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.
Neno kuhusu Tiro: Ombolezeni, enyi meli za Tarshishi! Kwa kuwa Tiro imeangamizwa, imeachwa bila nyumba wala bandari. Kuanzia nchi ya Kitimu neno limewajia.
2 Be ye stille, that dwellen in the ile, the marchaundie of Sidon; men passynge the see filliden thee in many watris;
Nyamazeni kimya, enyi watu wa kisiwani, pia ninyi wafanyabiashara wa Sidoni, ambao mabaharia wamewatajirisha.
3 the seed of Nylus is heruest, the flood is the corn therof, and it is maad the marchaundie of hethene men.
Kwenye maji makuu nafaka za Shihori zilikuja; mavuno ya Naili yalikuwa mapato ya Tiro, naye akawa soko la mataifa.
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.
Uaibishwe ee Sidoni, nawe ee ngome la bahari, kwa kuwa bahari imesema: “Sijapata kuwa na uchungu wa kuzaa wala sijapata kuzaa, wala sijapata kulea wana wala kutunza mabinti.”
5 Whanne it schal be herd in Egipt, thei schulen make sorewe, whanne thei heren of Tire.
Habari ifikapo Misri, watakuwa katika maumivu makuu kwa ajili ya taarifa kutoka Tiro.
6 Passe ye the sees; yelle ye, that dwellen in the ile.
Vukeni mpaka Tarshishi, ombolezeni, enyi watu wa kisiwani.
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.
Je, huu ndio mji wenu uliojaa sherehe, mji wa zamani, zamani kabisa ambao miguu yake imeuchukua kufanya makao nchi za mbali sana?
8 Who thouyte this thing on Tire sum tyme crownede, whos marchauntis weren princes, the selleris of marchaundie therof weren noble men of erthe?
Ni nani amepanga hili dhidi ya Tiro, mji utoao mataji, ambao wafanyabiashara wake ni wana wa mfalme na wachuuzi wake ni watu mashuhuri wa dunia?
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.
Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ndiye alipanga jambo hili, ili kukishusha kiburi cha utukufu wote na kuwanyenyekesha wale wote ambao ni mashuhuri duniani.
10 Thou douyter of the see, passe thi lond as a flood; a girdil is no more to thee.
Ee Binti Tarshishi, pita katika nchi yako kama vile Mto Naili kwa kuwa huna tena bandari.
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;
Bwana amenyoosha mkono wake juu ya bahari na kuzifanya falme zake zitetemeke. Ametoa amri kuhusu Kanaani kwamba ngome zake ziangamizwe.
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.
Alisema, “Usizidi kufurahi, ee Bikira Binti Sidoni, sasa umepondwa! “Simama, vuka uende Kitimu; hata huko hutapata pumziko.”
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.
Tazama katika nchi ya Wakaldayo, watu hawa ambao sasa hawaonekani kama wapo! Waashuru wameifanya nchi hiyo kuwa mahali pa viumbe wa jangwani. Wamesimamisha minara yao ya vita kuuzunguka, wameziteka ngome zake na kuziacha tupu na kuufanya kuwa magofu.
14 Yelle, ye schippis of the see, for youre strengthe is distried.
Ombolezeni, enyi meli za Tarshishi; ngome yenu imeangamizwa!
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.
Wakati huo Tiro utasahauliwa kwa miaka sabini, muda wa maisha ya mfalme. Lakini mwisho wa miaka hiyo sabini, itakuwa kwa Tiro kama ilivyo katika wimbo wa kahaba:
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.
“Twaa kinubi, tembea mjini kote, ewe kahaba uliyesahauliwa; piga kinubi vizuri, imba nyimbo nyingi, ili upate kukumbukwa.”
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.
Mwishoni mwa miaka sabini, Bwana atashughulika na Tiro. Naye atarudia ajira yake ya ukahaba, na atafanya biashara yake na falme zote juu ya uso wa dunia.
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.
Lakini faida na mapato yake yatawekwa wakfu kwa Bwana; hayatahifadhiwa wala kufichwa. Faida zake zitakwenda kwa wale wakaao mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya chakula tele na mavazi mazuri.
