Isaiah 15
1 A message about Moab. The town of Ar in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night! The town of Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night!
Neno kuhusu Moabu: Ari iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa: imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja! Kiri iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa, imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja!
2 The people of Dibon go up to their temple to weep at its high places. The Moabites weep over the towns of Nebo and Medeba. Every head has been shaved, every beard has been cut off in mourning.
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 They wear sackcloth in their streets. On the rooftops and in the open squares they all weep, falling down crying.
Wamevaa nguo za magunia barabarani, juu ya mapaa na kwenye viwanja wote wanaomboleza, wamelala kifudifudi kwa kulia.
4 The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out in sadness, their voices heard as far as Jahaz. That's why even the bravest soldiers of Moab shout—because they're so terrified.
Heshboni na Eleale wanalia, sauti zao zinasikika hadi Yahazi. Kwa hiyo watu wenye silaha wa Moabu wanapiga kelele, nayo mioyo yao imezimia.
5 I weep over Moab. Moabite refugees run all the way to Zoar and to Eglath-shelishiyah. Weeping they go up Luhith hill; crying for their destruction they walk along 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 have all dried up. The grass is withered, all the vegetation has disappeared—nothing green is left.
Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka na majani yamenyauka; mimea imekauka wala hakuna kitu chochote kibichi kilichobaki.
7 Everything they had gained, all their possessions, they have to carry across Willow River.
Kwa hiyo mali waliyoipata na kujiwekea akiba wamezichukua na kuvuka Bonde la Mierebi.
8 Their cry of grief echoes through the whole country of Moab; their wailing and mourning extends all the way from Eglaim to Beer-elim.
Mwangwi wa kilio chao umefika hadi mpakani mwa Moabu, kilio chao cha huzuni kimefika hadi Eglaimu, maombolezo yao hadi Beer-Elimu.
9 River Dimon is full of blood, but I will bring more upon the town of Dimon—a lion to attack the Moabite refugees and those who are left in the country.
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.
