Isaiæ 15
1 onus Moab quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab conticuit quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab conticuit
The prophecy concerning Moab. Yea! in the night of assault was Ar of Moab a ruin! In the night of assault was Kir of Moab a ruin!
2 ascendit domus et Dibon ad excelsa in planctum super Nabo et super Medaba Moab ululabit in cunctis capitibus eius calvitium omnis barba radetur
They go up to the temple, and to Dibon, to weep upon the high places; Upon Nebo and upon Medeba doth Moab howl; On every head is baldness, And every beard is shorn.
3 in triviis eius accincti sunt sacco super tecta eius et in plateis eius omnis ululat descendit in fletum
In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses and in their public walks every one howleth, And melteth away with weeping.
4 clamavit Esebon et Eleale usque Iasa audita est vox eorum super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt anima eius ululabit sibi
Heshbon and Elealah utter a cry; Even to Jahaz is their voice heard; Therefore the warriors of Moab shriek aloud; Their hearts tremble within them.
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, Whose fugitives wander to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishijah; For they ascend the heights of Luhith weeping, And in the way of Horonaim they raise the cry of destruction.
6 aquae enim Nemrim desertae erunt quia aruit herba defecit germen viror omnis interiit
For the waters of Nimrim are desolate; The grass is withered; the tender plant faileth; There is no green thing left.
7 secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum ad torrentem salicum ducent eos
Wherefore the remnant of their substance and their wealth They shall carry to the brook of willows.
8 quoniam circumiit clamor terminum Moab usque ad Gallim ululatus eius et usque ad puteum Helim clamor eius
For the cry encompasseth the borders of Moab; Even to Eglaim reacheth her wailing, To Beer-Elim her howling.
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 bring new evils upon Dimon; Upon him that escapeth of Moab will I send a lion, Even upon him that remaineth in the land.
