以赛亚书 23
1 论泰尔的默示： 他施的船只都要哀号； 因为泰尔变为荒场， 甚至没有房屋，没有可进之路。 这消息是从基提地得来的。
THE WORD CONCERNING TYRE. Howl, ye ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and [men] no longer arrive from the land of the Citians: she is led captive.
2 沿海的居民， 就是素来靠航海西顿的商家得丰盛的， 你们当静默无言。
To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Phoenice, passing over the sea
3 在大水之上， 西曷的粮食、 尼罗河的庄稼是泰尔的进项； 她作列国的大码头。
in great waters, a generation of merchants? as when the harvest is gathered in, [so are] these traders with the nations.
4 西顿哪，你当惭愧； 因为大海说， 就是海中的保障说： 我没有劬劳，也没有生产， 没有养育男子，也没有抚养童女。
Be ashamed, O Sidon: the sea has said, yea, the strength of the sea has said, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, nor have I brought up young men, nor reared virgins.
5 这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
Moreover when it shall be heard in Egypt, sorrow shall seize them for Tyre.
6 泰尔人哪，你们当过到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你们都当哀号。
Depart ye to Carthage; howl, ye that dwell in this island.
7 这是你们欢乐的城， 从上古而有的吗？ 其中的居民往远方寄居。
Was not this your pride from the beginning, before she was given up?
8 泰尔本是赐冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的买卖人是世上的尊贵人。 遭遇如此是谁定的呢？
Who has devised this counsel against Tyre? Is she inferior? or has she no strength? her merchants were the glorious princes of the earth.
9 是万军之耶和华所定的！ 为要污辱一切高傲的荣耀， 使地上一切的尊贵人被藐视。
The Lord of hosts has purposed to bring down all the pride of the glorious ones, and to disgrace every glorious thing on the earth.
10 他施的民哪， 可以流行你的地，好像尼罗河； 不再有腰带拘紧你。
Till thy land; for ships no more come out of Carthage.
11 耶和华已经向海伸手， 震动列国。 至于迦南， 他已经吩咐拆毁其中的保障。
And thy hand prevails no more by sea, which troubled kings: the Lord of hosts has given a command concerning Chanaan, to destroy the strength thereof.
12 他又说：受欺压西顿的居民哪， 你必不得再欢乐。 起来！过到基提去； 就是在那里也不得安歇。 （
And [men] shall say, Ye shall no longer at all continue to insult and injure the daughter of Sidon: and if thou depart to the Citians, neither there shalt thou have rest.
13 看哪，迦勒底人之地向来没有这民，这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的。现在他们建筑戍楼，拆毁泰尔的宫殿，使她成为荒凉。）
And [if thou depart] to the land of the Chaldeans, this also is laid waste by the Assyrians, for her wall is fallen.
14 他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
Howl, ye ships of Carthage: for your strong hold is destroyed.
15 到那时，泰尔必被忘记七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年后，泰尔的景况必像妓女所唱的歌：
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Tyre shall be left seventy years, as the time of a king, as the time of a man: and it shall come to pass after seventy years, [that] Tyre shall be as the song of a harlot.
16 你这被忘记的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城内， 巧弹多唱，使人再想念你。
Take a harp, go about, O city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; play well on the harp, sing many [songs], that thou mayest be remembered.
17 七十年后，耶和华必眷顾泰尔，她就仍得利息，与地上的万国交易。
And it shall come to pass after the seventy years, [that] God will visit Tyre, and she shall be again restored to her primitive state, and she shall be a mart for all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
18 她的货财和利息要归耶和华为圣，必不积攒存留；因为她的货财必为住在耶和华面前的人所得，使他们吃饱，穿耐久的衣服。
And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, [even] all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a covenant [and] a memorial before the Lord.
