Isaiæ 15
1 Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit: quia nocte vastatus est murus, Moab conticuit.
The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed!
2 Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa in planctum super Nabo, et super Medaba, Moab ululavit: in cunctis capitibus eius calvitium, et omnis barba radetur.
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.
3 In triviis eius accincti sunt sacco: super tecta eius, et in plateis eius omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.
In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.
4 Clamabit Hesebon, et Eleale, usque Iasa audita est vox eorum. super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima eius ululabit sibi.
And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him.
5 Cor meum ad Moab clamabit, vectes eius usque ad Segor vitulam conternantem: per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet, et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt.
My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
6 Aquae enim Nemrim desertae erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing.
7 Secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem salicum ducent eos.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.
8 Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab: usque ad Gallim ululatus eius, et usque ad Puteum Elim clamor eius.
For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9 Quia aquae Dibon repletae sunt sanguine: ponam enim super Dibon additamenta: his, qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terrae.
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.
