Izaija 23
1 Breme [naselbine] Tir. Tulite, ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti ta je opustošena, tako da tam ni nobene hiše niti vhoda vanjo; od dežele Kitéjcev jim je razodeto.
This is the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.
2 Bodite mirni, vi prebivalci otoka, vi, ki so jih sidónski trgovci, ki prečkajo morje, na novo napolnili.
Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.
3 Ob velikih vodah je seme Šihórja, žetev reke, njeno poplačilo in ona je dobiček narodom.
On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.
4 Bodi osramočen, oh Sidón, kajti morje je spregovorilo, celó moč morja, rekoč: »Ne mučim se, niti ne rojevam otrok, niti ne negujem mladeničev, niti ne vzgajam devic.
Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”
5 Kakor ob poročilu glede Egipta, tako bodo boleče zaskrbljeni ob poročilu iz [naselbine] Tir.
When the report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.
6 Prepeljite se v Taršíš; tulite, vi prebivalci otoka.
Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!
7 Ali je to vaše radostno mesto, katerega starodavnost je od starodavnih dni? Njegova lastna stopala ga bodo odnesla daleč, da začasno biva.
Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?
8 Kdo je sprejel ta nasvet zoper [naselbino] Tir, obkrožujoče mesto, čigar trgovci so princi, čigar preprodajalci so častitljivi [ljudje] zemlje?
Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?
9 Gospod nad bojevniki je to namenil, da omadežuje ponos vse slave in da privede v zaničevanje vse častitljive [ljudi] zemlje.
The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.
10 Prečkaj skozi svojo deželo kakor reka, oh taršíška hči. Tam ni več nobene moči.
Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
11 Svojo roko je iztegnil nad morje, stresel je kraljestva. Gospod je izdal zapoved zoper trgovsko mesto, da uniči njegova močna oporišča.
The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.
12 Rekel je: »Ne boš se več razveseljevala, oh ti zatirana devica, hči sidónska. Vstani, prečkaj h Kitéjcem; tudi tam ne boš imela počitka.
He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”
13 Glej, dežela Kaldejcev; tega ljudstva ni bilo, dokler ga ni Asirec osnoval za tiste, ki prebivajo v divjini. Postavili so njegove stolpe, vzdignili so njegove palače; in privedel ga je do ruševin.
Look at the land of the Chaldeans — a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.
14 Tulite ve ladje iz Taršíša, kajti vaša moč je opustošena.
Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!
15 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bo [naselbina] Tir pozabljena sedemdeset let, glede na dneve enega kralja. Po koncu sedemdesetih let bo [naselbina] Tir pela kakor pocestnica.
At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
16 Vzemi harfo, pojdi okoli mesta, ti pocestnica, ki si bila pozabljena; naredi prijetno melodijo, poj mnoge pesmi, da se te bodo lahko spomnili.
“Take up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”
17 Po koncu sedemdesetih let se bo zgodilo, da bo Gospod obiskal [naselbino] Tir in se obrnil k njenemu plačilu in zagrešila bo prešuštvovanje, z vsemi kraljestvi sveta, na obličju zemlje.
And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
18 Njeno trgovsko blago in njena nagrada bosta sveta Gospodu. To ne bo več shranjeno niti kopičeno, kajti njen trgovski dobiček bo za tiste, ki prebivajo pred Gospodom, da bodo zadostno jedli in za trpežno oblačilo.
Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.
