A prophecy against Moab
1A prophecy against Moab:
Ar in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
2Dibon goes up to its temple,
to its high places to weep;
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba.
Every head is shaved
and every beard cut off.
3In the streets they wear sackcloth;
on the roofs and in the public squares
they all wail,
prostrate with weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out,
their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
and their hearts are faint.
5My heart cries out over Moab;
her fugitives flee as far as Zoar,
as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim
they lament their destruction.
6The waters of Nimrim are dried up
and the grass is withered;
the vegetation is gone
and nothing green is left.
7So the wealth they have acquired and stored up
they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
their lamentation as far as Beer Elim.
9The waters of Dimon15:9 Dimon, a wordplay on Dibon (see verse 2), sounds like the Hebrew for blood. are full of blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimon15:9 Dimon, a wordplay on Dibon (see verse 2), sounds like the Hebrew for blood. –
a lion upon the fugitives of Moab
and upon those who remain in the land.
关于摩押的预言
1以下是关于摩押的预言：
摩押的亚珥城必在一夜之间被摧毁，沦为废墟；
摩押的基珥城必在一夜之间被摧毁，沦为废墟。
2底本城的人上到神庙，
到他们的丘坛痛哭。
摩押人都剃光头发，
刮掉胡须，
为尼波和米底巴城哀号。
3他们身披麻衣走在街上，
房顶和广场上都传出号啕大哭的声音。
4希实本人和以利亚利人都哭喊，
声音一直传到雅杂，
因此摩押的战士大声喊叫，
胆战心惊。
5我为摩押感到悲哀。
她的人民逃难到琐珥和伊基拉·施利施亚。
他们上到鲁希斜坡，边走边哭，
在去何罗念的路上为自己的不幸哀哭。
6宁林的河道干涸，
青草枯萎，植被消失，毫无绿色。
7因此，摩押人把自己积存的财物都运过柳树河。
8摩押境内哀声四起，
号啕声传到以基莲，
传到比珥·以琳。
9底门的河里流的都是血，
但我还要降更多灾难给底门：
狮子必吞噬逃出摩押的人和那里的余民。
