1 C ARGA de Moab.

The oracle concerning Moab. Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined; Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

2 S ubió 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.

They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone’s head is bald and every beard is cut off.

3 C eñiránse de sacos en sus plazas: en sus terrados y en sus calles aullarán todos, descendiendo en llanto.

In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth; On their housetops and in their squares Everyone is wailing, dissolved in tears.

4 H esbón 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.

Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him.

5 M i 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.

My heart cries out for Moab; His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.

6 L as aguas de Nimrim serán consumidas, y secaráse la hierba, marchitaránse los retoños, todo verdor perecerá.

For the waters of Nimrim are desolate. Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass died out, There is no green thing.

7 P or tanto las riquezas que habrán adquirido, y las que habrán reservado, llevaránlas al torrente de los sauces.

Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of Arabim.

8 P orque el llanto rodeó los términos de Moab; hasta Eglaim llegó su alarido, y hasta Beer-elim su clamor.

For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

9 Y 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.

For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon, A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
