Yesaya 15
1 Ini pesan TUHAN tentang Moab. Kota Ar dan Kir dimusnahkan dalam waktu satu malam, dan negeri Moab menjadi sunyi sepi.
The doom of Moab. Truly in a night is 'Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste.
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.
It goeth up to the [idol-]house, and Dibon [goeth] up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn off.
3 Orang-orang di jalan berpakaian kain karung tanda berkabung; orang meratap dan menangis di tanah lapang dan di atap rumah.
In its streets they are girded with sack-cloth, on its roofs, and in its public places every one shall wail, groan with weeping.
4 Orang Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, dan suara mereka terdengar sampai di Yahas. Bahkan para prajurit gemetar; mereka sudah kehilangan keberanian.
And loud crieth Cheshbon with El'aleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.
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.
My heart will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zo'ar, [and] the third 'Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchith—with weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat [in battle].
6 Air Sungai Nimrim dan rumput yang tumbuh di tepinya sudah kering kerontang, tak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan yang hijau.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for dry is the grass, gone are the herbs, and green things are no more.
7 Orang-orang menyeberang anak sungai Haarabim dan berusaha menyelamatkan segala harta benda mereka.
Therefore the rest of their acquisitions and what they possess shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.
8 Di mana-mana di perbatasan Moab terdengar teriakan. Ratapan itu terdengar di Eglaim dan Beer-Elim.
For the cry hath encompassed the boundary of Moab; up to Eglayim [is heard] its wail, and at Beer-elim [is heard] its wail.
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.
For the waters of Dimon are filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab [cometh] a lion, and over the remnant of the land.
