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.
Emitte agnum Domine dominatorem terrae, de Petra deserti ad montem filiae Sion.
2 And it has come to pass, As a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
Et erit: Sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiae Moab in transcensu Arnon.
3 Bring in counsel, do judgment, Make your shadow as night in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, do not reveal the wanderer.
Ini consilium, coge concilium: pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie. absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.
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.
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 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.
Et praeparabitur in misericordia solium, et sedebit super illud in veritate in tabernaculo David, iudicans et quaerens iudicium, et velociter reddens quod iustum est.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab—very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath—his boastings [are] not right.
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: superbia eius et arrogantia eius, et indignatio eius plusquam fortitudo eius.
7 Therefore Moab howls for Moab, all of it howls, It meditates for the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth, They are surely struck.
Idcirco ululabit Moab ad Moab, universus ululabit: his, qui laetantur super muros cocti lateris, loquimini plagas suas.
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.
Quoniam suburbana Hesebon deserta sunt, et vineam Sabama domini Gentium exciderunt: flagella eius usque ad Iazer pervenerunt: erraverunt in deserto, propagines eius relictae sunt, transierunt mare.
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.
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 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.
Et auferetur laetitia 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 bowels sound as a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
Super hoc venter meus ad Moab quasi cithara sonabit, et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.
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.
Et erit: cum apparuerit quod laboravit Moab super excelsis suis, ingredietur ad sancta sua ut obsecret, et non valebit.
13 This [is] the word that YHWH has spoken to Moab from that time,
Hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc:
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!”
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.
