Jesajas 23
1 Spriedums par Tiru. Kauciet, Taršiša kuģi, jo tur ir posts, ka nama vairs nav, neviens vairs uz turieni neiet. No Ķitiju zemes viņiem šī ziņa nākusi.
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.
2 Paliekat klusu, jūs jūrmalas iedzīvotāji! Sidonas veikalnieki, tie jūras braucēji tevi citkārt pildīja.
Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3 Un tā sēkla no Šihora un tās upes labība pa lieliem ūdeņiem vesta, bija viņas krājums, un tur bija tas tautu tirgus.
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.
4 Kaunies, Sidona! Jo tā jūra, tā jūras pils runā un saka: es neesmu bijusi grūta, nedz dzemdējusi, ne jaunekļus, ne jaunietes es neesmu uzaudzinājusi.
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.”
5 Kad vēsts nonāk uz Ēģipti, tad iztrūcināsies, kas par Tiru dzirdēs.
When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6 Ceļaties pāri uz Taršišu, kauciet, jūs jūrmalas iedzīvotāji.
Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7 Vai šī ir jūsu līksmā pilsēta, kas cēlusies no vecu veciem laikiem? Viņas kājas to tālu aiznesušas, svešās zemēs apmesties?
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.
8 Kas to nolēmis par Tiru, to kronētāju, kam veikalnieki ir lielkungi, kam tirgotāji ir tie cienīgie virs zemes?
Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
9 Tas Kungs Cebaot to ir nolēmis, ka Viņš kaunā liktu ikvienu glītu greznumu, un negodā visus cienīgos virs zemes.
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.
10 Pārplūsti pār savu zemi kā upe, tu Taršiša meita! Nava vairs, kas tevi saista.
Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
11 Viņš Savu roku ir izstiepis pār jūru, valstis Viņš dara drebam. Tas Kungs pavēlējis par Kanaānu, viņas stiprās pilis izdeldēt.
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.
12 Un Viņš sacījis: tu nelīksmosies vairs, tu apsmietā jaunava, Sidonas meita. Celies pie Ķitijiem, ej projām, arī tur tev dusas nebūs.
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.”
13 Redzi Kaldeju zemi, šī tauta, kas nav bijusi, (Asurs to tuksneša zvēriem ir sataisījis), tie savus stipros torņus ir uzcēluši un Tirus skaistos namus apgāzuši un to nopostījuši.
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.
14 Kauciet, Taršiša kuģi, jo jūsu stiprās pilis ir izpostītas.
Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
15 Un notiks tai dienā, tad Tirus taps aizmirsts septiņdesmit gadus, viena ķēniņa mūžu; bet kad tie septiņdesmit gadi būs pagalam, tad Tirum tā ies, kā par mauku dzied:
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.
16 Ņem kokli, ej apkārt pa pilsētu, tu aizmirstā mauka! Spēlē jautri, dziedi daudz, lai tevi piemin!
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.
17 Un notiks pēc septiņdesmit gadiem, tad Tas Kungs piemeklēs Tiru, un Tirus atkal tiks pie savas maucības algas, un dzīs maucību ar visām pasaules valstīm, kas virs zemes.
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.
18 Bet viņa peļņa un viņa maucības alga Tam Kungam tiks svētīta, tā netaps sakrāta nedz glabāta; bet viņu peļņa būs tiem, kas Tā Kunga priekšā dzīvo, ka tie ēd un paēd un glīti apģērbjās.-
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.
