Isaiah 23

1 This is the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.

1 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 Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.

2 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 On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.

3 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 ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”

4 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 report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

5 这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。

6 Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

6 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 your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?

7 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 Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?

8 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 The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

9 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 Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.

10 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 The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

11 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 He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will find no rest.”

12 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。 （

13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans—a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.

13 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 Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!

14 他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。

15 At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

15 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 up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”

16 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 at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

17 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 Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.

18 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。
