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, you ships of Tarshish. For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim 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 still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
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。
On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of 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 ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished 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 the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report 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 to Tarshish. Wail, you inhabitants of the coast.
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 this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
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 has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable 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 has planned it, to defile all the pride of glory, to shame all the honored 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。
Cultivate your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any 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 has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. The LORD has ordered the destruction of Canaan's strongholds.
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。 （
He said, "You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will 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。）
Look, the land of the Chaldeans, these people who have become nothing. The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals. They set up their siege towers, they tore down her palaces, they made her a ruin.
14 他施的船隻都要哀號， 因為你們的保障變為荒場。
Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold 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：
It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
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, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may 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。
It will happen after the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface 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。
Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to the LORD. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
