Izaiáš 15
1 Břímě Moábských. Když v noci Ar Moábské popléněno a zkaženo bude, když i Kir Moábské v noci popléněno a zkaženo bude,
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about the Moab [people-group]: In one night [two of your important cities], Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.
2 Vstoupí do Baít, a do Dibon a do Bamot s pláčem, nad Nébo a nad Medaba Moáb kvíliti bude, na všech hlavách jeho bude lysina, a každá brada oholena bude.
The people of Dibon, [your capital city, ] will go to their temple to mourn/weep; they will go to [their shrines] on the hilltops to weep. They will wail because of [what happened to] Nebo and Medeba [towns in the south]; they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards [to show that they are grieving].
3 Na ulicích jeho přepáší se žíní, na střechách jeho i na ryncích jeho každý kvíliti bude, s pláčem se vraceje.
In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth, and on their [flat] rooftops and in the [city] plazas everyone will wail, with tears streaming down their faces.
4 A křičeti bude Ezebon a Eleale, až v Jasa slyšán bude hlas jejich, nýbrž i zbrojní Moábští křičeti budou. Duše každého z nich žalostiti bude, a řekne:
[The people of] Heshbon [city] and Elealeh [towns in the north of Moab] will cry out; people as far away as Jahaz [town in the south] will hear them wailing. Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out and they will be very afraid [IDM].
5 Srdce mé řve nad Moábem a pevnostmi jeho, až slyšeti v Ségor, jako jalovice tříletá; nebo cestou Luchitskou s pláčem půjde, a kudyž se chodí k Choronaim, křik hrozný vydávati budou,
I feel very sorry for [the people of] Moab; they will flee to Zoar and Eglath-Shelishiyah [towns in the far south]. They will cry as they walk up to Luhith [town]. All along the road to Horonaim [town] people will mourn because their country has been destroyed.
6 Proto že vody Nimrim vymizejí, že uschne bylina, usvadne tráva, aniž co zeleného bude.
The water in Nimrim [Valley] will have dried up. The grass there will be withered; the green plants will [all] be gone, and there will be nothing left that is green.
7 A protož zboží nachované a statky jejich odnesou ku potoku Arabim.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Nebo křik obejde vůkol meze Moábské, až do Eglaim kvílení jeho, a až do Beer Elim kvílení jeho,
Throughout the country of Moab, [people] will be crying; people as far away as Eglaim [in the south] and Beer-Elim [in the north] will hear them wailing.
9 Poněvadž i vody Dimon naplněny budou krví. Přidám zajisté Dimonu přídavků, a pošli na ty, kteříž ujdou z Moábských, lvy, i na pozůstalé v té zemi.
The stream near Dimon will become red from the blood [of people who have been killed], but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more [trouble]: Lions will attack those who [are trying to] escape from Moab and will [also] attack the people who remain in that country.
