< Ezekiel 26 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, there has been a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
十一年十一月一日,上主的話傳給我說:「
2 Because that Tyre has said of Jerusalem: Aha, she has been broken, The doors of the peoples, She has turned around to me, I am filled—she has been 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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyre, And have caused many nations to come up against you, As the sea causes its billows to come 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 have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a 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 is a spreading place of nets in the midst of the sea, For I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And she has been for a spoil to 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 And her daughters who [are] in the field, are slain by sword, And they have known that I [am] YHWH,”
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 said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Tyre, From the north—a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous 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 He slays your daughters in the field by sword, And he has made a fort against you, And has poured out a mound against you, And has raised a buckler against you.
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 places a battering-ram before him against your walls, And he breaks your towers with his weapons.
支起破城機撞擊你的城牆,用鐵器擊毀你的角樓。
10 From the abundance of his horses their dust cover you, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Your walls shake, in his coming into your gates, As the coming into a city that has been broken-up.
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 He treads all your out-places with [the] hooves of his horses, He slays your people by sword, And the pillars of your strength come down to the earth.
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 And they have spoiled your wealth, And they have plundered your merchandise, And they have thrown down your walls, And they break down your desirable houses, And your stones, and your wood, and your dust, They place 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 have caused the noise of your songs to cease, And the voice of your harps is heard no more.
我要使你的歌聲停止,再也聽不到你的琴聲。
14 And I have given you up for a clear place of a rock, You are a spreading-place of nets, You are not built up anymore, For I, YHWH, have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
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 said Lord YHWH to Tyre: “Do not—from the noise of your fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in your midst—The islands shake?
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 And all princes of the sea have come down from off their thrones, And they have turned their robes aside, And strip off their embroidered garments, They put on trembling, They sit on the earth, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at you,
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 have lifted up a lamentation for you, And said to you: How you have perished, That are inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
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 the islands tremble [on the] day of your fall; The islands that [are] in the sea have been troubled at your outgoing.”
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 said Lord YHWH: “In My making you a city dried up, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up the deep against you, Then the great waters have covered you.
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 I have caused you to go down, With those going down to the pit, To the people of old, And I have caused you to dwell In the lower parts of the earth—in ancient ruins, With those going down to the pit, So that you are not inhabited, And I have given beauty 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 make you a terror, and you are not, And you are sought, and are not found anymore—for all time,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
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。」
