Of Moab. The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2 Moab koehnah te koep om mahpawh. Heshbon ah anih te a moeh tih boethae loh a pongpa thil. Madmen khaw namtom lamloh saii uh sih. Namah hnukah cunghang loh m'paan daengah na kuemsuem bitni.
The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3 Horonaim lamkah rhoelrhanah pangngawlnah ol neh pocinah tanglue aih te.
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4 Moab te bawt vetih a pang te a canoi loh a yaak ni.
Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Luhith kah Luhith tangkham te a rhah a rhah doeah luei. Horonaim singling ah khaw rhal taengkah pocinah pangngawlnah te a yaak uh.
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Rhaelrham lamtah na hinglu ham poenghal puei laeh. Khosoek kah koknai bangla na om coeng.
Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Na bibi neh na thakvoh dongah na pangtung dongah namah khaw n'tuuk pawn ni. Khemosh kah a khosoih rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek vangsawn la rhenten a khuen ni.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 Khopuei tom ah aka rhoelrhak te ha pawk vetih khopuei te loeih mahpawh. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah tuikol loh moelh vetih tlangkol tim ni.
The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9 Moab te ding sak ham a phae pae lamtah khuen laeh saeh. A khopuei te imsuep la om vetih a khuiah khosa om mahpawh.
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10 Vuelvaeknah neh BOEIPA kah bitat aka saii tah thae a phoei coeng tih ak thii lamloh a cunghang aka hloh khaw thae a phoei thil.
“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk tangloeng he. Hlang aka khuum rhoek te a taengla ka tueih vetih anih a khuum uh ni. A am te a khawk pah vetih a khap a thaeh pah ni.
Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13 A pangtungnah Bethel kah Israel imkhui a yah bangla Khemosh kongah Moab te yak ni.
Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 Balae tih, “Kaimih kah hlangrhalh rhoek neh tatthai hlang caemtloek la om,” na ti uh?
“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
15 Moab a rhoelrhak vetih a khopuei khuen ni. A tongpang hlangrhoei rhoek te a maeh la suntla uh ni. A ming dongah caempuei BOEIPA manghai kah olphong ni.
Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
16 Moab rhainah ha pawk ham yoei coeng tih a boethae loh bahoeng loe ni.
“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 A kaepvai boeih neh a ming aka ming boeih loh anih te a suem uh tih, “Balae tih sarhi caitueng, boeimang cungkui khaw a paep,” ti uh laeh.
All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’

“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Longpuei taengah pai lamtah Aroer khosa rhoek ke tawt ne. Aka rhaelrham pa neh aka loeih nu te dawt lamtah, “Balae aka om,” ti na uh.
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’

Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

Judgement has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22 Dibon la, Nebo la, Beth-diblathaim la,
on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kiriathaim la, Bethgamul neh Bethmeon la,
on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24 Kerioth la, Bozrah neh Moab khohmuen khopuei a yoei a hla boeih la pawk coeng.
on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Moab ki ngun coeng tih a ban khaw khaem coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26 BOEIPA te a pantai thil dongah anih te rhuihmil sak. Te daengah ni Moab te a lok dongah kut a paeng vetih amah khaw nueihbu la a om eh.
“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27 Israel khaw nang ham tah nueihbu la om het pawt nim? Na ol neh anih na hnet dingdoeng bangla hlanghuen lakli ah a hmuh khaw a hmuh a?
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found amongst thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Moab khosa rhoek aw khopuei te hnoo uh lamtah thaelpang ah khosa uh. Rhalvangan kah rhom rhai ah butuk uh lamtah, vahui bangla om uh.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 Moab kah hoemdamnah neh thinthah pangkha la a oeknah neh a hoemdamnah khaw, a hoemnah neh a lungbuei buhuengpomnah khaw ka yaak uh coeng.
“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30 Kai tah BOEIPA kah a thinpom olphong khaw ka ming dae a olsai tangloeng pawt tih a saii van moenih.
I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31 Te dongah Moab ham ka rhung tangloeng coeng, Moab ham a pum la ka pang. Kirhareseth hlang ham a thuep.
Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Jazer kah a rhah lakah Sibam misur nang ham ka rhap. Na baek te tuipuei la yam tih Jazer tuipuei duela a pha. Na khohal thaih neh na misurbit te aka rhoelrhak loh a cuhu sak.
With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33 Kohoenah neh omngaihnah he cangphil cangngol lamkah, Moab khohmuen lamkah ni. Tedae khum coeng tih, va-am dongkah misurtui ka kak sak. Tamlung khaw tamlung pawt ah, tamlung neh neet boel saeh.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34 Heshbon lamkah a pang te Elealeh duela, Jahaz duela, Zoar lamloh vaito Horonaim duela a ol a huel uh. Nimrim tui khaw rhaerhap la om coeng.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Moab kah hmuensang ah aka pongpa tih a pathen taengah aka phum rhoek te ka kangkuen sak ni.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36 Te dongah ka lungbuei he Moab ham tah phitphoet bangla cai tih ka lungbuei he Kirhareseth hlang ham phitphoet bangla cai. Te dongah koeva a tung te paltham coeng.
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37 A lu khaw boeih lungawng tih hmuimul khaw boeih a kuet uh. A kut hma khaw cungkuem tih, a cinghen ah tlamhni a yen.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38 Moab imphu tom neh a toltung tom ah a rhaengsae uh. Moab te a ngaih pawh hnopai bangla ka phaek coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39 Rhihyawp tih rhung kanoek a? Moab loh rhawn a maelh te yak kanoek a? Te dongah Moab he nueihbu la, a kaepvai boeih te porhaknah la poeh.
“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40 He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. atha bangla ding tih Moab soah a phae a khuk.
For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Kerioth te a tuuk vetih rhalmahim te a loh pah ni. Te khohnin ah tah Moab hlangrhalh lungbuei ah huta puencak kah lungbuei bangla om ni.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 BOEIPA te a taloeh thil dongah Moab he pilnam lamloh mitmoeng ni.
Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Moab khosa nang ham birhihnah rhom neh pael om coeng lah ko. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
44 Ngaihuet neh birhihnah hmai lamloh aka rhaelrham te rhom ah cungku ni. Rhom lamloh aka yoeng te khaw pael neh a boh ni. Moab loh a sokah a cawhnah kum te amah soah ka thoeng sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
45 Heshbon hlip ah aka pai te Heshbon lamkah hmai loh a coe thil tih thadueng om kolla rhaelrham coeng. Te vaengah Sihon laklo lamkah hmaisai loh Moab baengki neh longlonah ca rhoek kah luki te a hlawp pah.
“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Anunae Moab nang aih te, Khemosh kah pilnam tah milh coeng. Na ca rhoek te tamna la, na canu rhoek tamna la a khuen uh coeng.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 Hmailong tue ah tah Moab thongtla te ka mael puei ni. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. He hil he Moab ham laitloeknah coeng ni.
“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
