< Isaiah 15 >

1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence;
Ucapan ilahi tentang Moab. Sungguh, dalam suatu malam Ar-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan; sungguh, dalam suatu malam Kir-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan!
2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads [shall be] baldness, [and] every beard cut off.
Puteri Dibon naik ke bukit-bukit pengorbanan untuk menangis; Moab meratap karena Nebo dan karena Medeba. Di situ semua orang menggundul kepalanya dan memotong janggutnya sebagai tanda berkabung.
3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
Di jalan-jalan orang berlilitkan kain kabung, di atas sotoh dan di tanah-tanah lapang sekaliannya meratap, sedang air mata bercucuran.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard [even] unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, suara mereka kedengaran sampai ke Yahas. Sebab itu orang-orang bersenjata di Moab berseru-seru, jiwanyapun gemetar.
5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives [shall flee] unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
Aku berteriak karena Moab, pengungsi-pengungsi sudah sampai ke Zoar, ke Eglat-Selisia. Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis; dan di jalan ke Horonaim orang berteriak karena ditimpa bencana.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
Sungguh, air di Nimrim menjadi kering dan tandus dan rumput sudah kering, rumput muda sudah habis, tidak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
Sebab itu segala harta yang mereka tumpuk dan segala yang mereka simpan mereka bawa ke seberang sungai Haarabim.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
Sungguh, teriak itu akan kedengaran di seluruh daerah Moab, ratapnya terdengar sampai ke Eglaim, bahkan sampai ke Beer-Elim.
9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
Sungguh, air Dibon telah penuh dengan darah, tetapi yang menimpa Dibon akan Kutambah lagi, yaitu singa akan menerkam orang-orang yang terluput dari Moab dan yang tersisa di tanah itu.
