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!
Neno kuhusu Moabu: Ari iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa: imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja! Kiri iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa, imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja!
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.
Diboni anakwea hadi kwenye hekalu lake, mpaka mahali pake pa juu ili walie, Moabu anaombolezea Nebo na Medeba. Kila kichwa kimenyolewa na kila ndevu limeondolewa.
3 In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
Wamevaa nguo za magunia barabarani, juu ya mapaa na kwenye viwanja wote wanaomboleza, wamelala kifudifudi kwa kulia.
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.
Heshboni na Eleale wanalia, sauti zao zinasikika hadi Yahazi. Kwa hiyo watu wenye silaha wa Moabu wanapiga kelele, nayo mioyo yao imezimia.
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.
Moyo wangu unamlilia Moabu; wakimbizi wake wanakimbilia Soari, hadi Eglath-Shelishiya. Wanapanda njia ya kwenda Luhithi, wanakwenda huku wanalia; barabarani iendayo Horonaimu wanaombolezea maangamizi yao.
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka na majani yamenyauka; mimea imekauka wala hakuna kitu chochote kibichi kilichobaki.
7 So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
Kwa hiyo mali waliyoipata na kujiwekea akiba wamezichukua na kuvuka Bonde la Mierebi.
8 For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
Mwangwi wa kilio chao umefika hadi mpakani mwa Moabu, kilio chao cha huzuni kimefika hadi Eglaimu, maombolezo yao hadi Beer-Elimu.
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.
Maji ya Dimoni yamejaa damu, lakini bado nitaleta pigo jingine juu ya Dimoni: simba juu ya wakimbizi wa Moabu na juu ya wale wanaobaki katika nchi.
