RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
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 CARGA de Tiro. Aullad, naves de Tarsis, porque destruída es hasta no quedar casa, ni entrada: de la tierra de Chîttim les es revelado.
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 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
2 Callad, moradores de la isla, mercader de Sidón, que pasando la mar te henchían.
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon that pass over the sea have replenished.
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 Su provisión era de las sementeras [que crecen] con las muchas aguas del Nilo, de la mies del río. Fué también feria de gentes.
3 On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
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 Avergüénzate, Sidón, porque la mar, la fortaleza de la mar habló, diciendo: Nunca estuve de parto, ni parí, ni crié mancebos, ni levanté 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 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
5 En llegando la fama á Egipto, tendrán dolor de las nuevas de Tiro.
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
6 Pasaos á Tarsis; aullad, moradores de la isla.
6 Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
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 ¿No era ésta vuestra [ciudad] alegre, su antigüedad de muchos días? Sus pies la llevarán á peregrinar lejos.
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
8 ¿Quién decretó esto sobre Tiro la coronada, cuyos negociantes eran príncipes, cuyos mercaderes eran los nobles de 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 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 Jehová de los ejércitos lo decretó, para envilecer la soberbia de toda gloria; y para abatir todos los ilustres de 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 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
10 Pasa cual río de tu tierra, oh hija de Tarsis; porque no tendrás ya más fortaleza.
10 Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
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 Extendió su mano sobre la mar, hizo temblar los reinos: Jehová mandó sobre Canaán que sus fuerzas sean debilitadas.
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 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 Y dijo: No te alegrarás más, oh tú, oprimida virgen hija de Sidón. Levántate para pasar á Chîttim; y aun allí no tendrás reposo.
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 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 Mira la tierra de los Caldeos; este pueblo no era; Assur la fundó para los que habitaban en el desierto: levantaron sus fortalezas, edificaron sus palacios; él la convirtió 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 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
14 Aullad, naves de Tarsis; porque destruída es vuestra fortaleza.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
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 Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Tiro será puesta en olvido por setenta años, como días de un rey. Después de los setenta años, cantará Tiro canción como de ramera.
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 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 Toma arpa, y rodea la ciudad, oh ramera olvidada: haz buena melodía, reitera la canción, porque tornes en memoria.
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 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 Y acontecerá, que al fin de los setenta años visitará Jehová á Tiro: y tornaráse á su ganancia, y otra vez fornicará con todos los reinos de la tierra sobre la haz 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 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 Mas su negociación y su ganancia será consagrada á Jehová: no se guardará ni se atesorará, porque su negociación será para los que estuvieren delante de Jehová, para que coman hasta hartarse, y vistan honradamente.
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).

  1. Quotes verse 23:1 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XLVIII)

    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.
