Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
论泰尔的默示： 他施的船只都要哀号； 因为泰尔变为荒场， 甚至没有房屋，没有可进之路。 这消息是从基提地得来的。
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
沿海的居民， 就是素来靠航海西顿的商家得丰盛的， 你们当静默无言。
3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
在大水之上， 西曷的粮食、 尼罗河的庄稼是泰尔的进项； 她作列国的大码头。
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”
西顿哪，你当惭愧； 因为大海说， 就是海中的保障说： 我没有劬劳，也没有生产， 没有养育男子，也没有抚养童女。
5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
泰尔人哪，你们当过到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你们都当哀号。
7 Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
这是你们欢乐的城， 从上古而有的吗？ 其中的居民往远方寄居。
8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
泰尔本是赐冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的买卖人是世上的尊贵人。 遭遇如此是谁定的呢？
9 The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.
是万军之耶和华所定的！ 为要污辱一切高傲的荣耀， 使地上一切的尊贵人被藐视。
10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
他施的民哪， 可以流行你的地，好像尼罗河； 不再有腰带拘紧你。
11 He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.
耶和华已经向海伸手， 震动列国。 至于迦南， 他已经吩咐拆毁其中的保障。
12 And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”
他又说：受欺压西顿的居民哪， 你必不得再欢乐。 起来！过到基提去； 就是在那里也不得安歇。 （
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.
看哪，迦勒底人之地向来没有这民，这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的。现在他们建筑戍楼，拆毁泰尔的宫殿，使她成为荒凉。）
14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
15 And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.
到那时，泰尔必被忘记七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年后，泰尔的景况必像妓女所唱的歌：
16 Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.
你这被忘记的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城内， 巧弹多唱，使人再想念你。
17 And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
七十年后，耶和华必眷顾泰尔，她就仍得利息，与地上的万国交易。
18 And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.
她的货财和利息要归耶和华为圣，必不积攒存留；因为她的货财必为住在耶和华面前的人所得，使他们吃饱，穿耐久的衣服。
