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 doom of Moab. Truly in a night is 'Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste.
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.
It goeth up to the [idol-]house, and Dibon [goeth] up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn 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 its streets they are girded with sack-cloth, on its roofs, and in its public places every one shall wail, groan with weeping.
4 Og Hesbon og Eleale raabe, deres Røst høres indtil Jahaz; derfor skrige de bevæbnede i Moab, hvers Sjæl er modfalden.
And loud crieth Cheshbon with El'aleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.
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 will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zo'ar, [and] the third 'Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchith—with weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat [in battle].
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 dry is the grass, gone are the herbs, and green things are no more.
7 Derfor bære de Levningen af det, som de have forhvervet sig, og hvad de have henlagt, over Pilebækken.
Therefore the rest of their acquisitions and what they possess shall they 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 hath encompassed the boundary of Moab; up to Eglayim [is heard] its wail, and at Beer-elim [is heard] its wail.
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 filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab [cometh] a lion, and over the remnant of the land.
