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.
Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Moaba. Fa tamin’ ny indray alina no nandravana an’ i Ara-moaba, ka fongotra izy; Fa tamin’ ny indray alina no nandravana an’ i Kira-moaba, ka fongotra izy;
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].
Miakatra ho ao amin’ ny tempoly sy ho ao Dibona ny olona, dia ao amin’ ny fitoerana avo, mba hitomany; any Nebo sy Medeba no idradradradran’ i Moaba; Mibory ny loha rehetra; Voaharatra ny somotra rehetra.
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.
Eny an-dalambe dia misikìna lamba fisaonana izy; eny an-tampon-tranony sy eny an-kalalahana dia midradradradra avokoa izy, eny, mijohy ny ranomasony.
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].
Ary mitaraina Hesbona sy Elale, ka re hatrany Jahaza ny feony, ary noho izany dia miantso mafy ny miaramilan’ i Moaba, Mangovitra ny fanahiny ao anatiny.
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.
Ny foko mitaraina noho ny amin’ i Moaba; Ny mandositra avy ao dia tonga hatrany Zoara sy Egleta-selisia; fa miakatra mitomany ao amin’ ny fiakarana Lohita izy sy midradradradra amin’ ny famoizam-po eny an-dalana mankany Horonaima.
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.
Fa Nimrima tsara rano dia tonga karankaina; maina ny ahitra, malazo ny zava-maniry, ka tsy misy zava-maitso intsony.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Ary amin’ izany ny harena be izay nohariny ny entany izay mbola voatahiriny dia entiny ho any am-pitan’ ny lohasahan-driaky ny hazomalahelo.
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.
Fa ny fitarainany manodidina ny sisin’ i Moaba, re hatrany Eglaima ny fidradradradrany Eny, re hatrany Ber-elima ny fidradradradrany.
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.
Fa ny ranon’ i Dimona dia feno rà; fa mbola hampiako ny loza manjo an’ i Dimona, dia liona handrapaka izay efa mandositra avy any Moaba, sy handany izay sisa amin’ ny tany.
