以西結書 26
1 十一年十一月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 人子，因為提洛譏笑耶路撒冷說：『哈哈! 眾民的門戶已破壞，已轉讓與我；我要富強，她反要荒蕪。』
“Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’
3 為此吾主上主這樣說：提洛，看，我要攻擊你，引領眾民像滾來的海潮來攻擊你。
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
4 他們要破壞提洛的城牆，蕩平角樓，而我要掃除其中的塵土，使她成為光滑的磐石，
They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.
5 作為海中曬網的地方：這是我，上主親自說的──吾主上主的斷語──她必成為異民的掠物。
She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,
6 那在陸地上的屬城，必毀於刀劍：如此，他們要承認我是上主。
and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
7 因為吾主上主這樣說：看，我要使王中之王，巴比倫王拿步高，從北方率領戰馬、戰車、騎兵和龐大的聯軍來攻打提洛。
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.
8 他要用刀劍屠殺你陸上的屬城，豎起攻你的雲梯，築起攻你的高台，設立攻你的高楯，
He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.
9 支起破城機撞擊你的城牆，用鐵器擊毀你的角樓。
He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.
10 你要為他大批戰馬所掀起的塵土所掩蓋，你的城牆要為他的騎兵、車輪和戰車的轟轟聲所震動；當他進入你的城門時，好像進入一座已征服的城。
His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
11 他戰馬的鐵蹄要踏遍你的街道，他將用刀劍屠殺你的人民，且把你的神柱推倒在地。
The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.
12 他們要搶掠你的財富，劫奪你的貨品，破壞你的城垣，拆毀你豪華的宮室，並把你的石頭、木材和瓦礫拋到海中。
They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.
13 我要使你的歌聲停止，再也聽不到你的琴聲。
So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.
14 我要使你成為光滑的磐石，成為曬網的乾地；你將永不得重建，因為是我，上主說的──吾主上主的斷語。
I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’
15 吾主上主論提洛這樣說：當屠刀在你中間屠殺之時，受傷者呻吟之際，你傾倒之聲，群島聽了，豈不震動﹖
This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?
16 所有海上的王子都要由寶座上下來，除去朝服，脫下錦衣，皆為恐怖所籠罩，坐在地上，不停地戰慄，為你而驚駭。
All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.
17 他們且作哀歌憑弔你說：你這居於水上，海上稱霸的名城，你和你的居民曾威脅過陸上的居民，怎麼滅亡了呢﹖
Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!
18 現今，群島在你傾覆之日大為震動，海中島嶼為了你的結局，甚為恐懼。
Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’
19 因為吾主上主這樣說：當我使你成為一座荒蕪，像無人居住的城池時，當我使深淵上升，使大水淹沒你時，
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,
20 我要把你推下，與先前下到陰府的古人在一起；我要使你住在極深之處，即住在久已荒蕪之地；與下到陰府的人在一起，以致你再不得返回，在生活的大地上復興。
then I will bring you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living.
21 我要使你成為恐怖的對象，永不復存在；即便人找你，也永遠再找不到──吾主上主的斷語。」
I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
