Isaiah 16:2-4
King James Version
Isaiah 16:2-4
King James Version
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.
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.
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.

English Standard Version
2 Like fleeing birds,
like a scattered nest,
so are the daughters of Moab
at (A)the fords of the Arnon.
3 “Give counsel;
grant justice;
(B)make your shade like night
at the height of noon;
shelter the outcasts;
do not reveal the fugitive;
4 let (C)the outcasts of Moab
sojourn among you;
be a shelter to them[a]
from the destroyer.
When the oppressor is no more,
and destruction has ceased,
and he who tramples underfoot has vanished from the land,

Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
2 Ca nişte păsări alungate,
izgonite din cuib,
aşa sunt fiicele Moabului
la vadurile Arnonului.
3 «Dă-ne un sfat!
Hotărăşte ceva!
Întinde-ţi umbra în mijlocul zilei
şi prefă-o în noapte!
Ascunde-i pe cei izgoniţi
şi nu-i trăda pe fugari!
4 Primeşte-i pe deportaţii Moabului
să locuiască cu tine!
Fii un refugiu pentru ei
în faţa nimicitorului!»
Când asupritorul va înceta,
când nimicirea va lua sfârşit
şi prădătorul va lăsa ţara în pace,
