< 以西結書 26 >

1 第十一年十一月初一日,耶和華的話臨到我說:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 「人子啊,因泰爾向耶路撒冷說:『阿哈,那作眾民之門的已經破壞,向我開放;她既變為荒場,我必豐盛。』
Son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, the gates of the people are broken, she is turned to me: I shall be filled, now she is laid waste.
3 所以,主耶和華如此說:泰爾啊,我必與你為敵,使許多國民上來攻擊你,如同海使波浪湧上來一樣。
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up to thee, as the waves of the sea rise up.
4 他們必破壞泰爾的牆垣,拆毀她的城樓。我也要刮淨塵土,使她成為淨光的磐石。
And they shall break down the walls of Tyre, and destroy the towers thereof: and I will scrape her dust from her, and make her like a smooth rock.
5 她必在海中作曬網的地方,也必成為列國的擄物。這是主耶和華說的。
She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of the sea, because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil to the nations.
6 屬泰爾城邑的居民必被刀劍殺滅,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be slain by the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 主耶和華如此說:「我必使諸王之王的巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領馬匹車輛、馬兵、軍隊,和許多人民從北方來攻擊你泰爾。
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring against Tyre Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people.
8 他必用刀劍殺滅屬你城邑的居民,也必造臺築壘舉盾牌攻擊你。
Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee.
9 他必安設撞城錘攻破你的牆垣,用鐵器拆毀你的城樓。
And he shall set engines of mar and battering rams against thy walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms.
10 因他的馬匹眾多,塵土揚起遮蔽你。他進入你的城門,好像人進入已有破口之城。那時,你的牆垣必因騎馬的和戰車、輜重車的響聲震動。
By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of a city that is destroyed.
11 他的馬蹄必踐踏你一切的街道;他必用刀殺戮你的居民。你堅固的柱子必倒在地上。
With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets: thy people he shall kill with the sword, and thy famous statues shall fall to the ground.
12 人必以你的財寶為擄物,以你的貨財為掠物,破壞你的牆垣,拆毀你華美的房屋,將你的石頭、木頭、塵土都拋在水中。
They shall waste thy riches, they shall make a spoil of thy merchandise: and they shall destroy thy walls, and pull down thy fine houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber, and thy dust in the midst of the waters.
13 我必使你唱歌的聲音止息;人也不再聽見你彈琴的聲音。
And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more.
14 我必使你成為淨光的磐石,作曬網的地方。你不得再被建造,因為這是主耶和華說的。」
And I will make thee like a naked rock, then shalt be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken it, saith. the Lord God.
15 主耶和華對泰爾如此說:「在你中間行殺戮,受傷之人唉哼的時候,因你傾倒的響聲,海島豈不都震動嗎?
Thus saith the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the islands shake at the sound of thy fall, and the groans of thy slain when they shall be killed in the midst of thee?
16 那時靠海的君王必都下位,除去朝服,脫下花衣,披上戰兢,坐在地上,時刻發抖,為你驚駭。
Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones: and take off their robes, and cast away their broidered garments, and be clothed with astonishment: they shall sit on the ground, and with amazement shall wonder at thy sudden fall.
17 他們必為你作起哀歌說: 你這有名之城, 素為航海之人居住, 在海上為最堅固的; 平日你和居民使一切住在那裏的人無不驚恐; 現在何竟毀滅了?
And taking up a lamentation over thee, they shall sag to thee: How art thou fallen, that dwellest in the sea, renowned city that wast strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants whom all did dread?
18 如今在你這傾覆的日子, 海島都必戰兢; 海中的群島見你歸於無有就都驚惶。」
Now shall the ships be astonished in the day of thy terror: and the islands in the sea shall be troubled because no one cometh out of thee.
19 主耶和華如此說:「泰爾啊,我使你變為荒涼,如無人居住的城邑;又使深水漫過你,大水淹沒你。
For thus saith the Lord God: When I shall make thee a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited: and shall bring the deep upon thee, and many waters shall cover thee:
20 那時,我要叫你下入陰府,與古時的人一同在地的深處、久已荒涼之地居住,使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之地顯榮耀。
And when I shall bring thee down with those that descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and shall set thee in the lowest parts of the earth, as places desolate of old, with them that are brought down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited: and when I shall give glory in the land of the living,
21 我必叫你令人驚恐,不再存留於世;人雖尋找你,卻永尋不見。這是主耶和華說的。」
I will bring thee to nothing, and thou shalt not be, and if thou be sought for, thou shalt not be found any more for ever, saith the Lord God.
