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!
Tamko kuhusu Moabu, Kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Ari ya Moabu imeharibiwa kabisa na kuangamizwa; kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Kira ya Moabu itaharibiwa na kuangamizwa.
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.
Wamenda juu hekaluni, watu wa Diboni wamenda juu kuomboleza; Moabu wanaomboleza juu ya Nebo na juu ya madeba. Vichwa vyao vimenyolewa viko wazi na na ndevu zao zimenyolewa.
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 katka mitaa yao; juu ya dari zao na kila kona ya mitaa yao, kuyeyuka kwa kumwaga machozi.
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.
Hishiboni na Elealehi wanalia wakihitaji msaada; Sauti zao zinasikika mpaka Jahazi. Hivyo basi vijana wa vita wa Moabu wanalia wakihitaji msaada; wanatetemeka wao wenyewe.
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 unalia juu ya Moabu; watuhumiwa wamekimbilia Zoari na Elgathi Shelishiyahi. Wanapaa juu ya Luhithi wakilia; katika barabara ya kwenda Horonaimu wanapiga kelele ole juu ya uharibifu.
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; majani yamepooza na majani yanyochikia yanakufa; hakuna ukijani hata kidogo.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.
Hivyo basi vitu vingi vimekuwa na hifadhi wameipeleka juu ya kijito maarufu.
8 For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
Kilio kimezunguka katika himaya ya Moabu; malalamiko yamefika hata Eglaimu na 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.
Maana maji ya Dimoni imejaa damu; Simba atawavamia wale waliokimbia kutoka Moabu pia na walbakia katika nchi.
