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

VULC ¹ [Emitte agnum, Domine, dominatorem terræ,
de petra deserti
ad montem filiæ Sion.

KJV ² For 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.

VULC ² Et erit : sicut avis fugiens,
et pulli de nido avolantes,
sic erunt filiæ Moab
in transcensu Arnon.

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

VULC ³ Ini consilium,
coge concilium ;
pone quasi noctem umbram tuam
in meridie ;
absconde fugientes, et vagos ne prodas.

KJV ⁴ Let 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.

VULC ⁴ Habitabunt apud te profugi mei ;
Moab, esto latibulum eorum a facie vastatoris :
finitus est enim pulvis, consummatus est miser,
defecit qui conculcabat terram.

KJV ⁵ And 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.

VULC ⁵ Et præparabitur in misericordia solium,
et sedebit super illud in veritate
in tabernaculo David,
judicans et quærens judicium,
et velociter reddens quod justum est.

KJV ⁶ We 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.

VULC ⁶ Audivimus superbiam Moab :
superbus est valde ;
superbia ejus, et arrogantia ejus, et indignatio ejus
plus quam fortitudo ejus.

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

VULC ⁷ Idcirco ululabit Moab ad Moab ;
universus ululabit :
his qui lætantur super muros cocti lateris,
loquimini plagas suas.

KJV ⁸ For 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.

VULC ⁸ Quoniam suburbana Hesebon deserta sunt,
et vineam Sabama
domini gentium exciderunt :
flagella ejus usque ad Jazer pervenerunt,
erraverunt in deserto ;
propagines ejus relictæ sunt,
transierunt mare.

KJV ⁹ Therefore 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.

VULC ⁹ Super hoc plorabo in fletu Jazer
vineam Sabama ;
inebriabo te lacrima mea,
Hesebon et Eleale,
quoniam super vindemiam tuam et super messem tuam
vox calcantium irruit.

KJV ¹⁰ And 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Et auferetur lætitia et exsultatio de Carmelo,
et in vineis non exsultabit neque jubilabit.
Vinum in torculari non calcabit qui calcare consueverat ;
vocem calcantium abstuli.

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

VULC ¹¹ Super hoc venter meus ad Moab
quasi cithara sonabit,
et viscera mea ad murum cocti lateris.

KJV ¹² And 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.

VULC ¹² Et erit : cum apparuerit quod laboravit Moab
super excelsis suis,
ingredietur ad sancta sua ut obsecret,
et non valebit.]

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

VULC ¹³ Hoc verbum quod locutus est Dominus ad Moab ex tunc.

KJV ¹⁴ But 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.

VULC ¹⁴ Et nunc locutus est Dominus, dicens : In tribus annis, quasi anni mercenarii, auferetur gloria Moab super omni populo multo, et relinquetur parvus et modicus, nequaquam multus.
