Isaiah 15

massa mo'av ki belel shuddad ar mo'av nidmah ki belel shuddad qir-mo'av nidmah

The “Moab” Pronouncement. Ah, in the night Ar was sacked, Moab was ruined; Ah, in the night Kir was sacked, Moab was ruined.

alah habbayit vedivon habbamot levekhi al-nevo ve'al medeva mo'av yeyelil bekhol-roshayw qorkhah kol-zaqan geru'ah

He went up to the temple to weep, Dibon [went] to the outdoor shrines. Over Nebo and Medeba Moab is wailing; On every head is baldness, Every beard is shorn.

bekhutsotayw khageru saq al gaggoteha uvirkhovoteha kulloh yeyelil yored babbekhi

In its streets, they are girt with sackcloth; On its roofs, in its squares, Everyone is wailing, Streaming with tears.

vattizaq kheshbon ve'elaleh ad-yahats nishma qolam al-ken khalutse mo'av yari'u nafsho yare'ah lo

Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, Their voice carries to Jahaz. Therefore, The shock troops of Moab shout, His body is convulsed.

libbi lemo'av yizaq berikheha ad-tso'ar eglat shelishiyyah ki ma'aleh hallukhit bivkhi ya'aleh-bbo ki derekh khoronayim za'aqat-shever ye'o'eru

My heart cries out for Moab— His fugitives flee down to Zoar, To Eglath-shelishiyah. For the ascent of Luhith They ascend with weeping; On the road to Horonaim They raise a cry of anguish.

ki-me nimrim meshammot yihyu ki-yavesh khatsir kalah deshe yereq lo hayah

Ah, the Waters of Nimrim Are become a desolation; The grass is sear, The herbage is gone, Vegetation is vanished.

al-ken yitrah asah ufequddatam al nakhal ha'aravim yissa'um

Therefore, The gains they have made, and their stores, They carry to the Wadi of Willows.

ki-hiqqifah hazze'aqah et-gevul mo'av ad-eglayim yillatah uve'er elim yillatah

Ah, the cry has compassed The country of Moab: All the way to Eglaim her wailing, Even at Beer-elim her wailing!

ki me dimon male'u dam ki-ashit al-dimon nosafot lifletat mo'av aryeh velisherit adamah

Ah, the waters of Dimon are full of blood For I pour added [water] on Dimon; I drench it—for Moab’s refugees— With soil for its remnant.
