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,
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny volana tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ Jehovah nanao hoe: zananivavy.
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!’
Ry zanak’ olona, noho ny nandatsan’ i Tyro an’ i Jerosalema hoe: Hià! sakoa izay! rava ilay vavahadin’ ny firenena! Mba hifindra amiko kosa izao, ka ho feno aho, fa izy kosa ho foana,
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.
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, hamely anao Aho, ry Tyro, ka hampiakatra ny firenena maro hiady aminao, tahaka ny fampiakatry ny ranomasina ny onjany.
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.
Ary horavan’ ireo ny mandan’ i Tyro, sady harodany ny tilikambony; Dia hofafako hiala aminy ny vovo-taniny, ka hataoko tahaka ny vatolampy mangadihady izy.
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.
Ho famelarana harato eo amin’ ny ranomasina izy; Fa Izaho no niteny izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo, ka dia ho babon’ ny-firenena izy.
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].’
Ary ny zana-bohiny eny an-tanety dia hovonoina amin’ ny sabatra; ka dia ho fantatra fa Izaho no Jehovah.
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.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ho entiko avy any avaratra ho any Tyro Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, andrianan’ ny andriana, mitondra soavaly sy kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary vahoaka betsaka.
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].
Ny zana-bohitrao any an-tanety dia hovonoiny amin’ ny sabatra; ary hanandratra tilikambo sy tovon-tany sady hanangana ampinga lehibe hamelezany anao izy.
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.
Ary hametraka lohondry vy fandravana eo akaikin’ ny mandanao izy, sady horavany amin’ ny fiadiany ny tilikambonao.
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.
Ho feno ny vovo-taniny ianao noho ny habetsahan’ ny soavaliny; hihorohoro ny mandanao noho ny fikorodondrodon’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly sy ny kodia sy ny kalesy, raha miditra eo amin’ ny vavahadinao tahaka ny olona miditra amin’ ny tanàna izay voabanga izy.
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).
Ny kitron-tsoavaliny no hanitsakitsahany ny lalambenao rehetra; ny olonao dia hovonoiny amin’ ny sabatra, ary ny tsangambatonao mafy dia hianjera amin’ ny tany.
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.
Hobaboiny ny hirenao, horobainy ny rantonao, harodany ny mandanao, horavany ny tranonao mahafinantra; ary ny vatonao sy ny hazonao sy ny vovokao dia hataony any amin’ ny rano.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Ary hatsahatro ny feon’ ny hiranao, sady tsy ho re intsony ny fanenon’ ny lokanganao.
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].’
Dia hataoko toy ny vatolampy mangadihady ianao ka ho famelarana harato sady tsy haorina intsony; fa Izaho Jehovah no niteny, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
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.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo amin’ i Tyro: Tsy hihorohoro va ny moron-dranomasina noho ny fikotrokotroky ny firodananao, raha mitrona ny voatrabaka, ary misy vonoana eo ampovoanao?
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.
Dia hidina hiala amin’ ny seza fiandrianany ireo andrianan’ ny ranomasina rehetra ka hiala akanjo sy hanaisotra ny fitadiany misoratsoratra; Hovotra no hitafiany, ka hipetraka amin’ ny tany izy; ary hangovitra isaky ny indray mipi-maso izy ka ho gaga anao.
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.
Ary hanao hira fahalahelovana ny aminao izy ka hanao aminao hoe: Indrisy! rava ianao, ry ilay nonenan’ ny avy any an-dranomasina! Dia ilay tanàna malaza izay nahery teo amin’ ny ranomasina, dia izy mbamin’ ny mponina ao, izay nampahatahotra ny mponina rehetra eo aminy!
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.”’
Ankehitriny dia raiki-tahotra ny amoron-dranomasina amin’ ny andro hianjeranao; Eny, toran-kovitra ny nosy any an-dranomasina noho ny haharavanao.
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,
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Raha hataoko tanàna lao tahaka ireo tanàna haolo ianao, ary hampiakariko aminao ny rano lalina, ka hosaronan’ ny rano be ianao,
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.
Dia hampidiniko hiaraka amin’ izay mivarina any an-davaka ianao, Hankany amin’ ny razana, ka hamponeniko any ambanin’ ny tany ianao, dia any amin’ ny fonenana efa lao hatramin’ ny ela, hiaraka amin’ izay mivarina any an-davaka, mba tsy honenana intsony; ary hasiako voninahitra eo amin’ ny velona;
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].’”
Dia hataoko fampitahorana ianao, ka tsy ho eo intsony; Eny, hotadiavina ianao, nefa tsy ho hita intsony mandrakizay, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
