YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Send the
tribute
lambs
to the ruler of the land, from Sela
in the desert
to
the mount of Daughter Zion.
Send ye
a
lamb
`
to '
the ruler of the land, From Selah
in the wilderness,
Unto
the mount of the
daughter of
Zion.
Like
fluttering
birds
pushed
out
of
the
nest, so
are the
daughters of Moab at the
fords of the
Arnon :
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
As
a
wandering
bird,
a
nest cast
out
, Are daughters of Moab ,
`
at '
fords of Arnon .
“Give
us
counsel ;
render
a
decision.
Shelter
us
at
noonday
with
shade
as
dark
as night .
Hide the refugees;
do
not betray
the
one
who
flees
.
Bring
ye
in
counsel ,
do
judgment,
Make
as night thy
shadow
in
the
midst
of
noon,
Hide outcasts,
the wanderer
reveal
not.
Let
my fugitives
stay
with
you;
be a refuge
for
Moab
from the destroyer .”
When
the
oppressor
has
gone
, destruction
has
ceased, and
the oppressors
have
vanished
from
the land ,
Sojourn
in
thee
do
My outcasts,
O
Moab,
Be a secret
hiding-place
to
them,
From the face
of
a
destroyer, For
ceased hath
the
extortioner
, Finished
hath
been
a
destroyer,
Consumed
the treaders
down
out
of
the land .
in loving
devotion
a
throne will
be
established
in the tent of David .
A
judge
seeking justice
and hastening
righteousness will
sit
on
it
in
faithfulness
.
And
established
in kindness
is
the
throne ,
And
`one'
hath
sat
on
it
in truth,
in
the tent of David ,
Judging
and
seeking judgment,
and hasting
righteousness.
We have heard of Moab’s
pomposity
, his exceeding
pride and
conceit
, his overflowing
arrogance .
But
his boasting
is
empty
.
We have heard of the
pride
of
Moab
--
very
proud
, His pride, and
his arrogance ,
and
his wrath,
Not
right
`are'
his
devices
.
Therefore let
Moab wail;
let
them
wail
together
for Moab .
Moan
for the raisin
cakes of Kir-hareseth, you
who
are utterly
stricken
.
Therefore howl
doth
Moab for Moab ,
all
of
it
doth
howl,
For the grape-
cakes of Kir-Hareseth it
meditateth
, Surely
they
are smitten
.
For
the
fields of Heshbon have
withered
, along
with
the grapevines
of Sibmah .
The
rulers
of the
nations have
trampled
its
choicest
vines, which
had
reached
as
far
as
Jazer and
spread
toward
the
desert.
Their
shoots
had
spread out
and
passed over the
sea.
Because
fields of Heshbon languish
, The vine
of Sibmah ,
Lords
of nations did
beat
her
choice
vines, Unto
Jazer they
have
come,
They
have
wandered
in
a
wilderness,
Her
plants
have
spread themselves,
They
have
passed over a
sea.
So
I weep with Jazer for
the vines
of Sibmah ;
I drench
Heshbon and Elealeh with
my
tears.
Triumphant
shouts
have
fallen
silent
over
your
summer fruit
and your
harvest.
Therefore
I weep with the
weeping
of
Jazer ,
The vine
of Sibmah ,
I water
thee
`with'
my
tear,
O
Heshbon and Elealeh ,
For
--
for
thy
summer fruits,
and for
thy
harvest ,
The
shouting
hath
fallen
.
Joy
and gladness
are
removed from the orchard;
no
one
sings
or
shouts
in the
vineyards .
No
one
tramples
the
grapes
in the winepresses;
I have put
an
end
to the
cheering
.
And removed have
been
gladness
and
joy
from the fruitful
field,
And
in vineyards they
sing
not,
nor
shout,
Wine
in the presses
treadeth
not
the
treader,
Shouting
I have caused
to cease
.
Therefore my heart
laments
for Moab like
a harp, my
inmost
being
for Kir- heres
.
Therefore my bowels
for Moab as
a harp do
sound
, And
mine
inward
parts
for Kir- Haresh
.
When Moab appears
on the high place, when
he
wearies
himself
and enters
his sanctuary to pray, it
will
do
him
no
good
.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
when it
hath
been
seen,
That
weary
hath
been
Moab on the high place, And he
hath
come
unto
his sanctuary to pray, And
is
not
able
.
This is the message
that the
LORD
spoke
earlier
concerning
Moab .
This `
is '
the word
that Jehovah
hath
spoken
unto
Moab from
that
time,
And now the
LORD
says
, “
In three years, as a
hired
worker
counts
the
years ,
Moab’s
splendor
will
become
an object
of contempt
, with all her
many
people.
And
those
who
are
left
will
be
few
and feeble.”
And now hath
Jehovah
spoken
, saying,
`
In three years, as years of
an hireling,
Lightly
esteemed
is
the
honour
of Moab
, With all the
great
multitude,
And the
remnant
`is'
little,
small,
not
mighty!'
