Jesaja 23 | الكتاب المقدس

نبوءة عن صور

1 نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ صُورَ: وَلْوِلِي يَا سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ، لأَنَّ صُورَ قَدْ هُدِمَتْ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ بَيْتٌ وَلا مَرْفَأٌ. تَمَاماً كَمَا بَلَغَكُمُ النَّبَأُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِ قُبْرُصَ.

2 اصْمُتُوا يَا أَهْلَ السَّاحِلِ، يَا تُجَّارَ صَيْدُونَ، عَابِرِي الْبَحْرِ الَّذِينَ مَلَأْتُمُوهَا،

3 فَقَدْ قَدِمَتْ فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ سُفُنٌ مُحَمَّلَةٌ بِقَمْحِ شِيحُورَ وَحَصَادِ النِّيلِ، فَصَارَتْ هِيَ مَتْجَرَةَ الأُمَمِ.

4 فَاخْجَلِي يَا صَيْدَا لأَنَّ الْبَحْرَ وَحِصْنَهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَا قَائِلَيْنِ: لَمْ أَتَمَخَّضْ وَلَمْ أَلِدْ، لَمْ أُنْشِئْ شَبَاباً وَلا رَبَّيْتُ عَذَارَى.

5 عِنْدَمَا يَذِيعُ النَّبَأُ فِي مِصْرَ، يَتَوَجَّعُونَ لأَخْبَارِ صُورَ.

6 اعْبُرُوا إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ، انْتَحِبُوا يَا أَهْلَ السَّاحِلِ.

7 أَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَدِينَتُكُمُ الْمُبْتَهِجَةُ الَّتِي نَشَأَتْ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَالَّتِي تَنْقُلُهَا قَدَمَاهَا لِلتَغَرُّبِ فِي أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ؟

8 مَنْ قَضَى بِهَذَا عَلَى صُورَ وَاهِبَةِ التِّيجَانِ، الَّتِي تُجَّارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ، وَمُتَكَسِّبُوهَا شُرَفَاءُ الأَرْضِ؟

9 إِنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَضَى بِذَلِكَ، لِيَحُطَّ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ كُلِّ مَجْدٍ، وَلِيُذِلَّ كُلَّ شُرَفَاءِ الأَرْضِ.

10 امْخُرِي عُبَابَ الْبَحْرِ يَا ابْنَةَ تَرْشِيشَ كَمَا يَخْتَرِقُ النِّيلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ إِذْ زَالَ مَرْفَأُكِ مِنَ الوُجُودِ.

11 بَسَطَ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَزَعْزَعَ مَمَالِكَ، أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ عَلَى كَنْعَانَ كَيْ تُدَمَّرَ حُصُونُهَا،

12 وَقَالَ: «لَنْ تَعُودِي تُعَرْبِدِينَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعَذْرَاءُ الَّتِي فَقَدَتْ شَرَفَهَا، يَا ابْنَةَ صَيْدُونَ هُبِّي وَاعْبُرِي إِلَى قُبْرُصَ، وَلَكِنَّكِ لَنْ تَجِدِي هُنَاكَ رَاحَةً».

13 تَأَمَّلِي فِي أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَانْظُرِي إِلَى شَعْبِهَا، فَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ الأَشُورِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ سَيَجْعَلُونَ صُورَ مَرْتَعاً لِلْوُحُوشِ، وَسَيَنْصِبُونَ حَوْلَهَا أَبْرَاجَهُمْ، وَيَمْسَحُونَ قُصُورَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَيُحَوِّلُونَهَا إِلَى خَرَابٍ.

14 انْتَحِبِي يَا سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ لأَنَّ حُصُونَكِ قَدْ تَهَدَّمَتْ.

15 وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَظَلُّ صُورُ مَنْسِيَّةً طَوَالَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، كَحِقْبَةِ حَيَاةِ مَلِكٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَفِي نِهَايَةِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً يُصِيبُ صُورَ مِثْلُ مَا جَاءَ فِي أُغْنِيَةِ الْعَاهِرَةِ:

16 «خُذِي عُوداً وَطُوفِي فِي الْمَدِيَنةِ أَيَّتُهَا الْعَاهِرَةُ الْمَنْسِيَّةُ. أَتْقِنِي الْعَزْفَ عَلَى الْعُودِ وَأَكْثِرِي الْغِنَاءَ لَعَلَّكِ تُذْكَرِينَ».

17 وَفِى نِهَايَةِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً يَفْتَقِدُ الرَّبُّ صُورَ، فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى عَهْدِهَا، وَتَزْنِي مَعَ كُلِّ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ.

18 أَمَّا تِجَارَتُهَا وَأُجْرَتُهَا فَتُصْبِحُ قُدْساً لِلرَّبِّ. لَا تُخْزَنُ وَلا تُدَّخَرُ لأَنَّ تِجَارَتَهَا تُوَفِّرُ غِذَاءً وَفِيراً، وَثِيَاباً فَاخِرَةً لِلسَّاكِنِينَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

A prophecy against Tyre

1 A prophecy against Tyre: Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbour. From the land of Cyprus word has come to them.

2 Be silent, you people of the island and you merchants of Sidon, whom the seafarers have enriched.

3 On the great waters came the grain of the Shihor; the harvest of the Nile* was the revenue of Tyre, and she became the market-place of the nations.

4 Be ashamed, Sidon, and you fortress of the sea, for the sea has spoken: ‘I have neither been in labour nor given birth; I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.’

5 When word comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre.

6 Cross over to Tarshish; wail, you people of the island.

7 Is this your city of revelry, the old, old city, whose feet have taken her to settle in far-off lands?

8 Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are renowned in the earth?

9 The Lord Almighty planned it, to bring down her pride in all her splendour and to humble all who are renowned on the earth.

10 Till* your land as they do along the Nile, Daughter Tarshish, for you no longer have a harbour.

11 The Lord has stretched out his hand over the sea and made its kingdoms tremble. He has given an order concerning Phoenicia that her fortresses be destroyed.

12 He said, ‘No more of your revelling, Virgin Daughter Sidon, now crushed! ‘Up, cross over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.’

13 Look at the land of the Babylonians,* this people that is now of no account! The Assyrians have made it a place for desert creatures; they raised up their siege towers, they stripped its fortresses bare and turned it into a ruin.

14 Wail, you ships of Tarshish; your fortress is destroyed!

15 At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

16 ‘Take up a harp, walk through the city, you forgotten prostitute; play the harp well, sing many a song, so that you will be remembered.’

17 At the end of seventy years, the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

18 Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord, for abundant food and fine clothes.
