Jesaja 15
1 De godsspraak over Moab. Ach, in één nacht is Ar overweldigd, Moab verwoest, Ach, in één nacht is Kir overmeesterd, Moab vernield!
The burden of Moab. Because Ar of Moab has been destroyed by night, it is utterly silent. Because the wall of Moab has been destroyed by night, it is utterly silent.
2 De dochter van Dibon heeft de hoogten beklommen, Om er te wenen, En over Nebo en Medeba Heft Moab zijn klaagzangen aan. Alle hoofden zijn kaal, Alle baarden geschoren;
The house has ascended with Dibon to the heights, in mourning over Nebo and over Medeba. Moab has wailed. There will be baldness on all of their heads, and every beard will be shaven.
3 Men draagt de rouwzak op straat, En treurt op de daken. Alles jammert op zijn pleinen, Barst uit in geween;
At their crossroads, they have been wrapped with sackcloth. On their rooftops and in their streets, everyone descends, wailing and weeping.
4 Chesjbon en Elale snikken, Tot Jáhas hoort men ze schreien. De lenden van Moab rillen er van, En zijn ziel is onthutst;
Heshbon will cry out with Elealeh. Their voice has been heard as far as Jahaz. Over this, the well-equipped men of Moab wail; each soul will wail to itself.
5 Moab snikt het uit in zijn hart, Ontredderd, tot Sóar en Eglat. Ach, de bergpas van Loechit Bestijgt men al schreiend; Ach, op de weg van Choronáim Stoot men een jammerklacht uit!
My heart will cry out to Moab; its bars will cry out even to Zoar, like a three-year-old calf. For they will ascend weeping, by way of the ascent of Luhith. And along the way of Horonaim, they will lift up a cry of contrition.
6 Want de wateren van Nimrim Zijn een steppe geworden: Het gras is verdroogd, het kruid is verdord, Het groen is verdwenen.
For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, because the plants have withered, and the seedling has failed, and all the greenery has passed away.
7 Ja, wat men gespaard En opgelegd had, Brengt men in veiligheid De Wilgenbeek over!
This is in accord with the magnitude of their works and of their visitation. They will lead them to the torrent of the willows.
8 Ach, het gejammer trekt rond Door de landen van Moab; Geklaag tot Egláim, Tot Beër-Elim gehuil.
For an outcry has circulated along the border of Moab; its wailing even to Eglaim, and its clamor even to the well of Elim.
9 Want de wateren van Dimon staan al vol bloed, Over Dimon breng Ik nieuwe rampen; Ik zal er de rest van Moab mee drenken, En vernielen wat er overschiet!
Because the waters of Dibon have been filled with blood, I will place even more upon Dibon: those from Moab who flee the lion, and the survivors of the earth.
