< Isaiah 23 >

1 [the] oracle of Tyre wail - O ships of Tarshish for it has been devastated from house from coming from [the] land of Cyprus it has been revealed to them.
論泰爾的默示: 他施的船隻都要哀號; 因為泰爾變為荒場, 甚至沒有房屋,沒有可進之路。 這消息是從基提地得來的。
2 Be silent O inhabitants of [the] coastland [the] trader of Sidon [who] passed over [the] sea they have filled you.
沿海的居民, 就是素來靠航海西頓的商家得豐盛的, 你們當靜默無言。
3 And on waters many [was] [the] seed of Shihor [the] harvest of [the] River revenue her and it became [the] traffic of nations.
在大水之上, 西曷的糧食、 尼羅河的莊稼是泰爾的進項; 她作列國的大碼頭。
4 Be ashamed O Sidon for it has said [the] sea [the] stronghold of the sea saying not I have been in labor and not I have given birth and not I have brought up young men I have raised young women.
西頓哪,你當慚愧; 因為大海說, 就是海中的保障說: 我沒有劬勞,也沒有生產, 沒有養育男子,也沒有撫養童女。
5 When a report [is] to Egypt people will be in anguish like [the] report of Tyre.
這風聲傳到埃及; 埃及人為泰爾的風聲極其疼痛。
6 Pass over Tarshish towards wail O inhabitants of [the] coastland.
泰爾人哪,你們當過到他施去; 沿海的居民哪,你們都當哀號。
7 ¿ [is] this Of you jubilant [city] [which is] from days of antiquity beginning its [which] they have carried it feet its from a distance to sojourn.
這是你們歡樂的城, 從上古而有的嗎? 其中的居民往遠方寄居。
8 Who? did he plan this on Tyre which bestows crowns which traders its [were] princes merchants its [were the] honored [people] of [the] earth.
泰爾本是賜冠冕的。 她的商家是王子; 她的買賣人是世上的尊貴人。 遭遇如此是誰定的呢?
9 Yahweh of hosts he planned it to profane [the] pride of all splendor to treat with contempt all [the] honored [people] of [the] earth.
是萬軍之耶和華所定的! 為要污辱一切高傲的榮耀, 使地上一切的尊貴人被藐視。
10 Pass over land your like the River O daughter of Tarshish there not [is] a restraint still.
他施的民哪, 可以流行你的地,好像尼羅河; 不再有腰帶拘緊你。
11 Hand his he has stretched out over the sea he has made tremble kingdoms Yahweh he has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy strongholds its.
耶和華已經向海伸手, 震動列國。 至於迦南, 他已經吩咐拆毀其中的保障。
12 And he said not you will repeat again to exult O oppressed [one] [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Sidon (Cyprus *Q(k)*) arise pass over also there not it will be rest to you.
他又說:受欺壓西頓的居民哪, 你必不得再歡樂。 起來!過到基提去; 就是在那裏也不得安歇。 (
13 There! - [the] land of [the] Chaldeans this [is] the people [which] not it was Assyria it allocated it to desert-dwellers they raised up (siege-towers its *Q(k)*) they stripped bare palaces its it made it a ruin.
看哪,迦勒底人之地向來沒有這民,這國是亞述人為住曠野的人所立的。現在他們建築戍樓,拆毀泰爾的宮殿,使她成為荒涼。)
14 Wail O ships of Tarshish for it has been devastated stronghold your.
他施的船隻都要哀號, 因為你們的保障變為荒場。
15 And it will be in the day that and [will be] forgotten Tyre seventy year[s] like [the] days of a king one from [the] end of seventy year[s] it will happen to Tyre like [the] song of the prostitute.
到那時,泰爾必被忘記七十年,照着一王的年日。七十年後,泰爾的景況必像妓女所唱的歌:
16 Take a harp go around [the] city O prostitute forgotten do well to play multiply song so that you may be remembered.
你這被忘記的妓女啊, 拿琴周流城內, 巧彈多唱,使人再想念你。
17 And it will be from [the] end of - seventy year[s] he will visit Yahweh Tyre and it will return to hire its and it will act [the] prostitute with all [the] kingdoms of the earth on [the] surface of the earth.
七十年後,耶和華必眷顧泰爾,她就仍得利息,與地上的萬國交易。
18 And it will be profit its and hire its a holy thing to Yahweh not it will be stored up and not it will be hoarded for to [those who] dwell before Yahweh it will belong profit its for eating to satiety and for covering magnificent.
她的貨財和利息要歸耶和華為聖,必不積攢存留;因為她的貨財必為住在耶和華面前的人所得,使他們吃飽,穿耐久的衣服。
