1 onus Tyri
ululate naves maris
quia vastata est domus unde venire consueverant
de terra Cetthim revelatum est eis
2 tacete qui habitatis in insula negotiatio Sidonis
transfretantes mare repleverunt te
3 in aquis multis semen Nili messis fluminis fruges eius
et facta est negotiatio gentium
4 erubesce Sidon ait enim mare fortitudo maris dicens
non parturivi et non peperi
et non enutrivi iuvenes nec ad incrementum perduxi virgines
5 cum auditum fuerit in Aegypto dolebunt cum audierint de Tyro
6 transite maria ululate qui habitatis in insula
7 numquid non haec vestra est
quae gloriabatur a diebus pristinis in antiquitate sua
ducent eam pedes sui longe ad peregrinandum
8 quis cogitavit hoc super Tyrum quondam coronatam
cuius negotiatores principes
institores eius incliti terrae
9 Dominus exercituum cogitavit hoc
ut detraheret superbiam omnis gloriae
et ad ignominiam deduceret universos inclitos terrae
10 transi terram tuam quasi flumen
filia maris non est cingulum ultra tibi
11 manum suam extendit super mare conturbavit regna
Dominus mandavit adversum Chanaan ut contereret fortes eius
12 et dixit non adicies ultra ut glorieris
calumniam sustinens virgo filia Sidonis
in Cetthim consurgens transfreta ibi quoque non erit requies tibi
13 ecce terra Chaldeorum talis populus non fuit
Assur fundavit eam
in captivitatem transduxerunt robustos eius
suffoderunt domos eius posuerunt eam in ruinam
14 ululate naves maris quia devastata est fortitudo vestra
15 et erit in die illa
in oblivione eris o Tyre septuaginta annis sicut dies regis
unius
post septuaginta autem annos erit Tyro quasi canticum meretricis
16 sume citharam circui civitatem meretrix oblivioni tradita
bene cane frequenta canticum ut memoria tui sit
17 et erit post septuaginta annos visitabit Dominus Tyrum
et reducet eam ad mercedes suas
et rursum fornicabitur cum universis regnis terrae super faciem terrae
18 et erunt negotiatio eius et mercedes eius sanctificatae
Domino
non condentur neque reponentur
quia his qui habitaverint coram Domino erit
negotiatio eius
ut manducent in saturitatem et vestiantur usque ad vetustatem
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. 5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 7 Is this your joyous city , whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city , whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. 10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city , to destroy the strong holds thereof. 12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17 ¶ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
