1 Regėjimas apie Moabą. Tą naktį, kai Ar Moabas ir Kir Moabas buvo sunaikinti, Moabas žuvo.2 Dibono duktė pakilo į aukštumas raudoti; moabitai rauda dėl Nebojo ir Medebos. Jų visų galvos plaukai nukirpti ir barzdos nuskustos.3 Gatvėse jie vilki ašutinėmis, ant namų stogų ir aikštėse visi rauda ir dejuoja.4 Hešbone ir Elealėje jie taip rauda, kad jų balsas girdėti Jahace; net Moabo kariai šaukia ir dreba.5 Mano širdis liūdi dėl Moabo. Žmonės iš jo bėga į Coarą. Kiti eina taku verkdami į Luhitą. Kelyje į Horonaimą jie rauda, nes visa sunaikinta.6 Nimrimų vandenys išdžiūvo, žolė nuvyto, nauja nebeželia, ir nėra jokios žalumos.7 Visa, kas dar liko, jie nešasi per Karklų upelį.8 Šauksmas girdėti visame Moabo krašte; jis girdimas Eglaimuose ir Berelime.9 Dimono vandenys pilni kraujo. Bet Aš siųsiu Dimonui dar daugiau nelaimių: liūtų Moabo pabėgėliams ir krašte likusiems.

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.
