Isaiæ 16

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Emitte agnum, Domine, dominatorem terræ, de petra deserti ad montem filiæ Sion.	1 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela by the desert, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion,
2 Et erit : sicut avis fugiens, et pulli de nido avolantes, sic erunt filiæ Moab in transcensu Arnon.	2 for soon, like a fluttered bird, like nestlings cast out, wil be the women of Moab at the fords of theArnon.
3 Ini consilium, coge concilium ; pone quasi noctem umbram tuam in meridie ; absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.	3 Hold a council, make a decision. At noon spread your shadow as if it were night. Hide those who havebeen driven out, do not betray the fugitive,
4 Habitabunt apud te profugi mei ; Moab, esto latibulum eorum a facie vastatoris : finitus est enim pulvis, consummatus est miser, defecit qui conculcabat terram.	4 let those who have been driven out of Moab come and live with you; be their refuge in the face of thedevastator. Once the oppression is past, and the devastation has stopped and those now trampling on thecountry have gone away,
5 Et præparabitur in misericordia solium, et sedebit super illud in veritate in tabernaculo David, judicans et quærens judicium, et velociter reddens quod justum est.	5 the throne wil be made secure in faithful love and on it wil sit in constancy within the tent of David, ajudge seeking fair judgement and pursuing uprightness.
6 Audivimus superbiam Moab : superbus est valde ; superbia ejus, et arrogantia ejus, et indignatio ejus plus quam fortitudo ejus.	6 We have heard about Moab's pride, about how very proud it is, about its arrogance, its pride, its rage,its bravado, which wil come to nothing!
7 Idcirco ululabit Moab ad Moab ; universus ululabit : his qui lætantur super muros cocti lateris, loquimini plagas suas.	7 And so Moab is wailing for Moab, wailing, every one of them. For the raisin cakes of Kir-Hareseth youmourn, stricken with grief.
8 Quoniam suburbana Hesebon deserta sunt, et vineam Sabama domini gentium exciderunt : flagella ejus usque ad Jazer pervenerunt, erraverunt in deserto ; propagines ejus relictæ sunt, transierunt mare.	8 For Heshbon's vineyards are withering, the vine of Sibmah whose red grapes used to overcome theoverlords of the nations. It used to reach to Jazer, had wound its way into the desert, its shoots grew sonumerous they spread across the sea.
9 Super hoc plorabo in fletu Jazer vineam Sabama ; inebriabo de lacrima mea, Hesebon et Eleale, quoniam super vindemiam tuam et super messem tuam vox calcantium irruit.	9 And so I weep, as Jazer weeps, for the vine of Sibmah. I water you with my tears, Heshbon andElealeh. For over your harvest and vintage the cheering has died away;
10 Et auferetur lætitia et exsultatio de Carmelo, et in vineis non exsultabit neque jubilabit. Vinum in torculari non calcabit qui calcare consueverat ; vocem calcantium abstuli.	10 joy and gladness have vanished from the orchards. No more revelry in the vineyards, no more happyshouting; no more the treader treads wine in the presses, the cheering has ceased.
11 Super hoc venter meus ad Moab quasi cithara sonabit, et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.	11 That is why my whole being quivers like harp strings for Moab, my very heart, for Kir-Heres.
12 Et erit : cum apparuerit quod laboravit Moab super excelsis suis, ingredietur ad sancta sua ut obsecret, et non valebit.	12 Moab will be seen, wearing itself out on the high places and going to its temple to pray, but it wilaccomplish nothing.
13 Hoc verbum quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc.	13 Such was the word which Yahweh spoke about Moab in the past.
14 Et nunc locutus est Dominus, dicens : In tribus annis, quasi anni mercenarii, auferetur gloria Moab super omni populo multo, et relinquetur parvus et modicus, nequaquam multus.	14 And now Yahweh has spoken in these terms, 'Within three years, as a hired worker reckons them, the glory of Moab wil be humbled, despite its teeming population. It wil be reduced to nothing, an insignificantremnant.'
