Isaya 23
1 Neno kuhusu Tiro: Ombolezeni, enyi meli za Tarshishi! Kwa kuwa Tiro imeangamizwa, imeachwa bila nyumba wala bandari. Kuanzia nchi ya Kitimu neno limewajia.

2 Nyamazeni kimya, enyi watu wa kisiwani, pia ninyi wafanyabiashara wa Sidoni, ambao mabaharia wamewatajirisha.

3 Kwenye maji makuu nafaka za Shihori zilikuja; mavuno ya Naili yalikuwa mapato ya Tiro, naye akawa soko la mataifa.
and in/on/with water many seed Shihor harvest Nile produce her and to be profit nation
4 Uaibishwe ee Sidoni, nawe ee ngome la bahari, kwa kuwa bahari imesema: “Sijapata kuwa na uchungu wa kuzaa wala sijapata kuzaa, wala sijapata kulea wana wala kutunza mabinti.”
be ashamed Sidon for to say sea security [the] sea to/for to say not to twist: writh in pain and not to beget and not to magnify youth to exalt virgin
5 Habari ifikapo Misri, watakuwa katika maumivu makuu kwa ajili ya taarifa kutoka Tiro.

7 Je, huu ndio mji wenu uliojaa sherehe, mji wa zamani, zamani kabisa ambao miguu yake imeuchukua kufanya makao nchi za mbali sana?

8 Ni nani amepanga hili dhidi ya Tiro, mji utoao mataji, ambao wafanyabiashara wake ni wana wa mfalme na wachuuzi wake ni watu mashuhuri wa dunia?
who? to advise this upon Tyre [the] to crown which to trade her ruler merchant her to honor: honour land: country/planet
9 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ndiye alipanga jambo hili, ili kukishusha kiburi cha utukufu wote na kuwanyenyekesha wale wote ambao ni mashuhuri duniani.
LORD Hosts to advise her to/for to profane/begin: profane pride all beauty to/for to lighten all to honor: honour land: country/planet
10 Ee Binti Tarshishi, pita katika nchi yako kama vile Mto Naili kwa kuwa huna tena bandari.

11 Bwana amenyoosha mkono wake juu ya bahari na kuzifanya falme zake zitetemeke. Ametoa amri kuhusu Kanaani kwamba ngome zake ziangamizwe.

12 Alisema, “Usizidi kufurahi, ee Bikira Binti Sidoni, sasa umepondwa! “Simama, vuka uende Kitimu; hata huko hutapata pumziko.”
and to say not to add: again still to/for to exult [the] to oppress virgin daughter Sidon (Cyprus *Q(k)*) to arise: rise to pass also there not to rest to/for you
13 Tazama katika nchi ya Wakaldayo, watu hawa ambao sasa hawaonekani kama wapo! Waashuru wameifanya nchi hiyo kuwa mahali pa viumbe wa jangwani. Wamesimamisha minara yao ya vita kuuzunguka, wameziteka ngome zake na kuziacha tupu na kuufanya kuwa magofu.
look! land: country/planet Chaldea this [the] people not to be Assyria to found her to/for wild beast to arise: raise (tower his *Q(k)*) to strip citadel: palace her to set: make her to/for ruin

to wail fleet Tarshish for to ruin security your
15 Wakati huo Tiro utasahauliwa kwa miaka sabini, muda wa maisha ya mfalme. Lakini mwisho wa miaka hiyo sabini, itakuwa kwa Tiro kama ilivyo katika wimbo wa kahaba:
and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it and to forget Tyre seventy year like/as day king one from end seventy year to be to/for Tyre like/as song [the] to fornicate
16 “Twaa kinubi, tembea mjini kote, ewe kahaba uliyesahauliwa; piga kinubi vizuri, imba nyimbo nyingi, ili upate kukumbukwa.”
to take: take lyre to turn: turn city to fornicate to forget be good to play to multiply song because to remember
17 Mwishoni mwa miaka sabini, Bwana atashughulika na Tiro. Naye atarudia ajira yake ya ukahaba, na atafanya biashara yake na falme zote juu ya uso wa dunia.
and to be from end seventy year to reckon: visit LORD [obj] Tyre and to return: return to/for wages her and to fornicate with all kingdom [the] land: country/planet upon face: surface [the] land: planet
18 Lakini faida na mapato yake yatawekwa wakfu kwa Bwana; hayatahifadhiwa wala kufichwa. Faida zake zitakwenda kwa wale wakaao mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya chakula tele na mavazi mazuri.
and to be profit her and wages her holiness to/for LORD not to store and not to hoard for to/for to dwell to/for face: before LORD to be profit her to/for to eat to/for satiety and to/for covering surpassing
