1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
Ufunuo juu ya Moabu. Maana katika usiku mmoja Ari wa Moabu umeharibiwa kabisa na kuangamizwa; maana katika usiku mmoja Kiri wa Moabu umeharibiwa kabisa na kuangamizwa.
2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
Wanapanda juu hata Bayithi na Diboni, mpaka mahali palipo juu ili walie; juu ya Nebo na juu ya Medeba Wamoabi wanalia; Wana upaa juu ya vichwa vyao vyote; kila ndevu zimenyolewa.
3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
Wanajivika nguo za magunia katika njia kuu zao; juu ya dari zao, na katika mitaa yao, kila mtu analia, anamwaga machozi.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
Heshboni analia na Eleale; mpaka Yahasa sauti ya kulia kwao inasikiwa; hata watu wa Moabu waliovaa silaha wanapiga kelele sana kwa sababu hiyo; nafsi yake inatetemeka ndani yake.
5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
Moyo wangu unamlilia Moabu; wakuu wake wanakimbilia Soari kama ndama wa miaka mitatu; kwa maana wanapanda mbavu za Luhithi wakilia; maana katika njia iendayo hata Horonaimu wanapaliza sauti ya kukata tamaa.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
Kwa maana maji ya Nimrimu yamekuwa mahali palipoharibika, kwa kuwa majani yamekauka, miche imenyauka, majani mabichi yamekoma.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
Kwa hiyo vitu walivyojipatia tele, na akiba yao, wanavichukua hata kijito cha mierebi.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
Maana kilio hicho kimezunguka mipaka ya Moabu, malalamiko yao yamefika hata Eglaimu, na malalamiko yao hata Beer-Elimu.
9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
Maana maji ya Dimoni yamejaa damu; maana ninaweka tayari msiba mpya juu ya Dimoni, simba juu ya watu wa Moabu waliokimbia, na juu ya mabaki yao.
