Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
“Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.
46:4
እስከ፡ ይረሥኡ።
直到你們年老，我仍這樣； 直到你們髮白，我仍懷搋。 我已造作，也必保抱； 我必懷抱，也必拯救。
Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
46:5
በመኑ፡ እንከ፡ ታስተማስሉኒ፤ ርእዩ፡ ወተኬነዉ፡ ኵልክሙ፡ እለ፡ ትስሕቱ።
你們將誰與我相比，與我同等， 可以與我比較，使我們相同呢？
“To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
46:12
ስምዑኒ፡ እለ፡ ሐጐልክሙ፡ ልበክሙ፣፡ እለ፡ ትትረኃቁ፡ እምነ፡ ጽድቅ።
你們這些心中頑梗、 遠離公義的，當聽我言。
Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
46:13
አምጻእክዋ፡ ለጽድቅየ፣፡ ወኢያጐነዲ፡ እንከ፡ መድኃኒትየ፡ ዘእምኀቤየ።
我使我的公義臨近，必不遠離。 我的救恩必不遲延； 我要為以色列－我的榮耀， 在錫安施行救恩。
I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.
