¹The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought.

¹Ennustus Moabi kohta: Tõesti, ühel ööl on Moabi Aar hävitatud, vaikima pandud. Tõesti, ühel ööl on Moabi Kiir hävitatud, vaikima pandud.

²They are gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab waileth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

²Ka Diibon läheb üles templisse, ohvriküngastele nutma, Nebol ja Meedebal ulub Moab. Kõigil on pead pöetud ja kõik habemed on ära aetud.

³In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one waileth, weeping abundantly.

³Tänavail pannakse kotiriie selga, katustel ja turgudel uluvad kõik, upuvad pisaraisse.

⁴And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him.

⁴Hesbon ja Elaale kisendavad appi, Jahaseni kostab nende hääl; seepärast lõdisevad Moabi niuded, väriseb ta hing.

⁵My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles [flee] unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

⁵Mu süda kisendab Moabi pärast. Ta põgenikud põgenevad Soarini, Eglat-Selisijani. Jah, mööda Luuhiti tõusuteed minnakse nuttes üles, jah, Hooronaimi teel tõstetakse hädakisa hävingu pärast.

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

⁶Sest Nimrimi veed muutuvad kõrbeks; jah, rohi kuivab, taimkate kaob, haljust ei ole enam.

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

⁷Seepärast nad viivad oma kogutud vara ja nende poolt tallelepandu üle Remmelgajõe.

⁸For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing thereof unto Eglaim, and the wailing thereof unto Beer-elim.

⁸Jah, appihüüd kajab Moabimaal; ta hädakisa kostab Eglaimini, ta hädakisa kostab Beer-Eelimini.

⁹For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon them of Moab that escape, and upon the remnant of the land.

⁹Jah, Diimoni veed on täis verd. Aga veel muudki ma saadan Diimonile: lõvi Moabi pääsenute ja maale jäänute kallale.
