YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the burden against
Tyre :
Wail
, O
ships of Tarshish, for Tyre
is
laid
waste
, without house or
harbor.
Word
has
reached
them
from the land of Cyprus
.
The Burden of
Tyre .
Howl
, ye
ships of Tarshish, For it
hath
been
destroyed
, Without house ,
without
entrance,
From the land of Chittim
it
was
revealed
to
them
.
Be silent, O
dwellers
of the coastland
, you
merchants
of Sidon
, whose
traders
have
crossed
the sea.
Be silent, ye
inhabitants
of the isle
, Trader
of Zidon
, passing
the sea ,
they
filled
thee
.
On
the
great
waters came
the grain
of Shihor;
the harvest of the Nile
was
the
revenue
of
Tyre;
she was
the
merchant
of the
nations.
And
in
many
waters `is'
the seed
of Sihor,
The harvest of the brook
`is'
her
increase,
And
she is
a
mart
of nations.
Be ashamed, O Sidon
, the stronghold
of the sea, for
the
sea
has
spoken
: “
I have not been in
labor
or
given
birth.
I have not
raised
young men or
brought up young
women
. ”
Be ashamed, O Zidon;
for
the
sea
spake
, The strength
of the sea, saying
: `
I have not been pained,
nor
have
I brought
forth,
Nor
have I
nourished
young men ,
`nor'
brought up virgins
. '
When
the report reaches
Egypt ,
they will
writhe
in
agony
over
the news
of Tyre.
As
`at'
the report of
Egypt they are
pained,
So
`at'
the report
of Tyre.
Cross
over to Tarshish ;
wail
, O
inhabitants of the coastland!
Pass
over to Tarshish, howl,
ye
inhabitants of the isle,
Is this your jubilant
city,
whose
origin
is
from antiquity, whose
feet
have
taken
her to settle
far
away?
Is this your exulting
one?
From the
days
of
old
`is'
her
antiquity, Carry
her do
her
own
feet
afar
off
to sojourn.
Who planned
this against Tyre, the bestower
of
crowns
, whose traders are princes, whose
merchants are
renowned
on
the earth?
Who hath
counselled
this against Tyre, The crowning
one
, whose traders `
are '
princes, Her
merchants the honoured
of
earth? '
The
LORD
of Hosts planned
it, to defile
all its
glorious
beauty, to disgrace
all the renowned
of the
earth.
Jehovah
of Hosts hath
counselled
it, To pollute
the
excellency
of
all beauty, To make
light
all the honoured
of earth.
Cultivate
your
land like
the
Nile
, O
Daughter of Tarshish ;
there is no longer
a harbor
.
Pass
through
thy
land as
a
brook
, Daughter of Tarshish ,
there is no more
a girdle
.
The
LORD
has
stretched
out
His hand over the sea ;
He has
made
kingdoms tremble .
He
has
given
a
command
that
the strongholds
of
Canaan
be
destroyed
.
His hand He
hath
stretched
out
over the sea ,
He hath
caused
kingdoms to
tremble ,
Jehovah
hath
charged
concerning
the merchant
one,
To
destroy
her
strong
places
.
He 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. ”
And
He saith
, `Thou
dost
not
add
any
more to
exult
, O oppressed one,
virgin daughter of Zidon,
To Chittim
arise,
pass
over,
Even there --
there
is
no rest for
thee
. '
Look
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 .
Lo,
the land of the Chaldeans --
this
people was
not,
Asshur
founded
it for the Ziim,
They raised
its watch-towers,
They lifted
up
her
palaces,
--
He
hath
appointed
her
for
a
ruin !
Wail
, O
ships of Tarshish, for your harbor
has
been destroyed !
Howl
, ye
ships of Tarshish, For your strength
hath
been destroyed .
At
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 :
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in
that day,
That
forgotten is
Tyre
seventy years ,
According
to
the days
of one
king
. At the end of seventy years there
is
to Tyre as the song of the harlot .
“
Take up
your
harp, stroll
through
the city, O forgotten harlot .
Make
sweet
melody
, sing
many
a
song
, so
you
will
be remembered. ”
Take a
harp, go
round
the city, O forgotten harlot, play
well
, Multiply
song
that
thou
mayest
be remembered.
And 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
.
And it
hath
come
to
pass,
At the end of seventy years Jehovah
inspecteth
Tyre ,
And she
hath
repented
of
her
gift,
That
she
committed
fornication
With
all kingdoms of
the
earth
on the face of the ground
.
Yet
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.
And
her merchandise
and her
gift
have
been
holy
to Jehovah,
Not treasured
up
nor
stored, For to those sitting
before Jehovah
is
her
merchandise
, To
eat
to
satiety,
and for
a
lasting
covering!
