1 מַשָּׂא צֹר הֵילִילוּ ׀ אֳנִיֹּות תַּרְשִׁישׁ כִּי־שֻׁדַּד מִבַּיִת מִבֹּוא מֵאֶרֶץ כִּתִּים נִגְלָה־לָמֹו | 1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of the sea, for the house is destroyed, from whence they were wont to come: from the land of Cethim it is revealed to them. |
2 דֹּמּוּ יֹשְׁבֵי אִי סֹחֵר צִידֹון עֹבֵר יָם מִלְאוּךְ | 2 Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee. |
3 וּבְמַיִם רַבִּים זֶרַע שִׁחֹר קְצִיר יְאֹור תְּבוּאָתָהּ וַתְּהִי סְחַר גֹּויִם | 3 The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations. |
4 בֹּושִׁי צִידֹון כִּי־אָמַר יָם מָעֹוז הַיָּם לֵאמֹר לֹא־חַלְתִּי וְלֹא־יָלַדְתִּי וְלֹא גִדַּלְתִּי בַּחוּרִים רֹומַמְתִּי בְתוּלֹות | 4 Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins. |
5 כַּאֲשֶׁר־שֵׁמַע לְמִצְרָיִם יָחִילוּ כְּשֵׁמַע צֹר | 5 When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre: |
6 עִבְרוּ תַּרְשִׁישָׁה הֵילִילוּ יֹשְׁבֵי אִי | 6 Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island. |
7 הֲזֹאת לָכֶם עַלִּיזָה מִימֵי־קֶדֶם קַדְמָתָהּ יֹבִלוּהָ רַגְלֶיהָ מֵרָחֹוק לָגוּר | 7 Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. |
8 מִי יָעַץ זֹאת עַל־צֹר הַמַּעֲטִירָה אֲשֶׁר סֹחֲרֶיה שָׂרִים כִּנְעָנֶיהָ נִכְבַּדֵּי־אָרֶץ | 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth? |
9 יְהוָה צְבָאֹות יְעָצָהּ לְחַלֵּל גְּאֹון כָּל־צְבִי לְהָקֵל כָּל־נִכְבַּדֵּי־אָרֶץ | 9 The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth. |
10 עִבְרִי אַרְצֵךְ כַּיְאֹר בַּת־תַּרְשִׁישׁ אֵין מֵזַח עֹוד | 10 Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more. |
11 יָדֹו נָטָה עַל־הַיָּם הִרְגִּיז מַמְלָכֹות יְהוָה צִוָּה אֶל־כְּנַעַן לַשְׁמִד מָעֻזְנֶיהָ | 11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof. |
12 וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא־תֹוסִיפִי עֹוד לַעְלֹוז הַמְעֻשָּׁקָה בְּתוּלַת בַּת־צִידֹון [כִּתִּיִּים כ] (כִּתִּים ק) קוּמִי עֲבֹרִי גַּם־שָׁם לֹא־יָנוּחַ לָךְ | 12 And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest. |
13 הֵן ׀ אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים זֶה הָעָם לֹא הָיָה אַשּׁוּר יְסָדָהּ לְצִיִּים הֵקִימוּ [בְחִינָיו כ] (בַחוּנָיו ק) עֹרְרוּ אַרְמְנֹותֶיהָ שָׂמָהּ לְמַפֵּלָה | 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans, there was not such a people, the Assyrian founded it: they have led away the strong ones thereof into captivity, they have destroyed the houses thereof, they have brought it to ruin. |
14 הֵילִילוּ אֳנִיֹּות תַּרְשִׁישׁ כִּי שֻׁדַּד מָעֻזְּכֶן׃ ס | 14 Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste. |
15 וְהָיָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וְנִשְׁכַּחַת צֹר שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה כִּימֵי מֶלֶךְ אֶחָד מִקֵּץ שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה יִהְיֶה לְצֹר כְּשִׁירַת הַזֹּונָה | 15 And it shall come to pass in that day that thou, O Tyre, shalt be forgotten, seventy years, according to the days of one king: but after seventy years, there shall be unto Tyre as the song of a harlot. |
16 קְחִי כִנֹּור סֹבִּי עִיר זֹונָה נִשְׁכָּחָה הֵיטִיבִי נַגֵּן הַרְבִּי־שִׁיר לְמַעַן תִּזָּכֵרִי | 16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: sing well, sing many a song, that thou mayst be remembered. |
17 וְהָיָה מִקֵּץ ׀ שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה יִפְקֹד יְהוָה אֶת־צֹר וְשָׁבָה לְאֶתְנַנָּה וְזָנְתָה אֶת־כָּל־מַמְלְכֹות הָאָרֶץ עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה | 17 And it shall come to pass after seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and will bring her back again to her traffic: and she shall commit fornication again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. |
18 וְהָיָה סַחְרָהּ וְאֶתְנַנָּהּ קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה לֹא יֵאָצֵר וְלֹא יֵחָסֵן כִּי לַיֹּשְׁבִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה יִהְיֶה סַחְרָהּ לֶאֱכֹל לְשָׂבְעָה וְלִמְכַסֶּה עָתִיק׃ פ | 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be sanctified to the Lord: they shall not be kept in store, nor laid up: for her merchandise shall be for them that shall dwell before the Lord, that they may eat unto fulness, and be clothed for a continuance. |
