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.
關於摩押的預言
1以下是關於摩押的預言：
摩押的亞珥城必在一夜之間被摧毀，淪為廢墟；
摩押的基珥城必在一夜之間被摧毀，淪為廢墟。
2摩押人上到神廟，
上到底本的邱壇痛哭。
他們都剃光頭髮，刮掉鬍鬚，
為尼波和米底巴城哀號。
3他們身披麻衣走在街上，
人們在房頂和廣場上號啕大哭。
4希實本人和以利亞利人都在哭喊，
聲音一直傳到雅雜，
因此摩押的戰士大聲喊叫，
膽戰心驚。
5我的心為摩押哀號。
她的人民逃難到瑣珥和伊基拉·施利施亞。
他們上到魯希斜坡，邊走邊哭，
在去何羅念的路上因自己的毀滅而哀哭。
6寧林的河道乾涸，
青草枯萎，植被消失，毫無綠色。
7因此，摩押人把自己積存的財物都運過柳樹河。
8摩押境內哀聲四起，
號啕聲傳到以基蓮，
傳到比珥·以琳。
9底門的河裡流的都是血，
但我還要降更多災難給底門：
獅子必吞噬逃出摩押的人和那裡的餘民。
