Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence;

有關摩阿布的神諭：實在，摩阿布的阿爾經過一夜的蹂躪，就滅亡了！實在，摩阿布的克爾經過一夜的摧殘，就滅亡了！

2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads [shall be] baldness, [and] every beard shorn.

狄朋女兒走上高丘哭泣，摩阿布為乃波和默德巴悲號；眾人的頭都剃光了，眾人的鬍鬚都剪去了；

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

有的在街道上穿著苦衣，有的在屋頂上痛哭；在廣場上的人，人人哀號，流淚痛哭。

4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard [even] to Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous to him.

赫市朋和厄肋阿肋號啕，雅哈茲都可聽到他們的哭聲；因此摩阿布的兩腰為之顫動，她的心靈為之恐怖。

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives [shall flee] to Zoar, a heifer of three years old: for they shall go up the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise a cry of destruction.

我的心為摩阿布發出哀號，她的難民已逃至左哈爾。他們哭著攀上了路希特的山坡，在曷洛納因的道上揚起了失望的哀聲。

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the herb is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

尼默陵的水地成了荒野，青草枯焦了，嫩芽萎縮了，再也見不到青綠。

7 Therefore the abundance they have gained, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

為此，他們將所有的積蓄和財物，都帶過了「柳樹河。」

8 For the cry hath gone round the borders of Moab, her howling to Eglaim, and her howling to Beer-elim.

因為哀叫聲傳遍了摩阿布四境，她的哭聲已傳到厄革拉因，她的哭聲已達到貝爾厄林。

9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

狄孟的水已滿了鮮血，我還要加禍於狄孟：為摩阿布的難民和當地的遺民將有一隻獅子。
