Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyrus. Howle, yee shippes of Tarshish: for it is destroied, so that there is none house: none shall come from the lande of Chittim: it is reueiled vnto them.
| نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ صُورَ: وَلْوِلِي يَا سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ، لأَنَّ صُورَ قَدْ هُدِمَتْ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ بَيْتٌ وَلا مَرْفَأٌ. تَمَاماً كَمَا بَلَغَكُمُ النَّبَأُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِ قُبْرُصَ. | ١ |
2 Be still, yee that dwell in the yles: the marchantes of Zidon, and such as passe ouer the sea, haue replenished thee.
| اصْمُتُوا يَا أَهْلَ السَّاحِلِ، يَا تُجَّارَ صَيْدُونَ، عَابِرِي الْبَحْرِ الَّذِينَ مَلَأْتُمُوهَا، | ٢ |
3 The seede of Nilus growing by the abundance of waters, and the haruest of the riuer was her reuenues, and she was a marte of the nations.
| فَقَدْ قَدِمَتْ فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ سُفُنٌ مُحَمَّلَةٌ بِقَمْحِ شِيحُورَ وَحَصَادِ النِّيلِ، فَصَارَتْ هِيَ مَتْجَرَةَ الأُمَمِ. | ٣ |
4 Be ashamed, thou Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, euen the strength of the sea, saying, I haue not trauailed, nor brought forth children, neither nourished yong men, nor brought vp virgins.
| فَاخْجَلِي يَا صَيْدَا لأَنَّ الْبَحْرَ وَحِصْنَهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَا قَائِلَيْنِ: لَمْ أَتَمَخَّضْ وَلَمْ أَلِدْ، لَمْ أُنْشِئْ شَبَاباً وَلا رَبَّيْتُ عَذَارَى. | ٤ |
5 When the fame commeth to the Egyptians, they shall be sorie, concerning the rumour of Tyrus.
| عِنْدَمَا يَذِيعُ النَّبَأُ فِي مِصْرَ، يَتَوَجَّعُونَ لأَخْبَارِ صُورَ. | ٥ |
6 Goe you ouer to Tarshish: howle, yee that dwell in the yles.
| اعْبُرُوا إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ، انْتَحِبُوا يَا أَهْلَ السَّاحِلِ. | ٦ |
7 Is not this that your glorious citie? her antiquitie is of ancient daies: her owne feete shall leade her afarre off to be a soiourner.
| أَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَدِينَتُكُمُ الْمُبْتَهِجَةُ الَّتِي نَشَأَتْ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَالَّتِي تَنْقُلُهَا قَدَمَاهَا لِلتَغَرُّبِ فِي أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ؟ | ٧ |
8 Who hath decreed this against Tyrus (that crowneth men) whose marchantes are princes? whose chapmen are the nobles of the worlde?
| مَنْ قَضَى بِهَذَا عَلَى صُورَ وَاهِبَةِ التِّيجَانِ، الَّتِي تُجَّارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ، وَمُتَكَسِّبُوهَا شُرَفَاءُ الأَرْضِ؟ | ٨ |
9 The Lord of hostes hath decreed this, to staine the pride of all glorie, and to bring to contempt all them that be glorious in the earth.
| إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَضَى بِذَلِكَ، لِيَحُطَّ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ كُلِّ مَجْدٍ، وَلِيُذِلَّ كُلَّ شُرَفَاءِ الأَرْضِ. | ٩ |
10 Passe through thy lande like a flood to the daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
| امْخُرِي عُبَابَ الْبَحْرِ يَا ابْنَةَ تَرْشِيشَ كَمَا يَخْتَرِقُ النِّيلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ إِذْ زَالَ مَرْفَأُكِ مِنَ الوُجُودِ. | ١٠ |
11 He stretched out his hand vpon the sea: he shooke the kingdomes: the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning the place of marchandise, to destroy the power thereof.
| بَسَطَ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَزَعْزَعَ مَمَالِكَ، أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ عَلَى كَنْعَانَ كَيْ تُدَمَّرَ حُصُونُهَا، | ١١ |
12 And he saide, Thou shalt no more reioyce when thou art oppressed: O virgin daughter of Zidon: rise vp, goe ouer vnto Chittim: yet there thou shalt haue no rest.
| وَقَالَ: «لَنْ تَعُودِي تُعَرْبِدِينَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعَذْرَاءُ الَّتِي فَقَدَتْ شَرَفَهَا، يَا ابْنَةَ صَيْدُونَ هُبِّي وَاعْبُرِي إِلَى قُبْرُصَ، وَلَكِنَّكِ لَنْ تَجِدِي هُنَاكَ رَاحَةً». | ١٢ |
13 Behold the lande of the Caldeans: this was no people: Asshur founded it by the inhabitantes of the wildernesse: they set vp the towers thereof: they raised the palaces thereof and hee brought it to ruine.
| تَأَمَّلِي فِي أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَانْظُرِي إِلَى شَعْبِهَا، فَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ الأَشُورِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ سَيَجْعَلُونَ صُورَ مَرْتَعاً لِلْوُحُوشِ، وَسَيَنْصِبُونَ حَوْلَهَا أَبْرَاجَهُمْ، وَيَمْسَحُونَ قُصُورَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَيُحَوِّلُونَهَا إِلَى خَرَابٍ. | ١٣ |
14 Howle yee shippes of Tarshish, for your strength is destroyed.
| انْتَحِبِي يَا سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ لأَنَّ حُصُونَكِ قَدْ تَهَدَّمَتْ. | ١٤ |
15 And in that day shall Tyrus bee forgotten seuentie yeeres, (according to the yeeres of one King) at the ende of seuentie yeeres shall Tyrus sing as an harlot.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَظَلُّ صُورُ مَنْسِيَّةً طَوَالَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، كَحِقْبَةِ حَيَاةِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي نِهَايَةِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً يُصِيبُ صُورَ مِثْلُ مَا جَاءَ فِي أُغْنِيَةِ الْعَاهِرَةِ: | ١٥ |
16 Take an harpe and go about the citie: (thou harlot thou hast beene forgotten) make sweete melodie, sing moe songes that thou maiest be remembred.
| «خُذِي عُوداً وَطُوفِي فِي الْمَدِيَنةِ أَيَّتُهَا الْعَاهِرَةُ الْمَنْسِيَّةُ. أَتْقِنِي الْعَزْفَ عَلَى الْعُودِ وَأَكْثِرِي الْغِنَاءَ لَعَلَّكِ تُذْكَرِينَ». | ١٦ |
17 And at the ende of seuentie yeres shall the Lord visite Tyrus, and shee shall returne to her wages, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdomes of the earth, that are in the world.
| وَفِى نِهَايَةِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً يَفْتَقِدُ الرَّبُّ صُورَ، فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى عَهْدِهَا، وَتَزْنِي مَعَ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٧ |
18 Yet her occupying and her wages shall bee holy vnto the Lord: it shall not be laied vp nor kept in store, but her marchandise shalbe for them that dwell before the Lord, to eate sufficiently, and to haue durable clothing.
| أَمَّا تِجَارَتُهَا وَأُجْرَتُهَا فَتُصْبِحُ قُدْساً لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تُخْزَنُ وَلا تُدَّخَرُ لأَنَّ تِجَارَتَهَا تُوَفِّرُ غِذَاءً وَفِيراً، وَثِيَاباً فَاخِرَةً لِلسَّاكِنِينَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. | ١٨ |
