Isaiah 23 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Mensaje acerca de Tiro: ¡Lloren, barcos de Tarsis, porque su fortaleza ha sido arrasada! Al volver de la tierra de Quitim reciben la noticia.
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
2 Lloren de dolor, habitantes de la costa, comerciantes de Sidón que cruzan el mar, cuyos representantes viajan por grandes aguas;
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon that pass over the sea have replenished.
3 que recogen el grano de Sihor, cuya riqueza viene del comercio de las naciones.
3 On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
4 ¡Avergüénzate, Sidón! El mar, la fortaleza del mar, ha dicho: No he estado embarazada ni he dado a luz; no he cuidado a jóvenes ni he criado a vírgenes.
4 Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not travailed, nor given birth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”
5 Cuando la noticia llegue a Egipto, sentirán un dolor amargo por el destino de Tiro.
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 Crucen a Tarsis; lloren de dolor, habitantes de la costa.
6 Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
7 ¿Es esta la ciudad llena de alegría, de origen tan antiguo, que en sus viajes llegó a países lejanos?
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 ¿Quién planeó esto contra Tiro, la ciudad que otorgaba coronas, cuyos comerciantes son jefes y cuyos mercaderes son honrados en la tierra?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
9 El Señor de los ejércitos lo decidió para avergonzar el orgullo y humillar la gloria de los que son honrados en la tierra.
9 Yahweh of Armies has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Hija de Tarsis, que aren tu tierra; ya no hay puerto.
10 Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
11 Ha extendido su mano sobre el mar y ha hecho temblar los reinos. El Señor ha ordenado destruir las fortalezas de Canaán.
11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Yahweh has ordered the destruction of Canaan’s strongholds.
12 Ha dicho: Ya no te alegrarás, hija virgen de Sidón, oprimida. Levántate y cruza a Quitim; ni siquiera allí tendrás descanso.
12 He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will have no rest.”
13 Mira la tierra de los caldeos. Ese pueblo no existía; Asiria la fundó para los habitantes del desierto. Levantaron sus torres, derribaron sus palacios y la convirtieron en ruinas.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people didn’t exist. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.
14 ¡Lloren de dolor, barcos de Tarsis, porque su fortaleza ha sido arrasada!
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
15 En ese día, Tiro quedará olvidada durante setenta años, como los días de un rey. Al terminar los setenta años, le sucederá como en la canción de la prostituta:
15 It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
16 Toma un instrumento musical y recorre la ciudad, prostituta olvidada. Toca dulces melodías y canta, para que la gente vuelva a recordarte.
16 Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered.
17 Después de los setenta años, el Señor tendrá misericordia de Tiro. Ella volverá a su comercio y actuará como una prostituta con todos los reinos de la tierra.
17 It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre. She will return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.
18 Sus bienes y sus ganancias comerciales serán consagrados al Señor. No se guardarán ni almacenarán; servirán para dar suficiente comida y ropa hermosa a quienes viven en la tierra del Señor.
18 Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For in the Prophet Isaiah it is thus found: "Howl, ye ships of Carthage." But in Ezekiel by some interpreters the word is translated Carthage, by some Tarshish: and from this diversity it can be understood that the same which was called Carthage, is called Tharsus.
