Isaia 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Emittite agnum dominatori terrae de Petra deserti ad montem filiae Sion.	1 Send them forth, hugging the earth like reptiles, from Sela across the desert, to the mount of daughter Zion.
2 Et erit: sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiae Moab ad vada Arnon.	2 Like flushed birds, like startled nestlings, Are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.
3 Affer consilium, fac iudicium; pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie, absconde fugientes et vagos ne prodas.	3 Offer counsel, take their part: at high noon let your shadow be like the night, To hide the outcasts, to conceal the fugitives.
4 Habitent apud te profugi Moab; esto latibulum eorum a facie vastatoris; finitus est enim exactor, consummata est devastatio, defecit calcator a terra.	4 Let the outcasts of Moab live with you, be their shelter from the destroyer. When the struggle is ended, the ruin complete, and they have done with trampling the land,
5 Et firmabitur in misericordia solium; et sedebit super illud in veritate, in tabernaculo David, iudicans et quaerens iudicium et velociter reddens, quod iustum est.	5 A throne shall be set up in mercy, and on it shall sit in fidelity (in David's tent) A judge upholding right and prompt to do justice.
6 Audivimus superbiam Moab C superbus est valde C superbiam eius et arrogantiam eius et indignationem eius et iactantiam eius non rectam.	6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, how very proud he is, With his haughty, arrogant insolence that his empty words do not match.
7 Idcirco ululabit Moab super Moab, omnes ululabunt; super placentas Cirhareseth lamentantur percussi.	7 Therefore Moab wails for Moab, everywhere they wail; For the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth they sigh, stricken with grief.
8 Quoniam suburbana Hesebon deserta sunt et vinea Sabama; dominos gentium perdiderunt uvae eius; usque ad Iazer pervenerunt, erraverunt in deserto: propagines eius diffusae sunt, transierunt mare.	8 The terraced slopes of Heshbon languish, the vines of Sibmah, Whose clusters overpowered the lords of nations, While they reached as far as Jazer and scattered over the desert, And whose branches spread forth and extended over the sea.
9 Super hoc plorabo in fletu Iazer vineam Sabama; inebriabo te lacrima mea, Hesebon et Eleale, quoniam super vindemiam tuam et super messem tuam clamor cecidit.	9 Therefore I weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I water you with tears, Heshbon and Elealeh; For on your summer fruits and harvests the battle cry has fallen.
10 Et ablata est laetitia et exsultatio de hortis, et in vineis non exsultant neque iubilant. Vinum in torculari non calcabit, qui calcare consueverat; clamor cessavit.	10 From the orchards are taken away joy and gladness, In the vineyards there is no singing, no shout of joy; In the wine presses no one treads grapes, the vintage shout is stilled.
11 Ideo venter meus super Moab quasi cithara fremit, et viscera mea super Cirhareseth.	11 Therefore for Moab my breast moans like a lyre, and my heart for Kir-hareseth.
12 Et erit: cum apparuerit et laboraverit Moab super excelsis, ingredietur ad sancta sua, ut obsecret, et non valebit.	12 When Moab grows weary on the high places, he shall enter his sanctuary to pray, but it shall avail him nothing.
13 Et hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc;	13 This is the word the LORD spoke against Moab in times past.
14 nunc autemloquitur Dominus dicens: “ In tribus annis, quasi anni mercennarii, aufereturgloria Moab cum omni populo multo, et residuum parvum et modicum nequaquamingens erit ”.	14 But now the LORD has spoken: In three years, like those of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be degraded despite all its great multitude; there shall be a remnant, very small and weak.
