< Ezekiel 26 >
1 On the first day of the month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
And it was in one [plus] ten year on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
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!’
O son of humankind because that it said Tyre on Jerusalem aha! it is broken [the] doors of the peoples it has been turned over to me I will be filled it has been laid waste.
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.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Tyre and I will bring up on you nations many as brings up the sea waves its.
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.
And they will destroy [the] walls of Tyre and they will tear down towers its and I will scrape away dust its from it and I will make it into bareness of rock.
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,
A spreading place of nets it will be in [the] middle of the sea for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and it will become spoil for the nations.
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.
And daughters its which [are] on the land with the sword they will be killed and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
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.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon from [the] north [the] king of kings with horse[s] and with chariotry and with horsemen and a company and a people numerous.
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.
Daughters your on the land with the sword he will kill and he will make on you a siege-wall and he will pour out on you a mound and he will raise up on you a body shield.
9 He will have his battering rams smash your walls and use his tools to demolish your towers.
And [the] blow of battering-ram his he will set on walls your and towers your he will break down with swords his.
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.
From [the] abundance of horses his it will cover you dust their from [the] sound of a horseman and wheel[s] and chariot[s] they will shake walls your when comes he in gates your like [the] entering of a city broken into.
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.
With [the] hooves of horses his he will trample all streets your people your with the sword he will kill and [the] pillars of strength your to the ground it will come down.
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.
And they will plunder wealth your and they will take as spoil merchandise your and they will tear down walls your and [the] houses of desire your they will pull down and stones your and wood your and dust your in [the] midst of [the] waters they will put.
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.
And I will put an end to [the] noise of songs your and [the] sound of harps your not it will be heard again.
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.
And I will make you into bareness of rock a spreading place of nets you will be not you will be built again for I Yahweh I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
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?
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Tyre ¿ not - from [the] sound of downfall your when groan [the] fatally wounded when is killed a slaughter in [the] midst of you will they quake the islands.
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.
And they will go down from on thrones their all [the] princes of the sea and they will remove robes their and [the] clothes of multicolored cloth their they will strip off trembling - they will be clothed on the ground they will sit and they will tremble to moments and they will be appalled on you.
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!
And they will take up on you a lamentation and they will say to you how! you have perished O inhabited [city] from [the] seas O city that was praised which it was mighty in the sea it and inhabitants its which they gave terror their to all inhabitants its.
18 Now the people of the coastlands tremble at your defeat, while those in the islands of the sea are horrified at your downfall.’
Now they will tremble the islands [the] day of downfall your and they will be terrified the islands which [are] in the sea because went out you.
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.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when make I you a city desolate like cities which not they are inhabited when bring up over you [the] deep and they will cover you the waters many.
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.
And I will send down you with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit to a people of antiquity and I will cause to dwell you in [the] earth of [the] lowest parts like waste places from long ago with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit so that not you will remain and I will put splendor in [the] land of [the] living.
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.”
Terrors I will give to you and there not [will be] you so you may be sought and not you will be found again for ever [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
