以賽亞書 23
1 論泰爾的默示： 他施的船隻都要哀號； 因為泰爾變為荒場， 甚至沒有房屋，沒有可進之路。 這消息是從基提地得來的。
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， 就是素來靠航海西頓的商家得豐盛的， 你們當靜默無言。
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， 西曷的糧食、 尼羅河的莊稼是泰爾的進項； 她作列國的大碼頭。
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 西頓哪，你當慚愧； 因為大海說， 就是海中的保障說： 我沒有劬勞，也沒有生產， 沒有養育男子，也沒有撫養童女。
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 這風聲傳到埃及； 埃及人為泰爾的風聲極其疼痛。
When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
6 泰爾人哪，你們當過到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你們都當哀號。
Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
7 這是你們歡樂的城， 從上古而有的嗎？ 其中的居民往遠方寄居。
Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 泰爾本是賜冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的買賣人是世上的尊貴人。 遭遇如此是誰定的呢？
Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
9 是萬軍之耶和華所定的！ 為要污辱一切高傲的榮耀， 使地上一切的尊貴人被藐視。
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，好像尼羅河； 不再有腰帶拘緊你。
Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
11 耶和華已經向海伸手， 震動列國。 至於迦南， 他已經吩咐拆毀其中的保障。
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 他又說：受欺壓西頓的居民哪， 你必不得再歡樂。 起來！過到基提去； 就是在那裏也不得安歇。 （
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，迦勒底人之地向來沒有這民，這國是亞述人為住曠野的人所立的。現在他們建築戍樓，拆毀泰爾的宮殿，使她成為荒涼。）
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 他施的船隻都要哀號， 因為你們的保障變為荒場。
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
15 到那時，泰爾必被忘記七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年後，泰爾的景況必像妓女所唱的歌：
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 你這被忘記的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城內， 巧彈多唱，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 七十年後，耶和華必眷顧泰爾，她就仍得利息，與地上的萬國交易。
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 她的貨財和利息要歸耶和華為聖，必不積攢存留；因為她的貨財必為住在耶和華面前的人所得，使他們吃飽，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.
