Isaiah 15
1 The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed!
Isiqalekiso esimayelana leMowabi: I-Ari eMowabi itshabalalisiwe, idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa. IKhiri eMowabi itshabalalisiwe; idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.
2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.
IDibhoni iya phezulu ethempelini layo; ezindaweni zayo eziphakemeyo ukuyalila; iMowabi ililela iNebho leMedebha. Amakhanda wonke aphuciwe; indevu zonke zigeliwe.
3 In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.
Ezindleleni bagqoka amasaka, phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu lasezindaweni zabantu bonke, bayalila bonke, baphele amandla ngokulila.
4 And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him.
IHeshibhoni le-Eliyale kuyakhala, amazwi akho azwakala laseJahazi. Ngakho-ke amabutho aseMowabi ayakhala, inhliziyo zawo zidangele.
5 My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
Inhliziyo yami ikhalela iMowabi, ababalekayo bayo babaleka baze bayefika kude eZowari; kude njengase-Egilathi Shelishiya. Bahamba ngendlela eya eLuhithi, bakhala ohanjweni lwabo; endleleni eya eHoronayimi balilela ukubhujiswa kwabo.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing.
Amanzi aseNimirimi acitshile, utshani bubunile, uhlaza kalusekho, akukho lutho oluluhlaza oluseleyo.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.
Ngakho inotho abayizuzileyo bayigcina, bayithwalela ngaphetsheya kweSifula semiDubu.
8 For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
Ukuklabalala kwabo kuzwakele emngceleni waseMowabi, ukukhala kwabo kufika kude e-Egilayimi, ukulila kwabo kufika eBheri-Elimi.
9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.
Amanzi aseDimoni agcwele igazi kodwa ngizajinge ngilethe okunengi phezu kweDimoni, isilwane phezu kwababalekayo baseMowabi, lakulabo abazasala elizweni.
