Isaiah 46

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Bel is crouching, Nebo cowering, their idols are being put on animals, on beasts of burden, the loadsyou have been carrying are a burden to a weary beast.	1 Concidit Bel, incurvavit se Nabo; fuerunt simulacra eorum bestiis et iumentis. Statuae vestrae portantur, onera lassis.
2 They are cowering and crouching together, no one can save this burden, they themselves have goneinto captivity.	2 Se incurvaverunt et conciderunt simul; non potuerunt salvare onus et ipsi in captivitatem ibunt.
3 Listen to me, House of Jacob, al who remain of the House of Israel, whom I have carried since thewomb, whom I have supported since you were conceived.	3 Audite me, domus Iacob et omne residuum domus Israel, qui portamini ab utero, qui gestamini a vulva.
4 Until your old age I shal be the same, until your hair is grey I shall carry you. As I have done, so I shalsupport you, I myself shall carry and shall save you.	4 Usque ad senectam ego ipse et usque ad canos ego portabo; et ego feci et ego feram, ego portabo et salvabo.
5 With whom can you compare me, equate me, to whom can you liken me, making equals of us?	5 Cui assimilatis me et adaequatis et comparatis me, et erimus similes?
6 They lavish gold from their purses and weigh out silver on the scales. They engage a goldsmith tomake a god, then bow low and actually adore!	6 Qui effundunt aurum de sacculo et argentum statera ponderant, conducunt aurificem, ut faciat deum, et procidunt et adorant.
7 They lift it on their shoulders and carry it, and put it down where it is meant to stand, so that it nevermoves from the spot. You may cry out to it in distress, it never replies, it never saves anyone in trouble.	7 Portant illum in umeris gestantes et ponentes in loco suo; et stabit ac de loco suo non movebitur; sed et si quis clamat ad eum, non respondet; de tribulatione eius non salvabit eum.
8 Remember this and stand firm; rebels, look into your hearts.	8 Mementote istud et confundamini; redite, praevaricatores, ad cor.
9 Remember the things that happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and thereis none like me.	9 Recordamini prioris saeculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra Deus, nec est similis mei.
10 From the beginning I revealed the future, in advance, what has not yet occurred. I say: My purposewil come about, I shal do whatever I please;	10 Annuntians ab exordio novissimum et ab initio, quae necdum facta sunt, dicens: “ Consilium meum stabit, et omnem voluntatem meam faciam ”.
11 I cal a bird of prey from the east, my man predestined, from a distant land. What I have said, I shaldo, what I have planned, I shal perform.	11 Vocans ab oriente avem rapacem et de terra longinqua virum consilii mei; et locutus sum et adducam illud, decrevi et faciam illud.
12 Listen to me, you hard-hearted people far removed from saving justice:	12 Audite me, duri corde, qui longe estis a iustitia.
13 I am bringing my justice nearer, it is not far away, my salvation wil not delay. I shal place mysalvation in Zion and my glory in Israel.	13 Prope feci iustitiam meam, non elongabitur; et salus mea non morabitur: et dabo in Sion salutem et Israeli gloriam meam.
