Isaiah 15
1 The burden of Moab: for in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
Isiqalekiso esimayelana leMowabi: I-Ari eMowabi itshabalalisiwe, idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa. IKhiri eMowabi itshabalalisiwe; idilizwe ngobusuku obubodwa.
2 They have gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. On every head is baldness. Every beard is cut off.
IDibhoni iya phezulu ethempelini layo; ezindaweni zayo eziphakemeyo ukuyalila; iMowabi ililela iNebho leMedebha. Amakhanda wonke aphuciwe; indevu zonke zigeliwe.
3 In their streets, they dress themselves in sackcloth; on their roofs and in their squares, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
Ezindleleni bagqoka amasaka, phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu lasezindaweni zabantu bonke, bayalila bonke, baphele amandla ngokulila.
4 Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.
IHeshibhoni le-Eliyale kuyakhala, amazwi akho azwakala laseJahazi. Ngakho-ke amabutho aseMowabi ayakhala, inhliziyo zawo zidangele.
5 My heart cries out for Moab. Her Nazirites flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.
Inhliziyo yami ikhalela iMowabi, ababalekayo bayo babaleka baze bayefika kude eZowari; kude njengase-Egilathi Shelishiya. Bahamba ngendlela eya eLuhithi, bakhala ohanjweni lwabo; endleleni eya eHoronayimi balilela ukubhujiswa kwabo.
6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
Amanzi aseNimirimi acitshile, utshani bubunile, uhlaza kalusekho, akukho lutho oluluhlaza oluseleyo.
7 Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the Brook of the Willows.
Ngakho inotho abayizuzileyo bayigcina, bayithwalela ngaphetsheya kweSifula semiDubu.
8 For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing as far as Eglaim, and its wailing as far as Beer Elim.
Ukuklabalala kwabo kuzwakele emngceleni waseMowabi, ukukhala kwabo kufika kude e-Egilayimi, ukulila kwabo kufika eBheri-Elimi.
9 For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dibon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
Amanzi aseDimoni agcwele igazi kodwa ngizajinge ngilethe okunengi phezu kweDimoni, isilwane phezu kwababalekayo baseMowabi, lakulabo abazasala elizweni.
