Isaiah 23

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.	1 وحي من جهة صور. ولولي يا سفن ترشيش لانها خربت حتى ليس بيت حتى ليس مدخل من ارض كتّيم أعلن لهم.
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.	2 اندهشوا يا سكان الساحل. تجار صيدون العابرون البحر ملأوك.
3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.	3 وغلتها زرع شيحور حصاد النيل على مياه كثيرة فصارت متجرة لامم.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”	4 اخجلي يا صيدون لان البحر حصن البحر نطق قائلا لم اتمخض ولا ولدت ولا ربيت شبابا ولا نشأت عذارى.
5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.	5 عند وصول الخبر الى مصر يتوجعون عند وصول خبر صور.
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!	6 اعبروا الى ترشيش. ولولوا يا سكان الساحل.
7 Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.	7 أهذه لكم المفتخرة التي منذ الايام القديمة قدمها تنقلها رجلاها بعيدا للتغرب
8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?	8 من قضى بهذا على صور المتوّجة التي تجارها رؤساء. متسببوها موقرو الارض.
9 The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.	9 رب الجنود قضى به ليدنس كبرياء كل مجد ويهين كل موقري الارض.
10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.	10 اجتازي ارضك كالنيل يا بنت ترشيش. ليس حصر فيما بعد.
11 He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.	11 مدّ يده على البحر ارعد ممالك. أمر الرب من جهة كنعان ان تخرب حصونها.
12 And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”	12 وقال لا تعودين تفتخرين ايضا ايتها المنهتكة العذراء بنت صيدون قومي الى كتّيم اعبري. هناك ايضا لا راحة لك
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.	13 هوذا ارض الكلدانيين. هذا الشعب لم يكن. اسسها اشور لاهل البرية. قد اقاموا ابراجهم دمروا قصورها. جعلها ردما.
14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.	14 ولولي يا سفن ترشيش لان حصنك قد أخرب
15 And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.	15 ويكون في ذلك اليوم ان صور تنسى سبعين سنة كايام ملك واحد. من بعد سبعين سنة يكون لصور كاغنية الزانية.
16 Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.	16 خذي عودا طوفي في المدينة ايتها الزانية المنسية احسني العزف اكثري الغناء لكي تذكري.
17 And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.	17 ويكون من بعد سبعين سنة ان الرب يتعهد صور فتعود الى اجرتها وتزني مع كل ممالك البلاد على وجه الارض.
18 And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.	18 وتكون تجارتها واجرتها قدسا للرب. لا تخزن ولا تكنز بل تكون تجارتها للمقيمين امام الرب لأكل الى الشبع وللباس فاخر
