Isaías 15

1Oráculo contra Moab: Pues en una noche Ar-Moab será asolada y enmudecerá; en una noche será saqueada y arruinada Kir-Moab.

2Sube la casa (de Moab) y Dibón a las alturas para llorar; Moab da alaridos por Nebó y por Medebá: todas las cabezas están rasuradas y todas las barbas cortadas.

3Andan por las calles ceñidos de saco; sobre sus terrados y por sus plazas todos están aullando y prorrumpen en lágrimas.

4Hesbón y Elealé alzan el grito; hasta Jahas se oye su voz; porque los guerreros de Moab tiemblan, desfallece su alma.

5Mi corazón da suspiros por Moab; sus defensores (huyen) a Sóhar, a Eglat-Schelischiah. Suben llorando por la cuesta de Luhit, dan gritos de quebranto en el camino de Horonaim.

6Pues las aguas de Nimrim desaparecerán, se secará el pasto y se marchitará la hierba; no habrá ya planta verde.

7Por eso llevarán el resto de sus tesoros, y sus provisiones al otro lado del torrente de los sauces.

8Porque lamentos rodean los términos de Moab; hasta Eglaim (llegan) sus lamentos, hasta Beer-Elim sus alaridos.

9Porque las aguas de Dimón están llenas de sangre; pues haré venir sobre Dimón nuevas (calamidades): leones sobre los escapados de Moab, y sobre los que queden en el país.

1Onus Moab. [Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit; quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit.

2Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa, in planctum super Nabo; et super Medaba, Moab ululavit; in cunctis capitibus ejus calvitium, et omnis barba radetur.

3In triviis ejus accincti sunt sacco; super tecta ejus et in plateis ejus omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.

4Clamabit Hesebon et Eleale, usque Jasa audita est vox eorum; super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima ejus ululabit sibi.

5Cor meum ad Moab clamabit; vectes ejus usque ad Segor, vitulam conternantem; per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet, et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt.

6Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.

7Secundum magnitudinem operis, et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem Salicum ducent eos.

8Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab; usque ad Gallim ululatus ejus, et usque ad puteum Elim clamor ejus.

9Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine; ponam enim super Dibon additamenta; his qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terræ.]

1The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, it is silent: because the wall of Moab is destroyed in the night, it is silent.

2The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places to mourn over Nabo, and over Medaba, Moab hath howled: ton all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.

3In their streets they are girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets all shall howl and come down weeping.

4Hesebon shall cry, and Eleale, their voice is heard even to Jasa. For this shall the well appointed men of Moab howl, his soul shall howl to itself.

5My heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof shall flee unto Segor a heifer of three years old: for by the ascent of Luith they shall go up weeping: and in the way of Oronaim they shall lift up a cry of destruction.

6For the waters of Nemrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away, the spring is faded, all the greenness is perished.

7According to the greatness of their work, is their visitation also: they shall lead them to the torrent of the willows.

8For the cry is gone round about the border of Moab: the howling thereof unto Gallim, and unto the well of Elim the cry thereof.

9For the waters of Dibon are filled with blood: for I will bring more upon Dibon: the lion upon them that shall flee of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
