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 bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
2 Sila'y yumuyukod, sila'y nangagpapatirapang magkakasama; hindi nila maiwasan ang pasan, kundi sila ma'y napapasok sa pagkabihag.
They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
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, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, 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.
Even to old age, I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and deliver.
5 Kanino ninyo ako itutulad, at ipaparis, at iwawangis ako, upang kami ay magkagaya?
To whom do you liken Me, and make equal? 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.
They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
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 lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
8 Inyong alalahanin ito, at mangagpakalalake kayo: isaisip ninyo uli, Oh ninyong mga mananalangsang.
Remember this, and show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O 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 former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God—and there is none 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 the latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight 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 a ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I do it.
12 Inyong dinggin ako, ninyong may mapagmatigas na loob; na malayo sa katuwiran:
Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who 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 My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory!”
