< Yesaya 15 >

1 Ucapan ilahi tentang Moab. Sungguh, dalam suatu malam Ar-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan; sungguh, dalam suatu malam Kir-Moab sudah dirusakkan, dibinasakan!
The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
2 Puteri Dibon naik ke bukit-bukit pengorbanan untuk menangis; Moab meratap karena Nebo dan karena Medeba. Di situ semua orang menggundul kepalanya dan memotong janggutnya sebagai tanda berkabung.
They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo, and over Medeba. On all their heads is baldness. Every beard is cut off.
3 Di jalan-jalan orang berlilitkan kain kabung, di atas sotoh dan di tanah-tanah lapang sekaliannya meratap, sedang air mata bercucuran.
In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth. On their housetops, and in their broad places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4 Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, suara mereka kedengaran sampai ke Yahas. Sebab itu orang-orang bersenjata di Moab berseru-seru, jiwanyapun gemetar.
And Heshbon cries out, and Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. His soul trembles within him.
5 Aku berteriak karena Moab, pengungsi-pengungsi sudah sampai ke Zoar, ke Eglat-Selisia. Sungguh, orang mendaki pendakian Luhit sambil menangis; dan di jalan ke Horonaim orang berteriak karena ditimpa bencana.
My heart cries out for Moab. Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah. For they go up with weeping by the ascent of Luhith. For they raise up a cry of destruction in the way of Horonaim.
6 Sungguh, air di Nimrim menjadi kering dan tandus dan rumput sudah kering, rumput muda sudah habis, tidak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away. The tender grass fails. There is no green thing.
7 Sebab itu segala harta yang mereka tumpuk dan segala yang mereka simpan mereka bawa ke seberang sungai Haarabim.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, they shall carry away over the brook of the willows.
8 Sungguh, teriak itu akan kedengaran di seluruh daerah Moab, ratapnya terdengar sampai ke Eglaim, bahkan sampai ke Beer-Elim.
For the cry has gone round about the borders of Moab, the wailing of it to Eglaim, and the wailing of it to Beer-elim.
9 Sungguh, air Dibon telah penuh dengan darah, tetapi yang menimpa Dibon akan Kutambah lagi, yaitu singa akan menerkam orang-orang yang terluput dari Moab dan yang tersisa di tanah itu.
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood. For I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon those of Moab who escape, and upon the remnant of the land.
