< Ezekiel 26 >

1 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:
十一年十一月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
2 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.
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。』
3 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.
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。
4 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.
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,
5 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.
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。
6 Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be slain by the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
那在陸地上的屬城,必毀於刀劍:如此,他們要承認我是上主。
7 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.
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。
8 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.
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,
9 And he shall set engines of mar and battering rams against thy walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms.
支起破城機撞擊你的城牆,用鐵器擊毀你的角樓。
10 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.
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。
11 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.
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。
12 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.
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。
13 And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more.
我要使你的歌聲停止,再也聽不到你的琴聲。
14 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.
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。
15 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?
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﹖
16 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.
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。
17 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?
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﹖
18 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.
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。
19 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:
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,
20 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,
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。
21 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.
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。」
