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;

1 Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est
Ar Moab, conticuit;
quia nocte vastatus est
murus Moab, conticuit.

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.

2 Ascendit domus,
et Dibon ad excelsa,
in planctum super Nabo;
et super Medaba, Moab ululavit;
in cunctis capitibus ejus calvitium,
et omnis barba radetur.

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.

3 In triviis ejus accincti sunt sacco;
super tecta ejus et in plateis ejus
omnis ululatus descendit in fletum.

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.

4 Clamabit Hesebon et Eleale,
usque Jasa audita est vox eorum;
super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt,
anima ejus ululabit sibi.

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.

5 Cor meum ad Moab clamabit;
vectes ejus usque ad Segor,
vitulam conternantem;
per ascensum enim Luith
flens ascendet,
et in via Oronaim
clamorem contritionis levabunt.

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

6 Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt,
quia aruit herba, defecit germen,
viror omnis interiit.

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

7 Secundum magnitudinem operis, et visitatio eorum:
ad torrentem Salicum ducent eos.

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

8 Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab;
usque ad Gallim ululatus ejus,
et usque ad puteum Elim clamor ejus.

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.

9 Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine;
ponam enim super Dibon additamenta;
his qui fugerint de Moab leonem,
et reliquiis terræ.
