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,
En el año undécimo, en el primero del mes, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
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!’
“Hijo de hombre, porque Tiro ha dicho contra Jerusalén: “¡Ah, está rota! La que era la puerta de los pueblos ha sido devuelta a mí. Ahora que ha sido destruida, me repondré’;
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 lo tanto, el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo estoy contra ti, Tiro, y haré que suban contra ti muchas naciones, como el mar hace subir sus olas.
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.
Destruirán los muros de Tiro y derribarán sus torres. También rasparé su polvo y la convertiré en una roca desnuda.
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.
Será un lugar para tender las redes en medio del mar; porque yo lo he dicho — dice el Señor Yahvé. Se convertirá en un botín para las naciones.
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].’
Sus hijas que están en el campo serán asesinadas a espada. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé’.
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 el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo traigo sobre Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes, desde el norte, con caballos, con carros, con jinetes, y un ejército con mucha gente.
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].
Matará a tus hijas en el campo con la espada. Hará contra ti fortalezas, levantará contra ti un túmulo y alzará contra ti el escudo.
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.
Pondrá sus arietes contra tus muros, y con sus hachas derribará tus torres.
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.
Por la abundancia de sus caballos, su polvo te cubrirá. Tus muros temblarán por el ruido de la caballería, de los carros y de las carrozas, cuando él entre por tus puertas, como se entra en una ciudad abierta.
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).
Con los cascos de sus caballos pisoteará todas tus calles. Matará a tu pueblo con la espada. Las columnas de tu fortaleza caerán a tierra.
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.
Saquearán tus riquezas y harán presa de tus mercancías. Derribarán tus murallas y destruirán tus casas agradables. Pondrán tus piedras, tu madera y tu polvo en medio de las aguas.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Haré que cese el ruido de tus cantos. Ya no se oirá el sonido de tus arpas.
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].’
Te convertiré en una roca desnuda. Serás un lugar para extender las redes. Ya no serás edificada; porque yo, Yahvé, lo he dicho’, dice el Señor Yahvé.
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.
“El Señor Yahvé dice a Tiro: ‘¿No se estremecerán las islas al ruido de tu caída, cuando giman los heridos, cuando se haga la matanza dentro 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.
Entonces todos los príncipes del mar bajarán de sus tronos, se despojarán de sus túnicas y se despojarán de sus ropas bordadas. Se vestirán de temblor. Se sentarán en el suelo, y temblarán a cada momento, y se asombrarán 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.
Se lamentarán por ti y te dirán, “Cómo te destruyen, que estaban habitadas por hombres de mar, la renombrada ciudad, que era fuerte en el mar, ella y sus habitantes, que causó su terror a todos los que vivían allí”.
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.”’
Ahora las islas temblarán en el día de tu caída. Sí, las islas que están en el mar estarán consternadas por tu partida’.
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 el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Cuando te convierta en una ciudad desolada, como las ciudades que no están habitadas, cuando haga subir el abismo sobre ti y te cubran las grandes aguas,
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.
entonces te haré descender con los que descienden a la fosa, al pueblo de antaño, y te haré habitar en las partes bajas de la tierra, en los lugares desolados de antaño, con los que descienden a la fosa, para que no seas habitada; y pondré la gloria en la tierra de los vivos.
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].’”
Te convertiré en un terror, y ya no tendrás ningún ser. Aunque se te busque, nunca más se te encontrará’, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
