Ésaïe 15

La Bible du Semeur



1 Oracle sur Moab: En une nuit, ╵la voilà dévastée. Oui, c’en est fait d’Ar en Moab. En une nuit, ╵la voilà dévastée, c’en est fait de Qir en Moab[1]. (Is 16:1; Jr 48:1) 2 Le peuple de Dibôn ╵monte à ses sanctuaires, à ses hauts lieux, ╵afin d’y mener deuil, tout Moab se lamente ╵sur Nébo et sur Médeba[2]: toutes les têtes sont rasées, toutes les barbes sont coupées. (Dt 34:1; 2R 3:4) 3 Dans les rues, on revêt ╵les habits de toile de sac; sur les toits en terrasse ╵et sur les places de la ville, tout le monde soupire ╵et se répand en larmes. 4 A Heshbôn, à Elealé, ╵les gens poussent des cris, on les entend jusqu’à Yahats[3]. Aussi les soldats de Moab ╵se mettent à crier et ils sont tout tremblants. (Nb 21:26) 5 J’appelle à l’aide ╵au sujet de Moab: ses fugitifs se sauvent ╵jusqu’à Tsoar, jusqu’à Eglath-Shelishiya, et ils gravissent en pleurant ╵la montée de Louhith. Sur le chemin d’Horonaïm, ╵ils poussent des cris déchirants: 6 les eaux de Nimrim ont tari et l’herbe est desséchée, la végétation dépérit, toute verdure a disparu[4]. 7 Aussi emportent-ils ╵ce qu’ils ont pu sauver et leurs objets précieux ╵au-delà du torrent des Saules. 8 Car la clameur a fait le tour ╵du territoire de Moab et les lamentations ╵sont entendues à Eglaïm, jusqu’à Beer-Elim[5] ╵retentissent ses hurlements: 9 les eaux de Dimôn[6] sont pleines de sang. Oui, j’infligerai à Dimôn ╵un surcroît de malheur et un lion fondra ╵sur les survivants de Moab, sur ceux qui resteront ╵dans le pays.

Ésaïe 15

English Standard Version



1 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. (Nb 21:15; Nb 21:28; Is 14:28; Is 16:7; Is 16:11; Ez 25:8; Am 2:1; So 2:8) 2 He has gone up to the temple,[1] and to Dibon, to the high places[2] to weep; over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails. On every head is baldness; every beard is shorn; (Nb 21:30; Dt 34:1; Is 3:24; Is 13:6) 3 in the streets they wear sackcloth; on the housetops and in the squares everyone wails and melts in tears. 4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voice is heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembles. (Nb 32:37; Jr 48:34) 5 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; (Is 15:4; Jr 48:5) 6 the waters of Nimrim are a desolation; the grass is withered, the vegetation fails, the greenery is no more. (Nb 32:36) 7 Therefore the abundance they have gained and what they have laid up they carry away over the Brook of the Willows. (Jr 48:36) 8 For a cry has gone around the land of Moab; her wailing reaches to Eglaim; her wailing reaches to Beer-elim. 9 For the waters of Dibon[3] 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. (2R 17:25; Is 15:2; Jr 50:17)
