Jesaja 15 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Guds dom over Moab

1 Guds budskab om Moab:* På én nat bliver Ar i Moab angrebet og udslettet. På én nat bliver Kir* jævnet med jorden.

2 Dibons indbyggere går op på offerhøjen og græder. I Nebo og Medeba jamrer man: Alle har barberet hår og skæg af i fortvivlelse.

3 I gaderne går folk klædt i sæk og aske, og fra byernes torvepladser og husenes tage høres klage og gråd.

4 Skrigene fra Heshbon og Elale kan høres helt til Jahatz. Selv de stærkeste krigere har mistet modet og ryster af skræk.

5 Mit hjerte græder over Moab, befolkningen flygter til Zoar og Eglat-Shelishija. Grædende begiver de sig op ad vejen til Luhitpasset, deres jamren høres langs vejen til Horonajim.

6 Selv Nimris bæk er udtørret, de græsklædte strækninger er afsvedet, alle planter er væk.

7 De fortvivlede flygtninge slæber deres få ejendele over Poppelbækken.

8 Klageråb lyder over hele landet, fra Eglajim til Be’er-Elim.

9 Bækken ved Dimon er allerede rød af blod, men der kommer mere. Forude venter løverne på de overlevende.

King James Version

1 The 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;

2 He 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.

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

4 And 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.

5 My 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.

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

9 For 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.
