Izaiáš 23
1 Břímě Týru. Kvělte lodí mořské; nebo popléněn jest, tak že není ani domu. Aniž kdo přichází z země Citim; známé učiněno jest jim.
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Tyre [city]: You [sailors on] [APO] ships from Tarshish, weep, because [the harbor of] Tyre and all the houses [in the city] have been destroyed. The reports that you heard in Cyprus [island] about Tyre [are true].
2 Umlknětež obyvatelé ostrovu, kterýž kupci Sidonští, plavíce se přes moře, naplňovali,
You people who live along the coast [near Tyre], and merchants of Sidon [city], mourn silently. Your sailors went across the seas [to many places like Tyre].
3 A jehož úrody na velikých vodách, símě Sichor, žeň jeho, užitek potoka, a kterýž byl skladem národů.
They sailed across deep seas to buy grain in Egypt and [other] crops that are grown along the Nile [River]. Tyre became the city where people from [all] nations bought and sold goods.
4 Zastyď se, Sidone, nebo praví moře, pevnost mořská, řkuc: Nepracuji ku porodu, a nerodím, a nevychovávám mládenců, aniž odchovávám panen.
But now you people in Sidon should be ashamed, because [you trusted in Tyre], which has been a strong fortress [on an island] in the sea. [Tyre is like a woman who is saying], “[Now it is as though] I have not given birth to [any] children, or raised [any] sons or daughters.”
5 Jakož nad pověstí o Egyptu, tak žalostiti budou nad pověstí o Týru.
When [the people of] Egypt hear what has happened to Tyre, they will grieve very much.
6 Přepravte se do Tarsu, kvělte obyvatelé ostrovu.
Sail to Tarshish [and tell them what happened]; weep, you people who live along the coast.
7 To-liž by se vždycky veselilo? Jestiť starožitnost jeho ode dnů starodávních, ale zavedouť je daleko nohy jeho.
[The people in] the very old city [of Tyre] were [RHQ] previously joyful. Traders [PRS] from Tyre established colonies in many distant nations.
8 Kdo že to usoudil proti Týru, korunujícímu jiné, jehož kupci jsou jako knížata, a kramáři jeho znamenití v zemi?
People from Tyre appointed kings [over other places]; their traders were wealthy; they were [as powerful and wealthy as] [MET] kings. [So], who [RHQ] caused the people of Tyre to experience this disaster?
9 Hospodin zástupů usoudil to, aby zohavil pýchu všelikého slavného, a za nic položil všecky znamenité země.
It was the Commander of the armies of angels who did it; he did it in order to cause [you people in] Tyre not to be proud any more, to humiliate you men who are honored all over the world.
10 Navrať se do země své jako řeka, ó dcero Tarská, neníť tam více ani pasu.
You people of Tarshish, you must grow crops in your land [instead of trading]; spread out over your land like [SIM] the Nile [River] spreads over the land [of Egypt] when it floods, because there is no harbor [in Tyre for your ships] now.
11 Vztáhl ruku svou na moře, pohnul královstvími; Hospodin přikázal o tržišti, aby zkaženy byly pevnosti jeho.
[It is as though] Yahweh stretched out his hand over the sea and shook the kingdoms of the earth. He commanded that in Phoenicia/Canaan all its fortresses must be destroyed.
12 A řekl: Nebudeš se více veseliti, trpěc nátisk, panno, dcero Sidonská. Povstaň, beř se do Citim, ale i tam nebudeš míti odpočinutí.
He said to the people of Sidon, “You will never rejoice again, because you will be crushed; even if you flee to Cyprus [island], you will not escape destruction.”
13 Aj, země Kaldejská, ten lid nebyl lidem. Assur vzdělal ji pro obyvatele pustin, vystavěli věže jejich, vzdělali paláce její, tak že i Assyrii vyvrátil.
Think about what happened in Babylonia: the people who were in that land have disappeared. [The armies of] Assyria have caused that land to become a place where wild animals from the desert live. The Assyrians built dirt ramps to the top of the walls [of the city of Babylon]; [then they entered the city and] tore down the palaces and caused the city to become [a heap of] rubble.
14 Kvělte lodí mořské, nebo zpuštěna jest pevnost vaše.
[So] wail, you [sailors on the] ships of Tarshish, because the harbor [in Tyre where your ships stop] is destroyed!
15 I stane se v ten den, že v zapomenutí bude Týrus za sedmdesáte let, jako za věk krále jednoho. Do skonání sedmdesáti let bude míti Týrus jako písničku nevěstky.
For seventy years, which is as long as kings usually live, people will forget about Tyre. [But then it will be rebuilt]. What will happen there will be like what happened to a prostitute in this song:
16 Vezmi harfu, obcházej město, ó nevěstko v zapomenutí daná, hrej dobře, zpívej dlouho, abys v pamět uvedena byla.
“You harlot, whom people had forgotten, play your harp well, and sing many songs, in order that people will remember you again.”
17 I bude po dokonání sedmdesáti let, že navštíví Hospodin Týr, ale on navrátí se zase k nevěstčí mzdě své, a smilniti bude se všemi královstvími země na okršlku světa.
[It is true that] after seventy years Yahweh will restore Tyre. Their merchants will again earn a lot of money by buying things from and selling things to many [other] nations [HYP].
18 Však kupectví jeho a mzda jeho svatá bude Hospodinu. Nebude na poklad skládána, ani schovávána, ale pro ty, kteříž přebývají před Hospodinem, bude kupectví jeho, aby jedli do sytosti, a měli roucho dobré.
[But] their profits will be given to Yahweh. [The merchants] will not hoard their money; instead, they will give it to Yahweh’s priests in order that they [can] buy food and nice clothes.
