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 been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
2 Sila'y yumuyukod, sila'y nangagpapatirapang magkakasama; hindi nila maiwasan ang pasan, kundi sila ma'y napapasok sa pagkabihag.
They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
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:
Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
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.
Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
5 Kanino ninyo ako itutulad, at ipaparis, at iwawangis ako, upang kami ay magkagaya?
To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
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.
You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
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 carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
8 Inyong alalahanin ito, at mangagpakalalake kayo: isaisip ninyo uli, Oh ninyong mga mananalangsang.
Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the 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;
Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like 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:
From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
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.
I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
12 Inyong dinggin ako, ninyong may mapagmatigas na loob; na malayo sa katuwiran:
Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
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 my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
