Ezayi 15
1 Pwofesi konsènan Moab la. Anverite nan yon sèl nwit, Ar-Moab fin devaste e detwi nèt. Nan yon sè nwit, Kir-Moab fin devaste e detwi nèt.
[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.
2 Yo fin monte nan tanp lan ak Dibon, menm kote wo plas yo pou kriye. Moab rele anmwey sou Nebo ak Médeba. Razwa fin pase sou tèt tout moun e tout bab fin koupe.
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].
3 Nan lari yo, yo fin abiye ak twal sak. Sou twati lakay yo e sou gwo plas yo, tout moun ap rele anmwey e vin fann nèt akoz dlo ki sòti nan zye yo.
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.
4 Anplis, Hesbon ak Élealé rele anmwey; vwa yo konn tande jis rive Jahats. Akoz sa, tout mesye ak zam yo kriye fò; nanm yo tranble anndan.
[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].
5 Kè m kriye fò pou Moab! Prens li yo sove ale rive jis Tsoar yo, jis Églath-Schelischija yo. Yo monte pant Luchith la pandan y ap kriye nèt; anverite, menm sou wout pou rive Choronaïm nan, y ap leve yon kri anmwey pou destriksyon yo.
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.
6 Paske dlo a Nimrin yo abandone. Anverite, zèb la fennen nèt; menm boujon gazon mouri. Pa gen anyen ki vèt.
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.
7 Pou sa, gwo kantite byen ke yo vin genyen pou mete nan depo, yo pote yo ale sou flèv dlo Arabim nan.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Paske kri anmwey la fin kouri ale antoure peyi Moab la. Plenyen li an rive jis Egalïm, e lamantasyon li an jis Beer-Élim.
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.
9 Paske dlo a Dimon yo plen ak san. Anverite Mwen va ogmante mizè sou Dimon, ak yon lyon sou sila yo k ap sove ale Moab, menm ankò sou retay yo nan peyi a.
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.
