Isaiah 23
1 The word about Tyre. Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish, because your strong place is made waste; on the way back from the land of Kittim the news is given to them.
论泰尔的默示： 他施的船只都要哀号； 因为泰尔变为荒场， 甚至没有房屋，没有可进之路。 这消息是从基提地得来的。
2 Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;
沿海的居民， 就是素来靠航海西顿的商家得丰盛的， 你们当静默无言。
3 Who get in the seed of Shihor, whose wealth is the trade of the nations.
在大水之上， 西曷的粮食、 尼罗河的庄稼是泰尔的进项； 她作列国的大码头。
4 Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.
西顿哪，你当惭愧； 因为大海说， 就是海中的保障说： 我没有劬劳，也没有生产， 没有养育男子，也没有抚养童女。
5 When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.
这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。
6 Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.
泰尔人哪，你们当过到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你们都当哀号。
7 Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?
这是你们欢乐的城， 从上古而有的吗？ 其中的居民往远方寄居。
8 By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?
泰尔本是赐冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的买卖人是世上的尊贵人。 遭遇如此是谁定的呢？
9 It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.
是万军之耶和华所定的！ 为要污辱一切高傲的荣耀， 使地上一切的尊贵人被藐视。
10 Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.
他施的民哪， 可以流行你的地，好像尼罗河； 不再有腰带拘紧你。
11 His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.
耶和华已经向海伸手， 震动列国。 至于迦南， 他已经吩咐拆毁其中的保障。
12 And he said, There is no more joy for you, O crushed virgin daughter of Zidon: up! go over to Kittim; even there you will have no rest.
他又说：受欺压西顿的居民哪， 你必不得再欢乐。 起来！过到基提去； 就是在那里也不得安歇。 （
看哪，迦勒底人之地向来没有这民，这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的。现在他们建筑戍楼，拆毁泰尔的宫殿，使她成为荒凉。）
14 Let a cry of sorrow go up, O ships of Tarshish: because your strong place is made waste.
他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。
15 And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.
到那时，泰尔必被忘记七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年后，泰尔的景况必像妓女所唱的歌：
16 Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.
你这被忘记的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城内， 巧弹多唱，使人再想念你。
17 And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
七十年后，耶和华必眷顾泰尔，她就仍得利息，与地上的万国交易。
18 And her goods and her trade will be holy to the Lord: they will not be kept back or stored up; for her produce will be for those living in the Lord's land, to give them food for their needs, and fair clothing.
她的货财和利息要归耶和华为圣，必不积攒存留；因为她的货财必为住在耶和华面前的人所得，使他们吃饱，穿耐久的衣服。
