Isaiah 15

1 The prophecy concerning Moab. Yea! in the night of assault was Ar of Moab a ruin! In the night of assault was Kir of Moab a ruin!

有關摩阿布的神諭：實在，摩阿布的阿爾經過一夜的蹂躪，就滅亡了！實在，摩阿布的克爾經過一夜的摧殘，就滅亡了！

2 They go up to the temple, and to Dibon, to weep upon the high places; Upon Nebo and upon Medeba doth Moab howl; On every head is baldness, And every beard is shorn.

狄朋女兒走上高丘哭泣，摩阿布為乃波和默德巴悲號；眾人的頭都剃光了，眾人的鬍鬚都剪去了；

3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses and in their public walks every one howleth, And melteth away with weeping.

有的在街道上穿著苦衣，有的在屋頂上痛哭；在廣場上的人，人人哀號，流淚痛哭。

4 Heshbon and Elealah utter a cry; Even to Jahaz is their voice heard; Therefore the warriors of Moab shriek aloud; Their hearts tremble within them.

赫市朋和厄肋阿肋號啕，雅哈茲都可聽到他們的哭聲；因此摩阿布的兩腰為之顫動，她的心靈為之恐怖。

5 My heart crieth out for Moab, Whose fugitives wander to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishijah; For they ascend the heights of Luhith weeping, And in the way of Horonaim they raise the cry of destruction.

我的心為摩阿布發出哀號，她的難民已逃至左哈爾。他們哭著攀上了路希特的山坡，在曷洛納因的道上揚起了失望的哀聲。

6 For the waters of Nimrim are desolate; The grass is withered; the tender plant faileth; There is no green thing left.

尼默陵的水地成了荒野，青草枯焦了，嫩芽萎縮了，再也見不到青綠。

7 Wherefore the remnant of their substance and their wealth They shall carry to the brook of willows.

為此，他們將所有的積蓄和財物，都帶過了「柳樹河。」

8 For the cry encompasseth the borders of Moab; Even to Eglaim reacheth her wailing, To Beer-Elim her howling.

因為哀叫聲傳遍了摩阿布四境，她的哭聲已傳到厄革拉因，她的哭聲已達到貝爾厄林。

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; For I bring new evils upon Dimon; Upon him that escapeth of Moab will I send a lion, Even upon him that remaineth in the land.

狄孟的水已滿了鮮血，我還要加禍於狄孟：為摩阿布的難民和當地的遺民將有一隻獅子。
