< 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.
Peso de Moab. Certamente de noite foi destruída Ar de Moab, e foi desfeita: certamente de noite foi destruída Kir de Moab, e foi desfeita.
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].
Vai subindo a Bayith, e a Dibon, aos lugares altos, a chorar: por Nebo e por Medeba Moab uivará; sobre todas as suas cabeças haverá calva, e toda a barba será rapada.
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.
Cingiram-se de sacos nas suas ruas: nos seus terraços e nas suas praças todos andam uivando, e veem descendo e chorando.
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].
Assim Hesbon como Eleale, andam gritando, até Jahas se ouve a sua voz; pelo que os armados de Moab fazem grande grita, a sua alma lhes será penosa.
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.
O meu coração dá gritos por Moab: fugiram os seus fugitivos até Zoar, como a novilha de três anos: porque vai subindo com choro pela subida de Luhith, porque no caminho de Horonaim levantam um lastimoso pranto.
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.
Porque as águas de Nimrim serão uma pura assolação; porque já secou o feno, pereceu a erva, e não há verdura alguma.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Pelo que a abundância que ajuntaram, e o de mais que guardaram, ao ribeiro dos salgueiros o levaram.
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.
Porque o pranto rodeará aos limites de Moab; até Eglaim chegará o seu uivo, e ainda até Beerelim chegará o seu uivo
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.
Porquanto as águas de Dimon estão cheias de sangue, porque ainda acrescentarei a Dimon os sobejos; a saber, leões contra aqueles que escaparem de Moab, como também contra as relíquias da terra.
