Isaiæ 15
1 Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit: quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit.
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
2 Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa in planctum super Nabo, et super Medaba, Moab ululavit: in cunctis capitibus eius calvitium, et omnis barba radetur.
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall wail over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shorn.
3 In triviis eius accincti sunt sacco: super tecta eius, et in plateis eius omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.
In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall wail, weeping abundantly.
4 Clamabit Hesebon, et Eleale, usque Iasa audita est vox eorum. Super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima eius ululabit sibi.
And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous to him.
5 Cor meum ad Moab clamabit, vectes eius usque ad Segor vitulam conternantem: per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet, et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt.
My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee to Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for they shall go up the ascent of Luhith with weeping for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise a cry of destruction.
6 Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the herb is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7 Secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem salicum ducent eos.
Therefore the abundance they have gained, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8 Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab: usque ad Gallim ululatus eius, et usque ad Puteum Elim clamor eius.
For the cry hath gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its howling to Beerelim.
9 Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine: ponam enim super Dibon additamenta: his, qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terræ.
For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
