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, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
2 Umuknite koji živite na ostrvu, koje trgovci Sidonski pomorci puniše.
Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 I dohodi mu bijahu po velikim vodama sjeme Siorsko, žetva s rijeke, i bješe trg narodima.
On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
4 Stidi se, Sidone, jer govori more, sila morska veli: ne muèim se poroðajem, ne raðam, ne odgajam momaka, ne podižem djevojaka.
Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not travailed, nor given birth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”
5 Kao što se ožalostiše kad èuše za Misir, tako æe se ožalostiti kad èuju za Tir.
When the report comes to Egypt [Abode of slavery], they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 Idite u Tarsis, ridajte ostrvljani!
Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
7 Je li to vaš veseli grad, kojega je starina od davnina? njegove æe ga noge zanijeti daleko u tuðinstvo.
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 Ko je to smislio na Tir, koji razdavaše vijence, èiji trgovci bjehu knezovi, i prekupci slavni na zemlji?
Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9 Gospod je nad vojskama to smislio, da osramoti ponos svake slave i da poništi sve slavne na zemlji.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Prijeði preko zemlje svoje kao potok, kæeri Tarsiska; nema više pojasa.
Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
11 Ruku svoju podiže na more, zadrma carstva; Gospod je zapovjedio za Hanan da se raskopaju gradovi njegovi.
He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Adonai has enjoined the destruction of Canaan [Humbled]’s strongholds.
12 I veli: neæeš se više veseliti, osramoæena djevojko, kæeri Sidonska. Ustani, idi u Kitim, ni ondje neæeš imati mira.
He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will 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 [Descendants of Loving-kindness]. This people was not. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.
14 Ridajte laðe Tarsiske, jer je raskopan vaš grad.
Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold 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:
It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
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, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may 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.
It will happen after the end of seventy years that Adonai will visit Tyre, and she shall make teshuvah ·complete return· to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface 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.
Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Adonai. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Adonai, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
