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

¹The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed!

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

²He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

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

³In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.

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

⁴And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him.

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.

⁵My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

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

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

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

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

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

⁸For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

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

⁹For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.
