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 Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was 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, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they 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。
And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart 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, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor 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。
As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [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, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
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 exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet 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 counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of 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。
Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of 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 through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.
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。
His hand He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath caused kingdoms to tremble, Jehovah hath charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
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 saith, 'Thou dost not add any more to exult, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there — there is no rest for thee.'
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。）
Lo, the land of the Chaldeans — this people was not, Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers, They lifted up her palaces, — He hath appointed her for a ruin!
14 他施的船隻都要哀號， 因為你們的保障變為荒場。
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For your strength hath been destroyed.
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 hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the 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 round the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that thou mayest 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 hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years Jehovah inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift, That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.
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 gift have been holy to Jehovah, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting before Jehovah is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!
