Isaiah 23
1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
Carga de Tiro. Aullád, naves de Társis; porque destruida es, hasta no quedar casa ni entrada: de la tierra de Quitim es revelado a ellos.
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
Callád moradores de la isla, mercader de Sidón: que pasando la mar te henchían.
3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
Su provisión solía ser de las sementeras que crecen con las muchas aguas del Nilo, de la mies del río. Fue también feria de naciones.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”
Avergüénzate Sidón, porque la mar, la fortaleza de la mar, diciendo dijo: Nunca estuve de parto, ni parí, ni crié mancebos, ni levanté vírgenes.
5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
En llegando la fama a Egipto, tendrán dolor de las nuevas de Tiro.
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
Pasáos a Társis: aullád moradores de la isla.
7 Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
¿No es esta vuestra alegre? Su antigüedad de muchos días: sus pies la llevarán a peregrinar lejos,
8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
¿Quién decretó esto sobre Tiro la coronada, cuyos negociantes eran príncipes, cuyos mercaderes los nobles de la tierra?
9 The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.
Jehová de los ejércitos lo decretó, para envilecer la soberbia de toda gloria, y para abatir todos los ilustres de la tierra.
10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
Pásate, como río, de tu tierra a la hija de Társis; porque no tendrás ya más fortaleza.
11 He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.
Extendió su mano sobre la mar: hizo temblar los reinos. Jehová mandó sobre Canaán, que sus fuerzas sean debilitadas.
12 And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”
Y dijo: Nunca más te alegrarás, o! oprimida virgen hija de Sidón. Levántate para pasarte a Quitim; y aun allí no tendrás reposo.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.
Mira la tierra de los Caldeos: este pueblo no era antes: Asur la fundó para las naves, levantando sus fortalezas: minaron sus casas, pusiéronla por tierra.
14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
Aullád naves de Társis, porque destruida es vuestra fortaleza.
15 And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.
Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Tiro será puesta en olvido por setenta años, como días de un rey: después de los setenta años cantará Tiro canción como de ramera.
16 Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.
Toma arpa, y rodea la ciudad, o! ramera olvidada: haz buena melodía, reitera la canción, para que tornes en memoria.
17 And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Y acontecerá, que al fin de los setenta años visitará Jehová a Tiro; y tornarse ha a su ganancia; y otra vez fornicará con todos los reinos de la tierra sobre la haz de la tierra.
18 And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.
Mas su negociación, y su ganancia, será santa a Jehová, no se guardará ni se atesorará; porque su negociación será para los que estuvieren delante de Jehová, para que coman hasta hartarse, y vistan honradamente.
