Isaiah 16

1 to send: depart ram to rule land: country/planet from Sela wilderness [to] to(wards) mountain: mount daughter Zion

Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from the crags that are toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

2 and to be like/as bird to wander nest to send: depart to be daughter Moab ford to/for Arnon

For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon.

3 (to come (in): bring *Qk) counsel to make: offer judge to set: make like/as night shadow your in/on/with midst midday to hide to banish to wander not to reveal: reveal

'Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.

4 to sojourn in/on/with you to banish me Moab to be secrecy to/for them from face: before to ruin for to end [the] extortioner to end: finish violence to finish to trample from [the] land: country/planet

Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler.' For the extortion is at an end, spoiling ceaseth, they that trampled down are consumed out of the land;

5 and to establish: establish in/on/with kindness throne and to dwell upon him in/on/with truth: faithful in/on/with tent David to judge and to seek justice and quick righteousness

And a throne is established through mercy, and there sitteth thereon in truth, in the tent of David, one that judgeth, and seeketh justice, and is ready in righteousness.

6 to hear: hear pride Moab proud much pride his and pride his and fury his not right bluster his

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, his ill-founded boastings.

7 to/for so to wail Moab to/for Moab all his to wail to/for raisin bun Kir-hareseth Kir-hareseth to mutter surely stricken

Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail; for the sweet cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, sorely stricken.

8 for field Heshbon to weaken vine Sibmah master nation to smite tendril her till Jazer to touch to go astray wilderness shoot her to leave to pass sea

For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah, whose choice plants did overcome the lords of nations; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.

9 upon so to weep in/on/with weeping Jazer vine Sibmah to quench you tears my Heshbon and Elealeh for upon summer your and upon harvest your shout to fall: fall

Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh; for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the battle shout is fallen.

10 and to gather joy and rejoicing from [the] plantation and in/on/with vineyard not to sing not to shout wine in/on/with wine not to tread [the] to tread shout to cease

And gladness and joy are taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting; no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the vintage shout to cease.

11 upon so belly my to/for Moab like/as lyre to roar and entrails: inner parts my to/for Kir-hareseth Kir-hareseth

Wherefore my heart moaneth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.

12 and to be for to see: see for be weary Moab upon [the] high place and to come (in): come to(wards) sanctuary his to/for to pray and not be able

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab hath wearied himself upon the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail

13 this [the] word which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Moab from the past

This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.

14 and now to speak: speak LORD to/for to say in/on/with three year like/as year hired and to dishonor glory Moab in/on/with all [the] crowd [the] many and remnant little little not mighty

But now the LORD hath spoken, saying: 'Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall wax contemptible for all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and without strength.'
