Contra Moab

15 Oráculo sobre Moab:

Que de noche fue asolada,
arrasada Ar Moab.
Que de noche fue asolada,
arrasada Quir Moab.
Ha subido la gente de Dibón
a las alturas sagradas a llorar.
En Nebo y en Madabá
Moab se queja llorosa:
con las cabezas rapadas,
con las barbas afeitadas.
Ceñidos de saco caminan,
por calles, plazas y azoteas;
todos se quejan llorosos,
deshechos todos en llanto.
Gritan Jesbón y Elalé,
hasta Jahas llega su voz;
tiemblan los lomos de Moab,
se le entrecorta el aliento.
Grito angustiado por Moab:
sus fugitivos van a Soar,
van hacia Eglat Salisá.
Por la cuesta de Lujit
sube la gente llorando;
por el camino de Joronáin
se oyen gritos desgarradores.
Las aguas de Nimrín
dan paso a la aridez:
se seca el heno,
se acaba la hierba,
no queda verdor.
Por eso, recogen lo que queda,
van acaparando provisiones,
las transportan al torrente de los Sauces.
Su grito angustiado recorre
todas las fronteras de Moab,
su alarido llega a Egláin,
hasta Beer Elín su clamor.
Rebosan sangre las aguas de Dimón,
y nuevas desgracias traeré a Dimón:
un león contra el resto de Moab,
espanto contra los supervivientes.

15 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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

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.
