< यशैया 15 >
1 मोआबको बारेमा एउटा घोषणा । साँच्चै, मोआबको आरलाई एकै रातमा उजाड र नष्ट पारिन्छ । साँच्चै, मोआबको कीरलाई एकै रातमा उजाड र नष्ट पारिन्छ ।
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 तिनीहरू माथि मन्दिरमा गएका छन्, दीबोनका मानिसहरू रुनलाई अग्लो ठाउँमा गए । नेबोको निम्ति र मेदबाको निम्ति मोआबले विलाप गर्छ । तिनीहरूका सबै शिर खौरिएका छन् र तिनीहरूका सबै दाह्रीहरू काटिएका छन् ।
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 आफ्ना गल्लीहरूमा तिनीहरू भाङ्ग्रा लगाउँछन् । तिनीहरू घरका छतहरूमाथि र चोकहरूमा हरेकले आँसु बगाउँदै विलाप गर्छन् ।
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 हेश्बोन र एलाले सहायताको निम्ति पुकारा गर्छन् । तिनीहरूको सोर यहसासम्म सुनिन्छ । यसरी मोआबका हतियारधारी मानिसहरूले सहायताको निम्ति पुकारा गर्छन् । तिनीहरू आफैभित्र त्रसित हुन्छन् ।
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 मेरो मनले मोआबको निम्ति पुकारा गर्छ । त्यसका भगौडाहरू सोअर र एग्लत-शलीशियाहतिर भाग्छन् । तिनीहरू लूहीतको उकालोमा रुँदै जान्छन् । आफ्नो विनाशको निम्ति होरोनैमको बाटोमा तिनीहरू ठुलो सोरमा विलाप गर्छन् ।
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 निम्रीमको पानीहरू सुख्खा भएका छन् । घाँस ओइलिएका छन् । हरियाली सुकेका छन् । त्यहाँ कुनै हरियो घाँस छैन ।
For the waters of Nimrim are desolate; The grass is withered; the tender plant faileth; There is no green thing left.
7 तिनीहरूले प्रशस्त उब्जनी गरेका कुरा र भण्डारण गरेका कुरा, तिनीहरू लहरे-पिपलहरूको खोलापारि लैजान्छन् ।
Wherefore the remnant of their substance and their wealth They shall carry to the brook of willows.
8 चित्कार मोआबको इलाकभरि नै गएको छ । विलापचाहिं एग्लेम र बेअर-एलीससम्म पुगेको छ ।
For the cry encompasseth the borders of Moab; Even to Eglaim reacheth her wailing, To Beer-Elim her howling.
9 किनभने दीबोनका पानीहरू रगतले भरिएका छन् । तर म दीबोनमाथि अझ धेरै ल्याउनेछु । मोआबबाट भाग्ने र त्यो देशमा बस्नेमा समेत एउटा सिंहले आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।
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.
