以賽亞書 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
關於泰爾的預言
23 以下是關於泰爾的預言:
他施的船隻哀號吧!
因為從基提[a]傳來消息,
說泰爾已被毀滅,
房屋和港口都蕩然無存。
2 海邊的居民,西頓[b]的商賈啊,
要靜默無言。
你們的商人飄洋過海,
3 把西曷的糧食、尼羅河流域的農產都運到泰爾。
泰爾成為列國的商埠。
4 西頓啊,你要羞愧!
你這海上的堡壘啊,
大海否認你,說:
「我沒有經歷過產痛,
沒有生過孩子,
也未曾養育過兒女。」
5 埃及人聽見泰爾的消息,
都感到傷痛。
6 海邊的居民啊,你們要去他施!
你們要哀號!
7 這就是你們那歷史悠久、
充滿歡樂的城嗎?
她曾經派人到遠方居住。
8 泰爾曾是封王之地,
她的商賈是王侯,
她的商人名聞天下。
但她如今的遭遇是誰定的?
9 是萬軍之耶和華定的,
為要摧毀因榮耀而生的驕傲,
羞辱世上的尊貴者。
10 他施的人民啊,
要像尼羅河一樣穿行在自己的土地上,
因為再沒有人壓制你們。
11 耶和華已經在大海之上伸出懲罰之手,
使列國震動。
祂已下令毀滅迦南的堡壘。
12 祂說:「受欺壓的西頓人啊,
你們再也不能歡樂了!
你們就是逃到基提,
也得不到安寧。」
13 看看迦勒底人的土地,那裡已杳無人煙!亞述人使它成為野獸出沒之地,他們築起圍城的高臺,摧毀它的宮殿,使它淪為廢墟。
14 他施的船隻都哀號吧!
因為你們的堡壘已被摧毀。
15 到那日,泰爾必被遺忘七十年,正好一個王的壽數。七十年之後,泰爾必如歌中所描述的妓女:
16 「被遺忘的妓女啊,
拿起琴,走遍全城。
要彈得美妙,要多唱幾首歌,
好使人再記起你。」
17 那時,耶和華必眷顧泰爾。她必重操舊業,與天下萬國交易。 18 但她得到的利潤和收入不會被積攢或儲存起來,而是要被獻給耶和華,用來供應那些事奉耶和華的人,使他們吃得飽足,穿得精美。

A Prophecy Against Tyre
23 A prophecy against Tyre:(A)
Wail,(B) you ships(C) of Tarshish!(D)
For Tyre is destroyed(E)
and left without house or harbor.
From the land of Cyprus
word has come to them.
2 Be silent,(F) you people of the island
and you merchants(G) of Sidon,(H)
whom the seafarers have enriched.
3 On the great waters
came the grain of the Shihor;(I)
the harvest of the Nile[a](J) was the revenue of Tyre,(K)
and she became the marketplace of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, Sidon,(L) and you fortress of the sea,
for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(M)
I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”
5 When word comes to Egypt,
they will be in anguish(N) at the report from Tyre.(O)
6 Cross over to Tarshish;(P)
wail, you people of the island.
7 Is this your city of revelry,(Q)
the old, old city,
whose feet have taken her
to settle in far-off lands?
8 Who planned this against Tyre,
the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants(R) are princes,
whose traders(S) are renowned in the earth?
9 The Lord Almighty planned(T) it,
to bring down(U) her pride in all her splendor
and to humble(V) all who are renowned(W) on the earth.
10 Till[b] your land as they do along the Nile,
Daughter Tarshish,
for you no longer have a harbor.
11 The Lord has stretched out his hand(X) over the sea
and made its kingdoms tremble.(Y)
He has given an order concerning Phoenicia
that her fortresses be destroyed.(Z)
12 He said, “No more of your reveling,(AA)
Virgin Daughter(AB) Sidon, now crushed!
“Up, cross over to Cyprus;(AC)
even there you will find no rest.”
13 Look at the land of the Babylonians,[c](AD)
this people that is now of no account!
The Assyrians(AE) have made it
a place for desert creatures;(AF)
they raised up their siege towers,(AG)
they stripped its fortresses bare
and turned it into a ruin.(AH)
15 At that time Tyre(AL) will be forgotten for seventy years,(AM) the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:
16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city,
you forgotten prostitute;(AN)
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
17 At the end of seventy years,(AO) the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution(AP) and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.(AQ) 18 Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord;(AR) they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord,(AS) for abundant food and fine clothes.(AT)

King James Version
23 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
15 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 shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
