Isaiæ 23

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Oraculum Tyri. Ululate, naves Tharsis, quia vastatum est refugium vestrum; cum redirent de terra Cetthim, revelatum est eis.	1 The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or haven! From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.
2 Obstupescite, qui habitatis in insula; negotiatores Sidonis transfretantes mare repleverunt te.	2 Be still, O inhabitants of the coast, O merchants of Sidon; your messengers passed over the sea
3 In aquis multis semen Nili, messis fluminis fruges eius; et facta est negotiatio gentium.	3 and were on many waters; your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.
4 Erubesce, Sidon, ait enim mare, fortitudo maris, dicens: “ Non parturivi et non peperi; et non enutrivi iuvenes nec virgines educavi ”.	4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up virgins."
5 Cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto, dolebunt cum audierint de Tyro.	5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.
6 Transite ad Tharsis, ululate, qui habitatis in insula.	6 Pass over to Tarshish, wail, O inhabitants of the coast!
7 Estne vestra haec, quae gloriabatur? A diebus pristinis antiquitas eius. Ducebant eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum.	7 Is this your exultant city whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle afar?
8 Quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam, cuius negotiatores principes, institores eius incliti terrae?	8 Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
9 Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc, ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae et viles faceret universos inclitos terrae.	9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth.
10 Excole terram tuam sicut litus Nili, filia Tharsis, iam non est portus.	10 Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.
11 Manum suam extendit super mare, conturbavit regna. Dominus mandavit adversus Chanaan, ut contereret munimenta eius,	11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea, he has shaken the kingdoms; the LORD has given command concerning Canaan to destroy its strongholds.
12 et dixit: “ Non adicies ultra ut glorieris, violata virgo filia Sidonis; in Cetthim consurgens transfreta: ibi quoque non erit requies tibi ”.	12 And he said: "You will no more exult, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; arise, pass over to Cyprus, even there you will have no rest."
13 Ecce terra Chaldaeorum: talis populus non fuit; Assyria fundavit eam pro feris. Erexerunt turres suas; suffoderunt domos eius, posuerunt eam in ruinam.	13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people; it was not Assyria. They destined Tyre for wild beasts. They erected their siegetowers, they razed her palaces, they made her a ruin.
14 Ululate, naves Tharsis, quia devastatum est praesidium vestrum.	14 Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.
15 Et erit in die illa: in oblivione erit Tyrus septuaginta annis, sicut diesregis unius. Post septuaginta autem annos erit Tyro iuxta canticum meretricis:	15 In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
16 “ Sume citharam, circui civitatem, meretrix oblivioni tradita; bene cane, frequenta canticum, ut memoria tui sit ”.	16 "Take a harp, go about the city, O forgotten harlot! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered."
17 Et erit: post septuaginta annos visitabit Dominus Tyrum, et redibit admercedes suas et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciemterrae.	17 At the end of seventy years, the LORD will visit Tyre, and she will return to her hire, and will play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18 Et erunt negotiatio eius et merces eius sanctificatae Domino; noncondentur neque reponentur, quia his, qui habitaverint coram Domino, eritnegotiatio eius, ut manducent in saturitate et vestiantur splendide.	18 Her merchandise and her hire will be dedicated to the LORD; it will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the LORD.
