이사야 15

1모압에 관한 경고라 하루 밤에 모압 알이 망하여 황폐할 것이며 하루 밤에 모압 길이 망하여 황폐할 것이라 2그들은 바잇과 디본 산당에 올라가서 울며 모압은 느보와 메드바를 위하여 통곡하도다 그들이 각각 머리털을 없이 하였고 수염을 깎았으며 3거리에서는 굵은 베로 몸을 동였으며 지붕과 넓은 곳에서는 각기 애통하여 심히 울며 4헤스본과 엘르알레는 부르짖으며 그 소리는 야하스까지 들리니 그러므로 모압의 전사가 크게 부르짖으며 그 혼이 속에서 떨도다 5내 마음이 모압을 위하여 부르짖는도다 그 귀인들은 소알과 에글랏 슬리시야로 도망하여 울며 루힛 비탈길로 올라가며 호로나임 길에서 패망을 부르짖으니 6니므림 물이 마르고 풀이 시들었으며 연한 풀이 말라 청청한 것이 없음이로다 7그러므로 그들이 얻은 재물과 쌓았던 것을 가지고 버드나무 시내를 건너리니 8이는 곡성이 모압 사방에 둘렸고 슬피 부르짖음이 에글라임에 이르며 부르짖음이 브엘엘림에 미치며 9디몬 물에는 피가 가득함이로다 그럴지라도 내가 디몬에 재앙을 더 내리되 모압에 도피한 자와 그 땅의 남은 자에게 사자를 보내리라

1The 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. 2They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off. 3In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly. 4Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them. 5My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction. 6For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing. 7Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows. 8For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim. 9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.

1De last van Moab. Zekerlijk, in den nacht is Ar-Moabs verwoest, zij is uitgeroeid; zekerlijk, in den nacht is Kir-Moabs verwoest, zij is uitgeroeid! 2Hij gaat op naar Baith en Dibon, en naar Bamoth, om te wenen; over Nebo en over Medeba zal Moab huilen; op al hun hoofden is kaalheid, aller baard is afgesneden. 3Op hun wijken hebben zij zakken aangegord; op hun daken en op hun straten huilen zij altemaal, afgaande met geween. 4Zo Hesbon als Eleale schreeuwt, hun stem wordt gehoord tot Jahaz toe; daarom maken de toegerusten van Moab een geschrei, eens iegelijks ziel in hem is kwalijk gesteld. 5Mijn hart schreeuwt over Moab, haar grendelen zijn naar Zoar toe, de driejarige vaars; want hij gaat op met geween naar den opgang van Luhith, want op den weg naar Horonaim verwekken zij een jammergeschrei. 6Want de wateren van Nimrim zullen enkel verwoesting wezen; want het gras is verdord, het tedere gras is vergaan, er is geen groente. 7Daarom zullen zij den overvloed, dien zij vergaderd hebben, en hetgeen zij weggelegd hebben, aan de beek der wilgen voeren. 8Want dat geschreeuw zal omgaan door de landpale van Moab, haar gehuil tot Eglaim toe, ja, tot Beer-Elim toe zal haar gehuil zijn. 9Want de wateren van Dimon zijn vol bloeds, want Ik zal Dimon nog meer toeschikken: te weten leeuwen over de ontkomenen van Moab, mitsgaders over het overblijfsel des lands.
