Isaías 15
1 La palabra acerca de Moab. Porque en una noche Ar de Moab se ha convertido en una ruina; porque en una noche, Kir de Moab se ha convertido en un desperdicio, y ya no se ve.
[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 La hija de Dibón ha subido al templo, a los lugares altos, llorando. Moab está haciendo sonar su llanto de tristeza sobre Nebo y sobre Medeba. En todas partes la cabeza será rapada y la cara rasurada.
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 están ciñendo de cilicio; en la parte superior de sus casas y en sus lugares públicos, hay llanto y llanto amargo.
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 está clamando, y Eleale; su voz suena incluso a Jahaza, por esta razón el corazón de Moab está temblando; Su alma está temblando de miedo.
[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; su gente va en vuelo a Zoar, y a Eglat- selisiya; porque suben llorando por la pendiente de Luhit; En el camino a Horonaim, lanzan un grito de desesperación.
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 Las aguas de Nimrim se secarán; porque la hierba se quema, los brotes están llegando a su fin, toda cosa verde está muerta.
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 esta causa se llevarán su riqueza, y las tiendas que han reunido, sobre la corriente de los sauces.
The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
8 Porque el clamor ha ido alrededor de los límites de Moab; En cuanto a Eglaim y 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, y enviaré aún más sobre Moab, un león sobre los de Moab que huyen, 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.
