¹The 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.

¹Proroštvo o Tiru. Kukajte, lađe taršiške, jer vaša je tvrđa razorena! Javljeno im je dok se iz kitimske vraćahu zemlje.

²Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

²Umuknite, stanovnici primorja, trgovci sidonski, kojih su glasnici brodili morem po vodi velikoj.

³And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

³Sjetva Nila, žetva Rijeke, bijaše njegovo bogatstvo. On bijaše sajmište narodima.

⁴Be 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.

⁴Stidi se, Sidone, jer more govori: "Ne hvataju me trudovi niti rađam, ne odgajam momaka nit' podižem djevojaka."

⁵As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

⁵Uzdrhtat će Egipćani kad o Tiru vijest čuju.

⁶Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

⁶Otplovite u Taršiš, kukajte, stanovnici primorja.

⁷Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

⁷Je li to vaš grad veseli što postoji od davnih davnina i noge ga daleko nosile da se ondje naseli?

⁸Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?

⁸Tko li je to odlučio protiv Tira okrunjenog, kojeg trgovci bijahu knezovi a prekupci odličnici zemlje?

⁹The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

⁹Jahve nad Vojskama odluči tako da osramoti ponosnu slavu, da ponizi sve odličnike zemlje.

¹⁰Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.

¹⁰Obrađuj zemlju, kćeri taršiška, tvoje luke više nema!

¹¹He 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.

¹¹Ruku svoju Gospod diže na more i kraljevstvima zadrma. Zapovjedi Jahve da se razore tvrđave kanaanske.

¹²And 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.

¹²Rekao je: "Nećeš više klikovati, okaljana djevice, kćeri sidonska!" Ustani i idi u Kitim; ni ondje nećeš imati mira.

¹³Behold 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.

¹³Evo zemlje kitimske ... podižu se kule opsadne, razaraju utvrde, sve je ruševina.

¹⁴Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

¹⁴Kukajte, brodovi taršiški, razorena je vaša tvrđava!

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Dogodit će se, u onaj dan, da će Tir biti zaboravljen sedamdeset godina, kao dani jednoga kralja. A poslije sedamdeset godina Tiru će biti kao bludnici iz pjesme:

¹⁶Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

¹⁶"Uzmi citaru i skići se gradom, bludnice zaboravljena! Sviraj lijepo, pjevaj mnogo, da te se spomenu!"

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Poslije sedamdeset godina pohodit će Jahve Tir. I grad će opet dobivati svoju plaću bludničku. Podavat će se bludu sa svim kraljevstvima svijeta na licu zemlje.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Ali će njegova dobit i plaća biti posvećena Jahvi; neće se zgrtati ni čuvati, nego će njegova dobit biti za one koji prebivaju pred Jahvom da imaju hrane do sita i doličnu odjeću.
