Isaija 23
1 Breme Tiru. Ridajte laðe Tarsiske, jer je raskopan, da nema kuæe niti ko dolazi. Iz zemlje Kitimske javi im se.
The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them.
2 Umuknite koji živite na ostrvu, koje trgovci Sidonski pomorci puniše.
Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.
3 I dohodi mu bijahu po velikim vodama sjeme Siorsko, žetva s rijeke, i bješe trg narodima.
The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.
4 Stidi se, Sidone, jer govori more, sila morska veli: ne muèim se poroðajem, ne raðam, ne odgajam momaka, ne podižem djevojaka.
Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
5 Kao što se ožalostiše kad èuše za Misir, tako æe se ožalostiti kad èuju za Tir.
When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:
6 Idite u Tarsis, ridajte ostrvljani!
Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.
7 Je li to vaš veseli grad, kojega je starina od davnina? njegove æe ga noge zanijeti daleko u tuðinstvo.
Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 Ko je to smislio na Tir, koji razdavaše vijence, èiji trgovci bjehu knezovi, i prekupci slavni na zemlji?
Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?
9 Gospod je nad vojskama to smislio, da osramoti ponos svake slave i da poništi sve slavne na zemlji.
The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.
10 Prijeði preko zemlje svoje kao potok, kæeri Tarsiska; nema više pojasa.
Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.
11 Ruku svoju podiže na more, zadrma carstva; Gospod je zapovjedio za Hanan da se raskopaju gradovi njegovi.
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.
12 I veli: neæeš se više veseliti, osramoæena djevojko, kæeri Sidonska. Ustani, idi u Kitim, ni ondje neæeš imati mira.
And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
13 Eto zemlje Haldejske; toga naroda nije bilo; Asur je osnova za one koji življahu u pustinjama, podigoše kule u njoj, pogradiše dvorove; i obrati se u razvaline.
Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin.
14 Ridajte laðe Tarsiske, jer je raskopan vaš grad.
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
15 I tada æe Tir biti zarobljen sedamdeset godina, za vijek jednoga cara, a poslije sedamdeset godina pjevaæe se Tiru kao kurvi:
And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot.
16 Uzmi gusle, idi po gradu, zaboravljena kurvo; dobro udaraj, pjevaj i popijevaj, eda bi te se opet opomenuli.
Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered.
17 Jer poslije sedamdeset godina Gospod æe pohoditi Tir, a on æe se vratiti na kurvarsku zaslugu svoju, i kurvaæe se sa svijem carstvima na zemlji.
And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 Ali æe trgovina njegova i zasluga njegova biti posveæena Gospodu, neæe se ostavljati ni èuvati, nego æe trgovina njegova biti onima koji nastavaju pred Gospodom da jedu do sitosti i imaju odijelo dobro.
And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance.
