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 is bowed down, Nebo sinketh, their idols are [delivered] unto the beasts, and unto the cattle; those which were once carried by you are now laden up a burden to the weary beasts.
2 Sila'y yumuyukod, sila'y nangagpapatirapang magkakasama; hindi nila maiwasan ang pasan, kundi sila ma'y napapasok sa pagkabihag.
They are sunk, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves are gone 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:
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne [by me] from their birth, who are carried from the 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.
And even unto old age I am the same; and even unto the time of hoary hairs will I bear: l have done it, and I will carry [you]; even I will bear, and deliver you.
5 Kanino ninyo ako itutulad, at ipaparis, at iwawangis ako, upang kami ay magkagaya?
To whom will ye liken and assimilate me, and compare me, that we may be like?
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.
[There are those] that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; that hire a melter, that he may make of it a god; they [then] bend the knee, yea, they bow themselves down;
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, upon the shoulder they bear him, and set up him in his spot, and he remaineth standing, from his place he doth not move: yea, though one should cry unto him, he cannot answer, out of his trouble he cannot help him.
8 Inyong alalahanin ito, at mangagpakalalake kayo: isaisip ninyo uli, Oh ninyong mga mananalangsang.
Remember this, and take courage: take it again to heart, O ye transgressors.
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 former things of olden times; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is nothing 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:
Declaring from the beginning the end, and from the earliest days the things that have not yet been done, saying, My counsel shall stand firm, and all my pleasure will I do:
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 from the east the eagle, from a far-off country the man of my counsel; yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also execute it.
12 Inyong dinggin ako, ninyong may mapagmatigas na loob; na malayo sa katuwiran:
Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, 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; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.
