Isaiah 15
English Standard Version
An Oracle Concerning Moab
15 An (A)oracle concerning (B)Moab.
Because (C)Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone;
because (D)Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone.
2 He has gone up to the temple,[a] and to (E)Dibon,
to the high places[b] to weep;
over (F)Nebo and over (G)Medeba
Moab (H)wails.
On every head is (I)baldness;
every beard is shorn;
3 in the streets they wear sackcloth;
on the housetops and in the squares
everyone wails and melts in tears.
4 (J)Heshbon and (K)Elealeh cry out;
their voice is heard as far as (L)Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
his soul trembles.
5 My heart cries out for Moab;
her fugitives flee to Zoar,
to (M)Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the (N)ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
on the road to (O)Horonaim
they raise a cry of destruction;
6 the waters of (P)Nimrim
are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
the greenery is no more.
7 (Q)Therefore the abundance they have gained
and what they have laid up
they carry away
over the Brook of the Willows.
8 For a cry has gone
around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
9 For the waters of (R)Dibon[c] are full of blood;
for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
(S)a lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.

Profecía acerca de Moab
15 Profecía acerca de Moab.(A)
Es un hecho: durante la noche, Ar de Moab fue totalmente destruida y reducida al silencio.
Es un hecho: durante la noche, Quir de Moab fue totalmente destruida y reducida al silencio.
2 Moab sube a Bayit y a Dibón, lugares altos, para llorar; allí chilla de dolor por Nebo y por Medeba. Toda cabeza en ella es rapada; toda barba es rasurada. 3 Todos andan por las calle vestidos de cilicio; en sus azoteas y en sus plazas aúllan y se deshacen en llanto.
4 Jesbón y Eleale gritan; su voz se oye hasta Yahás. Por eso aúllan los guerreros de Moab; por eso el alma se les estremece.
5 Mi corazón grita por Moab; sus fugitivos huyen hasta Soar, hasta Eglat Selisiyá. Por la cuesta de Luhit van llorando; por el camino de Joronayin lanzan gritos de dolor.
6 Es un hecho: las aguas de Nimrín se consumen; la hierba se seca; los retoños se marchitan; todo el verdor desaparece. 7 Por eso llevan al torrente de los sauces las riquezas que ganaron, junto con sus reservas.
8 Es un hecho: el llanto rodeó los linderos de Moab; hasta Eglayin llegó su alarido, y hasta Ber Elim su clamor.
9 Es un hecho: las aguas de Dimón se llenarán de sangre. Pero yo traeré sobre Dimón males mayores: ¡traeré leones sobre los que se escapen de Moab y sobre los sobrevivientes de la tierra!
Isaiah 15
King James Version
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
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.
