Isaiah 46 – NIVUK & APSD-CEB

New International Version – UK

Isaiah 46:1-13

Gods of Babylon

1Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low;

their idols are borne by beasts of burden.46:1 Or are but beasts and cattle

The images that are carried about are burdensome,

a burden for the weary.

2They stoop and bow down together;

unable to rescue the burden,

they themselves go off into captivity.

3‘Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob,

all the remnant of the people of Israel,

you whom I have upheld since your birth,

and have carried since you were born.

4Even to your old age and grey hairs

I am he, I am he who will sustain you.

I have made you and I will carry you;

I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

5‘With whom will you compare me or count me equal?

To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?

6Some pour out gold from their bags

and weigh out silver on the scales;

they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god,

and they bow down and worship it.

7They lift it to their shoulders and carry it;

they set it up in its place, and there it stands.

From that spot it cannot move.

Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;

it cannot save them from their troubles.

8‘Remember this, keep it in mind,

take it to heart, you rebels.

9Remember the former things, those of long ago;

I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me.

10I make known the end from the beginning,

from ancient times, what is still to come.

I say, “My purpose will stand,

and I will do all that I please.”

11From the east I summon a bird of prey;

from a far-off land, a man to fulfil my purpose.

What I have said, that I will bring about;

what I have planned, that I will do.

12Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,

you who are now far from my righteousness.

13I am bringing my righteousness near,

it is not far away;

and my salvation will not be delayed.

I will grant salvation to Zion,

my splendour to Israel.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios

Isaias 46:1-13

Ang mga dios-dios sa Babilonia

1Ang mga dios-dios sa Babilonia nga sila si Bel ug Nebo nagyuko samtang gikarga sa karwahe nga giguyod sa mga asno. Bug-at sila nga karga alang sa gikapoy nga mga asno. 2Managsama sila nga nagayuko, ug dili nila mahimong luwason ang nagdala kanila. Sila mismo apil sa pagkabihag.

3Pamati kamo kanako, kamong mga kaliwat ni Jacob, kamong tanang nahibilin sa katawhan sa Israel. Giatiman ko kamo sukad pa sa inyong pagkatawo. 4Bisag matigulang na kamo ug ubanon, ako ang moatiman kaninyo. Gihimo ko kamo ug bantayan ko gayod kamo. Tabangan ko kamo ug luwason. 5Kang kinsa ba ninyo ako ikatandi? Aduna bay sama kanako? 6Ang ubang mga tawo mopagawas sa ilang bulawan ug plata ug mosuhol ug platero aron himuon kining dios-dios, ug unya, ila kining yukboan ug simbahon. 7Pas-anon nila kini, ug unya itungtong sa iyang butanganan, ug magpabilin kini didto. Dili na kini makapahawa didto. Kon may mag-ampo niini, dili kini motubag; dili kini makaluwas kanila gikan sa ilang mga kalisod. 8Timan-i ninyo kini, kamong mga masinupakon, ug itanom gayod kini sa inyong alimpatakan. 9Hinumdomi usab ninyo ang akong gipanghimo sa unang panahon. Kay ako lamang ang Dios, ug wala nay lain nga sama nako. 10Sa sinugdan pa lang gipadayag ko na ang umaabot. Sukad pa kaniadto, giplano ko na kon unsa ang mahitabo. Matuman gayod ang akong mga plano; himuon ko ang tanan kong gustong buhaton. 11Magtawag akog usa ka tawo gikan sa usa ka layong dapit sa sidlakan, ug tumanon niya ang akong mga plano. Mosakdap siya sama sa langgam nga nagapangdagit. Kon unsa ang akong gisulti ug giplano tumanon ko kini. 12Pamati kamo kanako, kamong mga gahig ulo. Dili gayod kamo makaangkon ug kadaogan.46:12 Dili… kadaogan: o, Dili gayod kamo maghimo ug matarong. 13Sa dili madugay, hatagan kog kadaogan ug kaluwasan ang Jerusalem,46:13 Jerusalem: sa Hebreo, Zion. ug pasidunggan ko ang Israel.
