A cause du cri de Hesbon qui est parvenu jusqu’à Elhalé, ils ont jeté leurs cris jusqu’à Jahats; même depuis Tsohar jusqu'à Horonajim, [comme] une génisse de trois ans; car aussi les eaux de Nimrim seront réduites en désolation.
A cause du cri de Hesbon, ils ont fait retentir leurs voix jusqu'à Elhalé, jusqu'à Jahats, de Tsoar jusqu'à Horonaïm, jusqu'à Églath-Shelishija; car aussi les eaux de Nimrim sont devenues des désolations.
Les cris de Hesbon retentissent jusqu'à Elealé, Et ils font entendre leur voix jusqu'à Jahats, Depuis Tsoar jusqu'à Choronaïm, Jusqu'à Eglath-Schelischija; Car les eaux de Nimrim sont aussi ravagées.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh,.... Two cities in the land of Moab; of which see Isaiah 15:4. Heshbon being destroyed, a cry was made by the inhabitants of it, which either reached from thence to Elealeh; or the destruction being carried on to that city, the cry was continued there:
[and even] unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice; another city of Moab; see Isaiah 15:4; which also was laid waste, and where the Moabites uttered their voice of lamentation on account of it:
from Zoar [even] unto Horonaim, [as] an heifer of three years old: that is, as the destruction should go on to Zoar, and so to Horonaim; of which places see Isaiah 15:5; so the cry of the distressed, and of those that flee, should also go from place to place; and be as loud, and as strong, and heard as far, as the lowing of a heifer of three years old. Naturalists l observe, that the voice in all female creatures is smaller and shriller, excepting the ox; for the voices of the females of that creature is stronger than in the males; and also that the taming of these creatures is when they are three years old, that is the proper time; before it is too soon, and afterwards too late m; and then it is their voice is fuller, and their strength firmer, to which the allusion here is; Isaiah 15:5- :;
for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate; being disturbed by the Chaldean army, their horses treading them with their feet, and so fouling them; or being mixed with the blood of the slain, and so unfit to drink. A sad case this, to have neither wine nor water;
Isaiah 15:5- :; to which may be added, that Jerom also makes mention of a village in his time called Benamerium, to the north of Zoar; and seems rather the place intended.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The meaning is that, taking up the lamentation of Heshbon, the Moabites break forth into a wail, heard as far as Elealeh, scarcely two miles distant Numbers 32:37, but thence spreading over the land to towns on the southern and southwestern borders of the land.
An heifer of three years old - Applied in Isaiah 15:5 to Zoar, but here to Horonaim. Some take “an heifer” as a proper name, and render it: “Eglah for the third part” (compare Isaiah 19:24). Zoar, Horonaim, and Eglah formed a tripolis, or confederacy of three towns, and Eglah might therefore be put after either one or the other.
Nimrim - Probably the Wady-en-Nemeirah at the southeastern end of the Dead Sea.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:34. As a heifer of three years old — Which runs lowing from place to place in search of her calf, which is lost or taken from her.
