Jesajas 23
1 Spriedums par Tiru. Kauciet, Taršiša kuģi, jo tur ir posts, ka nama vairs nav, neviens vairs uz turieni neiet. No Ķitiju zemes viņiem šī ziņa nākusi.
A message about Tyre. Howl, people on the ships of Tarshish! Tyre has been destroyed—nothing is left of the houses and the harbor. They heard the news from the people of Cyprus.
2 Paliekat klusu, jūs jūrmalas iedzīvotāji! Sidonas veikalnieki, tie jūras braucēji tevi citkārt pildīja.
Stay shocked into silence, people of the coastlands, merchants of Sidon, and sailors.
3 Un tā sēkla no Šihora un tās upes labība pa lieliem ūdeņiem vesta, bija viņas krājums, un tur bija tas tautu tirgus.
Egyptian grain came across the wide oceans. The Nile's harvest was what made Tyre money; she was the merchant to the nations.
4 Kaunies, Sidona! Jo tā jūra, tā jūras pils runā un saka: es neesmu bijusi grūta, nedz dzemdējusi, ne jaunekļus, ne jaunietes es neesmu uzaudzinājusi.
Feel the shame, Sidon! For the fortress of the sea says, “I have no children, having never been in labor or given birth. I have not brought up young men or brought up young women.”
5 Kad vēsts nonāk uz Ēģipti, tad iztrūcināsies, kas par Tiru dzirdēs.
When the news about Tyre reaches Egypt they will be in agony.
6 Ceļaties pāri uz Taršišu, kauciet, jūs jūrmalas iedzīvotāji.
Sail across to Tarshish! Howl, people of the coastlands!
7 Vai šī ir jūsu līksmā pilsēta, kas cēlusies no vecu veciem laikiem? Viņas kājas to tālu aiznesušas, svešās zemēs apmesties?
Is this really your triumphant city, whose beginnings are from the distant past, who has sent out people to colonize faraway places?
8 Kas to nolēmis par Tiru, to kronētāju, kam veikalnieki ir lielkungi, kam tirgotāji ir tie cienīgie virs zemes?
Who planned this attack on Tyre? Tyre, who created kingdoms, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were honored around the world!
9 Tas Kungs Cebaot to ir nolēmis, ka Viņš kaunā liktu ikvienu glītu greznumu, un negodā visus cienīgos virs zemes.
The Lord Almighty planned it, to humble its pride in all its glory, and to bring down all who receive worldly honor.
10 Pārplūsti pār savu zemi kā upe, tu Taršiša meita! Nava vairs, kas tevi saista.
Work your land, people of Tarshish, as they do beside the Nile, for you don't have a harbor anymore.
11 Viņš Savu roku ir izstiepis pār jūru, valstis Viņš dara drebam. Tas Kungs pavēlējis par Kanaānu, viņas stiprās pilis izdeldēt.
The Lord held his hand out over the sea and shook kingdoms. He has condemned Phoenicia, giving the order to destroy their fortresses.
12 Un Viņš sacījis: tu nelīksmosies vairs, tu apsmietā jaunava, Sidonas meita. Celies pie Ķitijiem, ej projām, arī tur tev dusas nebūs.
He said, “Don't celebrate any more, mistreated virgin daughter of Sidon. Go and sail over to Cyprus—however, even there you won't find rest.”
13 Redzi Kaldeju zemi, šī tauta, kas nav bijusi, (Asurs to tuksneša zvēriem ir sataisījis), tie savus stipros torņus ir uzcēluši un Tirus skaistos namus apgāzuši un to nopostījuši.
Look at the country of the Babylonians, this people that are not as they used to be! The Assyrians have turned it into a place for desert animals. They set up their siege towers, they demolished the fortresses, and ruined the country.
14 Kauciet, Taršiša kuģi, jo jūsu stiprās pilis ir izpostītas.
Howl, people on the ships of Tarshish because your fortress is destroyed!
15 Un notiks tai dienā, tad Tirus taps aizmirsts septiņdesmit gadus, viena ķēniņa mūžu; bet kad tie septiņdesmit gadi būs pagalam, tad Tirum tā ies, kā par mauku dzied:
At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, a king's lifetime, as it were. But at the end of these seventy years, Tyre will be like the song about a prostitute,
16 Ņem kokli, ej apkārt pa pilsētu, tu aizmirstā mauka! Spēlē jautri, dziedi daudz, lai tevi piemin!
“Take a lyre and walk around the city, forgotten prostitute! Play and sing so people will remember you!”
17 Un notiks pēc septiņdesmit gadiem, tad Tas Kungs piemeklēs Tiru, un Tirus atkal tiks pie savas maucības algas, un dzīs maucību ar visām pasaules valstīm, kas virs zemes.
After seventy years, the Lord will restore Tyre. But then she will go back to hiring herself out as a prostitute, selling herself to all the kingdoms of the world.
18 Bet viņa peļņa un viņa maucības alga Tam Kungam tiks svētīta, tā netaps sakrāta nedz glabāta; bet viņu peļņa būs tiem, kas Tā Kunga priekšā dzīvo, ka tie ēd un paēd un glīti apģērbjās.-
However, her profits and what she earns will consecrated to the Lord. They won't be kept or saved up, for her business earnings will go to those who worship the Lord, to provide them with plenty of food and good clothes.
