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].
ツロに係るおもにの預言 いはく／タルシシのもろもろの舟よなきさけべ ツロは荒廢れて屋なく入べきところなければなり かれら此事をキツテムの地にて告しらせらる
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].
うみべの民よもだせ 曩には海をゆきかふシドンの商賣くさぐさの物をかしこに充せたり
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.
ツロは大なる水をわたりくるシホルの種物とナイルがはの穀物とによりて収納をえたり ツロはもろもろの國のつどふ市なりき
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.”
シドンよはづべし そは海すなはち海城かくいへり曰く われ苦しまずうまず壯男をやしなはず處女をそだてざりきと
5 When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
この音信のエジプトにいたるとき彼等ツロのおとづれによりて甚くうれふべし
6 Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
なんぢらタルシシにわたれ 海邊のたみよ汝等なきさけぶべし
7 [The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
これは上れる世いにしへよりありし邑おのが足にてうつり遠くたびずまひせる邑なんぢらの樂しみの邑なりしや
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?
斯のごとくツロに對ひてはかりしは誰なるか ツロは冕をさづけし邑 その中のあきうどは君 その中の貿易するものは地のたふとき者なりき
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.
これ萬軍のヱホバの定め給ふところにして すべて華美にかざれる驕奢をけがし地のもろもろの貴者をひくくしたまはんが爲なり
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.
タルシシの女よナイルのごとく己が地にあふれよ なんぢを結びかたむる帶ふたたびなかるべし
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.
ヱホバその手を海の上にのべて國々をふるひうごかし給へり ヱホバ、カナンにつきて詔命をいだしその保砦をこぼたしめたまふ
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.”
彼いひたまはく虐げられたる處女シドンのむすめよ 汝ふたたびよろこぶことなかるべし 起てキツテムにわたれ彼處にてなんぢまた安息をえじ
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.
カルデヤ人のくにを視よ この民はふたたびあることなし アツスリヤ人この國を野のけものの居所にさだめたり かれら櫓をたてもろもろの殿をこぼちて荒墟となせり
14 [So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
タルシシのもろもろの舟よなきさけべ なんぢの保砦はくだかれたり
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:
その日ツロは七十年のあひだ忘れらるべし ひとりの王のながらふる日のかずなり七十年終りてのちツロは妓女のうたの如くならん
16 “You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
さきに忘れられたるうかれめよ琴をとりて城市をへめぐり 巧に弾じておほくの歌をうたひ人にふたたび記念らるべし
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].
七十年をはりてヱホバまたツロを顧みたまはん ツロはふたたびその利潤をえて地のおもてにあるもろもろの國と淫をおこなふべし
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.
その貿易とその獲たる利潤とはきよめてヱホバに獻ぐべければ之をたくはへず積ことをせざるなり その貿易はヱホバの前にをるものの用となり飽くらふ料となり華美なるころもの料とならん
