Isaiah 23
1 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.
论泰尔的默示： 他施的船只都要哀号； 因为泰尔变为荒场， 甚至没有房屋，没有可进之路。 这消息是从基提地得来的。
2 Be silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they filled thee.
沿海的居民， 就是素来靠航海西顿的商家得丰盛的， 你们当静默无言。
3 And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart of nations.
在大水之上， 西曷的粮食、 尼罗河的庄稼是泰尔的进项； 她作列国的大码头。
4 Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.'
西顿哪，你当惭愧； 因为大海说， 就是海中的保障说： 我没有劬劳，也没有生产， 没有养育男子，也没有抚养童女。
5 As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the report of Tyre.
这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
6 Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
泰尔人哪，你们当过到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你们都当哀号。
7 Is this your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn.
这是你们欢乐的城， 从上古而有的吗？ 其中的居民往远方寄居。
8 Who hath counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of earth?'
泰尔本是赐冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的买卖人是世上的尊贵人。 遭遇如此是谁定的呢？
9 Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of earth.
是万军之耶和华所定的！ 为要污辱一切高傲的荣耀， 使地上一切的尊贵人被藐视。
10 Pass through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.
他施的民哪， 可以流行你的地，好像尼罗河； 不再有腰带拘紧你。
11 His hand He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath caused kingdoms to tremble, Jehovah hath charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
耶和华已经向海伸手， 震动列国。 至于迦南， 他已经吩咐拆毁其中的保障。
12 And He saith, 'Thou dost not add any more to exult, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there — there is no rest for thee.'
他又说：受欺压西顿的居民哪， 你必不得再欢乐。 起来！过到基提去； 就是在那里也不得安歇。 （
13 Lo, the land of the Chaldeans — this people was not, Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers, They lifted up her palaces, — He hath appointed her for a ruin!
看哪，迦勒底人之地向来没有这民，这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的。现在他们建筑戍楼，拆毁泰尔的宫殿，使她成为荒凉。）
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For your strength hath been destroyed.
他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
15 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the harlot.
到那时，泰尔必被忘记七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年后，泰尔的景况必像妓女所唱的歌：
16 Take a harp, go round the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered.
你这被忘记的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城内， 巧弹多唱，使人再想念你。
17 And it hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years Jehovah inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift, That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.
七十年后，耶和华必眷顾泰尔，她就仍得利息，与地上的万国交易。
18 And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to Jehovah, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting before Jehovah is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!
她的货财和利息要归耶和华为圣，必不积攒存留；因为她的货财必为住在耶和华面前的人所得，使他们吃饱，穿耐久的衣服。
