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!
Neno kuhusu Moabu: Ari iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa: imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja! Kiri iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa, imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja!
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.
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 their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.
Wamevaa nguo za magunia barabarani, juu ya mapaa na kwenye viwanja wote wanaomboleza, wamelala kifudifudi kwa kulia.
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.
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 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.
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 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing.
Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka na majani yamenyauka; mimea imekauka wala hakuna kitu chochote kibichi kilichobaki.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.
Kwa hiyo mali waliyoipata na kujiwekea akiba wamezichukua na kuvuka Bonde la Mierebi.
8 For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
Mwangwi wa kilio chao umefika hadi mpakani mwa Moabu, kilio chao cha huzuni kimefika hadi Eglaimu, maombolezo yao hadi Beer-Elimu.
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.
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.
