Yesaia 15
1 Adehu a ɛfa Moab ho: Wɔasɛe Ar a ɛwɔ Moab Da koro anadwo bi, wɔasɛe Kir a ɛwɔ Moab da koro anadwo bi!
This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night!
2 Dibon foro kɔ nʼasɔredan mu, ɔkɔ ne sorɔnsorɔmmea kosu; Moab twa adwo wɔ Nebo ne Medeba ho. Wɔayi eti biara so nwi na abogyesɛ biara nso wɔatwitwa.
Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.
3 Wofurafura atweaatam wɔ mmɔnten so; wɔ adan atifi ne ɔman ahyiae wɔn nyinaa retwa adwo, wɔdeda fam na wosu.
In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
4 Hesbon ne Eleale teɛ mu su, wɔte wɔn nne kodu Yahas nohɔ. Enti Moab mmarima akofo teɛ mu su, na wɔbotobotow.
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.
5 Midi Moab ho awerɛhow wɔ me koma mu; nʼaguanfo guan kodu Soar, ne Eglat Selisiya. Wɔforo kɔ Luhit, wɔrekɔ nyinaa na wɔresu; Horonaim kwan so nso wodi wɔn sɛe ho awerɛhow.
My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6 Nimrim nsuwansuwa ayoyow na sare no ahyew afifide nyinaa ayera na ɛnkaa wura biara a ɛyɛ amono.
The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
7 Enti ahonyade a wɔapɛ agu hɔ no wɔsoa de kotwa mpampuro bon.
So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
8 Wɔn nkekawmu gyigye wɔ Moab ahye so; wɔn agyaadwotwa kodu Eglaim na wɔn abubuwbɔ kodu Beer Elim.
For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
9 Dimon nsu ayɛ mogya nko ara nanso mɛkɔ so ne no adi gyata bɛba Moab aguanfo so ne wɔn a wɔbɛka asase no so no so.
The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon— a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
