< 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,
E sucedeu no décimo primeiro ano, no primeiro [dia] do mês, que veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
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!’
Filho do homem, dado que Tiro falou sobre Jerusalém: Ha, ha!, quebrada está a porta das nações; ela se virou para mim; eu me encherei [de riquezas], [agora] que ela está assolada;
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.
Por isso, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Tiro; e farei subir contra ti muitas nações, tal como o mar faz subir suas ondas.
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.
E demolirão os muros de Tiro, e derrubarão suas torres; varrerei dela seu pó, e a deixarei como uma rocha exposta.
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.
Servirá para estender redes no meio do mar, porque [assim] eu falei, diz o Senhor DEUS; e será saqueada pelas nações.
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].’
E suas filhas que estiverem no campo serão mortas à espada; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
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.
Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que desde o norte eu trarei contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, rei de reis, com cavalos, carruagens, cavaleiros, tropas, e muito povo.
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].
Tuas filhas no campo ele matará à espada; e porá contra ti fortalezas, fará cerco contra ti, e levantará escudos contra ti.
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.
E fará aríetes baterem contra teus muros, e derrubará tuas torres com suas espadas.
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.
Com a multidão de seus cavalos o pó deles te cobrirá; teus muros tremerão com o estrondo dos cavaleiros, das rodas, e das carruagens, quando ele entrar por tuas portas como quem entra por uma cidade em ruínas.
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).
Com as unhas de seus cavalos pisará todas as tuas ruas; matará teu povo à espada, e as colunas de tua fortaleza cairão por terra.
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.
E roubarão tuas riquezas, e saquearão tuas mercadorias; derrubarão teus muros, e arruinarão tuas preciosas casas; e lançarão tuas pedras, tua madeira e teu pó no meio das águas.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
E farei cessar o ruído de tuas canções, e o som de tuas harpas não será mais ouvido.
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].’
E te farei como uma rocha exposta; servirás para estender redes; e nunca mais serás reconstruída; porque eu, o SENHOR falei, diz o Senhor DEUS.
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.
Assim diz o Senhor DEUS a Tiro: Por acaso não se estremecerão as ilhas com o estrondo de tua queda, quando os feridos gemerem, quando houver grande matança no meio de ti?
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.
Então todos os príncipes do mar descerão de seus tronos, tirarão de si seus mantos, e despirão suas roupas bordadas; com tremores se vestirão, sobre a terra se sentarão, e estremecerão em todo momento, e ficarão espantados por causa de ti.
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.
E levantarão lamentação por causa de ti, e te dirão: Como pereceste tu, povoada dos mares, famosa cidade, que foi forte no mar; ela e seus moradores, que punham seu espanto a todos os moradores dela?
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.”’
Agora as terras costeiras se estremecerão no dia de tua queda; e as ilhas que estão no mar se espantarão com o teu fim.
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,
Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Quando eu te tornar uma cidade desolada, como as cidades que não se habitam; quando eu fizer subir sobre ti um abismo, e muitas águas te cobrirem,
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.
Então eu te farei descer com os que descem à cova, junto dos povos do passado; e te porei nas profundezas da terra, como os lugares desertos antigos, com os que descem à cova, para que não sejas habitada; então darei glória na terra dos viventes.
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].’”
Eu te tonarei em espanto, e não mais existirás; e ainda que te busquem, nunca mais serás achada, diz o Senhor DEUS.
