Isaías 15
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Oracle contre Moab: Oui, dans la nuit, Ar-Moab est assailli, ruiné; oui, dans la nuit, Kir-Moab est assailli, ruiné.
2On monte au sanctuaire, à Dibôn les Hauts-Lieux, pour pleurer; sur Nebo et sur Mèdeba, Moab se lamente. Toutes les têtes sont rasées, toutes les barbes sont coupées.
3Dans les rues, on ceint le cilice; sur les terrasses, sur les places, tout le monde sanglote, fond en larmes.
4Hesbon, Elalê poussent des clameurs; jusqu'à Yahaç leur voix se fait entendre. Aussi les guerriers de Moab éclatent en plaintes, l'âme serrée d'angoisse.
5Mon cœur gémit sur Moab; ses fugitifs courent jusqu'à Çoar et Eglat-Chelichiya; ils gravissent en pleurant la montée de Louhit et, sur la route de Horonaïm, font retentir des clameurs de détresse.
6Les eaux de Nimrim sont taries: les plantes sont desséchées, l'herbe a disparu, il n'y a plus de verdure.
7C'est pourquoi les biens qu'ils avaient amassés, leurs objets précieux, ils les transportent au delà du torrent des saules.
8Une clameur fait le tour des frontières de Moab: hurlements jusqu'à Eglaïm, hurlements jusqu'à Beër-Elim!
9Les eaux de Dimôn sont rouges de sang: voilà comme j'enrichis le cours de Dimôn! Un lion pour les échappés de Moab, pour les survivants du pays!
Reina-Valera 1909
1CARGA de Moab. Cierto, de noche fué destruída Ar-moab, fué puesta en silencio. Cierto, de noche fué destruída Kir-moab, reducida á silencio.
2Subió á Bayith y á Dibón, lugares altos, á llorar; sobre Nebo y sobre Medeba aullará Moab: toda cabeza de ella será raída, y toda barba se mesará.
3Ceñiránse de sacos en sus plazas: en sus terrados y en sus calles aullarán todos, descendiendo en llanto.
4Hesbón y Eleale gritarán, hasta Jahas se oirá su voz: por lo que aullarán los armados de Moab, lamentaráse el alma de cada uno de por sí.
5Mi corazón dará gritos por Moab; sus fugitivos huirán hasta Zoar, como novilla de tres años. Por la cuesta de Luhith subirán llorando, y levantarán grito de quebrantamiento por el camino de Horonaim.
6Las aguas de Nimrim serán consumidas, y secaráse la hierba, marchitaránse los retoños, todo verdor perecerá.
7Por tanto las riquezas que habrán adquirido, y las que habrán reservado, llevaránlas al torrente de los sauces.
8Porque el llanto rodeó los términos de Moab; hasta Eglaim llegó su alarido, y hasta Beer-elim su clamor.
9Y las aguas de Dimón se henchirán de sangre: porque yo pondré sobre Dimón añadiduras, leones á los que escaparen de Moab, y á las reliquias de la tierra.
King James Version
1The 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;
2He 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.
3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4And 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.
5My 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.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
9For 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.
World English Bible
1The 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.
2They 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.
3In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.
5My 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.
6For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
7Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows.
8For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim.
9For 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.
