< Isaiah 15 >

1 This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night!
رُؤْيَا بِشَأْنِ مُوآبَ: حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُخَرَّبُ عَارُ مُوآبَ، حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُدَمَّرُ قِيرُ مُوآبَ.١
2 Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.
يَنْطَلِقُ أَهْلُ دِيبُونَ إِلَى الْمَعْبَدِ، وَحَتَّى إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبُكَاءِ؛ يُوَلْوِلُ شَعْبُ مُوآبَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ نَبُو وَمَيْدَبَا بِرُؤُوسٍ وَذُقُونٍ مَحْلُوقَةٍ.٢
3 In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
يَتَلَفَّعُونَ بِالْمُسُوحِ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَيَبْكِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ وَفِي السَّاحَاتِ.٣
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.
تَتَعَالَى صَرَخَاتُ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلْعَالَةَ حَتَّى تَتَرَدَّدَ أَصْدَاؤُهَا فِي يَاهَصَ، لِذَلِكَ يَنْدُبُ جَيْشُ مُوآبَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ تَرْتَعِدُ فِي صُدُورِهِم.٤
5 My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
قَلْبِي يَصْرُخُ مُتَوَجِّعاً عَلَى مُوآبَ وَعَلَى عُظَمَائِهَا الْهَارِبِينَ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلاثِيَّةٍ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى عَقَبَةِ اللُّوحِيثِ مُوَلْوِلِينَ، وَيَجْهَرُونَ بِصُرَاخِ الْهَزِيمَةِ فِي طَرِيقِ حُورُونَايِمَ.٥
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
غَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ نِمْرِيمَ، وَجَفَّ الْعُشْبُ عَلَى ضَفَّتَيْهِ، وَذَوَى الْكَلأُ وَبَادَتِ الْخُضْرَةُ٦
7 So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
لِذَلِكَ يَحْمِلُونَ مَا ادَّخَرُوهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَةٍ وَنَفَائِسَ، وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي الصَّفْصَافِ،٧
8 For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
إِذْ يَتَجَاوَبُ صُرَاخُهُمْ عَلَى طُولِ تُخُومِ مُوآبَ، وَتَبْلُغُ وَلْوَلَتُهُمْ إِلَى أَجْلايِمَ وَبِئْرِ إِيلِيمَ.٨
9 The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon— a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
تَفِيضُ مِيَاهُ دِيمُونَ دَماً لأَنِّي أَزِيدُ مِنْ وَيْلاتِهَا، فَتُهَاجِمُ الأُسُودُ النَّاجِينَ مِنْ مُوآبَ، وَتَفْتَرِسُ الْهَارِبِينَ وَالْمَاكِثِينَ فِيهَا.٩
