Isaya 23
1 Tamko kuhusu Tiro, Ombolezeni, enyi kondoo wa Tarishishi;
[the] oracle of Tyre wail - O ships of Tarshish for it has been devastated from house from coming from [the] land of Cyprus it has been revealed to them.
2 maana hakuna nyumba wala bandari; kutoka katika nchi ya Kyprusi wamefunuliwa hilo.
Be silent O inhabitants of [the] coastland [the] trader of Sidon [who] passed over [the] sea they have filled you.
3 Na juu ya maji mengi ni nafaka za shiho, mazao ya Nile, na uzalishaji wao; mlikuwa wafanya biashara wa kimataifa.
And on waters many [was] [the] seed of Shihor [the] harvest of [the] River revenue her and it became [the] traffic of nations.
4 Kuwa na aibu, Sidoni; maana bahari imenena, mkuu wa bahari. Amesema, ''Sijafanya kazi wala kuzaa wala kukuza vijana wadogo wala kuwalea mabinti.
Be ashamed O Sidon for it has said [the] sea [the] stronghold of the sea saying not I have been in labor and not I have given birth and not I have brought up young men I have raised young women.
5 ''Pale taarifa ilipofika Misri, watauzunika kuhusu Tire.
When a report [is] to Egypt people will be in anguish like [the] report of Tyre.
6 Katiza juu ya Tarshishi; Ole wenu, enyi wakazi wa pwani.
Pass over Tarshish towards wail O inhabitants of [the] coastland.
7 Je hili limeshawahi kuwatokea, mji wenye furaha, ambao kwa asili yake umetoka katika kipindi cha kale. Ambapo miguu yake imempeleka mbali kuishi kwenye maeneo ya ugenini?
¿ [is] this Of you jubilant [city] [which is] from days of antiquity beginning its [which] they have carried it feet its from a distance to sojourn.
8 Ni nani aliyepanga haya dhidi ya Tire, mtoa mataji, ambao wafanyabiashara wake ni wakuu, ambao wafanyabiashara ni watu wa kuheshimika duniani?
Who? did he plan this on Tyre which bestows crowns which traders its [were] princes merchants its [were the] honored [people] of [the] earth.
9 Yahwe wa majeshi amepanga kuharibu kiburi chake na utukufu wake, na kuwahaibisha waheshimiwa wote wa dunia.
Yahweh of hosts he planned it to profane [the] pride of all splendor to treat with contempt all [the] honored [people] of [the] earth.
10 Lima katika shamba lako, kama mtu alimavyo Nile, ewe binti Tarishishi. Maana hakuna tena eneo la soko huko Tite.
Pass over land your like the River O daughter of Tarshish there not [is] a restraint still.
11 Yahwe amenyoosha mkono wake juu ya bahari, na ametingisha falme; na amepewa amri juu ya Fonensia, kuziharibu ngome.
Hand his he has stretched out over the sea he has made tremble kingdoms Yahweh he has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy strongholds its.
12 Amesema, ''Hamtofurahia tena, binti bikira wa Sidoni uliyenyanyasika; nyanyuka, pitia Kyprusi; lakini wala hapatakuwa na punziko.''
And he said not you will repeat again to exult O oppressed [one] [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Sidon (Cyprus *Q(k)*) arise pass over also there not it will be rest to you.
13 Tazama nchi ya Wakaldayo. Hawa watu wamesitisha kuishi pale; Waasiria wamelifanya jangwa la wanyama pori. Wameizingira minara; wameliharibu eneo lao; wamelifanya kuwa chungu cha uharibifu.
There! - [the] land of [the] Chaldeans this [is] the people [which] not it was Assyria it allocated it to desert-dwellers they raised up (siege-towers its *Q(k)*) they stripped bare palaces its it made it a ruin.
14 Omboleza ewe kondoo wa Tarishishi; maana kimbilio lako limeharibiwa.
Wail O ships of Tarshish for it has been devastated stronghold your.
15 Katika siku hiyo, Tire itasaulika kwa miaka sabini, kama siku za mfalme. Baada ya miaka sabini kuisha huko Tire kutatokea kitu kama wimbo wa malaya.
And it will be in the day that and [will be] forgotten Tyre seventy year[s] like [the] days of a king one from [the] end of seventy year[s] it will happen to Tyre like [the] song of the prostitute.
16 Chukua kinubi, nenda zunguka mji, mmewasahau malaya; cheza kinubi vizuri, imba nyimbo nyingi, ili uweze kukumbuka.
Take a harp go around [the] city O prostitute forgotten do well to play multiply song so that you may be remembered.
17 Itatokea baada ya miaka sabini, Yahwe ataisaidia Tire, na wataanza kututafuta pesa tena kwa kufanya kazi ya umalaya, na atafanya utumishi wake katika falme za dunia.
And it will be from [the] end of - seventy year[s] he will visit Yahweh Tyre and it will return to hire its and it will act [the] prostitute with all [the] kingdoms of the earth on [the] surface of the earth.
18 Faida yake na mapato yake yatatengwa kwa ajili ya Yahwe. Hayatahifadhiwa wala hayatakuwa na hazina, maana faida yao watapewa wale wanoishi mdhebauni mwa Yahwe na yatatumika kuwasambazia chakula cha kutosha na kupata mavazi yenye viwango bora.
And it will be profit its and hire its a holy thing to Yahweh not it will be stored up and not it will be hoarded for to [those who] dwell before Yahweh it will belong profit its for eating to satiety and for covering magnificent.
