1MA ke ku e ia Moaba, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; Auwe oe, e Nebo! no ka mea, ua anaiia oia; ua hoohilahilaia o Kiriataima, a ua pio hoi; ua hoohilahilaia o Misegaba, a ua makau.
2Aole e hookiekie hou ia o Moaba ma Hesebona; na noonoo hewa lakou ia ia; e hele mai. e hooki kakou i kona aupuni ana. E okiia no hoi oe, e Mademena, e hahai no ka pahikaua ia oe.
3He leo no ka uwe ana, mai Horonaima mai, he anaiia, a me ka hiolo nui ana.
4Ua anaiia o Moaba; ua uwe na kamalii uuku a loheia.
5I ka pii ana o Luhita, e pii mai no ka uwe nui ana, a i ka iho ana o Horonaima, ua lohe no na enemi i ka uwe ana o ka make.
6E pee, e malama i ko oukou ola, i like auanei oe me ka mea noho wale o ka waonahele.
7No ka mea, ua hilinai oe i kau mau hana, a i kou waiwai, e pio auanei oe; a e hele aku ko Kemosa iloko o ke pio ana, me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe alii.
8E hele mai no ka mea anai, maluna o na kulanakauhale a pau, aole pakele kekahi kulanakauhale; e make pu no ke awawa, e lukuia hoi ka papu, o like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
9E haawi i eheu no Moaba, i pee aku oia a pakele; no ka mea, e oki loa auanei kona mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea nana e noho maloko.
10E poino auanei ka mea hana molowa i ka hana o Iehova: e poino no hoi ka mea keakea i kona pahikaua i ke koko.
11Ua moe malie o Moaba, mai kona wa opiopio mai, ua laua malie no maluna o kona maku, aole i ukuhiia, mai kekahi hue a i kekahi hue, aole hoi ia i hele iloko o ke pio ana, nolaila i koe mai ia ia kona ono, aole hoi i hoopauia kona ala.

13A e hilahila auanei o Moaba ia Kemosa, e like me ka Iseraela i hilahila ia Betela, i ko lakou mea i hilinai ai.
14Pehea ka oukou olelo ana, He poe kanaka ikaika makou, a koa i ke kaua?
15Ua anaiia o Moaba, a ua pii aku, mai kona kulanakauhale aku, a o kona poe opiopio i waeia, ua iho aku lakou ilalo i ka make, wahi a ke Alii, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
16Ua kokoke no ka poino o Moaba e hiki mai,

18E ke kaikamahine e noho la ma Dibona,
19E ka wahine e noho la ma Aroera,
20Ua hoohilahilaia o Moaba,

25Ua hookiia ka pepeiaohao o Moaba,
26E hoohainu oukou ia ia a ona,
27Aole anei o ka Iseraela he mea henehene nou?
28E ka poe e noho la ma Moaba,
