Isaiah 15

1 The birthun of Moab. For Ar was destried in niyt, Moab was stille; for the wal was distried in the niyt, Moab was stille.

有關摩阿布的神諭：實在，摩阿布的阿爾經過一夜的蹂躪，就滅亡了！實在，摩阿布的克爾經過一夜的摧殘，就滅亡了！

2 The kingis hous, and Dybon stieden to hiy places, in to weilyng; on Nabo, and on Medaba Moab schal yelle. In alle hedis therof schal be ballidnesse, and ech beerd schal be schauun.

狄朋女兒走上高丘哭泣，摩阿布為乃波和默德巴悲號；眾人的頭都剃光了，眾人的鬍鬚都剪去了；

3 In the meetyng of thre weies therof thei ben gird in a sak, alle yellyng on the housis therof and in the stretis therof; it schal go doun in to wepyng.

有的在街道上穿著苦衣，有的在屋頂上痛哭；在廣場上的人，人人哀號，流淚痛哭。

4 Esebon schal crie, and Eleale, the vois of hem is herd `til to Jasa; on this thing the redi men of Moab schulen yelle, the soule therof schal yelle to it silf.

赫市朋和厄肋阿肋號啕，雅哈茲都可聽到他們的哭聲；因此摩阿布的兩腰為之顫動，她的心靈為之恐怖。

5 Myn herte schal crie to Moab, the barris therof `til to Segor, a cow calf of thre yeer. For whi a wepere schal stie bi the stiyng of Luith, and in the weie of Oronaym thei schulen reise cry of sorewe.

我的心為摩阿布發出哀號，她的難民已逃至左哈爾。他們哭著攀上了路希特的山坡，在曷洛納因的道上揚起了失望的哀聲。

6 For whi the watris of Nemrym schulen be forsakun; for the eerbe dried up, buriownyng failide, al grenenesse perischide.

尼默陵的水地成了荒野，青草枯焦了，嫩芽萎縮了，再也見不到青綠。

7 Bi the greetnesse of werk, and the visityng of hem, to the stronde of salewis thei schulen lede hem.

為此，他們將所有的積蓄和財物，都帶過了「柳樹河。」

8 For whi cry cumpasside the ende of Moab; `til to Galym the yellyng therof, and the cry therof `til to the pit of Helym.

因為哀叫聲傳遍了摩阿布四境，她的哭聲已傳到厄革拉因，她的哭聲已達到貝爾厄林。

9 For the watris of Dibon ben fillid with blood; for Y schal sette encreessyngis on Dibon, to tho men of Moab that fledden fro the lioun, and to the relifs of the lond.

狄孟的水已滿了鮮血，我還要加禍於狄孟：為摩阿布的難民和當地的遺民將有一隻獅子。
