< 以賽亞書 15 >
1 有關摩阿布的神諭:實在,摩阿布的阿爾經過一夜的蹂躪,就滅亡了!實在,摩阿布的克爾經過一夜的摧殘,就滅亡了!
THE burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
2 狄朋女兒走上高丘哭泣,摩阿布為乃波和默德巴悲號;眾人的頭都剃光了,眾人的鬍鬚都剪去了;
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
3 有的在街道上穿著苦衣,有的在屋頂上痛哭;在廣場上的人,人人哀號,流淚痛哭。
In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4 赫市朋和厄肋阿肋號啕,雅哈茲都可聽到他們的哭聲;因此摩阿布的兩腰為之顫動,她的心靈為之恐怖。
And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
5 我的心為摩阿布發出哀號,她的難民已逃至左哈爾。他們哭著攀上了路希特的山坡,在曷洛納因的道上揚起了失望的哀聲。
My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6 尼默陵的水地成了荒野,青草枯焦了,嫩芽萎縮了,再也見不到青綠。
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7 為此,他們將所有的積蓄和財物,都帶過了「柳樹河。」
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8 因為哀叫聲傳遍了摩阿布四境,她的哭聲已傳到厄革拉因,她的哭聲已達到貝爾厄林。
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9 狄孟的水已滿了鮮血,我還要加禍於狄孟:為摩阿布的難民和當地的遺民將有一隻獅子。
For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
