SVD Arabic Bible: Smith–Van Dyck (1865)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 وَحْيٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ صُورَ: وَلْوِلِي يَاسُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ، لِأَنَّهَا خَرِبَتْ حَتَّى لَيْسَ بَيْتٌ حَتَّى لَيْسَ مَدْخَلٌ. مِنْ أَرْضِ كِتِّيمَ أُعْلِنَ لَهُمْ.
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 اِنْدَهِشُوا يَا سُكَّانَ ٱلسَّاحِلِ. تُجَّارُ صِيدُونُ ٱلْعَابِرُونَ ٱلْبَحْرَ مَلَأُوكِ.
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon that pass over the sea have replenished.
3 وَغَلَّتُهَا، زَرْعُ شِيحُورَ، حَصَادُ ٱلنِّيلِ، عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ فَصَارَتْ مَتْجَرَةً لِأُمَمٍ.
3 On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
4 اِخْجَلِي يَا صِيدُونُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْبَحْرَ، حِصْنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، نَطَقَ قَائِلًا: «لَمْ أَتَمَخَّضْ وَلَا وَلَدْتُ وَلَا رَبَّيْتُ شَبَابًا وَلَا نَشَّأْتُ عَذَارَى».
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 عِنْدَ وُصُولِ ٱلْخَبَرِ إِلَى مِصْرَ، يَتَوَجَّعُونَ، عِنْدَ وُصُولِ خَبَرِ صُورَ.
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 اُعْبُرُوا إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ. وَلْوِلُوا يَا سُكَّانَ ٱلسَّاحِلِ.
6 Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
7 أَهَذِهِ لَكُمُ ٱلْمُفْتَخِرَةُ ٱلَّتِي مُنْذُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ قِدَمُهَا؟ تَنْقُلُهَا رِجْلَاهَا بَعِيدًا لِلتَّغَرُّبِ.
7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 مَنْ قَضَى بِهَذَا عَلَى صُورَ ٱلْمُتَوِّجَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُجَّارُهَا رُؤَسَاءُ؟ مُتَسَبِّبُوهَا مُوَقَّرُو ٱلْأَرْضِ.
8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
9 رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ قَضَى بِهِ لِيُدَنِّسَ كِبْرِيَاءَ كُلِّ مَجْدٍ، وَيَهِينَ كُلَّ مُوَقَّرِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.
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 اِجْتَازِي أَرْضَكِ كَٱلنِّيلِ يَابِنْتَ تَرْشِيشَ. لَيْسَ حَصْرٌ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.
10 Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
11 مَدَّ يَدَهُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ. أَرْعَدَ مَمَالِكَ. أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ جِهَةِ كَنْعَانَ أَنْ تُخْرَبَ حُصُونُهَا.
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 وَقَالَ: «لَا تَعُودِينَ تَفْتَخِرِينَ أَيْضًا أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمُنْهَتِكَةُ، ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ بِنْتُ صِيْدُونَ. قُومِي إِلَى كِتِّيمَ. ٱعْبُرِي. هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا لَا رَاحَةَ لَكِ».
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 هُوَذَا أَرْضُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ لَمْ يَكُنْ. أَسَّسَهَا أَشُّورُ لِأَهْلِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. قَدْ أَقَامُوا أَبْرَاجَهُمْ. دَمَّرُوا قُصُورَهَا. جَعَلَهَا رَدْمًا.
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 وَلْوِلِي يَا سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ لِأَنَّ حِصْنَكِ قَدْ أُخْرِبَ.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
15 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ صُورَ تُنْسَى سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً كَأَيَّامِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ. مِنْ بَعْدِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً يَكُونُ لِصُورَ كَأُغْنِيَّةِ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ:
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 «خُذِي عُودًا. طُوفِي فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلزَّانِيَةُ ٱلْمَنْسِيَّةُ. أَحْسِنِي ٱلْعَزْفَ، أَكْثِرِي ٱلْغِنَاءَ لِكَيْ تُذْكَرِي».
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 وَيَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَتَعَهَّدُ صُورَ فَتَعُودُ إِلَى أُجْرَتِهَا، وَتَزْنِي مَعَ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْبِلَادِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.
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 وَتَكُونُ تِجَارَتُهَا وَأُجْرَتُهَا قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تُخْزَنُ وَلَا تُكْنَزُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ تِجَارَتُهَا لِلْمُقِيمِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَكْلٍ إِلَى ٱلشِبَعِ وَلِلِبَاسٍ فَاخِرٍ.
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.
