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.
Tamko kuhusu Moabu, Kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Ari ya Moabu imeharibiwa kabisa na kuangamizwa; kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Kira ya Moabu itaharibiwa na kuangamizwa.
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.
Wamenda juu hekaluni, watu wa Diboni wamenda juu kuomboleza; Moabu wanaomboleza juu ya Nebo na juu ya madeba. Vichwa vyao vimenyolewa viko wazi na na ndevu zao zimenyolewa.
3 In their streets, they dress themselves in sackcloth; on their roofs and in their squares, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
Wamevaa nguo za magunia katka mitaa yao; juu ya dari zao na kila kona ya mitaa yao, kuyeyuka kwa kumwaga machozi.
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.
Hishiboni na Elealehi wanalia wakihitaji msaada; Sauti zao zinasikika mpaka Jahazi. Hivyo basi vijana wa vita wa Moabu wanalia wakihitaji msaada; wanatetemeka wao wenyewe.
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.
Moyo wangu unalia juu ya Moabu; watuhumiwa wamekimbilia Zoari na Elgathi Shelishiyahi. Wanapaa juu ya Luhithi wakilia; katika barabara ya kwenda Horonaimu wanapiga kelele ole juu ya uharibifu.
6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka; majani yamepooza na majani yanyochikia yanakufa; hakuna ukijani hata kidogo.
7 Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the Brook of the Willows.
Hivyo basi vitu vingi vimekuwa na hifadhi wameipeleka juu ya kijito maarufu.
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.
Kilio kimezunguka katika himaya ya Moabu; malalamiko yamefika hata Eglaimu na Beer-Elimu.
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.
Maana maji ya Dimoni imejaa damu; Simba atawavamia wale waliokimbia kutoka Moabu pia na walbakia katika nchi.
