Isaiah 46

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Nova Vulgata
¹ Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are on beasts and cattle; these things you carry are loaded as burdens on weary beasts.	¹ Concidit Bel, incurvavit se Nabo; fuerunt simulacra eorum bestiis et iumentis. Statuae vestrae portantur, onera lassis.
² They stoop, they bow down together, they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity.	² Se incurvaverunt et conciderunt simul; non potuerunt salvare onus et ipsi in captivitatem ibunt.
³ "Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from your birth, carried from the womb;	³ Audite me, domus Iacob et omne residuum domus Israel, qui portamini ab utero, qui gestamini a vulva.
⁴ even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.	⁴ Usque ad senectam ego ipse et usque ad canos ego portabo; et ego feci et ego feram, ego portabo et salvabo.
⁵ "To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?	⁵ Cui assimilatis me et adaequatis et comparatis me, et erimus similes?
⁶ Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship!	⁶ Qui effundunt aurum de sacculo et argentum statera ponderant, conducunt aurificem, ut faciat deum, et procidunt et adorant.
⁷ They lift it upon their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his 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 consider, recall it to mind, you transgressors,	⁸ Mementote istud et confundamini; redite, praevaricatores, ad cor.
⁹ remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,	⁹ Recordamini prioris saeculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra Deus, nec est similis mei.
¹⁰ declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'	¹⁰ Annuntians ab exordio novissimum et ab initio, quae necdum facta sunt, dicens: “ Consilium meum stabit, et omnem voluntatem meam faciam ”.
¹¹ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.	¹¹ Vocans ab oriente avem rapacem et de terra longinqua virum consilii mei; et locutus sum et adducam illud, decrevi et faciam illud.
¹² "Hearken to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from deliverance:	¹² Audite me, duri corde, qui longe estis a iustitia.
¹³ I bring near my deliverance, it is not far off, and my salvation will not tarry; I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory."	¹³ Prope feci iustitiam meam, non elongabitur; et salus mea non morabitur: et dabo in Sion salutem et Israeli gloriam meam.
