Isaías 23

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Oráculo contra Tiro. Lastimai-vos, navios de Társis, porque vosso porto foi destruído. Foi no regresso de Chipre que eles receberam a nova.	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.
2 Estão estupefatos os habitantes da costa, o mercador de Sidon, o corredor do mar,	2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3 cujos mensageiros navegam ao largo. O grão de Sihor era a sua colheita, e sua renda era tirada do comércio das nações.	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.
4 Envergonha-te, Sidon, porque o mar {a fortaleza do mar} te diz: Eu não concebi nem dei à luz. Não criei rapazes nem eduquei moças.	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.”
5 Quando o Egito receber esta nova, tremerá ao ter conhecimento da sorte de Tiro.	5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6 Passai a Társis, lastimai-vos, habitantes da costa.	6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7 Acaso não é a vossa cidade gloriosa, cuja origem remonta aos dias antigos, e que dirigia seus passos para se estabelecer ao longe?	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.
8 Quem, pois, tomou essa decisão contra Tiro, essa cidade coroada, cujos mercadores eram soberanos, e os traficantes, fidalgos da terra?	8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
9 Foi o Senhor dos exércitos quem o decidiu, para ferir o orgulho da nobreza e para aviltar os mais considerados da terra.	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.
10 Cultiva agora a terra, filha de Társis, teu porto já não existe.	10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
11 O Senhor estendeu a mão sobre o mar e abalou os reinos. Ele ordenou a destruição das fortalezas de Canaã.	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.
12 E disse: Cessa de rejubilar-te, Sidon, filha desonrada! Levanta-te e vai estabelecer-te em Chipre! Mesmo lá, não terás repouso.	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.”
13 Reduziram-na a ruínas.	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.
14 Lastimai-vos, navios de Társis, porque vosso porto foi destruído.	14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
15 Naquele tempo, Tiro será esquecida durante setenta anos. No reinado de outro rei, ao fim de setenta anos, realizar-se-á para ela a canção da meretriz:	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.
16 Toma a tua cítara, percorre a cidade, meretriz esquecida, toca com perfeição, canta a toda voz para que se lembrem de ti.	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.
17 No fim de setenta anos, o Senhor visitará Tiro, e ela recomeçará a enriquecer-se, mantendo comércio com todos os reinos do mundo, em toda a superfície da terra.	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.
18 Porém, os lucros, que lhe trouxer seu comércio, serão consagrados ao Senhor, em vez de serem entesourados; seu comércio aproveitará àqueles que habitam na presença do Senhor, a fim de que tenham com que se nutrir com abundância e se vestir magnificamente.	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.
