1 Oráculo contra Moab. Sim, atacada de noite, Ar-Moab foi destruída. Sim, atacada de noite, Quir-Moab foi destruída.

2 O povo de Dibon subiu aos lugares altos para chorar, ao Nebo e ao Medaba: Moab lamenta-se. Todas as cabeças estão raspadas, todas as barbas cortadas.

3 Na rua vestem burel e lamentam-se nos terraços. Tudo geme e se desfaz em pranto.

4 Hesebon e Elale soltam gritos, e sua voz chega até Jasa. Também Moab sente seus rins fremirem e sua alma desfalecer.

5 Do fundo do coração Moab geme, seus fugitivos alcançam Segor em Eglat-Selísia. Sim, a subida de Luit, fazem-na chorando. Sim, pela estrada de Horonaim soltam gritos de aflição.

6 Ah! As águas de Nemrim se esgotaram. A erva secou, a relva murchou, e as plantas não mais existem.

7 Por isso, levam seus bens e suas provisões para além da torrente dos salgueiros.

8 Porque o clamor circula por todas as fronteiras de Moab, suas lamentações ecoam até Eglaim, suas lamentações atingem Beer-Belim.

9 Porque as águas de Dimon estão cheias de sangue porque enviarei sobre Dimon novos infortúnios, um leão contra os remanescentes de Moab e contra os que restarem no país sobrevivente de Adma.

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;*15.1 brought…: or, cut off 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. 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.*15.3 weeping…: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping 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. 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.*15.5 his…: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer*15.5 destruction: Heb. breaking

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.*15.6 desolate: Heb. desolations 7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.*15.7 brook…: or, valley of the Arabians 8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 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.*15.9 more: Heb. additions
