إشَعْياء 15

١ 1 رُؤْيَا بِشَأْنِ مُوآبَ: حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُخَرَّبُ عَارُ مُوآبَ، حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُدَمَّرُ قِيرُ مُوآبَ.

The burden of Moab. For in the night that Ar of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin; for in the night that Kir of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin.

٢ 2 يَنْطَلِقُ أَهْلُ دِيبُونَ إِلَى الْمَعْبَدِ، وَحَتَّى إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبُكَاءِ؛ يُوَلْوِلُ شَعْبُ مُوآبَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ نَبُو وَمَيْدَبَا بِرُؤُوسٍ وَذُقُونٍ مَحْلُوقَةٍ.

He is gone up to Baith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; upon Nebo, and upon Medeba, Moab howleth; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is shaven.

٣ 3 يَتَلَفَّعُونَ بِالْمُسُوحِ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَيَبْكِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ وَفِي السَّاحَاتِ.

In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one howleth, weeping profusely.

٤ 4 تَتَعَالَى صَرَخَاتُ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلْعَالَةَ حَتَّى تَتَرَدَّدَ أَصْدَاؤُهَا فِي يَاهَصَ، لِذَلِكَ يَنْدُبُ جَيْشُ مُوآبَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ تَرْتَعِدُ فِي صُدُورِهِم.

And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul is faint within him.

٥ 5 قَلْبِي يَصْرُخُ مُتَوَجِّعاً عَلَى مُوآبَ وَعَلَى عُظَمَائِهَا الْهَارِبِينَ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلاثِيَّةٍ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى عَقَبَةِ اللُّوحِيثِ مُوَلْوِلِينَ، وَيَجْهَرُونَ بِصُرَاخِ الْهَزِيمَةِ فِي طَرِيقِ حُورُونَايِمَ.

My heart crieth out for Moab; her fugitives reach unto Zoar, a heifer of three years old; for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

٦ 6 غَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ نِمْرِيمَ، وَجَفَّ الْعُشْبُ عَلَى ضَفَّتَيْهِ، وَذَوَى الْكَلأُ وَبَادَتِ الْخُضْرَةُ

For the Waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the herbage faileth, there is no green thing.

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ يَحْمِلُونَ مَا ادَّخَرُوهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَةٍ وَنَفَائِسَ، وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي الصَّفْصَافِ،

Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

٨ 8 إِذْ يَتَجَاوَبُ صُرَاخُهُمْ عَلَى طُولِ تُخُومِ مُوآبَ، وَتَبْلُغُ وَلْوَلَتُهُمْ إِلَى أَجْلايِمَ وَبِئْرِ إِيلِيمَ.

For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

٩ 9 تَفِيضُ مِيَاهُ دِيمُونَ دَماً لأَنِّي أَزِيدُ مِنْ وَيْلاتِهَا، فَتُهَاجِمُ الأُسُودُ النَّاجِينَ مِنْ مُوآبَ، وَتَفْتَرِسُ الْهَارِبِينَ وَالْمَاكِثِينَ فِيهَا.

For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
