< Isaiah 15 >
1 The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of Moab — It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was Kir of Moab — It hath been cut off.
論摩押的默示: 一夜之間,摩押的亞珥變為荒廢, 歸於無有; 一夜之間,摩押的基珥變為荒廢, 歸於無有。
2 He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places — to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads [is] baldness, every beard cut off.
他們上巴益,又往底本, 到高處去哭泣。 摩押人因尼波和米底巴哀號, 各人頭上光禿, 鬍鬚剃淨。
3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth — going down with weeping.
他們在街市上都腰束麻布, 在房頂上和寬闊處俱各哀號, 眼淚汪汪。
4 And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.
希實本和以利亞利悲哀的聲音達到雅雜, 所以摩押帶兵器的高聲喊嚷, 人心戰兢。
5 My heart [is] toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third [year], For — the ascent of Luhith — With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.
我心為摩押悲哀; 他的貴冑逃到瑣珥, 到伊基拉‧施利施亞。 他們上魯希坡,隨走隨哭; 在何羅念的路上,因毀滅舉起哀聲。
6 For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.
因為寧林的水成為乾涸, 青草枯乾,嫩草滅沒, 青綠之物,一無所有。
7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.
因此,摩押人所得的財物 和所積蓄的都要運過柳樹河。
8 For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling.
哀聲遍聞摩押的四境; 哀號的聲音達到以基蓮; 哀號的聲音達到比珥‧以琳。
9 For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the remnant of Adamah!
底們的水充滿了血; 我還要加增底們的災難, 叫獅子來追上摩押逃脫的民 和那地上所餘剩的人。
