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,
Ke len se meet in sie ... malem ke yac aksingoul sie in sruoh lasr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
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!’
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, pa inge ma mwet in siti Tyre elos engankin. Elos wowoyak ac fahk, ‘Acn Jerusalem musalsalu! Mutunfacl saya uh ac tia sifil som kuka we, na el ac tia ku in sifilpa alein nu sesr!’
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.
“Ke ma inge, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk uh: Siti Tyre, nga ac lain kom! Nga ac fah use mutunfacl puspis in tuku mweuni kom, ac elos ac fah tuku oana noa meoa tok pe acn uh.
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.
Elos ac fah kunausla pot ke siti sum, ac ikruiya tower lom an. Na nga fah pokla kutkut nukewa nwe ke na ef mukena lula.
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.
Mwet patur uh ac fah laknelik kwa lalos in akpaoyela fin ef ah. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge. Mutunfacl saya ac fah utyak nu in siti Tyre, ac usla ma nukewa we;
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].’
ac sang cutlass natulos in uniya mwet nukewa su muta in siti srisrik fin acn uh. Na Tyre ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
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.
Na LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac fah use sie tokosra su fulat liki tokosra nukewa — Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun facl Babylonia — elan tuku ac mweuni Tyre. El ac fah tuku epang me wi sie un mwet mweun lulap, ac horse ac chariot, oayapa mwet mweun su kasrusr fin horse.
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].
Elos nukewa su muta in siti srisrik uh ac fah anwukla ke mweun sac. Mwet lokoalok uh ac fah pukanak laf, etoak fohk sisken pot uh, ac orala sie kalkal ke mwe loang natulos raunikomla.
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.
Elos ac fah sang sak in fokfok pot ac foklalik pot lom, ac topkakunla tower lom ke osra lulap.
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.
Fusren nien horse uh ac fosryak afinkomla. Kusen nien horse natulos, ac wheel ke wagon ac chariot natulos, ac fah osrokak pot in acn sum ke elos ac kasrusr sasla ke mutunpot lun siti musalla sac.
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).
Mwet mweun fin horse ac fah fokolak inkanek lom, ac uniya mwet lom ke cutlass. Sru kulana lom ac fah topla.
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.
Mwet lokoalok lom ac fah sifacna eis mwe kasrup lom ac mwe kuka lom. Elos ac fah ikruiya pot lom ac kunausya lohm wolana sum nukewa. Elos ac fah eis eot, sak, ac kutkut nukewa, ac sisla nu meoa.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Nga ac fah tulokinya pusren on lom nukewa in wanginla, ac pusren harp nutum fah tia sifil lohngyuk.
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].’
Nga fah oru tuh ef mukena in oan, mwe akpaoye kwa lun mwet patur uh. Siti uh ac fah tia sifil musaiyuk. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
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.
Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD Fulatlana nu sin siti Tyre: “Ke pacl se mwet mweun uh kutangkomla, mwet su muta wekof uh fah tuninfongla ke elos lohng pusren wowo lun mwet ma ac anwuki uh.
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.
Tokosra nukewa lun mutunfacl su muta wekof uh ac tufah fani liki tron lalos. Elos ac fah sarukla nuknuk in wal lalos ac nuknuk akul kato lalos, ac muta rarrar fin fohk uh. Elos ac fah tuninfongla ke ongoiya lulap nu sum uh, pwanang elos ac tia tui ke rarrar.
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.
Elos ac fah yuk on in mas misa soko inge nu sum: Siti pwengpeng sac kunausyukla! Oak okoal pokyukla liki meoa uh. Mwet in siti uh elos tuh leumi inkof uh meet, Ac aksangengye mwet ma muta sisken meoa uh.
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.”’
Na inge, ke len se ma el musalla uh, Tuka nukewa kusrusryak, Ac mwet uh lut ma lulap ke ma sikyak inge.”
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,
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac fah oru tuh kom in sie siti sikiyukla, in oana siti ma musalla yen wanginla mwet muta we. Nga ac fah afinkomla ke kof in acn loal meoa.
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.
Nga ac fah supwekomla nu in facl sin mwet misa in welulos su misa in pacl oemeet ah. Nga ac fah oru kom in muta ye fohk fin faclu, inmasrlon ma kulamla in pacl oemeet ah, ac tukeni yurin mwet misa. Ke sripa inge, kom ac fah tiana sifil foloko liki acn ingo in muta yen sin mwet moul.
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].’”
Nga ac fah oru tuh kom in sie mwe aksangeng, na ac fah pa ingan saflaiyom. Mwet uh finne suk kom, elos ac fah tiana konekomyak.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
