Aizaia 23

1 Hagi Tairi kumate'ma fore'ma hania zamofo kasnampa naneke ama'ne, Tasisi kumate ventemotma zavi krafa huta zaviteho. Na'ankure Tairi kumamo'ene ventemo'ma enemania kumamo'a havizantfa hu'ne. Hagi ana kuma'ma havizama hu'nea zamofo nanekea hageri amunompi me'nea kuma Saiprusiti eme zamasami'naze.

[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].

2 Hagerimofo ankenaregama nemaniza vahe'motane, Saidoni rankumate'ma fenozama zagore'ma netraza vahe'motanena tamasunku nehuta akoheta maniho. Tamagrite'ma fenoma eriza zagore'ma eme atrenakura hagerimpi neaze.

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].

3 Hagi kagripintira feno vahe'mo'za hagerimofo agofetu vano nehu'za, nanazana zagore kokankona ome atre'za vano nehaze. Naeli timofo ankenaregati witia eri'za zagoa eme retro nehaze. Tairi kumamoka maka mopafi vahe'mo'za e'zama maka'zama zagore'ma netraza kuma me'nane.

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.

4 Saidoni kumamoka tusi kagazegu huo, na'ankure hagerimo'ene hanave vihuma hu'nea hagerimo'enena amanage nehie, nagra mofavrema antenaku'ma atagu'ma nehiazana nosu'na, mofavrea nontena, mofa'nene ne' mofavreraminena kegava osu'noe.

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.”

5 Hagi Isipi vahe'mo'zama Tairi rankumate'ma fore'ma hia zamofo agenkema antahisu'za, tusi antahintahi hakare hugahaze.

When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.

6 Hagerimofo ankenaregama nemaniza vahe'mota, tamasunku huta zavi neteta, koro freta hagerina takaheta Tasisi kumate viho.

Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.

7 Tairi kumara hentofa kuma korapa menege'za ana kumapina tusi musenkase nehaza kuma me'ne. Korapara ana kumapi vahe'mo'za mago'a vahera huzmantage'za afete moparega vu'za e'za hu'za, ranra kumatmina ome azeri oti, eme azeri oti hu'naza kuma me'ne.

[The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.

8 Ina vahe'mo ana knazana retro hu'nea knazamo Tairi kumatera forera nehie? Ama ana kumapintike'za kini vahera zamazeri fore nehie. Ama ana kumapi zago vahera mani'nage'za, kokankokatira ra zamagia nezamiza kuma me'ne.

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?

9 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo ama ana knazana fore hugahie huno retro hunte'nea zamo efore hu'ne. Na'ankure hankavezamigu zamagesa nentahi'za zamagi erisga nehaza vahe'ene, kokankokati'ma ra zamagima nezamiza vahe zamazeri zamagaze hunaku Anumzamo'a anara hu'ne.

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.

10 Naeli timo'ma tima hagenoma eri harafi'ma huno eviaza huta Tasisi vahe'mota mago'zamo'a tamaze orinigeta mopatamifina amne vuta eta hugahaze.

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.

11 Ra Anumzamo'a azana hagerimofo agofetu rusuteno, kini vahe'mo'zama kegavama hu'naza kumatmina azeri tore nehuno, Kenani mopafima hankavenentake fraki kuma'ma ki'naza kumatamina eri haviza hugahue hu'ne.

[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.

12 Hagi Agra amanage hu'ne, Saidoni kumamoka ko'ma nehazaza hu'za husga huogantegahaze. Na'ankure evuraminka havizantfa hu'nane. Menina otitma hageri amu'nompi me'nea kumate Saiprusi vugahaze. Hianagi ana kumate'enena mani frua huta omanigahaze.

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.”

13 Hanki menina Kaldia vahe mopa keho. Anampina vahera magore hu'za omani'naze. Na'ankure Asiria vahe'mo'za e'za kumazamia eri haviza hazageno, mopazamifina afi zagagafamo'za avite'naze. Asiria vahe'mo'za kuma kegina zamimofo tvaontera zaza no ki'za mani'ne'za hara huzmante'za hankavenentake vihu zamia tapage tapagu hu'za eri haviza hu'naze.

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.

14 Tasisi kumate ranra ventema hageri agofetu'ma vanoma nehaza ventemota tamasunku huta zavi ateho. Na'ankure hankavenentake vihuma hu'naza kumatmimo'a hago haviza hu'ne.

[So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!

15 Hagi ana zama fore huno evutesanige'za, mago kini ne'moma nemania kna huno 70'a kafumofo agu'afi, Tairi kumara zamagera kanintegahaze. Hianagi ana 70'a kafuma evutesnigeno'a, mago monko a'mofo agire vare zagame'ma nehaza zagamemo'a, Tairi kumamofo avate fore hugahie. Ana zagamepina amanage hu'ne.

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:

16 Monko a'moka vahe'mo'za antahiogamizanki mago hapue nehaza zavena eritenka, ran kumamofo amu'nompi vano nehunka, zavena aheso'e hunka nehenka, rama'a zagame nehuge'za vahe'mo'za ete antahigamiho.

“You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”

17 Hagi ana 70'a kafuma evutesnigeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Tairi kumara atresanigeno, monko a'mo'ma nehiaza huno maka ama mopafi kini vahe'ene zagore savri huno vano hugahie.

[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].

18 Hianagi Tairi kumamo'ma eri'nia zagomofo ante agofetuma huno'ma aminia amema'a, agra erinte ruotage hanigeno Ra Anumzamofo su'zane huno ruotage huno megahie. Ana'ma hanageno'a ne'zana rama'a me'nesnige'za Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahe'mo'za nene'za, knare'nare kukena rama'a me'nesnige'za antanigahaze.

[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.
