1 This is the burden (burden) against Moab (of his father): Ar (a city) in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir (wall) in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night! An oracle concerning Moab. Because Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone; because Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone. A prophecy against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night!
2 Dibon (wasting) goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab (of his father) wails over Nebo (prophet), as well as over Medeba (water of rest). Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off. He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep; over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails. On every head is baldness; every beard is shorn; Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved and every beard cut off.
3 In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping. in the streets they wear sackcloth; on the housetops and in the squares everyone wails and melts in tears. In the streets they wear sackcloth; on the roofs and in the public squares they all wail, prostrate with weeping.
4 Heshbon (stronghold) and Elealeh (God is ascending) cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz (trodden down). Therefore the soldiers of Moab (of his father) cry out; their souls tremble within. Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voice is heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembles. Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out, and their hearts are faint.
5 My heart cries out over Moab (of his father); her fugitives flee as far as Zoar (insignificance), as far as Eglath-shelishiyah (Zoar, like a heifer three years of age.). With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith (tablets); they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim (two caves). My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of destruction; My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the hill to Luhith, weeping as they go; on the road to Horonaim they lament their destruction.
6 The waters of Nimrim (pure) are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more. the waters of Nimrim are a desolation; the grass is withered, the vegetation fails, the greenery is no more. The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left.
7 So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows (Poplars). Therefore the abundance they have gained and what they have laid up they carry away over the Brook of the Willows. So the wealth they have acquired and stored up they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab (of his father). Their wailing reaches Eglaim (double reservoir); it is heard in Beer-elim (well of God). For a cry has gone around the land of Moab; her wailing reaches to Eglaim; her wailing reaches to Beer-elim. Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab; their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim, their lamentation as far as Beer Elim.
9 The waters of Dimon [Dibon] are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon (river bed / silence)—a lion upon the fugitives of Moab (of his father) and upon the remnant of the land. For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; for I will bring upon Dibon even more, a lion for those of Moab who escape, for the remnant of the land. The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring still more upon Dimon — a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon those who remain in the land.
