< 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,
El año 11, el día primero del mes, aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
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, por cuanto Tiro dijo con respecto a Jerusalén: ¡Qué bueno! ¡La puerta de los pueblos está quebrada! ¡Se me abrió! Yo seré llena y ella quedará desolada.
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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Aquí estoy contra ti, oh Tiro! Como el mar levanta sus olas, Yo levanto contra ti muchas naciones.
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. Derribarán sus torres, barreré de ella hasta su polvo. La dejaré como una roca lisa.
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 tendedero de redes en medio del mar, porque Yo hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. Será despojo 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 morirán a espada. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente traigo del norte contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes, con caballos, carruajes, caballería y una multitud de guerreros.
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 espada a tus hijas en el campo. Armará contra ti torres de asedio. Levantará contra ti empalizadas de defensa, y alzará su escudo 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.
Lanzará contra tus muros vigas largas y pesadas muy reforzadas. Con hachas destruirá 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.
A causa de numerosos caballos te cubrirá el polvo de ellos. Con el estruendo de su caballería y de las ruedas de sus carruajes, tus muros temblarán cuando entre por tus puertas como se entra por portillos en una ciudad destruida.
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).
Pisoteará todas tus calles con los cascos de sus caballos. Matará a filo de espada tu pueblo. Tus fuertes columnas 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.
Tomarán tus riquezas como despojo, saquearán tus mercaderías, destruirán tus muros y demolerán tus casas lujosas. Tus piedras, tu madera y tus escombros los lanzarán a las aguas.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
Silenciaré el sonido de tus canciones. No se oirá más 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 dejaré como una roca lisa y serás tendedero de redes. Nunca más serás edificada, porque Yo Yavé hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice a Tiro: ¿No se estremecerán las costas ante el estruendo de tu caída, con el gemido de tus heridos y la matanza que ocurra en 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.
Todos los oficiales marinos bajarán de sus asientos y se despojarán sus mantos. Se quitarán sus ropas bordadas y se vestirán de terror. Se estremecerán consternados al sentarse en el suelo, asombrados a 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.
Levantarán una lamentación sobre ti: ¡Cómo pereciste, oh ciudad poblada por gente del mar! Ella con sus habitantes infundían terror en todos los que la rodeaban.
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 costas tiemblan por el día de tu caída. Las costas marinas se aterran al ver tu fin.
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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Cuando Yo te convierta en ciudad asolada, como las ciudades que no son habitadas, lanzaré el océano sobre ti. Las muchas aguas te cubrirán.
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.
Te hundiré con los que descienden al sepulcro para que nunca más seas poblada, y daré gloria en la tierra de los vivientes.
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 terror y dejarás de ser. Serás buscada. Nunca más serás hallada, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
