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.
Profeti imod Moab. I den Nat, da Ar-Moab blev forstyrret, gik det til Grunde; i den Nat, da Kir-Moab blev forstyrret, gik det til Grunde.
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.
Man gaar op til Afgudshuset og til Dibon, til Højene for at græde; paa Nebo og paa Medba hyler Moab, hvert Hoved der er skaldet, hvert Skæg er afskaaret.
3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Everyone howls—going down with weeping.
Paa Gaderne derudi ombinde de sig med Sæk, paa Tagene og paa Gaderne derudi hyle de alle sammen og flyde hen i Graad.
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.
Og Hesbon og Eleale raabe, deres Røst høres indtil Jahaz; derfor skrige de bevæbnede i Moab, hvers Sjæl er modfalden.
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.
Mit Hjerte raaber over Moab, hvis Flygtninge ty lige til Zoar, til Eglath-Selisia; thi man gaar op ad Lukits Opgang med Graad, og paa Vejen til Horonaim opløfter man et Fortvivlelsens Skrig.
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.
Thi Nimrims Vande blive til Ørk; thi Urterne ere hentørrede, Græsset er borte, der er intet grønt.
7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, They carry to the Brook of the Willows.
Derfor bære de Levningen af det, som de have forhvervet sig, og hvad de have henlagt, over Pilebækken.
8 For the cry has gone around the border of Moab, Its howling [is] to Eglaim, And its howling [is] to Beer-Elim.
Thi Skriget omspænder Moabs Landemærke, dets Hyl naar indtil Eglajm, og dets Hyl til Beer-Elim.
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!
Thi Dimons Vande ere fulde af Blod, og jeg vil lade endnu mere komme over Dimon; jeg vil sende en Løve over de undkomne af Moab og over de overblevne i Landet.
