Isaiah 23
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Tyre [city]: You [sailors on] [APO] ships from Tarshish, weep, because [the harbor of] Tyre and all the houses [in the city] have been destroyed. The reports that you heard in Cyprus [island] about Tyre [are true].
Ti pakaammo maipapan iti Tiro: Agriawkayo, dakayo a barko ti Tarsis; ta awanen iti pagtaengan wenno pantalan; manipud iti daga ti Kittim naipakaammon kadakuada.
2 You people who live along the coast [near Tyre], and merchants of Sidon [city], mourn silently. Your sailors went across the seas [to many places like Tyre].
Agsiddaawkayo, dakayo nga agnanaed iti igid ti baybay, dakayo nga agtagtagilako ti Sidon, nga agdaldaliasat iti rabaw ti taaw a makin-ahente kadagiti mangipapaay kadakayo kadagiti tagilako.
3 They sailed across deep seas to buy grain in Egypt and [other] crops that are grown along the Nile [River]. Tyre became the city where people from [all] nations bought and sold goods.
Ket iti rabaw dagiti dadakkel a danum, ket naipan dagiti trigo ti rehiyon ti Sihor, nga apit ti Nilo, idiay Tiro; lugar a pagtagilakoan idi dagiti nasion.
4 But now you people in Sidon should be ashamed, because [you trusted in Tyre], which has been a strong fortress [on an island] in the sea. [Tyre is like a woman who is saying], “[Now it is as though] I have not given birth to [any] children, or raised [any] sons or daughters.”
Agbainka koma Sidon, ta nagsao ti taaw, ti nabileg iti taaw. Kinunana, “Saanak a nagpasikal wenno naganak, wenno nagpadakkel kadagiti babbaro wenno babbalasang.”
5 When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
Inton dumteng ti pakaammo idiay Egipto, agladingitdanto maipapan iti Tiro.
6 Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
Agballasiwkayo idiay Tarsis; aganug-ogkayo dakayo nga agnanaed iti igid ti baybay.
7 [The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
Napasamak kadi daytoy kadakayo, ti naragsak a siudad, a ti naggappoanna ket manipud iti punganay, nga inyadayo dagiti sakana tapno agnaed kadagiti ganggannaet a lugar?
8 People from Tyre appointed kings [over other places]; their traders were wealthy; they were [as powerful and wealthy as] [MET] kings. [So], who [RHQ] caused the people of Tyre to experience this disaster?
Siasino ti nangplano iti daytoy maibusor iti Tiro, ti mangmangted kadagiti korona, a dagiti agtagtagilakona ket prinsipe ken dagiti agtagtagilakona ket mararaem iti daga?
9 It was the Commander of the armies of angels who did it; he did it in order to cause [you people in] Tyre not to be proud any more, to humiliate you men who are honored all over the world.
Pinanggep daytoy ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin tapno maibabain ti pagpanpannakkel ti Tiro ken ti amin a dayawna, tapno pabainanna dagiti amin a mararaemna iti daga.
10 You people of Tarshish, you must grow crops in your land [instead of trading]; spread out over your land like [SIM] the Nile [River] spreads over the land [of Egypt] when it floods, because there is no harbor [in Tyre for your ships] now.
Aradoem ti daga, anak a babai ti Tarsis, kas iti panangarado ti maysa a tao iti Nilo. Awanen ti pagtagilakoan idiay Tiro.
11 [It is as though] Yahweh stretched out his hand over the sea and shook the kingdoms of the earth. He commanded that in Phoenicia/Canaan all its fortresses must be destroyed.
Inyunnat ni Yahweh ti imana iti rabaw ti taaw, ket ginungonna dagiti pagarian; nangted isuna ti bilin maipanggep iti Fenecia, a madadael dagiti sarikedkedna.
12 He said to the people of Sidon, “You will never rejoice again, because you will be crushed; even if you flee to Cyprus [island], you will not escape destruction.”
Kinunana, “Saankanton nga agragsak manen, naidadanes a birhen nga anak ti Sidon; tumakderka, mapanka idiay Cyprus; ngem uray sadiay, saankanto a makainana.”
13 Think about what happened in Babylonia: the people who were in that land have disappeared. [The armies of] Assyria have caused that land to become a place where wild animals from the desert live. The Assyrians built dirt ramps to the top of the walls [of the city of Babylon]; [then they entered the city and] tore down the palaces and caused the city to become [a heap of] rubble.
Kitaem ti daga dagiti Caldeo. Dagitoy a tattao ket maibilang a saanen a nasion; inaramid dagiti taga-Asiria daytoy a let-ang a maipaay kadagiti atap nga ayup. Nangaramidda kadagiti nangangato a pagkalay-atanda; rinebbada dagiti palasiona daytoy; inaramidda daytoy a gabsuon dagiti nadadael.
14 [So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
Agriawkayo, dakayo a barko ti Tarsis; ta nadadaelen ti pagkamanganyo.
15 For seventy years, which is as long as kings usually live, people will forget about Tyre. [But then it will be rebuilt]. What will happen there will be like what happened to a prostitute in this song:
Iti dayta nga aldaw, malipatto ti Tiro iti pito pulo a tawen, a kas iti al-aldaw ti maysa nga ari. Kalpasan iti pito pulo a tawen, addanto ti mapasamak iti Tiro a kas iti nailanad iti kanta ti balangkantis.
16 “You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
Mangalaka ti arpa, mapanka iti siudad, sika a nalipatanen a balangkantis; sayaatem a kurengrengen daytoy, agkantaka iti adu a kankanta, tapno malaglagipdaka.
17 [It is true that] after seventy years Yahweh will restore Tyre. Their merchants will again earn a lot of money by buying things from and selling things to many [other] nations [HYP].
Mapasamakto a kalpasan iti pito pulo a tawen, tulonganto ni Yahweh ti Tiro, ket agsublinto manen ti Tiro iti sigud a panggedanna. Ilakonanto ti bagina kadagiti amin a pagarian iti rabaw ti daga.
18 [But] their profits will be given to Yahweh. [The merchants] will not hoard their money; instead, they will give it to Yahweh’s priests in order that they [can] buy food and nice clothes.
Maidatonto kenni Yahweh dagiti amin a ganansia ken urnongna. Saanto a maidulin wenno maurnong dagitoy. Ti mateggedna ket para iti taraon ken nalagda a kawes dagiti agnanaed iti presensia ni Yahweh.
