Yesaya 15
1 Uthenga wonena za Mowabu: Popeza kuti mu usiku umodzi wokha mzinda wa Ari wa ku Mowabu wawonongedwa, wawonongedwa pa usiku umodzi wokha. Mzinda wa Kiri wawonongedwa, wawonongedwa pa usiku umodzi wokha.
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, it is silent: because the wall of Moab is destroyed in the night, it is silent.
2 Anthu a ku Diboni akupita ku nyumba ya milungu yawo, akupita ku malo awo achipembedzo kukalira; anthu a ku Mowabu akulirira mofuwula mzinda wa Nebo ndi wa Medeba. Mutu uliwonse wametedwa mpala, ndipo ndevu zonse zametedwa.
The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places to mourn over Nabo, and over Medaba, Moab hath howled: ton all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.
3 Mʼmisewu akuvala ziguduli; pa madenga ndi mʼmabwalo aliyense akulira mofuwula, misozi ili pupupu.
In their streets they are girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets all shall howl and come down weeping.
4 Anthu a ku Hesiboni ndi Eleali akulira mofuwula, mawu awo akumveka mpaka ku Yahazi. Kotero asilikali a ku Mowabu akulira mofuwula, ndipo ataya mtima.
Hesebon shall cry, and Eleale, their voice is heard even to Jasa. For this shall the well appointed men of Moab howl, his soul shall howl to itself.
5 Inenso ndikulirira Mowabu; chifukwa othawa nkhondo ake akupita akulira ku chikweza cha Luluti mpaka ku Zowari ndi Egilati-Selisiya akupita akulira ku chikweza cha Luhiti, Akulira mosweka mtima pa njira yopita ku Horonaimu; akulira mosweka mtima chifukwa cha chiwonongeko chawo.
My heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof shall flee unto Segor a heifer of three years old: for by the ascent of Luith they shall go up weeping: and in the way of Oronaim they shall lift up a cry of destruction.
6 Madzi a ku Nimurimu aphwa ndipo udzu wauma; zomera zawonongeka ndipo palibe chomera chobiriwira chatsala.
For the waters of Nemrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away, the spring is faded, all the greenness is perished.
7 Kotero kuti chuma chomwe anachipeza ndi kuchisunga, achitenga kuti awoloke nacho chigwembe cha Misondozi.
According to the greatness of their work, is their visitation also: they shall lead them to the torrent of the willows.
8 Kulira kwawo kukumveka mʼdziko lonse la Mowabu; kulira kwawo kosweka mtima kukumveka mpaka ku Egilaimu ndi Beeri-Elimu.
For the cry is gone round about the border of Moab: the howling thereof unto Gallim, and unto the well of Elim the cry thereof.
9 Madzi a ku Dimoni afiira ndi magazi, komabe ndidzabweretsa zina zambiri pa Dimoni, mkango woti udzagwire aliyense othawa mu Mowabu ndi aliyense wotsala mʼdzikomo.
For the waters of Dibon are filled with blood: for I will bring more upon Dibon: the lion upon them that shall flee of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
