Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, all of 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.
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 still, all of you inhabitants of the isle; you whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
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 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a merchant of 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 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.
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 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
6 Pass all of you over to Tarshish; wail, all of you inhabitants of the isle.
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 your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her far off to sojourn.
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 taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of 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 purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable 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 Pass through your land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
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 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.
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 more rejoice, O you oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shall you have no rest.
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; 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.
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, all of you ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
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.
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 an harp, go about the city, you harlot that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, 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 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 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 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.
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。
