¹The 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;

¹Prorokovanje o Moabu. Res, po noči bo razdejan Ar Moabov, uničen; da, po noči bo razdejan Kir Moabov, uničen.

²He 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.

²Pojdejo gori v tempelj in v Dibon na višave jokat; nad Nebom in nad Medebo bo tulil Moab, na vseh glavah njegovih bode pleša, ostrižena bo vsaka brada.

³In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

³Po ulicah njegovih se bodo opasovali z raševnikom, po strehah njegovih in po trgih njegovih bo vse tulilo, razlivajoč se v solzah.

⁴And 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.

⁴In vpil bo Hesbon in Eleale, do Jahaza se bo čul njih glas; zato bodo kričali vojščaki moabski, duša jim bo trepetala.

⁵My 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.

⁵Duša moja vpije zaradi Moaba; ubežniki njegovi bežé v Zoar kakor k triletni junici; jokaje stopajo gori po klancu Luhitskem, ker na potu proti Horonaimu vpijejo o pogubi.

⁶For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

⁶Kajti vode nimrimske se premenijo v puščavo; zakaj trava se je posušila, nežno zelišče vene, ni več zelenjave nobene.

⁷Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

⁷Zato odneso ostanek svojega imetja, kolikor so še mogli spraviti, čez Vrbov potok.

⁸For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

⁸Kajti tisto vpitje se razlega okoli po mejah moabskih, tja do Eglaima stokanje njegovo in do Ber-elima tuljenje njegovo.Kajti vode dimonske so polne krvi; da, jaz pripravim še več nad Dimon: leva za nje, ki beže iz Moaba, in za ostanek v deželi.

⁹For 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.

⁹Kajti vode dimonske so polne krvi; da, jaz pripravim še več nad Dimon: leva za nje, ki beže iz Moaba, in za ostanek v deželi.
