Los dioses de Babilonia
46 Bel se inclina, Nebo se somete;
sus ídolos son llevados por bestias de carga.[a]
Pesadas son las imágenes que por todas partes llevan;
son una carga para el agotado.
2 Todos a la vez se someten y se inclinan;
no pudieron rescatar la carga
y ellos mismos van al cautiverio.
3 «Escúchenme, descendientes de Jacob,
todo el resto del pueblo de Israel,
a quienes he cargado desde el vientre
y he llevado desde la cuna.
4 Aun en la vejez, cuando ya peinen canas,
yo seré el mismo, yo los sostendré.
Yo los hice y cuidaré de ustedes;
los sostendré y los libraré.
5 »¿Con quién vas a compararme o a quién me vas a igualar?
¿A quién vas a asemejarme para que seamos parecidos?
6 Algunos derrochan oro de sus bolsas
y pesan plata en la balanza;
contratan a un joyero para que les haga un dios
y ante ese dios se postran para adorarlo.
7 Lo levantan en hombros y lo cargan;
lo ponen en su lugar y allí se queda.
No se puede mover de su sitio.
Por más que clamen a él, no habrá de responderles
ni podrá salvarlos de sus aflicciones.
8 »Recuerden esto, rebeldes;
piénsenlo bien, fíjenlo en su corazón.
9 Recuerden las cosas pasadas, aquellas de antaño;
yo soy Dios y no hay ningún otro,
yo soy Dios y no hay nadie igual a mí.
10 Yo anuncio el fin desde el principio;
desde los tiempos antiguos, lo que está por venir.
Yo digo: Mi propósito se cumplirá,
y haré todo lo que deseo.
11 Del oriente llamo al ave de rapiña;
de tierra distante, al hombre que cumplirá mi propósito.
Lo que he dicho, haré que se cumpla;
lo que he planeado, lo realizaré.
12 Escúchenme ustedes, gente de corazón duro,
que están lejos de la justicia.
13 Mi justicia no está lejana;
mi salvación ya no tarda.
¡Estoy por traerlas!
Concederé salvación a Sión
y mi esplendor a Israel.

The Idols of Babylon and the One True God
46 (A)Bel bows down; Nebo stoops;
their idols are on beasts and livestock;
these things you carry are borne
as burdens on weary beasts.
2 They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the burden,
but (B)themselves go into captivity.
3 “Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
(C)who have been borne by me from before your birth,
carried from the womb;
4 (D)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.
5 (E)“To whom will you liken me and make me equal,
and compare me, that we may be alike?
6 (F)Those who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
(G)then they fall down and worship!
7 (H)They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
(I)it cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.
8 “Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, (J)you transgressors,
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,
10 (K)declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, (L)‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11 (M)calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
(N)I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it.

Gods of Babylon
46 Bel(A) bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols(B) are borne by beasts of burden.[a]
The images that are carried(C) about are burdensome,
a burden for the weary.
2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.(D)
3 “Listen(E) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
all the remnant(F) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(G)
and have carried(H) since you were born.(I)
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs(J)
I am he,(K) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain(L) 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?(M)
6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith(N) to make it into a god,
and they bow down and worship it.(O)
7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry(P) it;
they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.(Q)
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;(R)
it cannot save(S) them from their troubles.
8 “Remember(T) this, keep it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.(U)
9 Remember the former things,(V) those of long ago;(W)
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.(X)
10 I make known the end from the beginning,(Y)
from ancient times,(Z) what is still to come.(AA)
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,(AB)
and I will do all that I please.’
11 From the east I summon(AC) a bird of prey;(AD)
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned,(AE) that I will do.(AF)
12 Listen(AG) to me, you stubborn-hearted,(AH)
you who are now far from my righteousness.(AI)
13 I am bringing my righteousness(AJ) near,
it is not far away;
and my salvation(AK) will not be delayed.
I will grant salvation to Zion,(AL)
my splendor(AM) to Israel.
