Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. It is revealed to them from the land of Kittim.
| מַשָּׂא צֹר הֵילִילוּ ׀ אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ כִּֽי־שֻׁדַּד מִבַּיִת מִבּוֹא מֵאֶרֶץ כִּתִּים נִגְלָה־לָֽמוֹ׃ |
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast, thou whom the merchants of Sidon, who pass over the sea, have replenished.
| דֹּמּוּ יֹשְׁבֵי אִי סֹחֵר צִידוֹן עֹבֵר יָם מִלְאֽוּךְ׃ |
3 And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue, and she was the mart of nations.
| וּבְמַיִם רַבִּים זֶרַע שִׁחֹר קְצִיר יְאוֹר תְּבוּאָתָהּ וַתְּהִי סְחַר גּוֹיִֽם׃ |
4 Be thou ashamed, O 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.
| בּוֹשִׁי צִידוֹן כִּֽי־אָמַר יָם מָעוֹז הַיָּם לֵאמֹר לֹא־חַלְתִּי וְלֹֽא־יָלַדְתִּי וְלֹא גִדַּלְתִּי בַּחוּרִים רוֹמַמְתִּי בְתוּלֽוֹת׃ |
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they shall be greatly pained at the report of Tyre.
| כַּאֲשֶׁר־שֵׁמַע לְמִצְרָיִם יָחִילוּ כְּשֵׁמַע צֹֽר׃ |
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish. Wail, ye inhabitants of the coast.
| עִבְרוּ תַּרְשִׁישָׁה הֵילִילוּ יֹשְׁבֵי אִֽי׃ |
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
| הֲזֹאת לָכֶם עַלִּיזָה מִֽימֵי־קֶדֶם קַדְמָתָהּ יֹבִלוּהָ רַגְלֶיהָ מֵרָחוֹק לָגֽוּר׃ |
8 Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the honored of the earth?
| מִי יָעַץ זֹאת עַל־צֹר הַמַּעֲטִירָה אֲשֶׁר סֹחֲרֶיהָ שָׂרִים כִּנְעָנֶיהָ נִכְבַּדֵּי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
9 Jehovah of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
| יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת יְעָצָהּ לְחַלֵּל גְּאוֹן כׇּל־צְבִי לְהָקֵל כׇּל־נִכְבַּדֵּי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
10 Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, there is no restraint any more.
| עִבְרִי אַרְצֵךְ כַּיְאֹר בַּת־תַּרְשִׁישׁ אֵין מֵזַח עֽוֹד׃ |
11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Jehovah has given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds of it.
| יָדוֹ נָטָה עַל־הַיָּם הִרְגִּיז מַמְלָכוֹת יְהֹוָה צִוָּה אֶל־כְּנַעַן לַשְׁמִד מָעֻזְנֶֽיהָ׃ |
12 And he said, Thou shall no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there shall thou have no rest.
| וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא־תוֹסִיפִי עוֹד לַעְלוֹז הַֽמְעֻשָּׁקָה בְּתוּלַת בַּת־צִידוֹן (כתיים) [כִּתִּים] קוּמִי עֲבֹרִי גַּם־שָׁם לֹא־יָנוּחַֽ לָֽךְ׃ |
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people once was not. The Assyrian founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They raised up the palaces of it. Then they made it a ruin.
| הֵן ׀ אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים זֶה הָעָם לֹא הָיָה אַשּׁוּר יְסָדָהּ לְצִיִּים הֵקִימוּ (בחיניו) [בַחוּנָיו] עֽוֹרְרוּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ שָׂמָהּ לְמַפֵּלָֽה׃ |
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
| הֵילִילוּ אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ כִּי שֻׁדַּד מָעֻזְּכֶֽן׃ |
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it shall be to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
| וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְנִשְׁכַּחַת צֹר שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה כִּימֵי מֶלֶךְ אֶחָד מִקֵּץ שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה יִהְיֶה לְצֹר כְּשִׁירַת הַזּוֹנָֽה׃ |
16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot who has been forgotten. Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou may be remembered.
| קְחִי כִנּוֹר סֹבִּי עִיר זוֹנָה נִשְׁכָּחָה הֵיטִיבִי נַגֵּן הַרְבִּי־שִׁיר לְמַעַן תִּזָּכֵֽרִי׃ |
17 And it came to pass after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah examined Tyre, and she has repented of her gift, that she play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
| וְהָיָה מִקֵּץ ׀ שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה יִפְקֹד יְהֹוָה אֶת־צֹר וְשָׁבָה לְאֶתְנַנָּהֿ וְזָנְתָה אֶת־כׇּל־מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ |
18 And her merchandise and her pay shall be holiness to Jehovah. It shall not be treasured nor laid up, for her merchandise shall be for those who dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
| וְהָיָה סַחְרָהּ וְאֶתְנַנָּהּ קֹדֶשׁ לַֽיהֹוָה לֹא יֵאָצֵר וְלֹא יֵחָסֵן כִּי לַיֹּשְׁבִים לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה יִהְיֶה סַחְרָהּ לֶֽאֱכֹל לְשׇׂבְעָה וְלִמְכַסֶּה עָתִֽיק׃ |
