Ishaya 15
1 Abin da Allah ya yi magana a kan Mowab shi ne, An lalatar da Ar a Mowab, an hallaka ta da dare! An lalatar da Kir a Mowab, an hallaka ta da dare!
[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 Dibon ya haura zuwa haikalinta, zuwa masujadan kan tudu don tă yi kuka; Mowab ta yi ihu a kan Nebo da Medeba. An aske kowane kai an kuma yanke kowane gemu.
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 A tituna sun sa tsummoki a jikunansu; a kan rufin ɗakuna da kuma dandalin taruwa dukansu sai makoki suke yi, sun kwanta suna kuka.
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 Heshbon da Eleyale sun yi kuka da ƙarfi, aka ji muryoyinsu ko’ina har zuwa Yahaz. Saboda haka mayaƙan Mowab suka yi kuka da ƙarfi, har zuciyarsu ta karai.
[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 Zuciyata ta yi kuka a kan Mowab; mutanenta sun gudu har zuwa Zowar, har zuwa Eglat Shelishiya. Sun haura zuwa Luhit, suna tafe suna kuka; a kan hanyar zuwa Horonayim suna makoki saboda hallakawarsu.
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 Ruwayen Nimrim sun ƙafe ciyayin kuma sun bushe; tsire-tsire duk sun ɓace babu sauran ɗanyen abu.
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 Saboda haka dukiyar da suka tara suka kuma ajiye sun ɗauka suka ƙetare Rafin Arabim da su.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Ƙugin kukansu ya kai ko’ina a iyakar Mowab; kururuwarsu ta kai har zuwa Eglayim, makokinsu ya kai har zuwa Beyer-Elim.
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 Ruwayen Dimon sun cika da jini, amma zan yi ƙari a kan Dimon, zan kawo zaki a kan masu gudu na Mowab da kuma a kan waɗanda suka ragu a ƙasar.
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.
