Isaias 15

1 Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit ; quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit.

1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, it is silent: because the wall of Moab is destroyed in the night, it is silent.

2 Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa, in planctum super Nabo ; et super Medaba, Moab ululavit ; in cunctis capitibus ejus calvitium, et omnis barba radetur.

2 The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places to mourn over Nabo, and over Medaba, Moab hath howled: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.

3 In triviis ejus accincti sunt sacco ; super tecta ejus et in plateis ejus omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.

3 In their streets they are girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets all shall howl and come down weeping.

4 Clamabit Hesebon et Eleale, usque Jasa audita est vox eorum ; super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima ejus ululabit sibi.

4 Hesebon shall cry, and Eleale, their voice is heard even to Jasa. For this shall the well appointed men of Moab howl, his soul shall howl to itself.

5 Cor meum ad Moab clamabit ; vectes ejus usque ad Segor, vitulam conternantem ; per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet, et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt.

5 My heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof shall flee unto Segor a heifer of three years old: for by the ascent of Luith they shall go up weeping: and in the way of Oronaim they shall lift up a cry of destruction.

6 Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit.

6 For the waters of Nemrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away, the spring is faded, all the greenness is perished.

7 Secundum magnitudinem operis, et visitatio eorum : ad torrentem Salicum ducent eos.

7 According to the greatness of their work, is their visitation also: they shall lead them to the torrent of the willows.

8 Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab ; usque ad Gallim ululatus ejus, et usque ad puteum Elim clamor ejus.

8 For the cry is gone round about the border of Moab: the howling thereof unto Gallim, and unto the well of Elim the cry thereof.

9 Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine ; ponam enim super Dibon additamenta ; his qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terræ.

9 For the waters of Dibon are filled with blood: for I will bring more upon Dibon: the lion upon them that shall flee of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
