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 burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
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。
Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
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。
The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of 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 thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
5 这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of 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。
Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the 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。
Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
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 hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles 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 hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of 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。
Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
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。
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones 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 he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, 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。）
Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
14 他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
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 thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre 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 the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst 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 seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon 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 merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
