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。
Isaias 23
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Pahayag Laban sa Tiro at Sidon
23 Ito(A) ang pahayag tungkol sa Tiro:
Manangis kayo, mga mangangalakal sa Tarsis,
sapagkat ang Tiro na inyong daungan ay wasak na;
wala na kayong mga tahanang matitirhan!
Ito'y inihayag na sa inyo mula sa lupain ng Cyprus.
2 Tumahimik kayo, mga nakatira sa dalampasigan;
kayong mga mangangalakal ng Sidon,
nagpadala kayo ng inyong mga mensahero sa ibayong dagat,
3 upang bilhin at ipagbili ang mga trigo ng Sihor,
ang trigong inani sa kapatagan ng Nilo,
at upang makipagkalakal sa lahat ng bansa.
4 Lunsod ng Sidon, mahiya ka naman!
Isinusuka ka na ng karagatan, sapagkat ganito ang kanyang pahayag:
“Kailanma'y hindi ako nagkaanak;
wala akong pinalaking mga anak na lalaki at babae.”
5 Kapag umabot sa mga Egipcio ang pagkawasak ng Tiro,
sila'y tiyak na magigimbal at mapapahiya.
6 Tumawid kayo sa Tarsis;
manangis kayo mga nakatira sa dalampasigan!
7 Ito ba ang masaya at maingay na lunsod ng Tiro
na natatag noon pang unang panahon?
Ito ba ang lunsod na nagsugo ng mga mamamayan sa ibayong dagat
upang doo'y magtayo ng mga bayan?
8 Sinong nagbalak nito
laban sa maharlikang lunsod ng Tiro,
na kinikilala ang mga dakilang mangangalakal,
at pinaparangalan sa lahat ng bansa?
9 Si Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ang nagplano nito
upang hamakin ang kanilang kataasan
at hiyain ang mga taong dinadakila ng sanlibutan.
10 Kayong mangangalakal ng Tarsis,
sakahin na ninyo[a] ang inyong lupain na tulad ng Nilo,
sapagkat wala nang gagambala sa inyo.
11 Ang parusa ni Yahweh ay abot hanggang sa ibayong dagat
at ibinagsak ang mga kaharian;
iniutos na niyang wasakin ang mga kuta sa Canaan.
12 Ang sabi ni Yahweh,
“Lunsod ng Sidon, tapos na ang maliligayang araw mo!
Kahit na pumunta ka sa Cyprus ay nanganganib ka pa rin.”
13 Masdan ninyo ang lupain ng mga taga-Babilonia,
ang bayang ito ay hindi Asiria,
at ang Tiro ay pinananahanan na ng mga ligaw na hayop.
Pinaligiran siya ng mga tore at mga kuta,
at winasak ang kanyang mga palasyo.
14 Manangis kayo mga mangangalakal ng Tarsis,
sapagkat wasak na ang inyong inaasahan.
15 Pitumpung taon na malilimot ang Tiro,
sintagal ng buhay ng isang hari.
Ngunit pagkatapos ng panahong iyon,
siya'y muling babangon at matutulad sa babaing binabanggit sa awit na ito:
16 “Tugtugin mo ang iyong alpa,
babaing haliparot,
libutin mo ang lunsod;
galingan mo ang pagtugtog sa alpa,
umawit ka ng maraming awitin
upang ikaw ay muling balikan.”
17 Pagkatapos ng pitumpung taon, muling lilingapin ni Yahweh ang lunsod ng Tiro. Manunumbalik ito sa dating pamumuhay at muling ibebenta ang sarili sa lahat ng kaharian sa daigdig. 18 Ang kanilang tutubuin sa hanapbuhay ay hindi na nila iipunin. Sa halip, ito'y ihahandog nila kay Yahweh upang ibili ng pagkain at kasuotan ng mga taong sumasamba sa kanya.

Isaiah 23
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.
Isaiah 23
New International Version
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)

Proclamation Against Tyre
23 The (A)burden[a] against Tyre.
Wail, you ships of Tarshish!
For it is laid waste,
So that there is no house, no harbor;
From the land of [b]Cyprus it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
You merchants of Sidon,
[c]Whom those who cross the sea have filled.
3 And on great waters the grain of Shihor,
The harvest of [d]the River, is her revenue;
And (B)she is a marketplace for the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon;
For the sea has spoken,
The strength of the sea, saying,
“I do not labor, nor bring forth children;
Neither do I rear young men,
Nor bring up virgins.”
5 (C)When the report reaches Egypt,
They also will be in agony at the report of Tyre.
6 Cross over to Tarshish;
Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!
7 Is this your (D)joyous city,
Whose antiquity is from ancient days,
Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?
8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, (E)the crowning city,
Whose merchants are princes,
Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
9 The Lord of hosts has (F)purposed it,
To [e]bring to dishonor the (G)pride of all glory,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Overflow through your land like [f]the River,
O daughter of Tarshish;
There is no more [g]strength.
11 He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
The Lord has given a commandment (H)against Canaan
To destroy its strongholds.
12 And He said, “You will rejoice no more,
O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, (I)cross over to Cyprus;
There also you will have no rest.”
13 Behold, the land of the (J)Chaldeans,
This people which was not;
Assyria founded it for (K)wild beasts of the desert.
They set up its towers,
They raised up its palaces,
And brought it to ruin.
14 (L)Wail, you ships of Tarshish!
For your strength is laid waste.
15 Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
16 “Take a harp, go about the city,
You forgotten harlot;
Make sweet melody, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.”
17 And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and (M)commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. 18 Her gain and her pay (N)will be set apart for the Lord; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for [h]fine clothing.
