Isaya 15
1 Neno kuhusu Moabu: Ari iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa: imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja! Kiri iliyo Moabu imeangamizwa, imeharibiwa kwa usiku mmoja!
The burden of Moab. Surely Ar of Moab was destroied, and brought to silece in a night: surely Kir of Moab was destroied, and brought to silence in a night.
2 Diboni anakwea hadi kwenye hekalu lake, mpaka mahali pake pa juu ili walie, Moabu anaombolezea Nebo na Medeba. Kila kichwa kimenyolewa na kila ndevu limeondolewa.
He shall goe vp to the temple, and to Dibon to the hie places to weepe: for Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howle: vpon all their heades shalbe baldnesse, and euery beard shauen.
3 Wamevaa nguo za magunia barabarani, juu ya mapaa na kwenye viwanja wote wanaomboleza, wamelala kifudifudi kwa kulia.
In their streetes shall they bee gilded with sackecloth: on the toppes of their houses, and in their streetes euery one shall howle, and come downe with weeping.
4 Heshboni na Eleale wanalia, sauti zao zinasikika hadi Yahazi. Kwa hiyo watu wenye silaha wa Moabu wanapiga kelele, nayo mioyo yao imezimia.
And Heshbon shall crie, and Elealeh: their voyce shall bee heard vnto Iahaz: therefore the warriers of Moab shall showt: the soule of euery one shall lament in him selfe.
5 Moyo wangu unamlilia Moabu; wakimbizi wake wanakimbilia Soari, hadi Eglath-Shelishiya. Wanapanda njia ya kwenda Luhithi, wanakwenda huku wanalia; barabarani iendayo Horonaimu wanaombolezea maangamizi yao.
Mine heart shall crie for Moab: his fugitiues shall flee vnto Zoar, an heiffer of three yere olde: for they shall goe vp with weeping by the mounting vp of Luhith: and by the way of Horonaim they shall raise vp a crie of destruction.
6 Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka na majani yamenyauka; mimea imekauka wala hakuna kitu chochote kibichi kilichobaki.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried vp: therefore the grasse is withered, the herbes consumed, and there was no greene herbe.
7 Kwa hiyo mali waliyoipata na kujiwekea akiba wamezichukua na kuvuka Bonde la Mierebi.
Therefore what euery man hath left, and their substance shall they beare to the brooke of the willowes.
8 Mwangwi wa kilio chao umefika hadi mpakani mwa Moabu, kilio chao cha huzuni kimefika hadi Eglaimu, maombolezo yao hadi Beer-Elimu.
For the crie went round about the borders of Moab: and the howling thereof vnto Eglaim, and the skriking thereof vnto Beer Elim,
9 Maji ya Dimoni yamejaa damu, lakini bado nitaleta pigo jingine juu ya Dimoni: simba juu ya wakimbizi wa Moabu na juu ya wale wanaobaki katika nchi.
Because the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more vpon Dimon, euen lyons vpon him that escapeth of Moab, and to the remnant of the land.
