Isaiah 23
1 The birthun of Tire. Ye schippis of the see, yelle, for the hous is distried, fro whennus coumfort was wont to come; fro the lond of Cethym, and was schewid to hem.
有關提洛的神諭：你們哀號罷！塔爾史士的船隻！因為你們的保壘已遭破壞。由基廷地歸來的，他們得到了這消息。
2 Be ye stille, that dwellen in the ile, the marchaundie of Sidon; men passynge the see filliden thee in many watris;
海濱的居民，靜默罷！漆冬的商賈曾充實了你。
3 the seed of Nylus is heruest, the flood is the corn therof, and it is maad the marchaundie of hethene men.
在大水之上運來的，是史曷爾的穀物；尼羅河的收穫，是她的財富；她成了萬民的商場。
4 Thou, Sidon, be aschamed, seide the see, the strengthe of the see, and seide, Y trauelide not of child, and Y childide not, and Y nurschide not yonge men, and Y brouyte not fulli virgyns to encreessyng.
漆冬！羞慚罷！因為海說過：【即海中的保壘說過：】「我沒有分娩過，也沒有生產過；沒有撫養過青年，也沒有養育過處女。」
5 Whanne it schal be herd in Egipt, thei schulen make sorewe, whanne thei heren of Tire.
這風聲一傳到了埃及，大家都為了提洛的消息而戰慄。
6 Passe ye the sees; yelle ye, that dwellen in the ile.
你門過海到塔爾史士去罷！海濱的居民你們哀號罷！
7 Whether this citee is not youre, that hadde glorie fro elde daies in his eldnesse? the feet therof schulen lede it fer, to go in pilgrymage.
這就是你們所誇耀的城嗎﹖她本起源於上古，她的雙腳曾將她帶至遠方寄居。
8 Who thouyte this thing on Tire sum tyme crownede, whos marchauntis weren princes, the selleris of marchaundie therof weren noble men of erthe?
是誰策劃了這事，來反對加過冕的提洛﹖她得商賈本來都是王侯，商販本來都是地上的顯要。
9 The Lord of oostis thouyte this thing, that he schulde drawe doun the pride of al glorie, and that he schulde bringe to schenschipe alle the noble men of erthe.
是萬軍的上主策劃了這事，為打擊她一切自矜的狂傲，侮辱地上所有的顯要。
10 Thou douyter of the see, passe thi lond as a flood; a girdil is no more to thee.
塔爾史士女兒！耕種你的地罷！海港也不在了！
11 It stretchide forth his hond aboue the see, and disturblide rewmes. The Lord sente ayenes Canaan, for to al to-breke the stronge men therof;
上主的手已伸在海上，使萬國戰慄震驚；上主對客納罕已決定，要摧毀她的要塞。
12 and he seide, Thou maide, the douyter of Sidon, that suffrist caleng, schalt no more adde, that thou haue glorie. Rise thou, and passe ouer the see in to Sechym; there also no reste schal be to thee.
他說過：「漆冬女兒！遭虐待的處女，你不要再歡樂！起來，往基廷去！在那裏你也得不到安寧！」
13 Lo! the lond of Caldeis, sich a puple was not; Assur foundide that Tyre; thei ledden ouer in to caitifte the strong men therof; thei myneden the housis therof, thei settiden it in to fallyng.
看基廷的地域！【她已不成為民族，亞述已將她委棄予野獸；】人設立了高塔，毀壞了她的宮殿，使她成了一片廢 墟。
14 Yelle, ye schippis of the see, for youre strengthe is distried.
塔爾史士的船隻！ 你們哀號罷！ 因為你們的保壘已遭破壞！
15 And it schal be, in that dai, thou Tire, schalt be in foryetyng bi seuenti yeer, as the daies of o king; but aftir seuenti yeer, as the song of an hoore schal be to Tyre.
到那天，提洛將被遺忘七十年之久，有如一位君王的歲月。過了七十年，提洛要像妓女歌曲中所唱的：「
16 Thou hoore, youun to foryetyng, take an harpe, cumpasse the citee; synge thou wel, vse thou ofte a song, that mynde be of thee.
被遺忘的妓女！拿琴遊城罷﹖巧彈多唱罷！好使人再記起你來！」
17 And it schal be, aftir seuenti yeer, the Lord schal visite Tire, and schal brynge it ayen to hise hiris; and eft it schal be, whanne it schal do fornycacioun with alle rewmes of erthe, on the face of erthe.
過了七十年，上主要眷顧提洛，她要再接受纏頭，與地面世上各國交易。
18 And the marchaundies therof and the meedis therof schulen be halewid to the Lord; tho schulen not be hid, nethir schulen be leid vp; for whi the marchaundie therof schal be to hem that dwellen bifore the Lord, that thei ete to fulnesse, and be clothid `til to eldnesse.
她的贏利和她的進項將祝聖與上主，必不再貯藏積蓄起來，因為她的贏利將歸於那些在上主面前度日的人，使他們吃得飽，穿得體面。
