Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim 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, you inhabitants of the isle; you 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 by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
In aquis multis semen Nili, messis fluminis fruges eius: et facta est negotiatio gentium.
4 Be you ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea has spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring 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 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto, dolebunt cum audierint de Tiro:
6 Pass you over to Tarshish; howl, you inhabitants of the isle.
Transite maria, ululate qui habitatis in insula:
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry 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 has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
Quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam, cuius negotiatores principes, institores eius inclyti terrae?
9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc, ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae, et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclytos terrae.
10 Pass through your land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
Transi terram tuam quasi flumen filia maris, non est cingulum ultra tibi.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD has given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Manum suam extendit super mare, conturbavit regna: Dominus mandavit adversus Chanaan, ut contereret fortes eius,
12 And he said, You shall no more rejoice, O you oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shall you 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 people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to 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, you ships of Tarshish: for your strength 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 shall Tyre sing as an 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 an harp, go about the city, you harlot that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may 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 visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication 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 merces suas: et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciem terrae.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable 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.
