以賽亞書 23
1 論泰爾的默示： 他施的船隻都要哀號； 因為泰爾變為荒場， 甚至沒有房屋，沒有可進之路。 這消息是從基提地得來的。
The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. It is revealed to them from the land of Kittim.
2 沿海的居民， 就是素來靠航海西頓的商家得豐盛的， 你們當靜默無言。
Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast, thou whom the merchants of Sidon, who pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 在大水之上， 西曷的糧食、 尼羅河的莊稼是泰爾的進項； 她作列國的大碼頭。
And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue, and she was the mart of nations.
4 西頓哪，你當慚愧； 因為大海說， 就是海中的保障說： 我沒有劬勞，也沒有生產， 沒有養育男子，也沒有撫養童女。
Be thou ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.
5 這風聲傳到埃及； 埃及人為泰爾的風聲極其疼痛。
When the report comes to Egypt, they shall be greatly pained at the report of Tyre.
6 泰爾人哪，你們當過到他施去； 沿海的居民哪，你們都當哀號。
Pass ye over to Tarshish. Wail, ye inhabitants of the coast.
7 這是你們歡樂的城， 從上古而有的嗎？ 其中的居民往遠方寄居。
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
8 泰爾本是賜冠冕的。 她的商家是王子； 她的買賣人是世上的尊貴人。 遭遇如此是誰定的呢？
Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the honored of the earth?
9 是萬軍之耶和華所定的！ 為要污辱一切高傲的榮耀， 使地上一切的尊貴人被藐視。
Jehovah of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 他施的民哪， 可以流行你的地，好像尼羅河； 不再有腰帶拘緊你。
Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, there is no restraint any more.
11 耶和華已經向海伸手， 震動列國。 至於迦南， 他已經吩咐拆毀其中的保障。
He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Jehovah has given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds of it.
12 他又說：受欺壓西頓的居民哪， 你必不得再歡樂。 起來！過到基提去； 就是在那裏也不得安歇。 （
And he said, Thou shall no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there shall thou have no rest.
13 看哪，迦勒底人之地向來沒有這民，這國是亞述人為住曠野的人所立的。現在他們建築戍樓，拆毀泰爾的宮殿，使她成為荒涼。）
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people once was not. The Assyrian founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They raised up the palaces of it. Then they made it a ruin.
14 他施的船隻都要哀號， 因為你們的保障變為荒場。
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
15 到那時，泰爾必被忘記七十年，照着一王的年日。七十年後，泰爾的景況必像妓女所唱的歌：
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it shall be to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
16 你這被忘記的妓女啊， 拿琴周流城內， 巧彈多唱，使人再想念你。
Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot who has been forgotten. Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou may be remembered.
17 七十年後，耶和華必眷顧泰爾，她就仍得利息，與地上的萬國交易。
And it came to pass after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah examined Tyre, and she has repented of her gift, that she play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 她的貨財和利息要歸耶和華為聖，必不積攢存留；因為她的貨財必為住在耶和華面前的人所得，使他們吃飽，穿耐久的衣服。
And her merchandise and her pay shall be holiness to Jehovah. It shall not be treasured nor laid up, for her merchandise shall be for those who dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
