< Ezekiel 26 >
1 Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Yhdentenätoista vuotena, kuukauden ensimmäisenä päivänä, tuli minulle tämä Herran sana:
2 “You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
"Ihmislapsi, koska Tyyro sanoi Jerusalemista: 'Kas niin! Murrettu on kansojen ovi, minuun päin se on kääntynyt, minä tulen täyteen-se on rauniona!'
3 Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
sentähden, näin sanoo Herra, Herra: Katso, minä käyn sinun kimppuusi, Tyyro, ja nostatan monet kansat sinua vastaan, niinkuin meri nostaa aaltonsa.
4 Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
Ne hävittävät Tyyron muurit, repivät maahan sen tornit, ja minä lakaisen siitä pois sen tomutkin ja panen sen paljaaksi kallioksi.
5 Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
Siitä tulee verkkojen kuivauspaikka keskelle merta. Sillä minä olen puhunut, sanoo Herra, Herra; ja se joutuu kansojen ryöstettäväksi.
6 The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
Sen tytärkaupungit, jotka ovat mantereella, surmataan miekalla, ja he tulevat tietämään, että minä olen Herra.
7 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
Sillä näin sanoo Herra, Herra: Katso, minä tuon Tyyron kimppuun Nebukadressarin, Baabelin kuninkaan pohjoisesta, kuninkaitten kuninkaan, hevosten ja vaunujen ja ratsumiesten ja suuren väenpaljouden kanssa.
8 [In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
Sinun tytärkaupunkisi, jotka ovat mantereella, hän surmaa miekalla ja asettaa sinua vastaan saartovarusteet, luo sinua vastaan vallin, nostaa sinua vastaan kilpikatoksen,
9 The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
suuntaa sinun muureihisi murtajansa iskut ja kukistaa tornisi rauta-aseillansa.
10 The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
Hänen hevostensa paljous peittää sinut pölyyn. Ratsumiesten, pyöräin ja vaunujen ryskeestä sinun muurisi vapisevat, kun hän hyökkää sisälle sinun porteistasi, niinkuin valloitettuun kaupunkiin hyökätään.
11 The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
Hevostensa kavioilla hän tallaa rikki sinun katusi kaikki, surmaa miekalla sinun kansasi, ja sinun mahtavat patsaasi kaatuvat maahan.
12 They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
He riistävät sinun rikkautesi ja ryöstävät kauppatavarasi, repivät muurisi maahan ja kukistavat kauniit talosi, ja kivesi, puusi, tomusi he heittävät meren syvyyteen.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Minä lakkautan laulujesi helinän, eikä kuulu enää kanneltesi soitto.
14 The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
Minä panen sinut paljaaksi kallioksi, sinusta tulee verkkojen kuivauspaikka, eikä sinua enää rakenneta. Sillä minä, Herra, olen puhunut, sanoo Herra, Herra.
15 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
Näin sanoo Herra, Herra Tyyrolle: Eivätkö sinun kukistumisesi pauhusta, kun haavoitetut voihkivat, kun surman omat surmataan sinun keskelläsi, saaret vapise?
16 Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
Valtaistuimiltaan astuvat alas kaikki meren ruhtinaat. He heittävät pois viittansa ja riisuvat kirjaellut vaatteensa, he pukeutuvat kauhuun ja istuvat maahan, värisevät joka hetki, tyrmistyneinä sinun tähtesi.
17 Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
He virittävät sinusta itkuvirren ja sanovat sinulle: 'Kuinka olet sinä, joka olit asuttu, hävinnyt meriltä, sinä ylistetty kaupunki, väkevä merellä, sinä ja sinun asukkaasi, jotka levittivät kauhuansa kaikkiin siellä asuvaisiin.
18 Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
Nyt värisevät saaret sinun kukistumisesi päivänä, merensaaret kauhistuvat sinun loppuasi.'
19 This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
Sillä näin sanoo Herra, Herra: Kun minä teen sinusta aution kaupungin, niinkuin asumattomat kaupungit ovat, kun minä annan syvyyden käydä sinun ylitsesi ja paljot vedet peittävät sinut,
20 then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
silloin minä syöksen sinut alas hautaanvaipuneitten pariin, ikiaikojen kansan tykö, ja annan sinulle asunnon maan syvyyksissä, niinkuin siellä ovat ikiaikojen rauniot, hautaanvaipuneitten parissa, ettei sinussa asuttaisi; mutta ihanuuden minä annan elävien maahan.
21 I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
Sinut minä panen kauhuksi, sinua ei sitten enää ole; ja jos sinua etsitään, ei sinua enää löydy, hamaan ikiaikoihin asti, sanoo Herra, Herra."
