisip ninyo uli, Oh ninyong mga mananalangsang.
Remember ye these things, and groan: repent, ye that have gone astray, return in your heart;
9 Inyong alalahanin ang mga dating bagay ng una: sapagka't ako'y Dios, at walang iba liban sa akin; ako'y Dios, at walang gaya ko;
and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside me,
10 Na nagpapahayag ng wakas mula sa pasimula, at mula nang mga unang panahon, ng mga bagay na hindi pa nangyayari; na nagsasabi, Ang payo ko ay mananayo, at gagawin ko ang aking buong kaligayahan:
telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
11 Na tumatawag ng ibong mangdadagit mula sa silanganan, ng taong gumagawa ng aking payo mula sa malayong lupain; oo, aking sinalita, akin namang papangyayarihin; aking, pinanukala, akin namang gagawin.
calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
12 Inyong dinggin ako, ninyong may mapagmatigas na loob; na malayo sa katuwiran:
Hearken to me, ye senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
13 Aking inilalapit ang aking katuwiran, hindi maglalaon at ang aking pagliligtas ay hindi magluluwat: at aking ilalagay ang kaligtasan sa Sion na ukol sa Israel na aking kaluwalhatian.
I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for glory.
