< 以西結書 26 >
It happened in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of YHWH 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 has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that 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 says YHWH, 'Look, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come 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。
They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare 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 place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it," says YHWH; "and she shall become 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 who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am YHWH.
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 says YHWH: 'Look, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many 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。
He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
9 他必安設撞城錘攻破你的牆垣,用鐵器拆毀你的城樓。
He shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
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 abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.
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 shall he tread down all your streets; he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall go down 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 make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your 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。
I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard.
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。」
I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more: for I have spoken it,' says YHWH.
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 says YHWH to Tyre: 'Shall not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
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 lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
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?
They shall take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, "How you are destroyed, you have vanished from the seas, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there.
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 islands tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the islands that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your departure."'
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 says YHWH: 'When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep on you, and the great waters shall cover you;
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。
then will I bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set 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 make you a terror, and you shall no more have any being; though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,' says YHWH."
