Isaiah 23
1 This is the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.
有關提洛的神諭：你們哀號罷！塔爾史士的船隻！因為你們的保壘已遭破壞。由基廷地歸來的，他們得到了這消息。
2 Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.
海濱的居民，靜默罷！漆冬的商賈曾充實了你。
3 On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.
在大水之上運來的，是史曷爾的穀物；尼羅河的收穫，是她的財富；她成了萬民的商場。
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”
漆冬！羞慚罷！因為海說過：【即海中的保壘說過：】「我沒有分娩過，也沒有生產過；沒有撫養過青年，也沒有養育過處女。」
5 When the report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.
這風聲一傳到了埃及，大家都為了提洛的消息而戰慄。
6 Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!
你門過海到塔爾史士去罷！海濱的居民你們哀號罷！
7 Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?
這就是你們所誇耀的城嗎﹖她本起源於上古，她的雙腳曾將她帶至遠方寄居。
8 Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?
是誰策劃了這事，來反對加過冕的提洛﹖她得商賈本來都是王侯，商販本來都是地上的顯要。
9 The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.
是萬軍的上主策劃了這事，為打擊她一切自矜的狂傲，侮辱地上所有的顯要。
10 Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
塔爾史士女兒！耕種你的地罷！海港也不在了！
11 The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.
上主的手已伸在海上，使萬國戰慄震驚；上主對客納罕已決定，要摧毀她的要塞。
12 He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”
他說過：「漆冬女兒！遭虐待的處女，你不要再歡樂！起來，往基廷去！在那裏你也得不到安寧！」
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans — a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.
看基廷的地域！【她已不成為民族，亞述已將她委棄予野獸；】人設立了高塔，毀壞了她的宮殿，使她成了一片廢 墟。
14 Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!
塔爾史士的船隻！ 你們哀號罷！ 因為你們的保壘已遭破壞！
15 At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
到那天，提洛將被遺忘七十年之久，有如一位君王的歲月。過了七十年，提洛要像妓女歌曲中所唱的：「
16 “Take up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”
被遺忘的妓女！拿琴遊城罷﹖巧彈多唱罷！好使人再記起你來！」
17 And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
過了七十年，上主要眷顧提洛，她要再接受纏頭，與地面世上各國交易。
18 Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.
她的贏利和她的進項將祝聖與上主，必不再貯藏積蓄起來，因為她的贏利將歸於那些在上主面前度日的人，使他們吃得飽，穿得體面。
