Isaías 23
1 La carga de Tiro. ¡Aullad, naves de Tarsis! Porque está asolada, de modo que no hay casa, ni se puede entrar en ella. Desde la tierra de Kittim se les ha revelado.
A declaration about Tyre: Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for there is neither home nor harbor; from the land of Cyprus it has been revealed to them.
2 Quedaos quietos, habitantes de la costa, vosotros a quienes los mercaderes de Sidón que pasan por el mar han reabastecido.
Be silent, you inhabitants of the coast; the merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, has filled you.
3 Sobre grandes aguas, la semilla del Shihor, la cosecha del Nilo, era su ingreso. Ella era el mercado de las naciones.
Upon the great waters was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her produce; and it became the commerce of the nations.
4 Avergüénzate, Sidón, porque el mar ha hablado, la fortaleza del mar, diciendo: “No he parido, ni he dado a luz, ni he alimentado jóvenes, ni he criado vírgenes.”
Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the mighty one of the sea. He says, “I have not labored nor given birth, nor have I raised young men nor brought up young women.”
5 Cuando el informe llegue a Egipto, se angustiarán ante el informe de Tiro.
When the report comes to Egypt, they will be grieved concerning Tyre.
6 ¡Pasen a Tarsis! ¡Aullad, habitantes de la costa!
Cross over to Tarshish; wail, you inhabitants of the coast.
7 ¿Esta es vuestra ciudad alegre, cuya antigüedad es de días antiguos, cuyos pies la llevaron lejos para viajar?
Has this happened to you, the joyful city, whose origin is from ancient times, whose feet carried her far away to foreign places to settle?
8 ¿Quién ha planeado esto contra Tiro, la dadora de coronas, cuyos mercaderes son príncipes, cuyos comerciantes son los honorables de la tierra?
Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honored ones of the earth?
9 El Señor de los Ejércitos lo ha planeado, para manchar el orgullo de toda gloria, para despreciar a todos los honorables de la tierra.
Yahweh of hosts has planned it to dishonor her pride and all her glory, to shame all her honored ones of the earth.
10 Pasa por tu tierra como el Nilo, hija de Tarsis. Ya no hay freno.
Plow your land, as one plows the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no longer a marketplace in Tyre.
11 Ha extendido su mano sobre el mar. Ha hecho temblar los reinos. El Señor ha ordenado la destrucción de las fortalezas de Canaán.
Yahweh has reached out with his hand over the sea, and he has shaken the kingdoms; he has given a command concerning Phoenicia, to destroy the strongholds.
12 Ha dicho: “No te alegrarás más, virgen oprimida hija de Sidón. Levántate, pasa a Kittim. Ni siquiera allí tendrás descanso”.
He said, “You will not rejoice again, oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; arise, pass over to Cyprus; but neither there you will have rest.”
13 He aquí la tierra de los caldeos. Este pueblo no existía. Los asirios la fundaron para los que habitan en el desierto. Levantaron sus torres. Derribaron sus palacios. La convirtieron en una ruina.
See the land of the Chaldeans. This people has ceased to be; the Assyrians have made it a wilderness for wild animals. They set up their siege towers; they demolished its palaces; they made it a heap of ruins.
14 ¡Aúllen, barcos de Tarsis, porque su fortaleza ha sido destruida!
Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for your refuge has been destroyed.
15 Sucederá en ese día que Tiro será olvidada setenta años, según los días de un rey. Al cabo de los setenta años le sucederá a Tiro como en la canción de la prostituta.
In that day, Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of a king. After the end of seventy years there will happen in Tyre something like in the song of the prostitute.
16 Toma un arpa; recorre la ciudad, prostituta olvidada. Haz una dulce melodía. Canta muchas canciones, para que seas recordada.
Take a harp, go about the city, you forgotten prostitute; play it well, sing many songs, so that you may be remembered.
17 Sucederá después del fin de los setenta años que el Señor visitará a Tiro. Ella volverá a su salario, y jugará a la prostitución con todos los reinos del mundo en la superficie de la tierra.
It will come about that after seventy years, Yahweh will help Tyre, and she will start making money again by doing the work of a prostitute, and she will offer her services to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 Su mercancía y su salario serán la santidad para el Señor. No se atesorará ni se guardará; porque su mercancía será para los que habitan delante de Yahvé, para que coman lo suficiente, y para que tengan ropa duradera.
Her profits and earnings will be set apart to Yahweh. They will not be stored up or kept in the treasury, for her profits will be given to those who live in Yahweh's presence and will be used to supply them with abundant food and so they can have the best quality clothing.
