< 以西結書 26 >

1 十一年十一月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, there hath been a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 'Son of man,
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。』
Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round unto me, I am filled — she hath been laid waste,
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up.
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 have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a 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。
A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea, For I — I have spoken — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And she hath been for a spoil to 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 who [are] in the field, by sword they are slain, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah,
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north — a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.
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,
Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler.
9 支起破城機撞擊你的城牆,用鐵器擊毀你的角樓。
And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons.
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。
From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into a city broken-up.
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 hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places, Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy strength to the earth come down.
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 they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood, and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place.
13 我要使你的歌聲停止,再也聽不到你的琴聲。
And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the voice of thy harps is 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 have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any more, For I, Jehovah, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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﹖
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Do not — from the noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake?
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 come down from off their thrones have all princes of the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at thee,
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 have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on 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。
Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that [are] in the sea, at thine outgoing.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: In my making thee a city wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great waters.
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 I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts — in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty 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。」
Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art sought, and art not found any more — to the age, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
