Yesaya 15
1 Ini pesan TUHAN tentang Moab. Kota Ar dan Kir dimusnahkan dalam waktu satu malam, dan negeri Moab menjadi sunyi sepi.
The burden of Moab: for in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
2 Penduduk Dibon mendaki bukit untuk menangis di tempat penyembahan dewa-dewa. Penduduk Moab dengan sedih meratapi kota Nebo dan Medeba. Mereka mencukur kepala dan janggut sebagai tanda berduka.
They have gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. On every head is baldness. Every beard is cut off.
3 Orang-orang di jalan berpakaian kain karung tanda berkabung; orang meratap dan menangis di tanah lapang dan di atap rumah.
In their streets, they dress themselves in sackcloth; on their roofs and in their squares, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4 Orang Hesybon dan Eleale meraung-raung, dan suara mereka terdengar sampai di Yahas. Bahkan para prajurit gemetar; mereka sudah kehilangan keberanian.
Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.
5 Aku kasihan kepada Moab! Penduduknya mengungsi ke kota Zoar dan ke Eglat-Selisia. Ada yang mendaki jalan ke Luhit sambil menangis; ada yang lari ke Horonaim sambil menjerit-jerit karena ditimpa bencana.
My heart cries out for Moab. Her Nazirites flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.
6 Air Sungai Nimrim dan rumput yang tumbuh di tepinya sudah kering kerontang, tak ada lagi tumbuh-tumbuhan yang hijau.
For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
7 Orang-orang menyeberang anak sungai Haarabim dan berusaha menyelamatkan segala harta benda mereka.
Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the Brook of the Willows.
8 Di mana-mana di perbatasan Moab terdengar teriakan. Ratapan itu terdengar di Eglaim dan Beer-Elim.
For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing as far as Eglaim, and its wailing as far as Beer Elim.
9 Di Dibon air sungai menjadi merah karena bercampur darah. Dan Allah akan mendatangkan hal-hal yang lebih dahsyat lagi atas orang-orang di sana. Pembantai yang dikirim-Nya akan membunuh semua orang Moab yang masih hidup.
For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dibon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
