Isaia 46

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Concidit Bel, incurvavit se Nabo; fuerunt simulacra eorum bestiis et iumentis. Statuae vestrae portantur, onera lassis.	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.
2 Se incurvaverunt et conciderunt simul; non potuerunt salvare onus et ipsi in captivitatem ibunt.	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.
3 Audite me, domus Iacob et omne residuum domus Israel, qui portamini ab utero, qui gestamini a vulva.	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.
4 Usque ad senectam ego ipse et usque ad canos ego portabo; et ego feci et ego feram, ego portabo et salvabo.	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.
5 Cui assimilatis me et adaequatis et comparatis me, et erimus similes?	5 To whom would you likened me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
6 Qui effundunt aurum de sacculo et argentum statera ponderant, conducunt aurificem, ut faciat deum, et procidunt et adorant.	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.
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 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.
8 Mementote istud et confundamini; redite, praevaricatores, ad cor.	8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
9 Recordamini prioris saeculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra Deus, nec est similis mei.	9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
10 Annuntians ab exordio novissimum et ab initio, quae necdum facta sunt, dicens: “ Consilium meum stabit, et omnem voluntatem meam faciam ”.	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.
11 Vocans ab oriente avem rapacem et de terra longinqua virum consilii mei; et locutus sum et adducam illud, decrevi et faciam illud.	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.
12 Audite me, duri corde, qui longe estis a iustitia.	12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
13 Prope feci iustitiam meam, non elongabitur; et salus mea non morabitur: et dabo in Sion salutem et Israeli gloriam meam.	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.
