¹Concerning Moab: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Wo unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.

¹[Faminaniana ny amin'i Moaba] Ny amin'i Moaba. Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Nidiran-doza Nebo, fa rava! Mangaihay Kiriataima, fa afaka; Mangaihay Misgaba sady raiki-tahotra.[Na: ny fiarovana avo]

²There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.

²Tsy misy ho reharehan'i Moaba intsony; Tao Hesbona no niheverany hampididoza aminy hoe: Andeha horavantsika tsy ho firenena izy. Ho ringana koa ianao, ry Madmena, Hanenjika anao ny sabatra.

³A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.

³Injay! misy feo fitarainana ao Horonaima hoe: Fandravana sy fandringanana be!

⁴Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.

⁴Rava Moaba, ny madinika ao dia mamoaka fitarainana.

⁵For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.

⁵Fa miakatra mitomany lalandava eny amin'ny fiakarana Lohita izy; Ary amin'ny fidinana mankany Horonaima no andrenesana fitarainana mafy noho ny fandringanana.

⁶Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.

⁶Mandosira, vonjeo ny ainareo. Ary aoka ho tahaka ny olona mahantra any an-efitra ianareo.[Na: ny anjavidy]

⁷For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.

⁷Fa noho ny nitokianao tamin'ny asanao sy ny rakitrao dia ho voasambotra koa ianao; Ary Kemosy ho lasan-ko babo, dia ny mpisorony sy ny mpanapaka rehetra.

⁸And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.

⁸Ary ny mpandringana ho tonga ao amin'ny tanàna rehetra, ka tsy hisy tanàna tsy ho afaka; Ny lohasaha koa ho simba, ary ny tany lemaka ho rava, araka izay nolazain'i Jehovah.

⁹Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.

⁹Omeo elatra Moaba, fa hanidina izy ka ho lasa; Ary ho lao ny tanànanay, ka tsy hisy mponina.

¹⁰Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.

¹⁰Ho voaozona anie Izay manao tsirambina foana ny asa asain'i Jehovah atao! Eny, ho voaozona anie izay mihazona ny sabany tsy handatsa-drà!

¹¹Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.

¹¹Moaba nandry fahizay hatry ny fony izy mbola kely ka niotrika tao amin'ny faikany, fa tsy naidina nafindrafindra siny, ary tsy mbola lasan-ko babo izy; koa izany no aharetan'ny tsirony ao aminy sy tsy iovan'ny fofony.

¹²Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash in pieces.

¹²Koa, indro, avy ny andro hanirahako mpanohoka ho any aminy, hoy Jehovah, Izay hanohoka azy ka hahafoana ny fitoeran-divainy sady hanorotoro ny sininy.

¹³And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.

¹³Ary Moaba ho menatra noho ny amin'i Kemosy toy ny nahamenaran'ny taranak'Isiraely noho ny amin'i Betela tokiny.

¹⁴How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?

¹⁴Ahoana no anaovanareo hoe: Lehilahy matanjaka sady mahery an'ady izahay?

¹⁵Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

¹⁵Rava Moaba, fa ny tanànany dia efa nanihina. Ary ny zatovony voafantina efa nidina ho any amin'ny famonoana. Hoy ny Mpanjaka, Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no anarany.[Na: efa levon-ko setroka]

¹⁶Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted exceedingly.

¹⁶Efa antomotra ny loza hanjo an'i Moaba, ary mimaona ny fahoriany.

¹⁷Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty.

¹⁷Mitomania azy, ianareo rehetra izay manodidina azy sy ianareo rehetra izay mahalala ny anarany! Eny, manaova hoe: Indrisy! tapaka ny tehina mafy sy ny tsorakazo tsara tarehy!

¹⁸Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.

¹⁸Ry Dibona, zanakavavy mponina, midina miala amin'ny voninahitrao, ka mitoera ao amin'ny tany mangentana, fa ilay mandringana an'i Moaba dia miakatra mamely anao sady mandrava ny fiarovanao.

¹⁹On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened?

¹⁹Ry mponina any Aroera, mijanòna eny an-dalambe, ka mitazàna, ary izay mandositra, na lehilahy na vehivavy, dia anontanio hoe: Nozoin'inona ianareo?

²⁰Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down, Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab,

²⁰Afa-baraka Moaba, eny, raiki-tahotra izy; Midradradradra sy mitaraina, ka ambaraonareo ao Arnona fa rava Moaba.

²¹And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain — unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, and on Mephaath,

²¹Ary ny fitsarana dia miakatra ao amin'ny tany lemaka, dia ao Holona sy Jahaza sy Mefata

²²And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,

²²Sy Dibona sy Nebo sy Beti-diblataima

²³And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,

²³Sy Kiriataima sy Beti-gamola sy Beti-meona

²⁴And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.

²⁴Sy Keriota ary Bozra, eny, ny tanànan'i Moaba rehetra, na ny lavitra na ny akaiky.

²⁵Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been broken, An affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁵Voakapa ny tandrok'i Moaba, ary tapaka koa ny sandriny, hoy Jehovah.

²⁶Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision — even he.

²⁶Ataovy leony izy, fa niavonavona tamin'i Jehovah; Moaba hihosinkosina amin'ny loany sady mba ho tonga fihomehezana kosa.

²⁷And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.

²⁷Fa tsy efa nataonao ho fihomehezana va ny Isiraely? Moa hita fa naman'ny mpangalatra va izy, no dia mihifikifika ianao isaky ny milaza azy?

²⁸Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit`s mouth.

²⁸Ry mponina any Moaba! ilaozy ny tanàna, ka mitoera ao amin'ny harambato, ary aoka ho tahaka ny voromailala izay manao ny akaniny erỳ am-pitan'ny hantsana ianao.

²⁹We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,

²⁹Ffa renay ny fiavonavonan'i Moaba fatra-piavonavona loatra izy dia ny fireharehany sy ny fiavonavonany sy ny fiaingitrainginy ary ny avonavon'ny fony.

³⁰I — I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices — not right they have done.

³⁰Izaho mahalala ny fihoa-bavany sy ny fibedibediny foana, hoy Jehovah; Tsinontsinona ny ataony.

³¹Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab — all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,

³¹Koa hidradradradra noho ny amin'i Moaba aho; Eny, hitomany noho ny amin'i Moaba rehetra aho, ary hitsetra noho ny amin'ny mponina ao Kira-haresa ny olona.

³²With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.

³²Mihoatra noho ny fitomanian'i Jazera no hitomaniako anao, ry voalobok'i Sibma, tafita ny ranomasina ny rantsanao ary tonga hatrany amin'ny ranomasin'i Jazera; Ny mpandripaka dia tonga handripaka ny voankazonao masaka fahavaratra sy ny voalobokao.[Na: fitomaniana an']

³³And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!

³³Ary ny hafaliana sy ny faharavoravoana nesorina tamin'ny saha nahavokatra sy tamin'ny tany Moaba, ary nataoko tankina ny divay tamin'ny vata fanantazana ranom-boaloboka, tsy hisy hihoby amin'ny fanitsakitsahana; Ny fihobiana dia tsy fihobiana akory.

³⁴Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.

³⁴Ny fitarainan'i Hesbona dia re hatrany Elale sy Jahaza. Hatrany Zoara ka hatrany Horonaima sy Eglata-selisia; Fa na dia ny ranon'i Nimrima aza dia ho ritra koa.[Na: ilay ombivavy kely telo taona]

³⁵And I have caused to cease to Moab, An affirmation of Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making perfume to his god.

³⁵Ary hatsahatro ao Moaba koa Izay miakatra hanatitra amin'ny fitoerana avo sy izay mandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an'ny andriamaniny, hoy Jehovah.

³⁶Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.

³⁶Ary noho izany ny foko dia mitomany manao feon-tsodina noho ny amin'i Moaba, ary ny foko mitomany manao feon-tsodina noho ny amin'ny mponina ao Kira-haresa. Eny, noho izany dia levona ny harena be izay nohariny.

³⁷For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins — sackcloth.

³⁷Fa mibory ny loha rehetra. Ary voaharatra ny somotra rehetra, misy tetika amin'ny tanana rehetra sy lamba fisaonana amin'ny valahana.

³⁸On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it — [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.

³⁸Eny, amin'ny tampon-trano rehetra any Moaba sy eny an-kalalahana dia misy fisaonana avokoa; Satria torotoroiko toy ny fanaka tsy mahafinaritra intsony Moaba, hoy Jehovah.

³⁹How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about her.

³⁹Indrisy! raiki-tahotra izy! Midradradradrà! Indrisy! efa miamboho Moaba, mangaihay Izy, ka dia tonga fihomehezana sy fampitahorana ho an'izay rehetra manodidina azy.

⁴⁰For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.

⁴⁰Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hanidina toy ny voromahery izy ka hamelatra ny elany hipaoka an'i Moaba.

⁴¹Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.

⁴¹Afaka ny tanàna, ka azo ny batery fiarovana, ary amin'izany andro izany ny fon'ny lehilahy maherin'i Moaba dia ho tahaka ny fon'ny vehivavy mihetsi-jaza.[Na: keriota]

⁴²And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.

⁴²Ary horavana tsy ho firenena intsony Moaba. Satria niavonavona tamin'i Jehovah izy.

⁴³Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab — an affirmation of Jehovah,

⁴³Tahotra sy lavaka ary fandrika no mahazo anao, ry mponina any Moaba, hoy Jehovah.

⁴⁴Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁴⁴Izay mandositra ny tahotra dia ho latsaka any an-davaka; Ary izay miakatra avy any an-davaka dia ho voan'ny fandrika; Fa hataoko tonga amin'i Moaba ny taona hamaliana azy, hoy Jehovah.

⁴⁵In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.

⁴⁵Ao amin'ny alokalok'i Hesbona no ijanonan'ny mpandositra, satria lany hery ireny; Kanjo misy afo mivoaka avy any Hesbona, ary lelafo avy any Sihona, ka mandevona ny sisin'i Moaba sy ny tampon-dohan'ny mpitabataba.

⁴⁶Wo to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.

⁴⁶Idiran-doza ianao, ry Moaba! Ringana ny olon'i Kemosy! Fa ho babo ny zanakao-lahy, ary ho sambotra ny zanakao-vavy.Nefa mbola hampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoana ihany Moaba any amparany, hoy Jehovah. Hatreto ny amin'ny fitsarana an'i Moaba.

⁴⁷And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.

⁴⁷Nefa mbola hampodiko avy amin'ny fahababoana ihany Moaba any amparany, hoy Jehovah. Hatreto ny amin'ny fitsarana an'i Moaba.
