| 1 τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ κατὰ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος νυκτὸς ἀπολεῖται ἡ Μωαβῖτις νυκτὸς γὰρ ἀπολεῖται τὸ τεῖχος τῆς Μωαβίτιδος 2 λυπεῖσθε ἐ{F'} ἑαυτοῖς ἀπολεῖται γὰρ καὶ Δηβων οὗ ὁ βωμὸς ὑμῶν ἐκεῖ ἀναβήσεσθε κλαίειν ἐπὶ Ναβαυ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος ὀλολύζετε ἐπὶ πάσης κεφαλῆς φαλάκρωμα πάντες βραχίονες κατατετμημένοι 3 ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόπτεσθε ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις αὐτῆς πάντες ὀλολύζετε μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ 4 ὅτι κέκραγεν Εσεβων καὶ Ελεαλη ἕως Ιασσα ἠκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν διὰ τοῦτο ἡ ὀσφὺς τῆς Μωαβίτιδος βοᾷ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς γνώσεται | 1 What burden for Moab? Ar Moab has fallen in a night, and all is still; Moab’s battlements have fallen in a night, and all is still! 2 Prince[1] and people of Dibon have gone up to the hill-shrines to lament; on Nabo and on Medaba, Moab cries aloud, every head cropped, every beard shaved in mourning. 3 In the streets, men walk girded with sackcloth; house-top and square echo with loud crying, that breaks into tears. 4 The dirge goes up from Hesebon and Eleale, so loud that Jasa hears it; well may the warriors of Moab cry out; the very soul of Moab utters a cry. | 1 Onus Moab. Quia nocte vastata est Ar Moab, conticuit; quia nocte vastatus est murus Moab, conticuit. Ascendit domus, et Dibon ad excelsa, in planctum super Nabo; et super Medaba, Moab ululavit; in cunctis capitibus ejus calvitium, et omnis barba radetur. In triviis ejus accincti sunt sacco; super tecta ejus et in plateis ejus omnis ululatus descendit in fletum. Clamabit Hesebon et Eleale, usque Jasa audita est vox eorum; super hoc expediti Moab ululabunt, anima ejus ululabit sibi. |
| 5 ἡ καρδία τῆς Μωαβίτιδος βοᾷ ἐν αὐτῇ ἕως Σηγωρ δάμαλις γάρ ἐστιν τριετής ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναβάσεως τῆς Λουιθ πρὸς σὲ κλαίοντες ἀναβήσονται τῇ ὁδῷ Αρωνιιμ βοᾷ σύντριμμα καὶ σεισμός 6 τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς Νεμριμ ἔρημον ἔσται καὶ ὁ χόρτος αὐτῆς ἐκλείψει χόρτος γὰρ χλωρὸς οὐκ ἔσται 7 μὴ καὶ οὕτως μέλλει σωθῆναι ἐπάξω γὰρ ἐπὶ τὴν φάραγγα Ἄραβας καὶ λήμψονται αὐτήν 8 συνῆψεν γὰρ ἡ βοὴ τὸ ὅριον τῆς Μωαβίτιδος τῆς Αγαλλιμ καὶ ὀλολυγμὸς αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ Αιλιμ 9 τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ τὸ Ρεμμων πλησθήσεται αἵματος ἐπάξω γὰρ ἐπὶ Ρεμμων Ἄραβας καὶ ἀρῶ τὸ σπέρμα Μωαβ καὶ Αριηλ καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον Αδαμα | 5 My heart laments for Moab, once ringed with walled cities as far as Segor; Segor that now moans like a full-grown heifer.[2] There is weeping on the slopes of Luith; along the Oronaim road they wail aloud for misery. 6 The waters of Nemrim will turn into desert; old grass has withered, new grass has failed, and their banks are green no more. 7 Heavy their reckoning, to match the abundance of their riches; a nation in exile, carried away to the Vale of Willows.[3] 8 A cry goes up all about the frontiers of Moab; Gallim echoes the lament, and the well of Elim hears the sound of it. 9 Dibon’s waters already swollen with blood; and still for Dibon I have perils in store, lions to meet the fugitives, the remnant that is left in the land of Moab.[4] | 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. Aquæ enim Nemrim desertæ erunt, quia aruit herba, defecit germen, viror omnis interiit. Secundum magnitudinem operis, et visitatio eorum: ad torrentem Salicum ducent eos. Quoniam circuivit clamor terminum Moab; usque ad Gallim ululatus ejus, et usque ad puteum Elim clamor ejus. Quia aquæ Dibon repletæ sunt sanguine; ponam enim super Dibon additamenta; his qui fugerint de Moab leonem, et reliquiis terræ. |
[1] ‘Prince’; literally, ‘the house’, unless the word conceals a proper name, but it seems likely that the text here is corrupt.
[2] Literally, in the Latin, ‘My heart laments for Moab; its bars reach as far as Segor, a calf of three years old’. Some think the word ‘bars’ should be ‘fugitives’, by a different understanding of the Hebrew text, and it is possible that the ‘calf of three years old’ conceals a proper name.
[3] In the Hebrew text, the first half of this verse is generally understood to mean ‘What remains of their abundance, their store’, and it is this which is carried away to the ‘Vale of Willows’ in an effort to save it. St Jerome understands that the inhabitants themselves are carried away to the ‘Vale of Willows’, possibly with a reference to Ps. 136.2.
[4] The reference to fresh troubles soon to arise may be compared with 14.29 above, though it is not certain that the events dealt with in the two passages are contemporary.
