Yesaya 15
1 Ini pesan TUHAN tentang Moab. Kota Ar dan Kir dimusnahkan dalam waktu satu malam, dan negeri Moab menjadi sunyi sepi.
A message about Moab. The town of Ar in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night! The town of Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night!
2 Penduduk Dibon mendaki bukit untuk menangis di tempat penyembahan dewa-dewa. Penduduk Moab dengan sedih meratapi kota Nebo dan Medeba. Mereka mencukur kepala dan janggut sebagai tanda berduka.
The people of Dibon go up to their temple to weep at its high places. The Moabites weep over the towns of Nebo and Medeba. Every head has been shaved, every beard has been cut off in mourning.
3 Orang-orang di jalan berpakaian kain karung tanda berkabung; orang meratap dan menangis di tanah lapang dan di atap rumah.
They wear sackcloth in their streets. On the rooftops and in the open squares they all weep, falling down crying.
4 Orang Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, dan suara mereka terdengar sampai di Yahas. Bahkan para prajurit gemetar; mereka sudah kehilangan keberanian.
The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out in sadness, their voices heard as far as Jahaz. That's why even the bravest soldiers of Moab shout—because they're so terrified.
5 Aku kasihan kepada Moab! Penduduknya mengungsi ke kota Zoar dan ke Eglat-Selisia. Ada yang mendaki jalan ke Luhit sambil menangis; ada yang lari ke Horonaim sambil menjerit-jerit karena ditimpa bencana.
I weep over Moab. Moabite refugees run all the way to Zoar and to Eglath-shelishiyah. Weeping they go up Luhith hill; crying for their destruction they walk along the road to Horonaim.
6 Air Sungai Nimrim dan rumput yang tumbuh di tepinya sudah kering kerontang, tak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan yang hijau.
The waters of Nimrim have all dried up. The grass is withered, all the vegetation has disappeared—nothing green is left.
7 Orang-orang menyeberang anak sungai Haarabim dan berusaha menyelamatkan segala harta benda mereka.
Everything they had gained, all their possessions, they have to carry across Willow River.
8 Di mana-mana di perbatasan Moab terdengar teriakan. Ratapan itu terdengar di Eglaim dan Beer-Elim.
Their cry of grief echoes through the whole country of Moab; their wailing and mourning extends all the way from Eglaim to Beer-elim.
9 Di Dibon air sungai menjadi merah karena bercampur darah. Dan Allah akan mendatangkan hal-hal yang lebih dahsyat lagi atas orang-orang di sana. Pembantai yang dikirim-Nya akan membunuh semua orang Moab yang masih hidup.
River Dimon is full of blood, but I will bring more upon the town of Dimon—a lion to attack the Moabite refugees and those who are left in the country.
