TOJB2011 ▾Yeshayah ▾16 ▾Yeshayah 161Send ye the lamb to the Moshel-Eretz, from Sela by way of the midbar, unto Har Bat Tziyon.2For it shall be, that, as an oph noded (wandering bird) cast out of the ken (nest) , so the Banot Moav shall be at the fords of the Arnon.3Give us etzah (counsel, advice) ; make pelilah (decision, justice) ; cast thy tzel as the lailah in the midst of tzahorayim; hide the fugitives; betray not him that is refugee.4Let fugitives of Moav dwell with thee; be thou a seter (shelter, hiding place) to them from before the shoded (destroyer) ; for the oppressor is at an end, shod (destruction) ceaseth, the aggressors are consumed out of HaAretz.5And in chesed shall the kisse be established; and sitting upon it in emes in the Ohel Dovid, a Shofet seeking mishpat, and hastening tzedek.6We have heard of the ga'on Moav; he is very proud; even of his ga'avah (haughtiness) , and his ga'on, and his insolence; but his boasts shall not be so.7Therefore shall Moav wail for Moav, everyone shall wail; for the raisin cakes of Kir Chareset shall ye mourn; surely as they who grieve.8For the fields of Cheshbon languish, and the gefen of Sivmah; Ba'alei Goyim have broken down the choicest vines thereof, they reached even unto Yazer, they wandered to the midbar; her shoots are stretched out, they are gone over the yam.9Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Yazer the gefen of Sivmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Cheshbon, and Elealeh; for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy katzir has fallen away.10And simchah is taken away, and gladness out of the carmel (fruitful field) , and in the kramim (vineyards) there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting; the treaders shall tread out no yayin in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.11Therefore my heart shall lament like a kinnor (harp) for Moav, and mine inmost being for Kir-Charesh.12And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moav is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his mikdash (sanctuary) to pray; but he shall not prevail.13This is the Davar that Hashem hath spoken earlier concerning Moav.14But now Hashem hath spoken, saying, Within shalosh shanim, as the shenei sachir (years of a hired man) , and the kavod Moav shall be degraded, with all that hamon harav (great multitude) ; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.Yeshayah 15Yeshayah 17
