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 Kittim 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, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, 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 On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market 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 ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought 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 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish 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 over to Tarshish. Wail, you inhabitants of the coast.
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, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
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 planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable 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 YHWH of hosts has planned it, to defile all the pride of glory, to shame all the honored 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 Cultivate your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.
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 has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. YHWH has ordered the destruction of Canaan's strongholds.
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 He said, "You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will 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 Look, the land of the Chaldeans, these people who have become nothing. The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals. They set up their siege towers, they tore down her palaces, they made her a 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 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
15 It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
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 a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has 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 It will happen after the end of seventy years that YHWH will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface 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 Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to YHWH. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before YHWH, 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。
