Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye 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.
Breme [naselbine] Tir. Tulite, ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti ta je opustošena, tako da tam ni nobene hiše niti vhoda vanjo; od dežele Kitéjcev jim je razodeto.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
Bodite mirni, vi prebivalci otoka, vi, ki so jih sidónski trgovci, ki prečkajo morje, na novo napolnili.
3 And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations.
Ob velikih vodah je seme Šihórja, žetev reke, njeno poplačilo in ona je dobiček narodom.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, the strong hold of the sea; saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.
Bodi osramočen, oh Sidón, kajti morje je spregovorilo, celó moč morja, rekoč: »Ne mučim se, niti ne rojevam otrok, niti ne negujem mladeničev, niti ne vzgajam devic.
5 When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Kakor ob poročilu glede Egipta, tako bodo boleče zaskrbljeni ob poročilu iz [naselbine] Tir.
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
Prepeljite se v Taršíš; tulite, vi prebivalci otoka.
7 Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
Ali je to vaše radostno mesto, katerega starodavnost je od starodavnih dni? Njegova lastna stopala ga bodo odnesla daleč, da začasno biva.
8 Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the crowning [city], whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
Kdo je sprejel ta nasvet zoper [naselbino] Tir, obkrožujoče mesto, čigar trgovci so princi, čigar preprodajalci so častitljivi [ljudje] zemlje?
9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Gospod nad bojevniki je to namenil, da omadežuje ponos vse slave in da privede v zaničevanje vse častitljive [ljudi] zemlje.
10 Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no girdle [about thee] any more.
Prečkaj skozi svojo deželo kakor reka, oh taršíška hči. Tam ni več nobene moči.
11 He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: the LORD hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Svojo roko je iztegnil nad morje, stresel je kraljestva. Gospod je izdal zapoved zoper trgovsko mesto, da uniči njegova močna oporišča.
12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest.
Rekel je: »Ne boš se več razveseljevala, oh ti zatirana devica, hči sidónska. Vstani, prečkaj h Kitéjcem; tudi tam ne boš imela počitka.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans; this people is no more; the Assyrian hath appointed it for the beasts of the wilderness: they set up their towers, they overthrew the palaces thereof; he made it a ruin.
Glej, dežela Kaldejcev; tega ljudstva ni bilo, dokler ga ni Asirec osnoval za tiste, ki prebivajo v divjini. Postavili so njegove stolpe, vzdignili so njegove palače; in privedel ga je do ruševin.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strong hold is laid waste.
Tulite ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti vaša moč je opustošena.
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 it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the harlot.
Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo [naselbina] Tir pozabljena sedemdeset let, glede na dneve enega kralja. Po koncu sedemdesetih let bo [naselbina] Tir pela kakor pocestnica.
16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Vzemi harfo, pojdi okoli mesta, ti pocestnica, ki si bila pozabljena; naredi prijetno melodijo, poj mnoge pesmi, da se te bodo lahko spomnili.
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 play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Po koncu sedemdesetih let se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod obiskal [naselbino] Tir in se obrnil k njenemu plačilu in zagrešila bo prešuštvovanje, z vsemi kraljestvi sveta, na obličju zemlje.
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.
Njeno trgovsko blago in njena nagrada bosta sveta Gospodu. To ne bo več shranjeno niti kopičeno, kajti njen trgovski dobiček bo za tiste, ki prebivajo pred Gospodom, da bodo zadostno jedli in za trpežno oblačilo.
