Isaiah 23
1 The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.
onus Tyri ululate naves maris quia vastata est domus unde venire consueverant de terra Cetthim revelatum est eis
2 Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;
tacete qui habitatis in insula negotiatio Sidonis transfretantes mare repleverunt te
3 Who get in the seed of Shihor, whose wealth is the trade of the nations.
in aquis multis semen Nili messis fluminis fruges eius et facta est negotiatio gentium
4 Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.
erubesce Sidon ait enim mare fortitudo maris dicens non parturivi et non peperi et non enutrivi iuvenes nec ad incrementum perduxi virgines
5 When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.
cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto dolebunt cum audierint de Tyro
6 Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.
transite maria ululate qui habitatis in insula
7 Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?
numquid non haec vestra est quae gloriabatur a diebus pristinis in antiquitate sua ducent eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum
8 By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?
quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam cuius negotiatores principes institores eius incliti terrae
9 It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.
Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclitos terrae
10 Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.
transi terram tuam quasi flumen filia maris non est cingulum ultra tibi
11 His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.
manum suam extendit super mare conturbavit regna Dominus mandavit adversum Chanaan ut contereret fortes eius
12 And he said, There is no more joy for you, O crushed virgin daughter of Zidon: up! go over to Kittim; even there you will have no rest.
et dixit non adicies ultra ut glorieris calumniam sustinens virgo filia Sidonis in Cetthim consurgens transfreta ibi quoque non erit requies tibi
ecce terra Chaldeorum talis populus non fuit Assur fundavit eam in captivitatem transduxerunt robustos eius suffoderunt domos eius posuerunt eam in ruinam
14 Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish: because your strong place is made waste.
ululate naves maris quia devastata est fortitudo vestra
15 And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.
et erit in die illa in oblivione eris o Tyre septuaginta annis sicut dies regis unius post septuaginta autem annos erit Tyro quasi canticum meretricis
16 Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.
sume citharam circui civitatem meretrix oblivioni tradita bene cane frequenta canticum ut memoria tui sit
17 And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
et erit post septuaginta annos visitabit Dominus Tyrum et reducet eam ad mercedes suas et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciem terrae
18 And her goods and her trade will be holy to the Lord: they will not be kept back or stored up; for her produce will be for those living in the Lord's land, to give them food for their needs, and fair clothing.
et erunt negotiatio eius et mercedes eius sanctificatae Domino non condentur neque reponentur quia his qui habitaverint coram Domino erit negotiatio eius ut manducent in saturitatem et vestiantur usque ad vetustatem
