以赛亚书 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
关于泰尔的预言
23 以下是关于泰尔的预言：
他施的船只哀号吧！
因为从基提[a]传来消息，
说泰尔已被毁灭，
房屋和港口都荡然无存。
2 海边的居民，西顿[b]的商贾啊，
要静默无言。
你们的商人飘洋过海，
3 把西曷的粮食、尼罗河流域的农产都运到泰尔。
泰尔成为列国的商埠。
4 西顿啊，你要羞愧！
你这海上的堡垒啊，
大海否认你，说：
“我没有经历过产痛，
没有生过孩子，
也未曾养育过儿女。”
5 埃及人听见泰尔的消息，
都感到伤痛。
6 海边的居民啊，你们要去他施！
你们要哀号！
7 这就是你们那历史悠久、
充满欢乐的城吗？
她曾经派人到远方居住。
8 泰尔曾是封王之地，
她的商贾是王侯，
她的商人名闻天下。
但她如今的遭遇是谁定的？
9 是万军之耶和华定的，
为要摧毁因荣耀而生的骄傲，
羞辱世上的尊贵者。
10 他施的人民啊，
要像尼罗河一样穿行在自己的土地上，
因为再没有人压制你们。
11 耶和华已经在大海之上伸出惩罚之手，
使列国震动。
祂已下令毁灭迦南的堡垒。
12 祂说：“受欺压的西顿人啊，
你们再也不能欢乐了！
你们就是逃到基提，
也得不到安宁。”
13 看看迦勒底人的土地，那里已杳无人烟！亚述人使它成为野兽出没之地，他们筑起围城的高台，摧毁它的宫殿，使它沦为废墟。
14 他施的船只都哀号吧！
因为你们的堡垒已被摧毁。
15 到那日，泰尔必被遗忘七十年，正好一个王的寿数。七十年之后，泰尔必如歌中所描述的妓女：
16 “被遗忘的妓女啊，
拿起琴，走遍全城。
要弹得美妙，要多唱几首歌，
好使人再记起你。”
17 那时，耶和华必眷顾泰尔。她必重操旧业，与天下万国交易。 18 但她得到的利润和收入不会被积攒或储存起来，而是要被献给耶和华，用来供应那些事奉耶和华的人，使他们吃得饱足，穿得精美。

關於推羅的預言
23 關於推羅的默示：
他施的船隻啊，要哀號！
因為推羅被毀滅了，再沒有房屋，也不能再作港口，
這消息是他們從塞浦路斯地得來的。
2 沿海的居民，
就是靠航海致富的西頓商人哪！
要靜默無言。
3 在大水之上，
西曷的穀物、尼羅河的莊稼，都是推羅的收益，
推羅成了列國的市場。
4 西頓啊，要慚愧！
因為大海說過，就是海上的保障說過：
“我沒有受過產痛，也沒有生產；
我沒有養大過男孩，也沒有撫養過童女。”
5 這消息傳到埃及時，
埃及人就為推羅這消息非常傷痛。
6 你們要過到他施去；
沿海的居民哪，要哀號！
7 這就是你們歡樂的城嗎？
它的起源溯自上古，
它的腳把其中的居民帶到遠方去寄居。
8 誰策劃這事來攻擊推羅呢？它本是賜人冠冕的城，
它的商人是王子，它的商賈是世上的尊貴人。
9 這是萬軍之耶和華所定的旨意，
要凌辱那些因榮美而有狂傲，
使地上所有的尊貴人被藐視。
10 他施的居民哪！要像尼羅河一般流遍你的地，
再沒有限制了。
11 耶和華已經向海伸手，
使列國震動；
耶和華又發出一個關於迦南的吩咐，
就是要毀壞其中的保障。
12 他又說：“受壓制的西頓居民哪，
你們不再有歡樂了！
起來，過到塞浦路斯去！就是在那裡，你們也得不到安息。”
13 看哪！使推羅成為曠野，走獸居住之處的，是來自迦勒底地的人，而不是亞述人；他們要築起攻城的高塔，拆毀推羅的城堡，使它成為廢墟。
14 他施的船隻啊，要哀號！
因為你們的保障已被毀滅了。
七十年後推羅再蒙眷顧
15 到那日，推羅必被忘記七十年，正如一個王朝的年日；七十年後，推羅必像妓女所唱之歌：
16 “你被遺忘的妓女啊！
拿起琴來，走遍全城吧。
你要巧彈多唱，
使人再想起你！”
17 七十年後，耶和華必眷顧推羅，推羅就恢復繁榮，可以與地上的萬國交易。 18 它的貨財和所得的利益要分別為聖歸給耶和華，必不會積聚或儲藏起來；因為它的貨財必歸給那些住在耶和華面前的人，使他們吃得飽足，穿得漂亮。

Isaiah 23

God’s Message to Lebanon
23 This is a ·message [prophecy; oracle; burden] about Tyre [C port city in Phoenicia, north of Israel; present-day Lebanon]:
You ·trading ships [L ships of Tarshish; C western port city, probably in Spain; 2:16], ·cry [wail]!
The houses and harbor of Tyre are ·destroyed [devastated; laid waste].
This news came to the ships
from the land of ·Cyprus [L the Kittim; C the people of Cyprus, an island west of Israel].
2 ·Be silent [or Mourn in silence], you who live on the ·island of Tyre [or coastland];
you merchants of Sidon [C port city of Phoenica], be silent.
·Sailors have made you rich [or …whose messengers have crossed the sea].
3 They traveled ·the sea [the great waters; or many seas] to bring ·grain from Egypt [L the grain of Shihor; C the east branch of the Nile in Egypt];
the harvest of the Nile was Tyre’s ·profit [revenue];
she was the marketplace of the nations.
4 Sidon, be ashamed.
·Strong city [Fortress] of the sea, be ashamed, because the sea says:
“I have not ·felt the pain of giving birth [gone into labor or given birth];
I have not reared young men or women.”
5 Egypt will hear the news about Tyre,
and it will make Egypt ·hurt with sorrow [be in anguish].
6 ·You ships should return [Travel; or Send word; L Cross over] to Tarshish [v. 1].
·Be sad [Wail], you people ·living near the sea [of the coast].
7 ·Look at [L Is this…?] your ·once happy [boisterous] city,
·founded so long ago [whose beginning was from days of antiquity].
·People from that city have traveled […whose feet have taken her]
far away to live.
8 Who planned Tyre’s destruction?
Tyre ·made others rich [bestower of crowns; or wearer of crowns].
Its merchants ·were treated like [L were; or are] princes,
and its traders were ·greatly respected [L the honored/renowned of the earth].
9 It was the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] who planned this.
He decided to ·make these proud people unimportant [L bring down the pride of all her glory/splendor];
he decided to ·disgrace [humble] ·those who were greatly respected [L the honored/renowned of the earth].
10 Go through[a] [or Cultivate; Till] your land, ·people [L daughter] of Tarshish [v. 1],
like ·the Nile goes through Egypt [or they do along the Nile].
There is no ·harbor [or marketplace; or restraint; or strength] for you now!
11 The Lord has stretched his hand over the sea
and made its kingdoms tremble.
He commands that Canaan’s
·strong, walled cities [fortresses; strongholds] be destroyed.
12 He said, “·Sidon [L Virgin daughter Sidon], you will not ·rejoice [celebrate] any longer,
because you are ·destroyed [crushed; oppressed].
·Even if you cross the sea [L Arise, cross over] to ·Cyprus [L Kittim],
[but] you will not find a place to rest.”
13 Look at the land of the ·Babylonians [Chaldeans];
·it is not a country now [this people is no more].
Assyria has made it a place for ·wild [desert] animals.
Assyria built ·towers to attack it [siege towers];
the soldiers ·took all the treasures from its cities [stripped bare/tore down its fortresses/palaces],
and they turned it into ruins.
14 ·So be sad [Wail], you ·trading ships [L ships of Tarshish; v. 1; 2:16],
because your ·strong city [fortress; stronghold] is destroyed.
15 ·At that time [L In that day] Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, which is the length of a king’s life. ·After [L At the end of] seventy years, Tyre will be like the prostitute in this song:
16 “Oh ·woman [prostitute; harlot], you are forgotten.
Take your harp and walk through the city.
Play your harp well. Sing ·your song often [many songs].
Then people will remember you.”
17 ·After [L At the end of] seventy years the Lord will ·deal with [visit] Tyre, and it will again ·have trade [earn wages]. It will be like a prostitute for all the ·nations [kingdoms] of the earth. 18 The profits will be ·saved [set apart; holy] for the Lord. Tyre will not ·keep [store up or hoard] the money she earns but will give them to the people who ·serve [worship; L dwell before] the Lord, so they will have plenty of food and ·nice clothes [beautiful coverings].
