Isaias 15
1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Moab. Pudno, iti maysa a rabii ket mabaybay-an ken madadael ti Ar iti Moab; pudno, iti maysa a rabii ket mabaybay-an ken madadael ti Kir iti Moab.
[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 Simmang-atda iti templo, ket simmang-at dagiti tattao ti Dibon kadagiti nangato a lugar tapno agsangitda; dungdung-awan ti Moab ti Nebo ken ti Medeba. Nakuskusan amin dagiti uloda ken naahitan amin dagiti barbasda.
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 Kadagiti kalsadada ket nakakawesda iti nakersang a lupot; kadagiti tuktok ti babbalayda ken kadagiti plasada, agdungdung-aw amin dagiti tattao, agar-arubos dagiti luluada.
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 Nagpaarayat ti Hesbon ken Eleale; mangngeg agingga iti Jaaz ti timekda. Kasta met a nagpaarayat dagiti soldado ti Moab; agtigtigergerda.
[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 Sangsangitan iti pusok ti Moab; nagkamang idiay Zoar ken idiay Eglat Selisia dagiti tattaona a naglibas. Sumangsang-atda nga agsangsangit iti sang-atan ti Luhit; iti dalan nga agturong idiay Horonaim ket agdungdung-awda iti napigsa gapu iti pannakadadaelda.
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 Nagmagan ti danum iti Nimrim; nalaylay ti ruot ken matay ti katubtubo a ruot; awanen ti nalangto.
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 Ti kinawadwad a nagun-od ken naurnongda ket ipandanto iti ballasiw ti waig dagiti karawawe.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Nagwaras ti panagsangit iti aglawlaw ti teritorio ti Moab; ti dungdung-aw ket dimmanon agingga iti Eglaim ken Beerelim.
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 Ta nalaokan iti dara ti danum ti Dimon; ngem mangiyegak pay iti nakarkaro a didigra iti Dimon. Darupento ti leon dagiti aglibas manipud iti Moab ken kasta met dagiti nabatbati iti daga.
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.
