< Isaiah 16 >

1 Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from the crags that are toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Mwet Moab su muta in acn mwesis in siti Sela, elos supwala soko sheep fusr in mwe lung nu sin mwet se su leum in acn Jerusalem.
2 For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.
Elos muta soano pe Infacl Arnon, ac foroht forma oana won su lillilyak liki ahng lalos.
3 'Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.
Elos fahk nu sin mwet Judah, “Fahk nu sesr lah mea kut ac oru. Loangekutla oana soko sak su luliya acn uh in pacl fol ke infulwen len, ac lela kut in mongla ye lulin karinginyuk lowos. Kut mwet kakaing. Wikinkutla yen wangin mwet ac konekutyak we.
4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler.' For the extortion is at an end, spoiling ceaseth, they that trampled down are consumed out of the land;
Lela kut in muta in acn suwos. Molikutla liki mwet su kena unikutla.” (Mwe akkeok ac kunausten ac fah tui, ac mwet ma kunausla facl se inge ac fah som.
5 And a throne is established through mercy, and there sitteth thereon in truth, in the tent of David, one that judgeth, and seeketh justice, and is ready in righteousness.
In pacl sacn, sie sin fwilin tulik natul David ac fah tokosra, ac el ac fah kol mwet uh ke inse pwaye ac ke lungse. El ac fah sa na in oru ma pwaye, ac el ac liye tuh nununku suwohs in orek.)
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, his ill-founded boastings.
Mwet Judah elos fahk, “Kut lohng tari ke luman inse fulat lun mwet Moab uh. Kut etu lah elos enum ac ngetnget lucng, tusruktu konkin lalos uh wangin sripa.”
7 Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail; for the sweet cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, sorely stricken.
Mwet Moab ac fah tung ke sripen mwe keok nu selos. Elos nukewa ac fah tung ke elos ac esamak mongo yuyu ma elos tuh kang in acn Kir Heres. Ac fah wanginla finsrak lalos.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah, whose choice plants did overcome the lords of nations; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.
Ima ma apkuran nu Heshbon ac ima in grape lun acn Sibmah kunausyukla. Wain ke ima in grape inge pa tuh oru mwet leum lun mutunfaclu sruhila. Sie pacl ah, lah ke ima inge lahelik nwe sun acn Jazer, ac som nu layen kutulap in acn mwesis, oayapa nu roto layeno liki Meoa Misa.
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh; for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the battle shout is fallen.
Inge nga tungi ima lun acn Sibmah oana ke nga tungi acn Jazer. Sroninmutuk sororla ke acn Heshbon ac Elealeh, mweyen wangin kosrani in oru mwet we in engan.
10 And gladness and joy are taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting; no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease.
Wanginla mwet engan pacl inge in ima wowo uh. Wanginla mwet sasa, ku on in ima in grape lalos. Wangin mwet fut grape mwe orek wain. Pusren sasa ke engan wanginla.
11 Wherefore my heart moaneth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.
Nga sasao ke acn Moab, ac yohk asor luk ke acn Kir Heres.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab hath wearied himself upon the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail
Mwet Moab elos arulana totola in som nu fineol ac nu ke acn in alu lalos in pre, a wangin sripen ma elos oru inge.
13 This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke acn Moab in pacl meet ah.
14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying: 'Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall wax contemptible for all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and without strength.'
Na inge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oana ke sie mwet orekma ke mwe moul el tari ke safla yac in orekma lal uh, ouinge ke yac tolu na fal, kasrup lulap lun Moab ac wanginla. Inmasrlon mwet puspis we, mwet na pu fah moulla, ac elos ac fah arulana munas.”
