< Isaiah 15 >

1 The burden of Moab. Because in a night Ar of Moab was destroyed—It has been cut off, Because in a night Kir of Moab was destroyed—It has been cut off.
رُؤْيَا بِشَأْنِ مُوآبَ: حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُخَرَّبُ عَارُ مُوآبَ، حَقّاً فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَاغِتَةٍ تُدَمَّرُ قِيرُ مُوآبَ.١
2 He has gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places—to weep, Moab howls on Nebo and on Medeba, Baldness [is] on all its heads, every beard cut off.
يَنْطَلِقُ أَهْلُ دِيبُونَ إِلَى الْمَعْبَدِ، وَحَتَّى إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبُكَاءِ؛ يُوَلْوِلُ شَعْبُ مُوآبَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ نَبُو وَمَيْدَبَا بِرُؤُوسٍ وَذُقُونٍ مَحْلُوقَةٍ.٢
3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Everyone howls—going down with weeping.
يَتَلَفَّعُونَ بِالْمُسُوحِ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا، وَيَبْكِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ وَفِي السَّاحَاتِ.٣
4 And Heshbon and Elealeh cry, Their voice has been heard to Jahaz, Therefore the armed ones of Moab shout, His life has been grievous to him.
تَتَعَالَى صَرَخَاتُ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلْعَالَةَ حَتَّى تَتَرَدَّدَ أَصْدَاؤُهَا فِي يَاهَصَ، لِذَلِكَ يَنْدُبُ جَيْشُ مُوآبَ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ تَرْتَعِدُ فِي صُدُورِهِم.٤
5 My heart [is] toward Moab, Her fugitives cry to Zoar, a heifer of the third [year], For—the ascent of Luhith—He goes up in it with weeping, For in the way of Horonaim, They wake up a cry 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 are desolations, For the hay has been withered, The tender grass has been finished, There has not been a green thing.
غَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ نِمْرِيمَ، وَجَفَّ الْعُشْبُ عَلَى ضَفَّتَيْهِ، وَذَوَى الْكَلأُ وَبَادَتِ الْخُضْرَةُ٦
7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, They carry to the Brook of the Willows.
لِذَلِكَ يَحْمِلُونَ مَا ادَّخَرُوهُ مِنْ ثَرْوَةٍ وَنَفَائِسَ، وَيَنْقُلُونَهَا إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي الصَّفْصَافِ،٧
8 For the cry has gone around the border of Moab, Its howling [is] to Eglaim, And its howling [is] to Beer-Elim.
إِذْ يَتَجَاوَبُ صُرَاخُهُمْ عَلَى طُولِ تُخُومِ مُوآبَ، وَتَبْلُغُ وَلْوَلَتُهُمْ إِلَى أَجْلايِمَ وَبِئْرِ إِيلِيمَ.٨
9 For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set additions on Dimon, A lion for the escaped of Moab, And for the remnant of Adamah!
تَفِيضُ مِيَاهُ دِيمُونَ دَماً لأَنِّي أَزِيدُ مِنْ وَيْلاتِهَا، فَتُهَاجِمُ الأُسُودُ النَّاجِينَ مِنْ مُوآبَ، وَتَفْتَرِسُ الْهَارِبِينَ وَالْمَاكِثِينَ فِيهَا.٩
