1 The word about Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer; for in a night Kir of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer.2 The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off.3 In their streets they are covering themselves with haircloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their public places, there is crying and bitter weeping.4 Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.5 My heart is crying out for Moab; her people go in flight to Zoar, and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for they go up with weeping by the slope of Luhith; on the way to Horonaim they send up a cry of destruction.6 The waters of Nimrim will become dry: for the grass is burned up, the young grass is coming to an end, every green thing is dead.7 For this cause they will take away their wealth, and the stores they have got together, over the stream of the water-plants.8 For the cry has gone round the limits of Moab; as far as to Eglaim and Beer-elim.9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood: and I'm sending even more on Moab, a lion on those of Moab who go in flight, and on the rest of the land.

1 Onus Moab. [Quia nocte vastata estAr Moab, conticuit ;quia nocte vastatus estmurus Moab, conticuit.2 Ascendit domus,et Dibon ad excelsa,in planctum super Nabo ;et super Medaba, Moab ululavit ;in cunctis capitibus ejus calvitium,et omnis barba radetur.3 In triviis ejus accincti sunt sacco ;super tecta ejus et in plateis ejusomnis ululatus descendit in fletum.4 Clamabit Hesebon et Eleale,usque Jasa audita est vox eorum ;super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt,anima ejus ululabit sibi.5 Cor meum ad Moab clamabit ;vectes ejus usque ad Segor,vitulam conternantem ;per ascensum enim Luithflens ascendet,et in via Oronaimclamorem contritionis levabunt.6 Aqu enim Nemrim desert erunt,quia aruit herba, defecit germen,viror omnis interiit.7 Secundum magnitudinem operis, et visitatio eorum :ad torrentem Salicum ducent eos.8 Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab ;usque ad Gallim ululatus ejus,et usque ad puteum Elim clamor ejus.9 Quia aqu Dibon replet sunt sanguine ;ponam enim super Dibon additamenta ;his qui fugerint de Moab leonem,et reliquiis terr.]
