Isaías 15
1 La carga de Moab. Porque en una noche, Ar de Moab es asolada, y reducida a la nada. Porque en una noche Kir de Moab es asolada y reducida a la nada.
[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 Subieron a Bayit y a Dibón, a los lugares altos, para llorar. Moab se lamenta sobre Nebo y sobre Medeba. La calvicie está en todas sus cabezas. Todas las barbas están cortadas.
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 En sus calles se visten de cilicio. En sus calles y en las azoteas, todos se lamentan, llorando abundantemente.
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 Hesbón grita con Elealeh. Su voz se oye hasta Jahaz. Por eso los hombres armados de Moab gritan en voz alta. Sus almas tiemblan dentro de ellos.
[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 ¡Mi corazón clama por Moab! Sus nobles huyen a Zoar, a Eglath Shelishiyah; porque suben por la subida de Luhit con llanto; porque en el camino a Horonaim, lanzan un grito de destrucción.
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 Porque las aguas de Nimrim quedarán desoladas; porque la hierba se ha marchitado, la hierba tierna se ha secado, no hay 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 Por eso se llevarán la abundancia que han conseguido, y lo que han almacenado, sobre el arroyo de los sauces.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Porque el clamor ha recorrido las fronteras de Moab, su lamento hasta Eglaim, y su lamento 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 Porque las aguas de Dimón están llenas de sangre; porque aún traeré más sobre Dimón, un león sobre los de Moab que escapan, y sobre el resto de la tierra.
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.
