< 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!
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 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.
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 Di jalan-jalan orang berlilitkan kain kabung, di atas sotoh dan di tanah-tanah lapang sekaliannya meratap, sedang air mata bercucuran.
They wear sackcloth in their streets. On the rooftops and in the open squares they all weep, falling down crying.
4 Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, suara mereka kedengaran sampai ke Yahas. Sebab itu orang-orang bersenjata di Moab berseru-seru, jiwanyapun gemetar.
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 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.
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 Sungguh, air di Nimrim menjadi kering dan tandus dan rumput sudah kering, rumput muda sudah habis, tidak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau.
The waters of Nimrim have all dried up. The grass is withered, all the vegetation has disappeared—nothing green is left.
7 Sebab itu segala harta yang mereka tumpuk dan segala yang mereka simpan mereka bawa ke seberang sungai Haarabim.
Everything they had gained, all their possessions, they have to carry across Willow River.
8 Sungguh, teriak itu akan kedengaran di seluruh daerah Moab, ratapnya terdengar sampai ke Eglaim, bahkan sampai ke 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 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.
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.
