1The burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed,1A pronouncement concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night. Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night.
2He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, To the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off.2Dibon went up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails on Nebo and at Medeba. Every head is shaved; every beard is chopped short.
3In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses And in their streets Everyone will wail, weeping bitterly.3In its streets they wear sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails, falling down and weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, Their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz; Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out; His life will be burdensome to him.4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out, and they tremble.
5“My heart will cry out for Moab; His fugitives shall flee to Zoar, Like a three-year-old heifer. For by the Ascent of Luhith They will go up with weeping; For in the way of Horonaim They will raise up a cry of destruction,5My heart cries out over Moab, whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah; they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping; they raise a cry of destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, For the green grass has withered away; The grass fails, there is nothing green.6The Waters of Nimrim are desolate; the grass is withered, the foliage is gone, and the vegetation has vanished.
7Therefore the abundance they have gained, And what they have laid up, They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.7So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Wadi of the Willows.
8For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab, Its wailing to Eglaim And its wailing to Beer Elim.8For their cry echoes throughout the territory of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; their wailing reaches Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dimon will be full of blood; Because I will bring more upon Dimon, Lions upon him who escapes from Moab, And on the remnant of the land.”9The Waters of Dibon are full of blood, but I will bring on Dibon even more than this--a lion for those who escape from Moab, and for the survivors in the land.
