Isaya 15
1 Tamko kuhusu Moabu, Kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Ari ya Moabu imeharibiwa kabisa na kuangamizwa; kweli, kwa usiku mmoja Kira ya Moabu itaharibiwa na kuangamizwa.
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, it is silent: because the wall of Moab is destroyed in the night, it is silent.
2 Wamenda juu hekaluni, watu wa Diboni wamenda juu kuomboleza; Moabu wanaomboleza juu ya Nebo na juu ya madeba. Vichwa vyao vimenyolewa viko wazi na na ndevu zao zimenyolewa.
The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places to mourn over Nabo, and over Medaba, Moab hath howled: ton all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.
3 Wamevaa nguo za magunia katka mitaa yao; juu ya dari zao na kila kona ya mitaa yao, kuyeyuka kwa kumwaga machozi.
In their streets they are girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets all shall howl and come down weeping.
4 Hishiboni na Elealehi wanalia wakihitaji msaada; Sauti zao zinasikika mpaka Jahazi. Hivyo basi vijana wa vita wa Moabu wanalia wakihitaji msaada; wanatetemeka wao wenyewe.
Hesebon shall cry, and Eleale, their voice is heard even to Jasa. For this shall the well appointed men of Moab howl, his soul shall howl to itself.
5 Moyo wangu unalia juu ya Moabu; watuhumiwa wamekimbilia Zoari na Elgathi Shelishiyahi. Wanapaa juu ya Luhithi wakilia; katika barabara ya kwenda Horonaimu wanapiga kelele ole juu ya uharibifu.
My heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof shall flee unto Segor a heifer of three years old: for by the ascent of Luith they shall go up weeping: and in the way of Oronaim they shall lift up a cry of destruction.
6 Maji ya Nimrimu yamekauka; majani yamepooza na majani yanyochikia yanakufa; hakuna ukijani hata kidogo.
For the waters of Nemrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away, the spring is faded, all the greenness is perished.
7 Hivyo basi vitu vingi vimekuwa na hifadhi wameipeleka juu ya kijito maarufu.
According to the greatness of their work, is their visitation also: they shall lead them to the torrent of the willows.
8 Kilio kimezunguka katika himaya ya Moabu; malalamiko yamefika hata Eglaimu na Beer-Elimu.
For the cry is gone round about the border of Moab: the howling thereof unto Gallim, and unto the well of Elim the cry thereof.
9 Maana maji ya Dimoni imejaa damu; Simba atawavamia wale waliokimbia kutoka Moabu pia na walbakia katika nchi.
For the waters of Dibon are filled with blood: for I will bring more upon Dibon: the lion upon them that shall flee of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
