< Ishacyaah 23 >
1 Kanu waa warka culus ee Turos ku saabsan. Doonniyaha Tarshiishow, baroorta, waayo, way baabba'day, guri iyo irid la galo midna ma leh, waxaana iyaga looga muujiyey dalka Kitiim.
[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 Kuwiinnan gasiiradda deggan ee baayacmushtariyaasha Siidoon oo badda gudbayaa ay alaab ka buuxiyeenow, aamusa.
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 Biyaha badan waxaa laga keenay sarreenkii Shiixoor iyo waxa beerihii Webi Niil laga goostay oo faa'iidadeedii ahaa, oo iyadu waxay noqotay suuqii quruumaha.
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 Siidoonay, ceebow, waayo, baddii way hadashay, oo qalcaddii baddu waxay tidhi, Anigu ma foolan, carruurna ma dhalin, barbaarrona ma korin, gabdhona ma korin.
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 Markii warku Masar soo gaadho aad bay warka Turos uga xanuunsan doonaan.
When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
6 Tarshiish xaggeeda u gudba. Kuwiinna gasiiradda degganow, baroorta.
Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
7 Tanu ma magaaladiinnii waa hore jirtay oo faraxsanayd baa oo cagaheeda meel fog u waday inay dal shisheeye degto aawadeed?
[The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
8 Yaa taladan u goostay Turos oo ahayd magaaladii taajajka bixisay, oo baayacmushtariyaasheedu amiirro ahaayeen, oo geddisleydeeduna ay ahaayeen kuwii dhulka sharafta ku lahaa?
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 Rabbiga ciidammada ayaa waxaas u qasdiyey inuu jebiyo kibirka faanka oo dhan, iyo inuu ka dhigo in kuwa dhulka sharafta ku leh oo dhan la quudhsado.
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 Reer Tarshiishow, bal dalkaaga dhex mar sida Webi Niil oo kale. Innaba wax ku celiya oo dambe ma jiraan.
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 Isagu wuxuu gacantiisa ku fidiyey badda korkeeda, oo boqortooyooyinkiina wuu gariiriyey. Rabbigu wuxuu amar ku bixiyey in la dumiyo qalcadaha Kancaan.
[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 Oo isagu wuxuu yidhi, Dadka Siidoon oo ah sida bikrad la nijaaseeyeyow, mar dambe ma farxi doontid. Kac, oo xagga Kitiim u gudub, oo xataa halkaasna nasasho kama heli doontid.
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 Bal dalka reer Kaldayiin fiiriya, dadkaasu ma jirin. Kii reer Ashuur kuwii cidlada degganaa ayuu u aasaasay, munaaradaa la dhisay, daaraheedii waaweynaana waa la dumiyey, oo baabba' buu ka dhigay.
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 Doonniyaha Tarshiishow, baroorta, waayo, qalcaddiinnii waa la baabbi'iyey.
[So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
15 Oo waxay wakhtigaas noqon doontaa in Turos la illoobi doono toddobaatan sannadood, oo ah sida boqor wakhtigiis. Oo toddobaatankaas sannadood markay dhammaadaan ayaa Turos waxaa laga heesi doonaa sida dhillada oo kale.
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 Dhilladii la illoobayay, kataarad qaado, oo magaalada ku dhex wareeg, oo luuq macaan luuqee, oo heeso badan hees, si lagugu soo xusuusto aawadeed.
“You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
17 Oo toddobaatanka sannadood markay dhammaadaan ayaa Rabbigu Turos soo booqan doonaa, oo waxay ku soo noqon doontaa kiradeedii, oo waxay dhulka kaga dhillaysan doontaa boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhan.
[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 Laakiinse baayacmushtarigeeda iyo kiradeedaba quduus baa Rabbiga looga dhigi doonaa, lama urursan doono, lamana kaydsan doono, waayo, baayacmushtarigeedu wuxuu u ahaan doonaa kuwa Rabbiga hortiisa jooga inay wax ku filan cunaan oo ay dhar raagaya xidhaan.
[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.
