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!
2 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)
3 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)
4 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.
5 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)
6 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)
7 So the wealth they have acquired(AE) and stored up
they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
their lamentation as far as Beer(AF) Elim.
9 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.

Proclamation Against Moab
15 The (A)burden[a] against Moab.
Because in the night (B)Ar of (C)Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
2 He has gone up to the [b]temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
(D)On all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, (E)weeping bitterly.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as (F)Jahaz;
Therefore the [c]armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
5 “My(G) heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like [d]a three-year-old heifer.
For (H)by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
6 For the waters (I)of Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
9 For the waters of [e]Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
(J)Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”

Castigo contra Moab
15 Esta es una profecía[a] contra Moab:
En una noche fue arrasada
la riqueza de Ar en Moab.
En una noche fue destruida
la riqueza de Quir[b] en Moab.
2 La gente de Dibón[c] se dirige a los lugares de adoración[d] a llorar.
Moab llora a Nebo y Medeba[e].
Todos se han rapado la cabeza
y afeitado la barba.
3 Van por las calles vestidos con ropas ásperas.
Sueltan todos el llanto en los techos y en las plazas.
4 Hesbón y Elalé dan alaridos que se oyen hasta Yahaza.
Por eso gritan y se acobardan los guerreros de Moab.
5 Mi corazón grita pidiendo ayuda para Moab.
Su gente huye tan lejos como a Zoar[f] y a Eglat Selisiyá.
Suben la cuesta de Luhit y van llorando.
Ante el desastre gritan de dolor por el camino de Joronayin.
6 Se ha secado el arroyo de Nimrín.
El pasto se secó, las plantas se murieron,
no queda nada verde.
7 Por eso recogieron las riquezas que habían reunido
y se las llevaron más allá del arroyo de los Sauces.
8 Todo es gritos en Moab.
Su lamento se oye tan lejos como en Eglayin
e incluso hasta Ber Elín[g].
9 Las aguas de Dimón[h] se llenarán de sangre,
pero le haré más daño a Dimón.
Un león devorará al resto de los que escapen de Moab
y a los que queden en el país.

- 15:1 Ar, Quir Ciudades de Moab.
- 15:2 Dibón Una ciudad del país de Moab. En hebreo este nombre es parecido a la palabra que significa estar muy triste.

- 15:2 Medeba Junto con las otras ciudades mencionadas en este versículo, Dibón y Nebo, quedaba en el país de Moab. Nebo era también el nombre de un dios pagano. Los nombres en hebreo de Dibón y Medeba se parecen a la palabra hebrea que significa estar muy triste.
- 15:5 Zoar Ciudad que quedaba cerca del mar Muerto.
- 15:8 Ber Elín Una ciudad de Moab.

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.
