Isaiah 15

1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about the Moab [people-group]: In one night [two of your important cities], Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.

論摩押的默示： 一夜之間，摩押的亞珥變為荒廢， 歸於無有； 一夜之間，摩押的基珥變為荒廢， 歸於無有。

2 The people of Dibon, [your capital city, ] will go to their temple to mourn/weep; they will go to [their shrines] on the hilltops to weep. They will wail because of [what happened to] Nebo and Medeba [towns in the south]; they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards [to show that they are grieving].

他們上巴益，又往底本， 到高處去哭泣。 摩押人因尼波和米底巴哀號， 各人頭上光禿， 鬍鬚剃淨。

3 In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth, and on their [flat] rooftops and in the [city] plazas everyone will wail, with tears streaming down their faces.

他們在街市上都腰束麻布， 在房頂上和寬闊處俱各哀號， 眼淚汪汪。

4 [The people of] Heshbon [city] and Elealeh [towns in the north of Moab] will cry out; people as far away as Jahaz [town in the south] will hear them wailing. Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out and they will be very afraid [IDM].

希實本和以利亞利悲哀的聲音達到雅雜， 所以摩押帶兵器的高聲喊嚷， 人心戰兢。

5 I feel very sorry for [the people of] Moab; they will flee to Zoar and Eglath-Shelishiyah [towns in the far south]. They will cry as they walk up to Luhith [town]. All along the road to Horonaim [town] people will mourn because their country has been destroyed.

我心為摩押悲哀； 他的貴冑逃到瑣珥， 到伊基拉‧施利施亞。 他們上魯希坡，隨走隨哭； 在何羅念的路上，因毀滅舉起哀聲。

6 The water in Nimrim [Valley] will have dried up. The grass there will be withered; the green plants will [all] be gone, and there will be nothing left that is green.

因為寧林的水成為乾涸， 青草枯乾，嫩草滅沒， 青綠之物，一無所有。

7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.

因此，摩押人所得的財物 和所積蓄的都要運過柳樹河。

8 Throughout the country of Moab, [people] will be crying; people as far away as Eglaim [in the south] and Beer-Elim [in the north] will hear them wailing.

哀聲遍聞摩押的四境； 哀號的聲音達到以基蓮； 哀號的聲音達到比珥‧以琳。

9 The stream near Dimon will become red from the blood [of people who have been killed], but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more [trouble]: Lions will attack those who [are trying to] escape from Moab and will [also] attack the people who remain in that country.

底們的水充滿了血； 我還要加增底們的災難， 叫獅子來追上摩押逃脫的民 和那地上所餘剩的人。
