U-Isaya 15

1 Umthwalo kaMowabi. Ngoba ngobusuku iAri kaMowabi ichithekile, iqunyiwe; ngoba ngobusuku iKiri kaMowabi ichithekile, iqunyiwe.

oracle Moab for in/on/with night to ruin Ar Moab to cease for in/on/with night to ruin Kir Moab to cease

2 Wenyukela eBayiti leDiboni, indawo eziphakemeyo, ukuyalila; uMowabi uzaqhinqa isililo ngeNebo langeMedeba; kulempabanga kuwo wonke amakhanda abo, zonke indevu zigeliwe;

to ascend: rise [the] house: home and Dibon [the] high place to/for weeping upon Nebo and upon Medeba Moab to wail in/on/with all head his bald spot all beard to dimish

3 ezitaladeni zabo bazibhinca ngamasaka; empahleni zezindlu zabo lezitaladeni zabo wonke uqhinqa isililo, besehla bekhala inyembezi.

in/on/with outside his to gird sackcloth upon roof her and in/on/with street/plaza her all his to wail to go down in/on/with weeping

4 LeHeshiboni leEleyale kuzakhala; ilizwi labo lizwakale kuze kube seJahazi; ngenxa yalokhu abahlomileyo bakoMowabi bayamemeza; umphefumulo wakhe uyathuthumela kuye.

and to cry out Heshbon and Elealeh till Jahaz to hear: hear voice their upon so to arm Moab to shout soul his be ill to/for him

5 Inhliziyo yami iyamkhalela uMowabi; ababalekayo bakhe bafinyelele eZowari, ithokazi elileminyaka emithathu; ngoba umqanso weLuhithi, bawenyuka bekhala inyembezi; ngoba endleleni yeHoronayimi baphakamisa ukukhala kwencithakalo.

heart my to/for Moab to cry out fleeing her till Zoar Eglath-shelishiyah third for ascent [the] Luhith in/on/with weeping to ascend: rise in/on/with him for way: road Horonaim outcry breaking to rouse

6 Ngoba amanzi eNimirimi azakuba zincithakalo; ngoba utshani buyoma, uhlaza luyaphela, kakukho okuluhlaza.

for water Nimrim devastation to be for to wither grass to end: expend grass green not to be

7 Ngenxa yalokhu ukwanda abakwenzileyo lempahla yabo bazakuthwalela esifuleni seminyezane.

upon so abundance to make: offer and punishment their upon Brook [the] (Brook of) Willows to lift: bear them

8 Ngoba ukukhala kuzabhoda umngcele kaMowabi, ukuqhinqa kwakhe isililo kufinyelela eEgilayimi, yebo, ukuqhinqa kwakhe isililo kufinyelela eBeri-Elimi.

for to surround [the] outcry [obj] border: area Moab till Eglaim wailing her and Beer-elim Beer-elim wailing her

9 Ngoba amanzi eDiboni agcwele igazi; ngoba ngizamisela iDiboni okunye futhi, isilwane kulabo abaphunyukileyo bakoMowabi lakunsali yelizwe.

for water Dibon to fill blood for to set: put upon Dibon to add to/for survivor Moab lion and to/for remnant land: soil
