Isaiah 16

1Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

שִׁלְחוּ־כַר מֹשֵׁל־אֶרֶץ מִסֶּלַע מִדְבָּרָה אֶל־הַר בַּת־צִיֹּון׃ (2470)

2For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

וְהָיָה כְעֹוף־נֹודֵד קֵן מְשֻׁלָּח תִּהְיֶינָה בְּנֹות מֹואָב מַעְבָּרֹת לְאַרְנֹון׃ (2830)

3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

[הָבִיאוּ כ] (הָבִיאִי ק) עֵצָה עֲשׂוּ פְלִילָה שִׁיתִי כַלַּיִל צִלֵּךְ בְּתֹוךְ צָהֳרָיִם סַתְּרִי נִדָּחִים נֹדֵד אַל־תְּגַלִּי׃ (3905)

4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

יָגוּרוּ בָךְ נִדָּחַי מֹואָב הֱוִי־סֵתֶר לָמֹו מִפְּנֵי שֹׁודֵד כִּי־אָפֵס הַמֵּץ כָּלָה שֹׁד תַּמּוּ רֹמֵס מִן־הָאָרֶץ׃ (3416)

5And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

וְהוּכַן בַּחֶסֶד כִּסֵּא וְיָשַׁב עָלָיו בֶּאֱמֶת בְּאֹהֶל דָּוִד שֹׁפֵט וְדֹרֵשׁ מִשְׁפָּט וּמְהִר צֶדֶק׃ (2944)

6We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

שָׁמַעְנוּ גְאֹון־מֹואָב גֵּא מְאֹד גַּאֲוָתֹו וּגְאֹונֹו וְעֶבְרָתֹו לֹא־כֵן בַּדָּיו׃ (1919)

7Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

לָכֵן יְיֵלִיל מֹואָב לְמֹואָב כֻּלֹּה יְיֵלִיל לַאֲשִׁישֵׁי קִיר־חֲרֶשֶׂת תֶּהְגּוּ אַךְ־נְכָאִים׃ (2888)

8For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

כִּי שַׁדְמֹות חֶשְׁבֹּון אֻמְלָל גֶּפֶן שִׂבְמָה בַּעֲלֵי גֹויִם הָלְמוּ שְׂרוּקֶּיהָ עַד־יַעְזֵר נָגָעוּ תָּעוּ מִדְבָּר שְׁלֻחֹותֶיהָ נִטְּשׁוּ עָבְרוּ יָם׃ (5264)

9Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

עַל־כֵּן אֶבְכֶּה בִּבְכִי יַעְזֵר גֶּפֶן שִׂבְמָה אֲרַיָּוֶךְ דִּמְעָתִי חֶשְׁבֹּון וְאֶלְעָלֵה כִּי עַל־קֵיצֵךְ וְעַל־קְצִירֵךְ הֵידָד נָפָל׃ (3327)

10And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

וְנֶאֱסַף שִׂמְחָה וָגִיל מִן־הַכַּרְמֶל וּבַכְּרָמִים לֹא־יְרֻנָּן לֹא יְרֹעָע יַיִן בַּיְקָבִים לֹא־יִדְרֹךְ הַדֹּרֵךְ הֵידָד הִשְׁבַּתִּי׃ (3492)

11Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

עַל־כֵּן מֵעַי לְמֹואָב כַּכִּנֹּור יֶהֱמוּ וְקִרְבִּי לְקִיר חָרֶשׂ׃ (1892)

12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

וְהָיָה כִי־נִרְאָה כִּי־נִלְאָה מֹואָב עַל־הַבָּמָה וּבָא אֶל־מִקְדָּשֹׁו לְהִתְפַּלֵּל וְלֹא יוּכָל׃ (1797)

13This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹואָב מֵאָז׃ (1084)
