¹Pošljite jagnje gospodovalcu dežele od Sele tja po puščavi do gore hčere sionske.

¹Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

²In zgodi se, da bodo hčere moabske ob brodih arnonskih kakor ptice tavajoče, kakor razpuščeno gnezdo.

²For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.

³Posvetuj se, odloči se; senco svojo, Sion, naredi temno kakor noč opoldne; skrij pregnance, tavajočega ne izdaj!

³Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!

⁴Bivajo naj pri tebi pregnanci moji, skrivališče bodi Moabu pred pokončevalcem! Kajti stiskalcu je določen konec, pokončevanje bo nehalo, zatiralci izginejo z zemlje.

⁴Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.

⁵In prestol se utrdi po milosti, in na njem bo sedel v resnici v šatoru Davidovem on, ki bo sodil in iskal pravice in bo vrlo izvrševal pravičnost.

⁵A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

⁶Slišali smo o prevzetnosti Moabovi, da je silno ošaben, o napuhu njegovem in oholosti njegovi in togoti njegovi; bahanje njegovo je ničevo.

⁶We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.

⁷Zato bo tulil Moab nad Moabom, vsak bo tulil. Za grozdne gruče kir-haresetske boste zdihovali, zelo pobiti.

⁷Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.

⁸Kajti njive hesbonske so zvenile, tudi trta sibemska; narodov gospodje so razbili prelepe rozge njene: segale so tja do Jazerja, vile so se po puščavi, mladike njene so se razširjale, šle čez morje.

⁸For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.

⁹Zato jokam z jokom Jazerjevim za trto sibemsko, rosim te s solzami svojimi, o Hesbon in Eleale; kajti ob spravljanju letnih sadežev tvojih in ob trgatvi tvoji te je doletelo bojno vpitje.

⁹Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.

¹⁰In vzeto je veselje in radovanje z rodovitnega polja, in v vinogradih ne pojo, ni veselega vpitja, vina v kadi ne masti tlačilec; petju v tlačilnici sem naredil konec.

¹⁰Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.

¹¹Zato zveni kakor harfa osrčje moje zavoljo Moaba in moj drob zaradi Kir-heresa.

¹¹Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.

¹²In zgodi se, ko se Moab prikaže, ko se bo trudil na mališki višavi in stopi v svetišče svoje, da bi molil, da nič ne opravi.

¹²It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.

¹³To je beseda, ki jo je GOSPOD takrat govoril o Moabu.Sedaj pa govori GOSPOD takole: V treh letih, kakor so leta najemnikova, pride slava Moabova v nečast z vso svojo veliko množico vred; in ostanek bode jako majhen in neznaten.

¹³This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab in time past.

¹⁴Sedaj pa govori GOSPOD takole: V treh letih, kakor so leta najemnikova, pride slava Moabova v nečast z vso svojo veliko množico vred; in ostanek bode jako majhen in neznaten.

¹⁴But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
