ธิดาแห่งโมอับมุ่งคอยอาณาจักรของพระคริสต์
16:1 เจ้าทั้งหลายจงส่งลูกแกะตัวนี้ไปยังผู้ปกครองแห่งแผ่นดินจากเส-ลาไปถึงถิ่นทุรกันดาร ไปยังภูเขาของธิดาแห่งศิโยน
Women of Moab Look Forward to the Kingdom
16:1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
16:2 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.
16:3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
16:4 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.
16:5 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.
16:6 เราทั้งหลายได้ยินถึงความเย่อหยิ่งของโมอับว่า เขาเย่อหยิ่งมาก กระทั่งถึงความจองหองของเขา และความเย่อหยิ่งของเขา และความโกรธของเขา แต่คำโกหกทั้งหลายของเขาจะไม่เป็นอย่างนั้น
Pride of Moab Destroyed
16:6 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.
16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.
16:8 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.
16:9 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.
16:10 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.
16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
16:12 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.
16:13 นี่เป็นพระวจนะที่พระเยโฮวาห์ตรัสเกี่ยวกับโมอับตั้งแต่เวลานั้นเป็นต้นมา
The Prophecy against the Literal Moab
16:13 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.
16:14 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.
