Isaia 16

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Emittite agnum dominatori terrae de Petra deserti ad montem filiae Sion.	1 O Lord, send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Et erit: sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiae Moab ad vada Arnon.	2 And this shall be: like a bird fleeing away, and like fledglings flying from the nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the passage of Arnon.
3 Affer consilium, fac iudicium; pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie, absconde fugientes et vagos ne prodas.	3 Form a plan. Call a council. Let your shadow be as if it were night, even at midday. Conceal the fugitives, and do not betray the wanderers.
4 Habitent apud te profugi Moab; esto latibulum eorum a facie vastatoris; finitus est enim exactor, consummata est devastatio, defecit calcator a terra.	4 My fugitives will live with you. Become a hiding place, O Moab, from the face of the destroyer. For the dust is at its end; the miserable one has been consumed. He who trampled the earth has failed.
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 And a throne will be prepared in mercy, and One shall sit upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment, and quickly repaying what is just.
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; he is very proud. His pride and his arrogance and his indignation is more than his strength.
7 Idcirco ululabit Moab super Moab, omnes ululabunt; super placentas Cirhareseth lamentantur percussi.	7 For this reason, Moab will wail to Moab; each one will wail. Speak of their wounds to those who rejoice upon the brick walls.
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 For the suburbs of Heshbon are deserted, and the lords of the Gentiles have cut down the vineyard of Sibmah. Its vines have arrived even at Jazer. They have wandered in the desert. Its seedlings have been abandoned. They have crossed 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 I will weep with the tears of Jazer over this, the vineyard of Sibmah. I will inebriate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh! For the sound of those who trample has rushed over your vintage and over your harvest.
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 And so, rejoicing and exultation will be taken away from Carmel, and there will be no jubilation or exultation in the vineyards. He who was accustomed to tread will not tread out the wine in the winepress. I have taken away the sound of those who tread.
11 Ideo venter meus super Moab quasi cithara fremit, et viscera mea super Cirhareseth.	11 Over this, my heart will resonate like a harp for Moab, and my inner most being for the brick wall.
12 Et erit: cum apparuerit et laboraverit Moab super excelsis, ingredietur ad sancta sua, ut obsecret, et non valebit.	12 And this shall be: when it is seen that Moab has struggled upon his high places, he will enter his holy places to pray, but he will not prevail.
13 Et hoc verbum, quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc;	13 This is the word that the Lord has spoken to Moab concerning that time.
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 And now the Lord has spoken, saying: In three years, like the years of a hired hand, the glory of Moab concerning the entire multitude of the people will be taken away, and what is left behind will be small and weak and not so numerous.
