Isaiah 16

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

Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain 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 will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the 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 your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday. Hide the outcasts. Do not betray 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 my outcasts dwell with you. As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors 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

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.

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, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.

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

Ah, let not Moab wail; let everyone wail for Moab. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly 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 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.

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 saturate you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has 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

Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing and there will be no jubilant shouting. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.

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

Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my 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

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.

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 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."
