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].
Pezo de Tyro. Uivai, navios de Tharsis, porque já assolada está até n'ella casa nenhuma mais ficar e n'ella ninguem mais entrar: desde a terra de Chittim lhes foi isto revelado.
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].
Calae-vos, moradores da ilha, vós a quem encheram os mercadores de Sidon, navegando pelo mar.
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.
E a sua provisão era a semente de Sichor, que vinha com as muitas aguas da sega do rio, e era a feira das nações.
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.”
Envergonha-te, ó Sidon, porque já o mar, a fortaleza do mar, falla, dizendo: Eu não tive dôres de parto, nem pari, nem ainda creei mancebos, nem eduquei donzellas.
5 When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
Como com as novas do Egypto, assim haverá dôres quando se ouvirem as de Tyro.
6 Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
Passae a Tharsis: uivae, moradores da ilha.
7 [The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
É esta porventura a vossa cidade que andava pulando de alegria? cuja antiguidade é dos dias antigos? pois leval-a-hão os seus proprios pés para longe andarem a peregrinar.
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?
Quem formou este designio contra Tyro, a coroadora? cujos mercadores são principes e cujos negociantes os mais nobres da terra?
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.
O Senhor dos Exercitos formou este designio para profanar a soberba de todo o ornamento, e envilecer os mais nobres da terra.
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.
Passa-te como rio pela tua terra, ó filha de Tharsis, pois já não ha precinta.
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.
A sua mão estendeu sobre o mar, e turbou os reinos: o Senhor deu mandado contra Canaan, que se destruissem as suas fortalezas.
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.”
E disse: Nunca mais pularás de alegria, ó opprimida donzella, filha de Sidon: levanta-te, passa a Chittim, e ainda ali não terás descanço.
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.
Vêde a terra dos chaldeos, ainda este povo não era povo; a Assyria o fundou para os que moravam no deserto: levantaram as suas fortalezas, e edificaram os seus paços; porém a arruinou de todo.
14 [So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
Uivae, navios de Tharsis, porque já é destruida a vossa força.
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:
E será n'aquelle dia que Tyro será posta em esquecimento por setenta annos, como os dias d'um rei: porém no fim de setenta annos haverá em Tyro cantigas, como a cantiga d'uma prostituta.
16 “You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
Toma a harpa, rodeia a cidade, ó prostituta entregue ao esquecimento; toca bem, canta e repete a aria, para que haja memoria de ti.
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].
Porque será no fim de setenta annos que o Senhor visitará a Tyro, e se tornará á sua ganancia de prostituta, e fornicará com todos os reinos da terra que ha sobre a face da terra.
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.
E o seu commercio e a sua ganancia de prostituta será consagrado ao Senhor; não se enthesourará, nem se fechará; mas o seu commercio será para os que habitam perante o Senhor, para que comam até se saciarem, e tenham vestimenta duravel.
