Isaiah

神要责罚泰尔的海港

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这风声传到埃及； 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛。

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他施的船只都要哀号， 因为你们的保障变为荒场。

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。

The Burden against Tyre

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

2Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland,you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.

3On the great waterscame the grain of Shihor;the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre;she was the merchant of the nations.

4Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea,for the sea has spoken:“I have not been in laboror given birth.I have not raised young menor brought up young women.”

5When the report reaches Egypt,they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

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

7Is this your jubilant city,whose origin is from antiquity,whose feet have taken herto settle far away?

8Who planned this against Tyre,the bestower of crowns,whose traders are princes,whose merchants are renowned on the earth?

9The LORD of Hosts planned it,to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

10Cultivateyour land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish;there is no longer a harbor.

11The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea;He has made kingdoms tremble.He has given a commandthat the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

12He 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.”

13Look 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.

14Wail, O ships of Tarshish,for your harbor has been destroyed!

15At 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:

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

17And 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.

18Yet 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.
