¹Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

¹O Moabu. Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Gorje Nebu! kajti opustošeno je. Osramočen, vzet je Kirjataim; osramočena je trdnjava na visočini in zbegana.

²There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.

²Nobene slave ni Moabu več. V Hesbonu izmišljajo hudo zoper njega: „Pridite in iztrebimo ga, da ne bode več narod!“ Tudi ti, Madmen, boš uničen; meč pojde za teboj.

³A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

³Čuj! vpitje od Horonaima: Opustošenje in podrtje veliko!

⁴Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

⁴Polomljen je Moab; vpitje zaganjajo otročiči njegovi.

⁵For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

⁵Kajti po klancu ob Luhitu bodo stopali navzgor z neprestanim jokom; zakaj po potu doli v Horonaim se je slišalo vpitje v strahu o razdejanju.

⁶Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

⁶Bežite, rešite si življenje ter bodite kakor golo drevo v puščavi!

⁷For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

⁷Kajti zato, ker ti je bilo upanje v delih tvojih in zakladih tvojih, boš tudi ti ujet; ven pojde Kamos [Kamos je bil bog Moabcev.] v pregnanstvo, duhovniki njegovi in knezi njegovi vsi skupaj.

⁸And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.

⁸In pride razdejalec zoper vsako mesto, nobeno se ne reši; in dolina bo ugonobljena in ravan pogubljena, kakor je govoril GOSPOD.

⁹Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

⁹Dajte Moabu peruti, da leteč odide; kajti mesta njegova bodo zapuščena, da ne bo nihče prebival v njih.

¹⁰Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

¹⁰Proklet, kdor opravlja delo GOSPODOVO nemarno, in proklet, kdor meč svoj zadržuje od krvi!

¹¹Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

¹¹Brezskrbno je živel Moab od mladosti svoje in mirno je sedel na svojih drožeh, in ni se prelival iz posode v posodo in v pregnanstvo ni šel nikdar: zato je ostal okus njegov v njem in duh njegov se ni izpremenil.

¹²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

¹²Zatorej, glej, pridejo dnevi, govori GOSPOD, ko pošljem nadenj tiste, ki izlivajo posode, in ga izlijejo, in izpraznijo posode njegove in razdrobé vrče njegove.

¹³And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

¹³Tedaj se bo sramoval Moab Kamosa, kakor se je sramovala hiša Izraelova Betela, ki so vanj upali.

¹⁴How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

¹⁴Kako govorite: Junaki smo in možje vrli v vojski?

¹⁵Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

¹⁵Opustošen je Moab, na gradove njegove so zlezli sovražniki, in izbrani mladeniči njegovi so šli doli v klanje, govori Kralj, ki mu je ime GOSPOD nad vojskami.

¹⁶The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

¹⁶Blizu je poguba Moabova, da pride, in nesreča njegova hiti silno.

¹⁷All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

¹⁷Žalujte nad njim, kateri bivate okoli njega, in vsi, ki poznate ime njegovo, govorite: Kako je zlomljeno žezlo tako močno, palica veličastna!

¹⁸Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.

¹⁸Stopi doli s slave svoje in sedi v žejnem kraju, o hči, ki prebivaš v Dibonu! kajti razdejalec Moabov je prišel gori zoper tebe, je podrl trdnjave tvoje.

¹⁹O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

¹⁹Poleg pota se postavi in opazuj, prebivalka aroerska, poprašuj bežečega in ženo, ki se otimlje, in reci: Kaj se je zgodilo?

²⁰Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

²⁰Sramuje se Moab, ker je potrt. Tulite in vpijte, oznanjujte pri Arnonu, da je Moab opustošen.

²¹And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

²¹In sodba je prišla nad deželo ravnine, nad Holon in nad Jahzo in nad Mefaat,

²²And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

²²in nad Dibon in nad Nebo in nad Bet-diblataim

²³And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

²³in nad Kirjataim in nad Bet-gamul in nad Bet-meon

²⁴And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

²⁴in nad Kerjot in nad Bozro in nad vsa mesta dežele Moabove, daljna in bližnja.

²⁵The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

²⁵Odsekal se je rog Moabu in rama njegova se je zlomila, govori GOSPOD.

²⁶Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

²⁶Upijanite ga, ker se je poveličeval zoper GOSPODA, da naj se valja po tem, kar izbljuje, in bode v posmeh tudi sam.

²⁷For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

²⁷Ali ti ni bil v posmeh Izrael? ali je bil zasačen med tatovi, da si zmajeval z glavo, kadar koli si govoril o njem?

²⁸O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.

²⁸Zapustite mesta in prebivajte v skalah, o prebivalci na Moabskem, in bodite podobni golobu, ki gnezdi ob robu prepada.

²⁹We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

²⁹Čuli smo prevzetnost Moabovo, da je silno ošaben, visokost njegovo in oholost in nadutost njegovo in kako se mu je srce poviševalo.

³⁰I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

³⁰Jaz poznam, govori GOSPOD, togoto njegovo in ničevo bahanje njegovo; nepošteno je delal.

³¹Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

³¹Zato tulim zavoljo Moaba in zavoljo vsega Moaba vpijem; zaradi mož v Kir-heresu zdihujejo.

³²O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

³²Bolj nego nad Jazerjem se jokam nad teboj, o trta v Sibmi! odrastki tvoji so šli čez morje, prav do morja Jazerskega so segali. Nad poletno sadje tvoje in nad trgatev tvojo je planil razdejalec,

³³And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

³³in veselje je izginilo in radost z rodovitne njive in iz dežele Moabove. Storil sem, da je minilo vino iz kadi; tlačili ne bodo več vriskaje: vriskanje ne bode več vriskanje.

³⁴From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

³⁴V Hesbonu so vpili in tja do Eleala, tja do Jahaza se je razlegal njih glas, od Zoarja do Horonaima, do Eglat-šelišije; kajti tudi vode nimrimske se izpremene v pustinjo.

³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

³⁵In storim, da pogine v Moabu, govori GOSPOD, kdor daruje na višavi in kdor kadi bogovom svojim.

³⁶Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

³⁶Zato poje žalno srce moje kakor piščali zavoljo Moaba, in srce moje žalno piska zavoljo ljudi v Kir-heresu, ker se pogubi zaloga, ki jo je nahranil.

³⁷For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

³⁷Kajti vsaka glava ima plešo in vsaka brada je ostrižena; po vseh rokah so zareze in na ledjih raševina.

³⁸There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.

³⁸Po vseh strehah Moabovih in po ulicah njegovih je zgolj žalovanje; kajti strl sem Moaba kakor posodo, ki ni nobenega veselja v njej, govori GOSPOD.

³⁹They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

³⁹Kako je potrt! kako tulijo! Kako je obrnil Moab tilnik v sramoti! Tako bode Moab v posmeh in v strmenje vsem, ki prebivajo okoli njega.

⁴⁰For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

⁴⁰Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, orlu podoben prileti sovražnik in peruti svoje razpne čez Moaba.

⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

⁴¹Kerjot je vzet in trdnjave so zasedene; in srce junakov v Moabu bo tisti dan kakor srce žene, ki trpi porodne bolečine.

⁴²And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.

⁴²In pokončan bo Moab, da ne bode ljudstvo, ker se je poveličeval zoper GOSPODA.

⁴³Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

⁴³Groza in jama in zanka ti preté, o prebivalec v Moabu! govori GOSPOD.

⁴⁴He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

⁴⁴Kdor ubeži grozi, pade v jamo, in kdor prileze iz jame, se ujame v zanko; kajti privedem nanj, na Moaba, leto njegovega obiskovanja, govori GOSPOD.

⁴⁵They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

⁴⁵V senci hesbonski stoje brezmočni tisti, ki so bežali pred silo; ali ogenj pride iz Hesbona in plamen izsredi Sihona, ki pokonča stran Moaba in teme njih, ki samo ropotajo.

⁴⁶Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

⁴⁶Gorje ti, o Moab! ljudstvo Kamosovo pogine; kajti sinovi tvoji bodo vlečeni v ujetništvo in hčere tvoje v sužnost. –Vendar pripeljem nazaj ujetnike Moabove v poslednjih dneh, govori GOSPOD. Dotlej sodba Moabova.

⁴⁷Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

⁴⁷Vendar pripeljem nazaj ujetnike Moabove v poslednjih dneh, govori GOSPOD. Dotlej sodba Moabova.
