< 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;
Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit: quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit.
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.
Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa in planctum super Nabo, et super Medaba, Moab ululavit: in cunctis capitibus eius calvitium, et omnis barba radetur.
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.
In triviis eius accincti sunt sacco: super tecta eius, et in plateis eius omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.
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.
Clamabit Hesebon, et Eleale, usque Iasa audita est vox eorum. super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima eius ululabit sibi.
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.
Cor meum ad Moab clamabit, vectes eius usque ad Segor vitulam conternantem: per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet, et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
Secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem salicum ducent eos.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab: usque ad Gallim ululatus eius, et usque ad Puteum Elim clamor eius.
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.
Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine: ponam enim super Dibon additamenta: his, qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terræ.
