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.
Ini pesan TUHAN tentang Moab. Kota Ar dan Kir dimusnahkan dalam waktu satu malam, dan negeri Moab menjadi sunyi sepi.
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.
Penduduk Dibon mendaki bukit untuk menangis di tempat penyembahan dewa-dewa. Penduduk Moab dengan sedih meratapi kota Nebo dan Medeba. Mereka mencukur kepala dan janggut sebagai tanda berduka.
3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Everyone howls—going down with weeping.
Orang-orang di jalan berpakaian kain karung tanda berkabung; orang meratap dan menangis di tanah lapang dan di atap rumah.
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.
Orang Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, dan suara mereka terdengar sampai di Yahas. Bahkan para prajurit gemetar; mereka sudah kehilangan keberanian.
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.
Aku kasihan kepada Moab! Penduduknya mengungsi ke kota Zoar dan ke Eglat-Selisia. Ada yang mendaki jalan ke Luhit sambil menangis; ada yang lari ke Horonaim sambil menjerit-jerit karena ditimpa bencana.
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.
Air Sungai Nimrim dan rumput yang tumbuh di tepinya sudah kering kerontang, tak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan yang hijau.
7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, They carry to the Brook of the Willows.
Orang-orang menyeberang anak sungai Haarabim dan berusaha menyelamatkan segala harta benda mereka.
8 For the cry has gone around the border of Moab, Its howling [is] to Eglaim, And its howling [is] to Beer-Elim.
Di mana-mana di perbatasan Moab terdengar teriakan. Ratapan itu terdengar di Eglaim dan 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!
Di Dibon air sungai menjadi merah karena bercampur darah. Dan Allah akan mendatangkan hal-hal yang lebih dahsyat lagi atas orang-orang di sana. Pembantai yang dikirim-Nya akan membunuh semua orang Moab yang masih hidup.
