La Biblia New American Bible
1 Se desploma Bel, se encorva Nebo, | sus imágenes van cargadas sobre bestias. | Los objetos que transportáis | son una carga abrumadora | para los animales agotados:1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon beasts and cattle; They must be borne up on shoulders, carried as burdens by the weary.
2 se encorvan y desploman, | no pueden liberarse de su carga, | ellos mismos marchan al destierro.2 They stoop and bow down together; unable to save those who bear them, they too go into captivity.
3 Escuchadme, casa de Jacob, | resto de la casa de Israel, | con quienes cargué desde el seno materno, | a quienes llevé desde las entrañas.3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, all who remain of the house of Israel, My burden since your birth, whom I have carried from your infancy.
4 Hasta vuestra vejez yo seré el mismo, | hasta que tengáis canas os sostendré; | así he actuado, así seguiré actuando, | yo os sostendré y os libraré.4 Even to your old age I am the same, even when your hair is gray I will bear you; It is I who have done this, I who will continue, and I who will carry you to safety.
5 ¿A quién me podéis comparar o igualar? | ¿A quién parangonarme, de modo que seamos semejantes?5 Whom would you compare me with, as an equal, or match me against, as though we were alike?
6 Hay quienes dilapidan el oro de su bolsa | y pesan plata en la balanza; | pagan a un orfebre para que les haga un dios, | se postran y lo adoran.6 There are those who pour out gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales; Then they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god before which they fall down in worship.
7 Se lo cargan a hombros, lo transportan; | donde lo ponen, allí se queda; | no se mueve de su sitio. | Por mucho que le griten, no responde, | ni los salva del peligro.7 They lift it to their shoulders to carry; when they set it in place again, it stays, and does not move from the spot. Although they cry out to it, it cannot answer; it delivers no one from distress.
8 Recordadlo y meditadlo, | reflexionad, rebeldes,8 Remember this and be firm, bear it well in mind, you rebels; remember the former things, those long ago:
9 recordad el pasado. | Desde siempre yo soy Dios; | no hay otro dios, | ni hay nadie como yo.9 I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me.
10 Desde el comienzo yo anuncio el futuro; | de antemano, lo que aún no ha sucedido. | Digo: «Mi designio se cumplirá, | realizo lo que quiero».10 At the beginning I foretell the outcome; in advance, things not yet done. I say that my plan shall stand, I accomplish my every purpose.
11 Del Oriente llamo a un ave de rapiña, | de tierra lejana, al hombre que realice mi designio. | Lo he dicho, haré que ocurra, | lo he dispuesto y lo realizaré.11 I call from the east a bird of prey, from a distant land, one to carry out my plan. Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it; I have planned it, and I will do it.
12 Escuchadme, corazones obstinados, | que estáis lejos de la liberación.12 Listen to me, you fainthearted, you who seem far from the victory of justice:
13 Yo aproximo mi justicia, no está lejos, | mi salvación no se pospone, | concedo a Sión la salvación y mi honor a Israel.13 I am bringing on my justice, it is not far off, my salvation shall not tarry; I will put salvation within Zion, and give to Israel my glory.
