1وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ مُوآبَ، إِنَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ خَرِبَتْ عَارُ مُوآبَ وَهَلَكَتْ. إِنَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ خَرِبَتْ قِيرُ مُوآبَ وَهَلَكَتْ.2إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَدِيبُونَ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لِلْبُكَاءِ. تُوَلْوِلُ مُوآبُ عَلَى نَبُو وَعَلَى مَيْدَبَا. فِي كُلِّ رَأْسٍ مِنْهَا قَرْعَةٌ. كُلُّ لِحْيَةٍ مَجْزُوزَةٌ.3فِي أَزِقَّتِهَا يَأْتَزِرُونَ بِمِسْحٍ. عَلَى سُطُوحِهَا وَفِي سَاحَاتِهَا يُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا سَيَّالاً بِالْبُكَاءِ.4وَتَصْرُخُ حَشْبُونُ وَأَلْعَالَةُ. يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُهُمَا إِلَى يَاهَصَ. لِذَلِكَ يَصْرُخُ مُتَسَلِّحُو مُوآبَ. نَفْسُهَا تَرْتَعِدُ فِيهَا.5يَصْرُخُ قَلْبِي مِنْ أَجْلِ مُوآبَ. الْهَارِبِينَ مِنْهَا إِلَى صُوغَرَ كَعِجْلَةٍ ثُلاَثِيَّةٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَصْعَدُونَ فِي عَقَبَةِ اللُّوحِيثِ بِالْبُكَاءِ، لأَنَّهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ حُورُونَايِمَ يَرْفَعُونَ صُرَاخَ الاِنْكِسَارِ.6لأَنَّ مِيَاهَ نِمْرِيمَ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً. لأَنَّ الْعُشْبَ يَبِسَ. الْكَلأُ فَنِيَ. الْخُضْرَةُ لاَ تُوجَدُ.7لِذَلِكَ الثَّرْوَةُ الَّتِي اكْتَسَبُوهَا وَذَخَائِرُهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَهَا إِلَى عَبْرِ وَادِي الصَّفْصَافِ.8لأَنَّ الصُّرَاخَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِتُخُومِ مُوآبَ. إِلَى أَجْلاَيِمَ وَلْوَلَتُهَا. وَإِلَى بِئْرِ إِيلِيمَ وَلْوَلَتُهَا.9لأَنَّ مِيَاهَ دِيمُونَ تَمْتَلِئُ دَماً، لأَنِّي أَجْعَلُ عَلَى دِيمُونَ زَوَائِدَ. عَلَى النَّاجِينَ مِنْ مُوآبَ أَسَداً وَعَلَى بَقِيَّةِ الأَرْضِ.
1The 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;2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.9For 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.
