Isaiæ 46

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Concidit Bel, incurvavit se Nabo; fuerunt simulacra eorum bestiis et iumentis. Statuae vestrae portantur, onera lassis.	1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 Se incurvaverunt et conciderunt simul; non potuerunt salvare onus et ipsi in captivitatem ibunt.	2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Audite me, domus Iacob et omne residuum domus Israel, qui portamini ab utero, qui gestamini a vulva.	3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4 Usque ad senectam ego ipse et usque ad canos ego portabo; et ego feci et ego feram, ego portabo et salvabo.	4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 Cui assimilatis me et adaequatis et comparatis me, et erimus similes?	5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 Qui effundunt aurum de sacculo et argentum statera ponderant, conducunt aurificem, ut faciat deum, et procidunt et adorant.	6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
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.	7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Mementote istud et confundamini; redite, praevaricatores, ad cor.	8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Recordamini prioris saeculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra Deus, nec est similis mei.	9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Annuntians ab exordio novissimum et ab initio, quae necdum facta sunt, dicens: “ Consilium meum stabit, et omnem voluntatem meam faciam ”.	10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Vocans ab oriente avem rapacem et de terra longinqua virum consilii mei; et locutus sum et adducam illud, decrevi et faciam illud.	11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Audite me, duri corde, qui longe estis a iustitia.	12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Prope feci iustitiam meam, non elongabitur; et salus mea non morabitur: et dabo in Sion salutem et Israeli gloriam meam.	13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
