1Prorokovanje o Moabu. Res, po noči bo razdejan Ar Moabov, uničen; da, po noči bo razdejan Kir Moabov, uničen.
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.
2Pojdejo gori v tempelj in v Dibon na višave jokat; nad Nebom in nad Medebo bo tulil Moab, na vseh glavah njegovih bode pleša, ostrižena bo vsaka brada.
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.
3Po ulicah njegovih se bodo opasovali z raševnikom, po strehah njegovih in po trgih njegovih bo vse tulilo, razlivajoč se v solzah.
3In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4In vpil bo Hesbon in Eleale, do Jahaza se bo čul njih glas; zato bodo kričali vojščaki moabski, duša jim bo trepetala.
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.
5Duša moja vpije zaradi Moaba; ubežniki njegovi bežé v Zoar kakor k triletni junici; jokaje stopajo gori po klancu Luhitskem, ker na potu proti Horonaimu vpijejo o pogubi.
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.
6Kajti vode nimrimske se premenijo v puščavo; zakaj trava se je posušila, nežno zelišče vene, ni več zelenjave nobene.
6For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
7Zato odneso ostanek svojega imetja, kolikor so še mogli spraviti, čez Vrbov potok.
7Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows.
8Kajti tisto vpitje se razlega okoli po mejah moabskih, tja do Eglaima stokanje njegovo in do Ber-elima tuljenje njegovo.Kajti vode dimonske so polne krvi; da, jaz pripravim še več nad Dimon: leva za nje, ki beže iz Moaba, in za ostanek v deželi.
8For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim.
9Kajti vode dimonske so polne krvi; da, jaz pripravim še več nad Dimon: leva za nje, ki beže iz Moaba, in za ostanek v deželi.
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.
