Isaiah 23
1 The doom of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; for it is laid waste, without house, without entrance: from the land of Kittim hath it been revealed to them.
Onus Tyri. Ululate naves maris: quia vastata est domus, unde venire consueverant: de Terra Cethim revelatum est eis.
2 Be silent, ye inhabitants of the coast-land: the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea [formerly] filled thee.
Tacete qui habitatis in insula: negotiatores Sidonis transfretantes mare, repleverunt te.
3 And on mighty waters [came] the seed of Shichor, the harvest of the stream, as her revenue; and she became the mart of nations.
In aquis multis semen Nili, messis fluminis fruges eius: et facta est negotiatio gentium.
4 Be ashamed, O Zion; for spoken hath the sea, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I travailed not, nor brought forth children, neither did I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
Erubesce Sidon: ait enim mare: fortitudo maris dicens: Non parturivi, et non peperi, et non enutrivi iuvenes, nec ad incrementum perduxi virgines.
5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they tremble at the report of Tyre.
Cum auditum fuerit in Ægypto, dolebunt cum audierint de Tiro:
6 Pass ye over to Tharshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the coast-land.
Transite maria, ululate qui habitatis in insula:
7 Is this your fate, ye of the joyous [city]? she whose antiquity is of ancient days—her own feet shall carry her, afar off to sojourn.
Numquid non vestra hæc est, quæ gloriabatur a diebus pristinis in antiquitate sua? Ducent eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum.
8 Who hath resolved this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
Quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam, cuius negotiatores principes, institores eius inclyti terræ?
9 The Lord hath resolved it, to dishonor the pride of all ornament, to make of light esteem all the honorable of the earth.
Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc, ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriæ, et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclytos terræ.
10 Pass through thy land as a stream, O daughter of Tharshish: there is no more strength.
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 kingdoms; the Lord hath given a command against Canaan, to subvert its strongholds.
Manum suam extendit super mare, conturbavit regna: Dominus mandavit adversus Chanaan, ut contereret fortes eius,
12 And he said, Thou shalt no longer rejoice any more, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to the Kittim; also 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 people which was not, Asshur founded it for the dwellers in the wilderness—they have set up their watchtowers, have overthrown its palaces, have rendered it a heap of ruins.
Ecce terra Chaldæorum talis populus non fuit, Assur fundavit eam: in captivitatem traduxerunt robustos eius, suffoderunt domos eius, posuerunt eam in ruinam.
14 Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; your stronghold is laid waste.
Ululate naves maris, quia devastata est fortitudo vestra.
15 And it shall come to pass on that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, like the days of one king: at the end of seventy years shall it happen to 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 the harp, go round about the city, thou forgotten harlot; make sweet music, sing many songs, in order 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 visit 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 mercedes suas: et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terræ super faciem terræ.
18 And her gain and her hire shall be holy to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; but for those that dwell before the Lord shall her gain be, to eat to fulness, and for magnificent clothing.
Et erunt negotiationes eius, et mercedes eius sanctificatæ Domino: non condentur, neque reponentur: quia his, qui habitaverint coram Domino, erit negotiatio eius, ut manducent in saturitatem, et vestiantur usque ad vetustatem.
