WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 En carreta de bueyes llevan a los ídolos de Babilonia, Bel y Nebo. ¡Pero miren! ¡Las bestias tropiezan! ¡El carro se vuelca!
1 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.
2 ¡Los dioses caen por tierra! ¿Es eso todo lo que pueden hacer? Si ni a sí mismos pueden salvarse de caer, ¿cómo podrán salvar de Ciro a sus adoradores?
2 They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
3 Escúchenme, todos lo que han quedado de Israel: Yo los creé y los he cuidado desde su nacimiento.
3 “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.
4 Yo seré su Dios en toda su vida. Sí, hasta que su cabello se encanezca por la edad. Yo los hice y yo los cuidaré, los llevaré en mis manos y seré su Salvador.
4 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.
5 ¿A qué me compararán en el cielo o en la tierra? ¿A qué me igualarán?
5 “To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
6 ¿Me compararán con un ídolo hecho de oro y plata? Contratan un orfebre que tome su riqueza y con ella les haga un dios. ¡Después se postran y lo adoran!
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down— yes, they worship.
7 Lo llevan en hombros y cuando lo ponen abajo, allí se queda, pues no puede moverse. Y cuando alguien le suplica no obtiene respuesta, pues no puede sacarlo de apuros.
7 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.
8 ¡No lo olviden, apóstatas,
8 “Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
9 no echen en olvido las muchas veces que con claridad les dije lo que acontecería en el futuro! Porque yo soy Dios, yo y nadie más, y no hay otro que me iguale,
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 que pueda predecir lo que va a suceder. Todo cuanto yo digo se cumple, pues yo hago cuanto quiero.
10 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.
11 Del oriente llamaré aquella veloz ave de rapiña, a Ciro, aquel varón de tierras lejanas. Él acudirá y hará mi voluntad.
11 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.
12 ¡Escúchenme, hombres empecinados y perversos,
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
13 porque yo les ofrezco liberación, no en un futuro lejano, sino ahora mismo! Presto estoy para salvarlos, y restauraré a Jerusalén y a Israel, gloria mía.
13 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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And on this account, he (the Demiurge), being incapable of recognising any spiritual essences, imagined himself to be God alone, and declared through the prophets, "I am God, and besides me there is none else." They further teach that the spirits of wickedness derived their origin from grief.
Thou wilt carry us both when little, and even to grey hairs wilt Thou carry us; for our firmness, when it is Thou, then is it firmness; but when it is our own, then it is infirmity.
