Isaiah 15

The burden of Moab

מַשָּׂא מוֹאָב כִּי בְּלֵיל שֻׁדַּד עָר מוֹאָב נִדְמָה כִּי בְּלֵיל שֻׁדַּד קִיר-מוֹאָב נִדְמָֽה׃
1
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;
עָלָה הַבַּיִת וְדִיבֹן הַבָּמוֹת לְבֶכִי עַל-נְבוֹ וְעַל מֵֽידְבָא מוֹאָב יְיֵלִיל בְּכָל-רֹאשָׁיו קָרְחָה כָּל-זָקָן גְּרוּעָֽה׃
2
He 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.
בְּחוּצֹתָיו חָגְרוּ שָׂק עַל גַּגּוֹתֶיהָ וּבִרְחֹבֹתֶיהָ כֻּלֹּה יְיֵלִיל יֹרֵד בַּבֶּֽכִי׃
3
In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
וַתִּזְעַק חֶשְׁבּוֹן וְאֶלְעָלֵה עַד-יַהַץ נִשְׁמַע קוֹלָם עַל-כֵּן חֲלֻצֵי מוֹאָב יָרִיעוּ נַפְשׁוֹ יָרְעָה לּֽוֹ׃
4
And 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.
לִבִּי לְמוֹאָב יִזְעָק בְּרִיחֶהָ עַד-צֹעַר עֶגְלַת שְׁלִשִׁיָּה כִּי׀ מַעֲלֵה הַלּוּחִית בִּבְכִי יַֽעֲלֶה-בּוֹ כִּי דֶּרֶךְ חוֹרֹנַיִם זַעֲקַת-שֶׁבֶר יְעֹעֵֽרוּ׃
5
My 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.
כִּֽי-מֵי נִמְרִים מְשַׁמּוֹת יִֽהְיוּ כִּֽי-יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר כָּלָה דֶשֶׁא יֶרֶק לֹא הָיָֽה׃
6
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
עַל-כֵּן יִתְרָה עָשָׂה וּפְקֻדָּתָם עַל נַחַל הָעֲרָבִים יִשָּׂאֽוּם׃
7
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
כִּֽי-הִקִּיפָה הַזְּעָקָה אֶת-גְּבוּל מוֹאָב עַד-אֶגְלַיִם יִלְלָתָהּ וּבְאֵר אֵילִים יִלְלָתָֽהּ׃
8
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
כִּי מֵי דִימוֹן מָלְאוּ דָם כִּֽי-אָשִׁית עַל-דִּימוֹן נוֹסָפוֹת לִפְלֵיטַת מוֹאָב אַרְיֵה וְלִשְׁאֵרִית אֲדָמָֽה׃
9
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.
