Isaiah 15
1 [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.
Un mensaje sobre Moab. La ciudad de Ar en Moab es devastada, ¡destruida en una sola noche! La ciudad de Quir, en Moab, ha sido devastada y destruida en una sola noche.
2 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].
Los habitantes de Dibón suben a su Templo para llorar en sus lugares altos. Los moabitas lloran sobre las ciudades de Nebo y Medeba. Todas las cabezas se han afeitado, todas las barbas se han cortado en señal de luto.
3 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.
Llevan cilicio en sus calles. En las azoteas y en las plazas todos lloran, se postran llorando.
4 [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].
El pueblo de Hesbón y Eleale grita de tristeza, sus voces se escuchan hasta Jahaza. Por eso hasta los soldados más valientes de Moab gritan, porque están aterrorizados.
5 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.
Lloro por Moab. Los refugiados moabitas corren hasta Zoar y hasta Eglat-selisiya. Llorando suben a la colina de Luhith; llorando por su destrucción recorren el camino hacia Horonaim.
6 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.
Todas las aguas de Nimrim se han secado. La hierba se ha marchitado, toda la vegetación ha desaparecido, no queda nada verde.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Todo lo que habían ganado, todas sus posesiones, tienen que llevarlas al otro lado del río Sauce.
8 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.
Su grito de dolor resuena en todo el país de Moab; sus lamentos y su luto se extienden desde Eglaim hasta Beer-elim.
9 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.
El río Dimón está lleno de sangre, pero traeré más sobre la ciudad de Dimón, un león que atacará a los refugiados moabitas y a los que quedan en el país.
