Isaiah 15

1 The doom of Moab. Truly in a night is 'Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste.

Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit: quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit.

2 It goeth up to the [idol-]house, and Dibon [goeth] up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn 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 its streets they are girded with sack-cloth, on its roofs, and in its public places every one shall wail, groan with weeping.

In triviis eius accincti sunt sacco: super tecta eius, et in plateis eius omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.

4 And loud crieth Cheshbon with El'aleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.

Clamabit Hesebon, et Eleale, usque Iasa audita est vox eorum. Super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima eius ululabit sibi.

5 My heart will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zo'ar, [and] the third 'Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchith—with weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat [in battle].

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 dry is the grass, gone are the herbs, and green things are no more.

Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.

7 Therefore the rest of their acquisitions and what they possess shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.

Secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem salicum ducent eos.

8 For the cry hath encompassed the boundary of Moab; up to Eglayim [is heard] its wail, and at Beer-elim [is heard] its wail.

Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab: usque ad Gallim ululatus eius, et usque ad Puteum Elim clamor eius.

9 For the waters of Dimon are filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab [cometh] a lion, and over 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.
