Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in; from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
Onus Tyri. Ululate naves maris: quia vastata est domus, unde venire consueverant: de Terra Cethim revelatum est eis.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast-land; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
Tacete qui habitatis in insula: negotiatores Sidonis transfretantes mare, repleverunt te.
3 And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations.
In aquis multis semen Nili, messis fluminis fruges eius: et facta est negotiatio gentium.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: 'I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I reared young men, nor brought up virgins.'
Erubesce Sidon: ait enim mare: fortitudo maris dicit: Non parturivi, et non peperi, et non enutrivi iuvenes, nec ad incrementum perduxi virgines.
5 When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto, dolebunt cum audierint de Tiro:
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the coast-land.
Transite maria, ululate qui habitatis in insula:
7 Is this your joyous city, whose feet in antiquity, in ancient days, carried her afar off to sojourn?
Numquid non vestra haec est, quae gloriabatur a diebus pristinis in antiquitate sua? ducent eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum.
8 Who hath devised this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
Quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam, cuius negotiatores principes, institores eius inclyti terrae?
9 The LORD of hosts hath devised it, to pollute the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc, ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae, et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclytos terrae.
10 Overflow thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! there is no girdle any more.
Transi terram tuam quasi flumen filia maris, non est cingulum ultra tibi.
11 He hath stretched out His hand over the sea, He hath shaken the kingdoms; the LORD hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof;
Manum suam extendit super mare, conturbavit regna: Dominus mandavit adversus Chanaan, ut contereret fortes eius,
12 And He said: 'Thou shalt no more rejoice.' O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon, arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest.
et dixit: Non adiicies ultra ut glorieris, calumniam sustinens virgo filia Sidonis: in Cethim consurgens transfreta, ibi quoque non erit requies tibi.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans — this is the people that was not, when Asshur founded it for shipmen — they set up their towers, they overthrew the palaces thereof; it is made a ruin.
Ecce terra Chaldaeorum talis populus non fuit, Assur fundavit eam: in captivitatem traduxerunt robustos eius, suffoderunt domos eius, posuerunt eam in ruinam.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
Ululate naves maris, quia devastata est fortitudo vestra.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king; after the end of seventy years it shall fare with Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
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 a harp, go about the city, thou harlot long forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Sume citharam, circui civitatem meretrix oblivioni tradita: bene cane, frequenta canticum ut memoria tui sit.
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will remember Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall have commerce with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Et erit post septuaginta annos: Visitabit Dominus Tyrum, et reducet eam ad merces suas: et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciem terrae.
18 And her gain and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD; it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her gain shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat their fill, and for stately clothing.
Et erunt negotiationes eius, et merces 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.
