Isaiah 16
1 Send ye a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Emitte agnum Domine dominatorem terrae, de Petra deserti ad montem filiae Sion.
2 And it hath come to pass, As a wandering bird, a nest cast out, 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 ye in counsel, do judgment, Make as night thy shadow in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, the wanderer reveal not.
Ini consilium, coge concilium: pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie. absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.
4 Sojourn in thee do My outcasts, O Moab, Be a secret hiding-place to them, From the face of a destroyer, For ceased hath the extortioner, Finished hath been a destroyer, Consumed the treaders down 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 established in kindness is the throne, And [one] hath sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hasting 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, Not right [are] his devices.
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: superbia eius et arrogantia eius, et indignatio eius plusquam fortitudo eius.
7 Therefore howl doth Moab for Moab, all of it doth howl, For the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth it meditateth, Surely they are smitten.
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 did beat her choice vines, Unto Jazer they have come, 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 thee [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For — for thy summer fruits, and for thy harvest, The shouting hath 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 removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused 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 for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
Super hoc venter meus ad Moab quasi cithara sonabit, et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.
12 And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto 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 Jehovah hath spoken unto Moab from that time,
Hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc:
14 And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, 'In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, 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.
