Isaiah 46

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.	1 Confractus est Bel, contritus est Nabo ; facta sunt simulacra eorum bestiis et jumentis, onera vestra gravi pondere usque ad lassitudinem.
2 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.	2 Contabuerunt, et contrita sunt simul ; non potuerunt salvare portantem, et anima eorum in captivitatem ibit.
3 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.	3 Audite me, domus Jacob, et omne residuum domus Israël ; qui portamini a meo utero, qui gestamini a mea vulva.
4 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.	4 Usque ad senectam ego ipse, et usque ad canos ego portabo ; ego feci, et ego feram ; ego portabo, et salvabo.
5 To whom would you likened me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?	5 Cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis, et comparastis me, et fecistis similem ?
6 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.	6 Qui confertis aurum de sacculo, et argentum statera ponderatis, conducentes aurificem ut faciat deum, et procidunt, et adorant.
7 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.	7 Portant illum in humeris gestantes, et ponentes in loco suo, et stabit, ac de loco suo non movebitur : sed et cum clamaverint ad eum, non audiet ; de tribulatione non salvabit eos.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.	8 Mementote istud, et confundamini ; redite, prævaricatores, ad cor.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.	9 Recordamini prioris sæculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra deus, nec est similis mei.
10 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.	10 Annuntians ab exordio novissimum, et ab initio quæ necdum facta sunt, dicens : Consilium meum stabit, et omnis voluntas mea fiet.
11 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.	11 Vocans ab oriente avem, et de terra longinqua virum voluntatis meæ : et locutus sum, et adducam illud ; creavi et faciam illud.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!	12 Audite me, duro corde, qui longe estis a justitia.
13 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.	13 Prope feci justitiam meam, non elongabitur, et salus mea non morabitur. Dabo in Sion salutem, et in Israël gloriam meam.
