1 Carga sobre Tiro: ¡Lamenten, naves de Tarsis, porque Tiro es destruida hasta no quedar casa ni lugar para entrar! Se les informó desde la tierra de Quitim.
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 ¡Callen, oh habitantes de la costa y mercaderes de Sidón quienes cruzaban el mar!
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon that pass over the sea have replenished.
3 El grano de Sihor y la cosecha del río [Nilo] eran su ganancia. Ella era el mercado 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, oh Sidón, fortaleza del mar, porque dijo el mar: Nunca estuve con dolores de parto, ni di a luz, ni crié jóvenes, ni desarrollé 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, se estremecerán por los informes con respecto a Tiro.
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 ¡Oh habitantes de la costa, pasen a Tarsis y lamenten!
6 Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
7 ¿Es ésta su ciudad divertida de mucha antigüedad, cuyos pies la llevaban a lugares lejanos?
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 ¿Quién decretó esto contra Tiro, la cual regalaba coronas, cuyos comerciantes eran príncipes y sus mercaderes los honorables 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 Yavé de las huestes lo decretó para abatir la soberbia de todo esplendor y humillar a todos los honorables 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 Inunda tu tierra como el Nilo, oh hija de Tarsis, porque ya no existe la restricción [de tu puerto].
10 Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
11 Él extendió su mano contra el mar y sacudió los reinos. Yavé ordenó 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 No volverás a regocijarte, oh doncella oprimida, hija de Sidón. Levántate para pasar a Quitim, 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 Ahí está la tierra de los caldeos. Ese pueblo no existía. Asiria lo destinó para las bestias del desierto. La sitiaron y destruyeron sus palacios. Se convirtió en escombros.
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 Lamenten, oh naves de Tarsis, pues su baluarte fue destruido.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
15 Aquel día Tiro quedará en el olvido 70 años, como los años de un rey. Al terminar los 70 años, sucederá a Tiro lo del canto 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 el arpa y rodea la ciudad, oh prostituta olvidada. Haz buena melodía. Repite la canción para que seas recordada.
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 Al fin de los 70 años Yavé visitará a Tiro. Ella volverá a su salario de prostituta y volverá a fornicar con todos los reinos del mundo sobre la superficie 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 Pero su paga estará consagrada a Yavé. No se atesorará ni se acumulará, porque su ganancia será para los que estén delante de Yavé, para que coman hasta saciarse y se cubran con esplendidez.
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.
