Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
Breme [naselbine] Tir. Tulite, ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti ta je opustošena, tako da tam ni nobene hiše niti vhoda vanjo; od dežele Kitéjcev jim je razodeto.
2 Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
Bodite mirni, vi prebivalci otoka, vi, ki so jih sidónski trgovci, ki prečkajo morje, na novo napolnili.
3 The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.
Ob velikih vodah je seme Šihórja, žetev reke, njeno poplačilo in ona je dobiček narodom.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
Bodi osramočen, oh Sidón, kajti morje je spregovorilo, celó moč morja, rekoč: »Ne mučim se, niti ne rojevam otrok, niti ne negujem mladeničev, niti ne vzgajam devic.
5 When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
Kakor ob poročilu glede Egipta, tako bodo boleče zaskrbljeni ob poročilu iz [naselbine] Tir.
6 Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
Prepeljite se v Taršíš; tulite, vi prebivalci otoka.
7 Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Ali je to vaše radostno mesto, katerega starodavnost je od starodavnih dni? Njegova lastna stopala ga bodo odnesla daleč, da začasno biva.
8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
Kdo je sprejel ta nasvet zoper [naselbino] Tir, obkrožujoče mesto, čigar trgovci so princi, čigar preprodajalci so častitljivi [ljudje] zemlje?
9 The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.
Gospod nad bojevniki je to namenil, da omadežuje ponos vse slave in da privede v zaničevanje vse častitljive [ljudi] zemlje.
10 Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
Prečkaj skozi svojo deželo kakor reka, oh taršíška hči. Tam ni več nobene moči.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.
Svojo roko je iztegnil nad morje, stresel je kraljestva. Gospod je izdal zapoved zoper trgovsko mesto, da uniči njegova močna oporišča.
12 And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
Rekel je: »Ne boš se več razveseljevala, oh ti zatirana devica, hči sidónska. Vstani, prečkaj h Kitéjcem; tudi tam ne boš imela počitka.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
Glej, dežela Kaldejcev; tega ljudstva ni bilo, dokler ga ni Asirec osnoval za tiste, ki prebivajo v divjini. Postavili so njegove stolpe, vzdignili so njegove palače; in privedel ga je do ruševin.
14 Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
Tulite ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti vaša moč je opustošena.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot.
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo [naselbina] Tir pozabljena sedemdeset let, glede na dneve enega kralja. Po koncu sedemdesetih let bo [naselbina] Tir pela kakor pocestnica.
16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered.
Vzemi harfo, pojdi okoli mesta, ti pocestnica, ki si bila pozabljena; naredi prijetno melodijo, poj mnoge pesmi, da se te bodo lahko spomnili.
17 And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Po koncu sedemdesetih let se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod obiskal [naselbino] Tir in se obrnil k njenemu plačilu in zagrešila bo prešuštvovanje, z vsemi kraljestvi sveta, na obličju zemlje.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
Njeno trgovsko blago in njena nagrada bosta sveta Gospodu. To ne bo več shranjeno niti kopičeno, kajti njen trgovski dobiček bo za tiste, ki prebivajo pred Gospodom, da bodo zadostno jedli in za trpežno oblačilo.
