Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought.

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！

2 They are gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab waileth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

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；

3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one waileth, weeping abundantly.

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。

4 And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him.

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。

5 My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles [flee] unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

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。

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing.

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。

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.

為此，他們將所有的積蓄和財物，都帶過了「柳樹河。」

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing thereof unto Eglaim, and the wailing thereof unto Beer-elim.

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。

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon them of Moab that escape, and upon the remnant of the land.

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。
