Profecía sobre Moab

15 (A)Oráculo[a] sobre[b] Moab(B):
«Ciertamente en una noche Ar de Moab fue devastada y destruida(C),
Ciertamente en una noche Kir de Moab fue devastada y destruida.
-»Han subido al templo[c] y a Dibón(D), a los lugares altos a llorar.
Sobre Nebo y sobre Medeba gime Moab;
En todas sus cabezas, calvicie; toda barba, rasurada(E).
-»En sus calles se han ceñido de cilicio(F).
En sus terrados y en sus plazas(G)
Todos gimen, deshechos en lágrimas[d](H).
-»También claman Hesbón y Eleale,
Se oye su voz hasta Jahaza(I).
Por tanto, gritarán los hombres armados[e] de Moab,
Su alma tiembla dentro de ella.
-»Mi corazón clama por Moab.
Sus fugitivos huyen hasta Zoar(J) y Eglat Selisiya,
Y[f] suben la cuesta de Luhit llorando(K).
Ciertamente en el camino a Horonaim dan gritos de angustia por su ruina(L).
-»Porque las aguas de Nimrim se han agotado[g](M),
Ciertamente la hierba está seca, la hierba tierna ha muerto[h],
No hay nada verde(N).
-»Por tanto, la abundancia(O) que han adquirido y almacenado
Se la llevan al otro lado del arroyo Arabim[i].
-»Porque el clamor ha dado vuelta por el territorio de Moab;
Hasta Eglaim llega su gemir, hasta Beer Elim su gemido.
-»Porque las aguas de Dimón están llenas de sangre[j].
Ciertamente añadiré más peligros sobre Dimón:
Un león sobre los fugitivos de Moab y sobre el remanente de la tierra(P).

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.

A Prophecy Against Moab(A)

15 A prophecy(B) against Moab:(C)

Ar(D) in Moab is ruined,(E)
    destroyed in a night!
Kir(F) in Moab is ruined,
    destroyed in a night!
Dibon(G) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places(H) to weep;
    Moab wails(I) over Nebo(J) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved(K)
    and every beard cut off.(L)
In the streets they wear sackcloth;(M)
    on the roofs(N) and in the public squares(O)
they all wail,(P)
    prostrate with weeping.(Q)
Heshbon(R) and Elealeh(S) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(T)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

My heart cries out(U) over Moab;(V)
    her fugitives(W) flee as far as Zoar,(X)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim(Y)
    they lament their destruction.(Z)
The waters of Nimrim are dried up(AA)
    and the grass is withered;(AB)
the vegetation is gone(AC)
    and nothing green is left.(AD)
So the wealth they have acquired(AE) and stored up
    they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(AF) Elim.
The waters of Dimon[a] are full of blood,
    but I will bring still more upon Dimon[b]
a lion(AG) upon the fugitives of Moab(AH)
    and upon those who remain in the land.
