< Isaiah 16 >

1 Send a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, To the mountain 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 And it has come to pass, As a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
Elos muta soano pe Infacl Arnon, ac foroht forma oana won su lillilyak liki ahng lalos.
3 Bring in counsel, do judgment, Make your shadow as night in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, do not reveal the wanderer.
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 My outcasts sojourn in you, O Moab, Be a secret hiding place for them, From the face of a destroyer, For the extortioner has ceased, Devastation has been finished, The tramplers 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 the throne is established in kindness, And [One] has sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hastening 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—very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath—his boastings [are] not right.
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 Moab howls for Moab, all of it howls, It meditates for the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth, They are surely struck.
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 Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations beat her choice vines, They have come to Jazer, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a 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 weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water you [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For—for your summer fruits, and for your harvest, The shouting has 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 have been removed from the fruitful field, And they do not sing in vineyards, nor shout, The treader does not tread wine in the presses, I have caused shouting 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 Therefore my bowels sound as a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
Nga sasao ke acn Moab, ac yohk asor luk ke acn Kir Heres.
12 And it has come to pass, when it has been seen, That Moab has been weary on the high place, And he has come to his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
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 YHWH has spoken to Moab from that time,
Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke acn Moab in pacl meet ah.
14 And now YHWH has spoken, saying, “In three years, as years of a hired worker, The glory of Moab is lightly esteemed, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!”
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.”
