Isaiah 16
1 Send ye the lambs to the ruler of the land, From Selah through the wilderness To the mount of the daughter of Zion!
Emitte agnum Domine dominatorem terræ, de Petra deserti ad montem filiæ Sion.
2 For as a wandering bird, As a forthdriven nest, So shall be the daughters of Moab At the fords of Arnon; [[saying, ]]
Et erit: Sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiæ Moab in transcensu Arnon.
3 “Offer counsel; give decision, Make thy shadow at noonday like the darkness of night. Hide the outcasts; Betray not the fugitives.
Ini consilium, coge concilium: pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie. Absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with thee, [[O Zion!]] Be thou to them a covert from the spoiler! For the extortion is at an end, The spoiling ceaseth. The oppressors are consumed from 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 Then shall your throne be established through mercy, And upon it shall sit in the house of David A judge searching for justice, and prompt in equity.”
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 beard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; His haughtiness, and his pride, and his insolence, His vain boastings.”
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: superbia eius et arrogantia eius, et indignatio eius plusquam fortitudo eius.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab; Every one shall howl; For the ruins of Kir-hares shall ye mourn, In deep affliction.
Idcirco ululabit Moab ad Moab, universus ululabit: his, qui lætantur super muros cocti lateris, loquimini plagas suas.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, The lords of the nations break down the choicest shoots of the vine of Sibmah, They reached even to Jazer; they wandered into the desert; Her branches were spread out; they crossed 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 I will weep, like Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealah, For upon thy summer fruits, and thy harvest, the war-shout is 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 Gladness and joy are driven from the fruitful field, And in the vineyards is no singing nor shouting; The treaders tread out no wine in their vats; I have made the vintage-shouting to cease.
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 shall my bowels sound like a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-hares.
Super hoc venter meus ad Moab quasi cithara sonabit, et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.
12 And it shall come to pass that though Moab present himself, Though he weary himself upon his high places, And go up to his sanctuary to pray, Yet shall he not prevail.
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 Jehovah spake concerning Moab of old.
Hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc:
14 But now saith Jehovah: Within three years, like the years of a hireling, The glory of Moab shall be put to shame, With all his great multitude; And the remnant shall be very small, and without strength.
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.
