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.
Ucapan ilahi tentang Moab. Sungguh, dalam suatu malam Ar-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan; sungguh, dalam suatu malam Kir-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan!
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].
Puteri Dibon naik ke bukit-bukit pengorbanan untuk menangis; Moab meratap karena Nebo dan karena Medeba. Di situ semua orang menggundul kepalanya dan memotong janggutnya sebagai tanda berkabung.
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.
Di jalan-jalan orang berlilitkan kain kabung, di atas sotoh dan di tanah-tanah lapang sekaliannya meratap, sedang air mata bercucuran.
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].
Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, suara mereka kedengaran sampai ke Yahas. Sebab itu orang-orang bersenjata di Moab berseru-seru, jiwanyapun gemetar.
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.
Aku berteriak karena Moab, pengungsi-pengungsi sudah sampai ke Zoar, ke Eglat-Selisia. Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis; dan di jalan ke Horonaim orang berteriak karena ditimpa bencana.
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.
Sungguh, air di Nimrim menjadi kering dan tandus dan rumput sudah kering, rumput muda sudah habis, tidak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Sebab itu segala harta yang mereka tumpuk dan segala yang mereka simpan mereka bawa ke seberang sungai Haarabim.
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.
Sungguh, teriak itu akan kedengaran di seluruh daerah Moab, ratapnya terdengar sampai ke Eglaim, bahkan sampai ke Beer-Elim.
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.
Sungguh, air Dibon telah penuh dengan darah, tetapi yang menimpa Dibon akan Kutambah lagi, yaitu singa akan menerkam orang-orang yang terluput dari Moab dan yang tersisa di tanah itu.
