以西結書 26
1 十一年十一月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] 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 Sor has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is crushed: the nations are destroyed: she is turned to me: she that was full is made desolate:
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 thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea comes up with 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，
And they shall cast down the walls of Sor, and shall cast down your towers: and I will scrape her dust from off 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 shall be in the midst of the sea a place for repairing nets: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord: and it shall be a spoil 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 her daughters [which are] in the field shall be slain with the sword, and they shall 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 thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring up against you, O Sor, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon from the north: he is a king of kings, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and a concourse of very many nations.
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 shall kill your daughters that are in the field with the sword, and shall set a watch against you, and build forts around you, and carry a rampart round against you, and set up warlike works, and array his spears against you.
9 支起破城機撞擊你的城牆，用鐵器擊毀你的角樓。
He shall cast down with his swords your walls and your towers.
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。
By reason of your multitude of his horses their dust shall cover you, and by reason of the sound of his horsemen and the wheels of his chariots the walls shall be shaken, when he enters into your gates, as one entering into a city from the plain.
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。
With the hoofs of his horses they shall trample all your streets: he shall kill your people with the sword, and shall bring down to the ground the support of your strength.
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。
And he shall prey upon your power, and plunder your substance, and shall cast down your walls, and break down your pleasant houses: and he shall cast your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of your sea.
13 我要使你的歌聲停止，再也聽不到你的琴聲。
And he shall destroy the multitude of your musicians, and the sound of your lutes shall be heard no more.
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。
And I will make you a bare rock: you shall be a place to spread nets upon; you shall be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken [it], says the Lord.
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﹖
For thus says the Lord God to Sor; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, while the wounded are groaning, while they have drawn a sword in the midst of you?
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。
And all the princes of the nations of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and shall take off their crowns from their heads, and shall take off their embroidered raiment: they shall be utterly amazed; they shall sit upon the ground, and fear their [own] destruction, and shall groan 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﹖
And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and shall say to you, How are you destroyed from out of the sea, the renowned city, that brought her terror upon all her inhabitants.
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。
And the isles shall be alarmed at the day of your fall.
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 thus says the Lord God; When I shall make the city desolate, as the cities that shall not be inhabited, when I have brought the deep up upon 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。
and great waters shall cover you; and I shall bring you down to them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause you to dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them that go down to the pit, that you may not be inhabited, nor stand upon the land of life;
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 a destruction, and you shall be no more for ever, says the Lord God.
