Isaiah 15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 15
Moab[a]
1 Oracle on Moab:
Laid waste in a night,
Ar of Moab is destroyed;
Laid waste in a night,
Kir of Moab is destroyed.
2 Daughter Dibon has gone up
to the high places to weep;
Over Nebo and over Medeba
Moab is wailing.
Every head is shaved,
every beard sheared off.[b](A)
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth,
and on the rooftops;
In the squares
everyone wails, streaming with tears.(B)
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out,
they are heard as far as Jahaz.
At this the loins of Moab tremble,
his soul quivers within him;(C)
5 My heart cries out for Moab,
his fugitives reach Zoar,
Eglath-shelishiyah:
The ascent of Luhith
they ascend weeping;
On the way to Horonaim
they utter rending cries;(D)
6 The waters of Nimrim
have become a waste,
The grass is withered,
new growth is gone,
nothing is green.
7 So now whatever they have acquired or stored away
they carry across the Wadi of the Poplars.
8 The cry has gone round
the territory of Moab;
As far as Eglaim his wailing,
even at Beer-elim his wailing.
9 [c]The waters of Dimon are filled with blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimon:
Lions for those who are fleeing from Moab
and for those who remain in the land!
Footnotes
- 15:1–16:14 Both the historical situation reflected in this oracle against Moab and the date of composition are uncertain. Variants of the same poem are found in Jer 48, and there are connections with Nm 21:27–30 as well.
- 15:2 Shaved…sheared off: traditional signs of grief.
- 15:9 There is a play on words between “Dimon” and dam, the Hebrew word for blood.
以赛亚书 15
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
預言摩押必傾覆
15 關於摩押的默示：
一夜之間，摩押的亞珥受到蹂躪，就滅亡了！
一夜之間，摩押的基珥受到蹂躪，也滅亡了！
2 他們進入房子（“房子”或譯：“廟宇”），又往底本，上到高處去哭泣，
摩押人為尼波和米底巴哀號；
各人頭上都光禿，鬍鬚剃淨。
3 他們在街上都腰束麻布；
在房頂上，在廣場上，
各人都哀號，流淚痛哭。
4 希實本和以利亞利都呼喊，
他們的聲音達到雅雜，
因此摩押配帶武器的人大聲呼叫，
各人的心都戰兢。
5 我的心為摩押哀號，
它的逃民一直去到瑣珥，如同一頭三歲大的牝牛，要掙脫苦軛，
他們登上魯希的山坡，隨走隨哭，
他們在何羅念的路上，發出滅亡的哀號。
6 因為寧林的眾水都已荒涼，
青草枯乾，嫩草滅沒，
完全沒有青綠之物。
7 所以，他們把所得的和所積蓄的財富，
都帶過了柳樹溪。
8 哀號的聲音傳遍了摩押四境，
哀聲直達以基蓮，又傳到比珥．以琳。
9 底們（按照《死海古卷》和一些古譯本，“底們”作“底本”；“底們”大慨是“底本”的另一種寫法，為使與原文的“血”字更相似；下同）的水充滿了血，
我還要把更多的災禍加給底們，
使獅子臨到摩押逃難的人和那地餘下的人中間。
