< Isaiah 16 >

1 Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to 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 For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
Elos muta soano pe Infacl Arnon, ac foroht forma oana won su lillilyak liki ahng lalos.
3 Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Do not betray 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 my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors 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 A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do 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, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
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 will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly 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 with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots 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 you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout 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 Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
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 heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
Nga sasao ke acn Moab, ac yohk asor luk ke acn Kir Heres.
12 It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will 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 has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
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.”
