< Isaiah 15 >

1 The burden of Moab. Surely Ar of Moab was destroied, and brought to silece in a night: surely Kir of Moab was destroied, and brought to silence in a night.
رُؤْيَا بِشَأْنِ مُوآبَ: حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُخَرَّبُ عَارُ مُوآبَ، حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُدَمَّرُ قِيرُ مُوآبَ.١
2 He shall goe vp to the temple, and to Dibon to the hie places to weepe: for Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howle: vpon all their heades shalbe baldnesse, and euery beard shauen.
يَنْطَلِقُ أَهْلُ دِيبُونَ إِلَى الْمَعْبَدِ، وَحَتَّى إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبُكَاءِ؛ يُوَلْوِلُ شَعْبُ مُوآبَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ نَبُو وَمَيْدَبَا بِرُؤُوسٍ وَذُقُونٍ مَحْلُوقَةٍ.٢
3 In their streetes shall they bee gilded with sackecloth: on the toppes of their houses, and in their streetes euery one shall howle, and come downe with weeping.
يَتَلَفَّعُونَ بِالْمُسُوحِ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَيَبْكِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ وَفِي السَّاحَاتِ.٣
4 And Heshbon shall crie, and Elealeh: their voyce shall bee heard vnto Iahaz: therefore the warriers of Moab shall showt: the soule of euery one shall lament in him selfe.
تَتَعَالَى صَرَخَاتُ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلْعَالَةَ حَتَّى تَتَرَدَّدَ أَصْدَاؤُهَا فِي يَاهَصَ، لِذَلِكَ يَنْدُبُ جَيْشُ مُوآبَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ تَرْتَعِدُ فِي صُدُورِهِم.٤
5 Mine heart shall crie for Moab: his fugitiues shall flee vnto Zoar, an heiffer of three yere olde: for they shall goe vp with weeping by the mounting vp of Luhith: and by the way of Horonaim they shall raise vp a crie of destruction.
قَلْبِي يَصْرُخُ مُتَوَجِّعاً عَلَى مُوآبَ وَعَلَى عُظَمَائِهَا الْهَارِبِينَ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلاثِيَّةٍ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى عَقَبَةِ اللُّوحِيثِ مُوَلْوِلِينَ، وَيَجْهَرُونَ بِصُرَاخِ الْهَزِيمَةِ فِي طَرِيقِ حُورُونَايِمَ.٥
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried vp: therefore the grasse is withered, the herbes consumed, and there was no greene herbe.
غَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ نِمْرِيمَ، وَجَفَّ الْعُشْبُ عَلَى ضَفَّتَيْهِ، وَذَوَى الْكَلأُ وَبَادَتِ الْخُضْرَةُ٦
7 Therefore what euery man hath left, and their substance shall they beare to the brooke of the willowes.
لِذَلِكَ يَحْمِلُونَ مَا ادَّخَرُوهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَةٍ وَنَفَائِسَ، وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي الصَّفْصَافِ،٧
8 For the crie went round about the borders of Moab: and the howling thereof vnto Eglaim, and the skriking thereof vnto Beer Elim,
إِذْ يَتَجَاوَبُ صُرَاخُهُمْ عَلَى طُولِ تُخُومِ مُوآبَ، وَتَبْلُغُ وَلْوَلَتُهُمْ إِلَى أَجْلايِمَ وَبِئْرِ إِيلِيمَ.٨
9 Because the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more vpon Dimon, euen lyons vpon him that escapeth of Moab, and to the remnant of the land.
تَفِيضُ مِيَاهُ دِيمُونَ دَماً لأَنِّي أَزِيدُ مِنْ وَيْلاتِهَا، فَتُهَاجِمُ الأُسُودُ النَّاجِينَ مِنْ مُوآبَ، وَتَفْتَرِسُ الْهَارِبِينَ وَالْمَاكِثِينَ فِيهَا.٩
