Esajas 15
1 Profeti imod Moab. I den Nat, da Ar-Moab blev forstyrret, gik det til Grunde; i den Nat, da Kir-Moab blev forstyrret, gik det til Grunde.
The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
2 Man gaar op til Afgudshuset og til Dibon, til Højene for at græde; paa Nebo og paa Medba hyler Moab, hvert Hoved der er skaldet, hvert Skæg er afskaaret.
They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo, and over Medeba. On all their heads is baldness. Every beard is cut off.
3 Paa Gaderne derudi ombinde de sig med Sæk, paa Tagene og paa Gaderne derudi hyle de alle sammen og flyde hen i Graad.
In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth. On their housetops, and in their broad places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4 Og Hesbon og Eleale raabe, deres Røst høres indtil Jahaz; derfor skrige de bevæbnede i Moab, hvers Sjæl er modfalden.
And Heshbon cries out, and Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. His soul trembles within him.
5 Mit Hjerte raaber over Moab, hvis Flygtninge ty lige til Zoar, til Eglath-Selisia; thi man gaar op ad Lukits Opgang med Graad, og paa Vejen til Horonaim opløfter man et Fortvivlelsens Skrig.
My heart cries out for Moab. Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah. For they go up with weeping by the ascent of Luhith. For they raise up a cry of destruction in the way of Horonaim.
6 Thi Nimrims Vande blive til Ørk; thi Urterne ere hentørrede, Græsset er borte, der er intet grønt.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away. The tender grass fails. There is no green thing.
7 Derfor bære de Levningen af det, som de have forhvervet sig, og hvad de have henlagt, over Pilebækken.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, they shall carry away over the brook of the willows.
8 Thi Skriget omspænder Moabs Landemærke, dets Hyl naar indtil Eglajm, og dets Hyl til Beer-Elim.
For the cry has gone round about the borders of Moab, the wailing of it to Eglaim, and the wailing of it to Beer-elim.
9 Thi Dimons Vande ere fulde af Blod, og jeg vil lade endnu mere komme over Dimon; jeg vil sende en Løve over de undkomne af Moab og over de overblevne i Landet.
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood. For I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon those of Moab who escape, and upon the remnant of the land.
