< Ezekiel 26 >
1 Now in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
E sucedeu no undécimo ano, ao primeiro do mes, que veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;
Filho do homem, porquanto Tiro disse no tocante a Jerusalém: há! há! já está quebrada a porta dos povos; já se virou para mim; eu me encherei, agora que ela está assolada:
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, I am against you, O Tyre, and will send up a number of nations against you as the sea sends up its waves.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra ti, ó Tiro, e farei subir contra ti muitas nações, como se o mar fizesse subir as suas ondas,
4 And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock
Que destruirão os muros de Tiro, e derribarão as suas torres; e eu lhe varrerei o seu pó dela, e dela farei uma penha descalvada.
5 She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.
No meio do mar virá a ser um enxugadouro das redes; porque já eu o falei, diz o Senhor Jehovah; e servirá de despojo para as nações.
6 And her daughters in the open country will be put to the sword: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
E suas filhas, que estiveram no campo, serão mortas a espada; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
7 For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will send up from the north Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and war-carriages and with an army and great numbers of people.
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu trarei contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, desde o norte, o rei dos reis, com cavalos, e com carros, e com cavaleiros, e companhias, e muito povo.
8 He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.
As tuas filhas no campo ele as matará à espada, e fará um baluarte contra ti, e fundará uma tranqueira contra ti, e levantará rodelas contra ti.
9 He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.
E porá trabucos em frente de ti contra os teus muros, e derribará as tuas torres com os seus machados.
10 Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.
Com a multidão de seus cavalos te cobrirá o seu pó: os teus muros tremerão com o estrondo dos cavaleiros, e das rodas, e dos carros, quando ele entrar pelas tuas portas, como pelas entradas de uma cidade em que se fez brecha.
11 Your streets will be stamped down by the feet of his horses: he will put your people to the sword, and will send down the pillars of your strength to the earth.
Com as unhas dos seus cavalos pisará todas as tuas ruas: ao teu povo matará à espada, e as colunas da tua fortaleza derribar-se-ão em terra.
12 They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.
E roubarão as tuas riquezas, e saquearão as tuas mercadorias, e derribarão os teus muros, e arrazarão as tuas casas preciosas; e as tuas pedras, e as tuas madeiras, e o teu pó, lançarão no meio das águas.
13 I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.
E farei cessar o arroido das tuas cantigas, e o som das tuas harpas não se ouvirá mais.
14 I will make you an uncovered rock: you will be a place for the stretching out of nets; there will be no building you up again: for I the Lord have said it, says the Lord.
E farei de ti uma penha descalvada; virás a ser um enxugadouro das redes, nunca mais serás edificada; porque eu, o Senhor, o falei, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
15 This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah a Tiro: Porventura não tremerão as ilhas com o estrondo da tua queda, quando gemerem os traspassados, quando se fizer uma espantosa matança no meio de ti
16 Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.
E todos os príncipes do mar descerão dos seus tronos, e tirarão de si os seus mantos, e despirão os seus vestidos bordados: de tremores se vestirão, sobre a terra se assentarão, e estremecerão a cada momento; e em ti pasmarão.
17 And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!
E levantarão uma lamentação sobre ti, e te dirão: Como pereceste do mar, ó bem povoada e afamada cidade, que foste forte no mar; ela e os seus moradores, que atemorizaram a todos os moradores dela!
18 Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.
Agora estremecerão as ilhas no dia da tua saída, e as ilhas, que estão no mar, turbar-se-ão da sua saída.
19 For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.
Porque assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Quando eu te tiver feito uma cidade assolada, como as cidades que se não habitam, quando fizer sobre ti um abismo, e as muitas águas te cobrirem,
20 Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.
Então te farei descer com os que descem à cova, ao povo antigo, e te deitarei nas mais baixas partes da terra, em lugares desertos antigos, com os que descem à cova, para que não sejas habitada; e estabelecerei a glória na terra dos viventes.
21 I will make you a thing of fear, and you will come to an end: even if you are looked for, you will not be seen again for ever, says the Lord.
Mas por grande espanto te porei a ti, e não serás mais; e quando te buscarem então nunca mais serás achada para sempre, diz o Senhor Jehovah.
