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 a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

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

²They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

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

³In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

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

⁴Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

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 cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; 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 will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

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

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

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

⁸For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to 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 bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
