1Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 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. 3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. 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. 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.
6ηκουϲαμεν την ϋβριν μωαβʼ · ϋβριϲτηϲ ϲφοδρα την ϋπερηφανιαν εξηρα · ουχ ουτωϲ η μαντια ϲου 7ουχ ουτωϲ · ολολυξι μωαβʼ · εν γαρ τη μωαβʼειτιδι · απαντεϲ ολολυξουϲιν · τοιϲ κατοικουϲιν δεϲεθʼ · μελετηϲειϲ · και ουκ εντραπηϲη 8τα πεδια εϲεβω · πενθηϲει αμπελοϲ εβαμα · καταπινοντεϲ τα εθνη · καταπατηϲετε ταϲ αμπελουϲ αυτηϲ εωϲ ϊαζηρʼ · ου μη ϲυναψητε ˙ επλανηθητε την ερημο · οι απεϲταλμενοι ενκατελιφθηϲα · διεβηϲαν γαρ την ερημον : 9δια τουτο κλαυϲομαι ωϲ τον κλαυθμον ϊαζηρʼ · αμελον ϲεβαμα · τα δενδρα ϲου κατελαβεν εϲεβω · και ελαληϲεν αλη ετι επι τω θεριϲμω · και επι τω τρυγητω ϲου καταπατηϲω · και παντα πεϲουνται · 10και αρθηϲεται ευφροϲυνη και αγαλιαμα · εκ των αμπελωνων ϲου · και εν τοιϲ αμπελωϲιν ϲου · ου μη ευφρανθηϲονται · και ου μη πατηϲουϲιν οινον . ειϲ τα ϋποληνια · πεπαυτε γαρ ·
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. 7Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken. 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. 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. 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.
11και τα εντοϲ μου · ωϲει τιχοϲ ο ενεκενιϲαϲ · 12και εϲται ειϲ το εντραπηναι ϲε · οτι εκοπιαϲεν μωαβʼ επι τοιϲ βωμοιϲ · και ειϲελευϲεται ειϲ τα χιροποιητα αυτηϲ · ωϲτε προϲευξαϲθαι · και ου μη δυνηται εξελεϲθαι αυτον · 13τοτο το ρημα ο ελαληϲεν κϲ επι μωαβʼ οποτε και ελαληϲεν · 14και νυν λεγω εν τριϲιν ετεϲι ετων μιϲθωτου · ατιμαϲθηϲεται η δοξα μωαβʼ εν παντι τω πλουτω τω πλολω · και καταλιφθηϲεται ολιγοϲτοϲ ·
11Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh. 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. 13This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. 14But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
