< Ezekiel 26 >

1 On the first day of the month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
第十一年十一月初一日,耶和华的话临到我说:
2 “Son of man, because Tyre said about Jerusalem, ‘Oh good! The trade gateway to the nations has been broken—it's swung wide open for me. Now that Jerusalem has been destroyed, I will be rich!’
“人子啊,因泰尔向耶路撒冷说:‘阿哈,那作众民之门的已经破坏,向我开放;她既变为荒场,我必丰盛。’
3 this is why the Lord God says: Watch out, Tyre! I'm condemning you, and I will have many nations come and attack you, just like the sea that sends its waves crashing against the shore.
所以,主耶和华如此说:泰尔啊,我必与你为敌,使许多国民上来攻击你,如同海使波浪涌上来一样。
4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers. I will scrape off the soil that's on her and turn her into a bare rock.
他们必破坏泰尔的墙垣,拆毁她的城楼。我也要刮净尘土,使她成为净光的磐石。
5 Out there in the sea she will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. I have spoken, declares the Lord God. Other nations will come and loot her,
她必在海中作晒网的地方,也必成为列国的掳物。这是主耶和华说的。
6 and the people living in her villages on the mainland will die by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
属泰尔城邑的居民必被刀剑杀灭,他们就知道我是耶和华。”
7 For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of kings, to attack Tyre from the north. He will come with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a huge army.
主耶和华如此说:“我必使诸王之王的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领马匹车辆、马兵、军队,和许多人民从北方来攻击你泰尔。
8 He will kill the people living in your villages of the mainland with the sword. He will construct siege works to attack you. He will build a ramp against your walls, and his soldiers will hold their shields above them as they advance on you.
他必用刀剑杀灭属你城邑的居民,也必造台筑垒举盾牌攻击你。
9 He will have his battering rams smash your walls and use his tools to demolish your towers.
他必安设撞城锤攻破你的墙垣,用铁器拆毁你的城楼。
10 He will have so many horses you will be covered by the dust they throw up. When he comes in through your gates it will sound like an army charging into a defeated city. Your walls will shake from all the noise made by the cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
因他的马匹众多,尘土扬起遮蔽你。他进入你的城门,好像人进入已有破口之城。那时,你的墙垣必因骑马的和战车、辎重车的响声震动。
11 His horses will race through your city streets. He will kill all your people with the sword. Your massive pillars will come tumbling to the ground.
他的马蹄必践踏你一切的街道;他必用刀杀戮你的居民。你坚固的柱子必倒在地上。
12 They will steal your wealth and loot your goods. They will knock down your walls, demolish the houses you love so much, and dump the debris and rubble into the sea.
人必以你的财宝为掳物,以你的货财为掠物,破坏你的墙垣,拆毁你华美的房屋,将你的石头、木头、尘土都抛在水中。
13 This is how I'm going to put a stop to your singing. The music of your harps won't be heard any longer.
我必使你唱歌的声音止息;人也不再听见你弹琴的声音。
14 I will turn you into a bare rock, and you will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. Tyre won't ever be rebuilt. I, the Lord, have spoken, declares the Lord God.
我必使你成为净光的磐石,作晒网的地方。你不得再被建造,因为这是主耶和华说的。”
15 This is what the Lord God says to the inhabitants of Tyre: Aren't the people of the coastlands going to shake in terror when they hear your city collapse, when the wounded groan at the killing inside your city?
主耶和华对泰尔如此说:“在你中间行杀戮,受伤之人唉哼的时候,因你倾倒的响声,海岛岂不都震动吗?
16 All the rulers of the coastlands will come down from their thrones, remove their royal robes, and take off their embroidered clothes. Instead they will be clothed with terror and sit on the ground, trembling the whole time, shocked at what's happened to you.
那时靠海的君王必都下位,除去朝服,脱下花衣,披上战兢,坐在地上,时刻发抖,为你惊骇。
17 Then they will sing a funeral song for you, saying, ‘You've been destroyed so completely, famous city! You once ruled the sea—you and your people terrified everyone else!
他们必为你作起哀歌说: 你这有名之城, 素为航海之人居住, 在海上为最坚固的; 平日你和居民使一切住在那里的人无不惊恐; 现在何竟毁灭了?
18 Now the people of the coastlands tremble at your defeat, while those in the islands of the sea are horrified at your downfall.’
如今在你这倾覆的日子, 海岛都必战兢; 海中的群岛见你归于无有就都惊惶。”
19 For this is what the Lord God says: I will turn you into a ruin just like other uninhabited cities. I will have the sea rise up to cover you with deep water.
主耶和华如此说:“泰尔啊,我使你变为荒凉,如无人居住的城邑;又使深水漫过你,大水淹没你。
20 I will bring you down with those who are headed to the grave to join people from long ago. I will make you live under the earth like the ruins of the past together with those who have gone down into the grave, so that no one will live in you and you won't have any place in the land of the living.
那时,我要叫你下入阴府,与古时的人一同在地的深处、久已荒凉之地居住,使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之地显荣耀。
21 I will turn you into something horrific, and you won't exist any longer. People will look for you, but won't ever find you, declares the Lord God.”
我必叫你令人惊恐,不再存留于世;人虽寻找你,却永寻不见。这是主耶和华说的。”
