Ezechiël 27
1 Het woord van Jahweh werd tot mij gericht.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Mensenkind, ge moet over Tyrus een klaagzang aanheffen,
“You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
3 en zeggen tot Tyrus, dat de toegangen der zee beheerst, en handel drijft met de volken op vele kusten: Zo spreekt Jahweh, de Heer! Tyrus, ge dacht bij u zelf: Ik ben het toppunt van schoonheid!
And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am of perfect beauty,
4 Op de hoge zee lag uw domein, Uw bouwers voerden uw schoonheid ten top!
for I have been positioned at the heart of the sea!’ Your neighbors, who built you, have filled up your beauty.
5 Van cypressen uit Senir Hebben ze al uw ribben getimmerd; Ze kozen een Libanon-ceder, Om een mast op u te bouwen.
They constructed you with spruce from Senir, with all the planks of the sea. They have taken cedars from Lebanon, so that they might make a mast for you.
6 Van eiken uit Basjan Maakten ze uw riemen; Uw kajuitwand van ivoor; in pijnhout gezet, Van de eilanden der Kittiërs.
They have formed your oars from the oaks of Bashan. And they have made your crossbeams from Indian ivory, and the pilothouse is from the islands of Italy.
7 Bont-gestikte damast uit Egypte Was uw zeildoek, en diende u als wimpel; Blauw en purper uit de eilanden van Elisja Kleurden uw tentdak.
Colorful fine linen from Egypt was woven for you as a sail to be placed upon the mast; hyacinth and purple from the islands of Elishah were made into your covering.
8 Burgers van Sidon en Arwad waren uw roeiers, De wijzen van Simirra uw stuurlui;

The ships of the sea were important to your business dealings. For you were replenished and exceedingly glorified in the heart of the sea.

Your rowers have brought you into many waters. The south wind has worn you down in the heart of the sea.
27 Met uw schatten, uw waren, uw lading, Uw matrozen en stuurlui. Met uw breeuwers, uw handelaars En al uw soldaten, Met heel uw bemanning, Die gij aan boord hadt. Ze zinken weg in de diepten der zee Op de dag van uw ondergang;
Your riches, and your treasures, and your versatile equipment, your sailors and your navigators, who handle your goods and who were first among your people, likewise your men of war, who were among you, and your entire multitude that is in your midst: they will fall in the heart of the sea on the day of your ruin.
28 Van de noodkreten van uw stuurlui Gaat de zeespiegel beven.

And all who were handling the oar will descend from their ships; the sailors and all the navigators of the sea will stand upon the land.
30 Ze heffen een gejammer over u aan, En klagen verdrietig; Ze strooien as op hun hoofden, Wentelen zich in het stof.
And they will howl over you with a great voice, and they will cry out with bitterness. And they will cast dust upon their heads, and they will be sprinkled with ashes.
31 Om u scheren ze zich kaal, Doen ze rouwkleren aan; Om u wenen ze met hartgrondige droefheid, Met bittere rouw.
And they will shave their heads because of you, and they will be wrapped in haircloth. And they will weep for you with bitterness of soul, with a very bitter weeping.

And they will take up a mournful verse over you, and they will lament you: ‘What city is like Tyre, which has become mute in the midst of the sea?’

For by the going forth of your merchandise by sea, you supplied many peoples; by the multitude of your riches and of your people, you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Nu ligt ge gekraakt, van de oceaan verdwenen, Op de bodem der zee! Uw waren en heel uw bemanning Zijn, binnen uw wanden, gezonken.
Now you have been worn away by the sea, your opulence is in the depths of the waters, and your entire multitude that was in your midst has fallen.
35 Alle bewoners der eilanden Staan star van ontzetting over u; Van hun koningen rijzen de haren ten berge, Valt het aangezicht in.
All the inhabitants of the islands have been stupefied over you; and all their kings, having been struck by the tempest, have changed their expression.

The merchants of the peoples have hissed over you. You have been reduced to nothing, and you shall not be again, even forever.”
