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.
Men sa Bondye di k'ap rive peyi Moab: -Y'ap detwi lavil A Moab nan yon grenn nwit. Tout peyi Moab la frèt! Y'ap pran yon sèl nwit pou yo detwi lavil Ki Moab la! Apre sa, tout peyi a frèt!
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].
Moun peyi Moab yo ap kouri moute lavil Dibon, sou tèt mòn yo pou y' al kriye. Moun peyi Moab yo pral plenn tèlman y'ap nan lapenn pou lavil Nebo ak lavil Medeba. Yo taye tout cheve nan tèt yo, yo koupe tout bab nan figi yo.
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.
Nan tout lari, moun ap mache ak rad sak sou yo. Sou tout plas piblik, sou teras anwo tout kay, moun ap plenn. Dlo ap koule nan je yo tout.
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].
Moun lavil Esbon ak moun lavil Eleale ap pouse rèl. Moun tande yo jouk lavil Jakaz. Ata sòlda lame Moab yo ap tranble. Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo.
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.
Kè m' ap fann pou peyi Moab! Moun li yo ap kouri al kache jouk lavil Zoa ak lavil Eglat-Chelichiya. Moun ap kriye antan y'ap rale moute ti pant pou rive lavil Loukit la. Moun ap rele antan y'ap kouri met deyò sou wout ki mennen lavil Owonayim lan.
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.
Larivyè Nimrim chèch. Tout zèb fin cheche. Fèy pyebwa yo fennen. Tout pyebwa mouri.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Tout moun ap janbe lòt bò ravin Banbou avèk tou sa yo genyen ak tout pwovizyon yo.
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.
Toupatou, sou fwontyè peyi Moab la, se rèl. Rèl yo rive jouk nan zòrèy moun lavil Eglayim ak moun lavil Berelim.
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.
Lavil Dimon, dlo larivyè a wouj ak san! Men Bondye pare yon pi gwo malè pou lavil Dimon. Se la yon lyon pral touye dènye moun peyi Moab ki te resi chape kò yo. Se la tout rès moun peyi Moab yo pral mouri.
