New International Reader's Version NIRV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Here is a message the LORD gave me about Moab. The city of Ar in Moab is destroyed. It happened in a single night. Kir in Moab is also destroyed. It happened in a single night.
1
onus Moab quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab conticuit quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab conticuit
2 The people of Dibon go up to their temple to worship. They go to their high places to sob. The people of Moab cry over the cities of Nebo and Medeba. All of their heads are shaved. All of their beards have been cut off.
2
ascendit domus et Dibon ad excelsa in planctum super Nabo et super Medaba Moab ululabit in cunctis capitibus eius calvitium omnis barba radetur
3 In the streets they wear black clothes. On their roofs and in the market places all of them are crying. They fall down flat with their faces toward the ground. And they sob.
3
in triviis eius accincti sunt sacco super tecta eius et in plateis eius omnis ululat descendit in fletum
4 The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out. Their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. So the fighting men of Moab cry out. Their hearts are weak.
4
clamavit Esebon et Eleale usque Iasa audita est vox eorum super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt anima eius ululabit sibi
5 My heart cries out over Moab. Some who run away get as far as Zoar. Others run all the way to Eglath Shelishiyah. Others go up the road to Luhith. They are sobbing as they go. Still others travel the road to Horonaim. They sing a song of sadness because their town is being destroyed.
5
cor meum ad Moab clamabit vectes eius usque ad Segor vitulam conternantem per ascensum enim Luith flens ascendet et in via Oronaim clamorem contritionis levabunt
6 The waters at Nimrim are dried up. And so is the grass. The plants have died. Nothing green is left.
6
aquae enim Nemrim desertae erunt quia aruit herba defecit germen viror omnis interiit
7 The people are trying to escape through the Valley of the Poplar Trees. They are carrying with them the wealth they have collected and stored up.
7
secundum magnitudinem operis et visitatio eorum ad torrentem salicum ducent eos
8 Their loud cries echo along the border of Moab. They reach as far as Eglaim. Their songs of sadness reach all the way to Beer Elim.
8
quoniam circumiit clamor terminum Moab usque ad Gallim ululatus eius et usque ad puteum Helim clamor eius
9 The waters of the city of Dimon are full of blood. But the LORD will bring even more trouble on Dimon. He will bring lions against those who run away from Moab. They will also attack those who remain in the land.
9
quia aquae Dibon repletae sunt sanguine ponam enim super Dibon additamenta his qui fugerint de Moab leonem et reliquiis terrae
