< Isaías 15 >
1 Un mensaje sobre Moab. La ciudad de Ar en Moab es devastada, ¡destruida en una sola noche! La ciudad de Quir, en Moab, ha sido devastada y destruida en una sola noche.
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about the Moab [people-group]: In one night [two of your important cities], Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.
2 Los habitantes de Dibón suben a su Templo para llorar en sus lugares altos. Los moabitas lloran sobre las ciudades de Nebo y Medeba. Todas las cabezas se han afeitado, todas las barbas se han cortado en señal de luto.
The people of Dibon, [your capital city, ] will go to their temple to mourn/weep; they will go to [their shrines] on the hilltops to weep. They will wail because of [what happened to] Nebo and Medeba [towns in the south]; they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards [to show that they are grieving].
3 Llevan cilicio en sus calles. En las azoteas y en las plazas todos lloran, se postran llorando.
In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth, and on their [flat] rooftops and in the [city] plazas everyone will wail, with tears streaming down their faces.
4 El pueblo de Hesbón y Eleale grita de tristeza, sus voces se escuchan hasta Jahaza. Por eso hasta los soldados más valientes de Moab gritan, porque están aterrorizados.
[The people of] Heshbon [city] and Elealeh [towns in the north of Moab] will cry out; people as far away as Jahaz [town in the south] will hear them wailing. Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out and they will be very afraid [IDM].
5 Lloro por Moab. Los refugiados moabitas corren hasta Zoar y hasta Eglat-selisiya. Llorando suben a la colina de Luhith; llorando por su destrucción recorren el camino hacia Horonaim.
I feel very sorry for [the people of] Moab; they will flee to Zoar and Eglath-Shelishiyah [towns in the far south]. They will cry as they walk up to Luhith [town]. All along the road to Horonaim [town] people will mourn because their country has been destroyed.
6 Todas las aguas de Nimrim se han secado. La hierba se ha marchitado, toda la vegetación ha desaparecido, no queda nada verde.
The water in Nimrim [Valley] will have dried up. The grass there will be withered; the green plants will [all] be gone, and there will be nothing left that is green.
7 Todo lo que habían ganado, todas sus posesiones, tienen que llevarlas al otro lado del río Sauce.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Su grito de dolor resuena en todo el país de Moab; sus lamentos y su luto se extienden desde Eglaim hasta Beer-elim.
Throughout the country of Moab, [people] will be crying; people as far away as Eglaim [in the south] and Beer-Elim [in the north] will hear them wailing.
9 El río Dimón está lleno de sangre, pero traeré más sobre la ciudad de Dimón, un león que atacará a los refugiados moabitas y a los que quedan en el país.
The stream near Dimon will become red from the blood [of people who have been killed], but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more [trouble]: Lions will attack those who [are trying to] escape from Moab and will [also] attack the people who remain in that country.
