Esias 16
1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
Emitte agnum Domine dominatorem terræ, de Petra deserti ad montem filiæ Sion.
2 For thou shalt be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] thou shalt be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do thou, O Arnon,
Et erit: Sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiæ Moab in transcensu Arnon.
3 take farther counsel, and continually make thou a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not thou led captive.
Ini consilium, coge concilium: pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie. Absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.
4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with thee; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for thine alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
Habitabunt apud te profugi mei: Moab esto latibulum eorum a facie vastatoris: finitus est enim pulvis, consummatus est miser: defecit qui conculcabat terram.
5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
Et præparabitur in misericordia solium, et sedebit super illud in veritate in tabernaculo David, iudicans et quærens iudicium, et velociter reddens quod iustum est.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: thy prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: superbia eius et arrogantia eius, et indignatio eius plusquam fortitudo eius.
7 Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but thou shalt care for them that dwell in Seth, and thou shalt not be ashamed.
Idcirco ululabit Moab ad Moab, universus ululabit: his, qui lætantur super muros cocti lateris, loquimini plagas suas.
8 The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample ye her vines, even to Jazer: ye shall not come together; wander ye in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.
Quoniam suburbana Hesebon deserta sunt, et vineam Sabama domini Gentium exciderunt: flagella eius usque ad Iazer pervenerunt: erraverunt in deserto, propagines eius relictæ sunt, transierunt mare.
9 Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down thy trees; for I will trample on thy harvest and on thy vintages, and all [thy plants] shall fall.
Super hoc plorabo in fletu Iazer vineam Sabama: inebriabo de lacryma mea Hesebon, et Eleale: quoniam super vindemiam tuam, et super messem tuam vox calcantium irruit.
10 And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.
Et auferetur lætitia et exultatio de Carmelo, et in vineis non exultabit neque iubilabit. Vinum in torculari non calcabit qui calcare consueverat: vocem calcantium abstuli.
11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and thou hast repaired my inward parts as a wall.
Super hoc venter meus ad Moab quasi cithara sonabit, et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.
12 And it shall be to thy shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
Et erit: cum apparuerit quod laboravit Moab super excelsis suis, ingredietur ad sancta sua ut obsecret, et non valebit.
13 This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.
Hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc:
14 And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honoured.
et nunc locutus est Dominus, dicens: In tribus annis quasi anni mercenarii auferetur gloria Moab super omni populo multo, et relinquetur parvus et modicus, nequaquam multus.
