Isaiah 23
1 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish, For it has been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.
Breme Tiru. Ridajte laðe Tarsiske, jer je raskopan, da nema kuæe niti ko dolazi. Iz zemlje Kitimske javi im se.
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island, Trader of Sidon, passing the sea, they filled you.
Umuknite koji živite na ostrvu, koje trgovci Sidonski pomorci puniše.
3 And the seed of Sihor [is] in many waters, Her increase [is] the harvest of the brook, And she is a market of nations.
I dohodi mu bijahu po velikim vodama sjeme Siorsko, žetva s rijeke, i bješe trg narodima.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea spoke, The strength of the sea, saying, “I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.”
Stidi se, Sidone, jer govori more, sila morska veli: ne muèim se poroðajem, ne raðam, ne odgajam momaka, ne podižem djevojaka.
5 As they are pained [at] the report of Egypt, So [at] the report of Tyre.
Kao što se ožalostiše kad èuše za Misir, tako æe se ožalostiti kad èuju za Tir.
6 Pass over to Tarshish, howl, you inhabitants of the island,
Idite u Tarsis, ridajte ostrvljani!
7 Is this your exulting one? Her antiquity [is] from the days of old, Her own feet carry her far off to sojourn.
Je li to vaš veseli grad, kojega je starina od davnina? njegove æe ga noge zanijeti daleko u tuðinstvo.
8 Who has counseled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants—the honored of earth?
Ko je to smislio na Tir, koji razdavaše vijence, èiji trgovci bjehu knezovi, i prekupci slavni na zemlji?
9 YHWH of Hosts has counseled it, To defile the excellence of all beauty, To make light all the honored of earth.
Gospod je nad vojskama to smislio, da osramoti ponos svake slave i da poništi sve slavne na zemlji.
10 Pass through your land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, There is no longer a girdle.
Prijeði preko zemlje svoje kao potok, kæeri Tarsiska; nema više pojasa.
11 He has stretched out His hand over the sea, He has caused kingdoms to tremble, YHWH has charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
Ruku svoju podiže na more, zadrma carstva; Gospod je zapovjedio za Hanan da se raskopaju gradovi njegovi.
12 And He says, “You do not add to exult anymore, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Sidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there—there is no rest for you.”
I veli: neæeš se više veseliti, osramoæena djevojko, kæeri Sidonska. Ustani, idi u Kitim, ni ondje neæeš imati mira.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans—this people was not, Asshur founded it for desert-dwellers, They raised its watchtowers, They lifted up her palaces—He has appointed her for a ruin!
Eto zemlje Haldejske; toga naroda nije bilo; Asur je osnova za one koji življahu u pustinjama, podigoše kule u njoj, pogradiše dvorove; i obrati se u razvaline.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, For your strength has been destroyed.
Ridajte laðe Tarsiske, jer je raskopan vaš grad.
15 And it has come to pass in that day, That Tyre is forgotten seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the harlot.
I tada æe Tir biti zarobljen sedamdeset godina, za vijek jednoga cara, a poslije sedamdeset godina pjevaæe se Tiru kao kurvi:
16 Take a harp, go around the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that you may be remembered.
Uzmi gusle, idi po gradu, zaboravljena kurvo; dobro udaraj, pjevaj i popijevaj, eda bi te se opet opomenuli.
17 And it has come to pass, At the end of seventy years YHWH inspects Tyre, And she has returned to her wage, And she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.
Jer poslije sedamdeset godina Gospod æe pohoditi Tir, a on æe se vratiti na kurvarsku zaslugu svoju, i kurvaæe se sa svijem carstvima na zemlji.
18 And her merchandise and her wage have been holy to YHWH, Not treasured up nor stored, For her merchandise is to those sitting before YHWH, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!
Ali æe trgovina njegova i zasluga njegova biti posveæena Gospodu, neæe se ostavljati ni èuvati, nego æe trgovina njegova biti onima koji nastavaju pred Gospodom da jedu do sitosti i imaju odijelo dobro.
