Isaías 15

1 The burden of Moab.

For in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. 2 They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off. 3 In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly. 4 Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them. 5 My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction. 6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing. 7 Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows. 8 For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim. 9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.

He Poropititanga mō Moapa

1 Ko te poropititanga mō Moapa:

He pō kotahi ka ngaro a Ara o Moapa,

ā, kore iho!

He pō anō hoki, ka ngaro a Kiri o Moapa,

ā, kore iho!

2 Kua riro ia ki runga ki Paiti, ki Ripono,

ki ngā wāhi tiketike tangi ai;

ka auētia e Moapa a Nepo rāua ko Merepa.

He mea moremore katoa ō rātou māhunga,

tapahi rawa ngā kumikumi katoa.

3 Ko ō rātou whītiki i ō rātou ara he kākahu taratara;

ka auē rātou katoa i runga i ō rātou whare,

i ō rātou waharoa,

nui atu te tangi.

4 Ka hāmama hoki a Hehepona rāua ko Ereare;

ka rangona tō rātou reo i Iahata rawa.

Nō reira hāmama ana ngā mau patu o Moapa;

ka wiri tōna wairua i roto i a ia.

5 E tangi ana tōku ngākau ki a Moapa;

rere ana ōna rangatira ki Toara,

ki Ekarata Herihia.

He tangi nei hoki tā rātou i te pikitanga ki Rūhiti,

i te mea e piki ana i reira;

i te ara hoki ki Horonaimi

ka pā tā rātou karanga o te ngaromanga.

6 Ka takoto kau noa ngā wai o Nimirimi;

kua maroke hoki te tarutaru,

kua mate te otaota,

kāhore he mea e tupu ana.

7 Nā, ko ā rātou mea maha,

me ā rātou mea i te rongoā,

ka kawea e rātou ki te awa i ngā wirou.

8 Kua taiāwhiotia hoki

ngā rohe o Moapa e te karanga;

kua tae tōna auē ki Ekeraima,

tōna auē ki Peererimi.

9 Kei te kī hoki ngā wai o Rimono i te toto;

tērā atu tāku e whakapā ai ki Rimono –

he raiona ki ngā oranga o Moapa,

ki ngā mōrehu anō o te whenua.
