Ezekiel 27
1 Yahweh said this to me:
Het woord van Jahweh werd tot mij gericht.
2 “You human, sing a funeral song about Tyre.
Mensenkind, ge moet over Tyrus een klaagzang aanheffen,
3 [The city of] is located [on an island] at the edge of the sea, and their merchants (traded/bought and sold goods) with people-groups [who live] along many seacoasts. This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say [that you should tell them]: ‘You [people of] Tyre said that your [city] was very beautiful.
en zeggen tot Tyrus, dat de toegangen der zee beheerst, en handel drijft met de volken op vele kusten: Zo spreekt Jahweh, de Heer! Tyrus, ge dacht bij u zelf: Ik ben het toppunt van schoonheid!
4 You controlled what was bought and sold by people who lived along the sea. Those who built your [city] caused it to become very beautiful.
Op de hoge zee lag uw domein, Uw bouwers voerden uw schoonheid ten top!
5 You were like [SIM] a huge ship that was built from the from pine/cypress [trees] on Hermon [Mountain]. Then they took cedar [wood] from Lebanon to make a mast for the ship.
Van cypressen uit Senir Hebben ze al uw ribben getimmerd; Ze kozen een Libanon-ceder, Om een mast op u te bouwen.
6 They carved your oars from oak trees from the Bashan [region]. They made the deck from cypress/pine wood from Cyprus [island], and they covered [the decks] with ivory.
Van eiken uit Basjan Maakten ze uw riemen; Uw kajuitwand van ivoor; in pijnhout gezet, Van de eilanden der Kittiërs.
7 The sails for the ship were made from fine embroidered linen from Egypt, and those sails were like flags that people could see [far away]. For shade they [hung pieces of] blue and purple cloth [brought] from [people living on] Cyprus [island].
Bont-gestikte damast uit Egypte Was uw zeildoek, en diende u als wimpel; Blauw en purper uit de eilanden van Elisja Kleurden uw tentdak.
8 Men from Sidon and Arvad [cities] pulled the oars; the men who steered the boat were skilled men from Tyre.
Burgers van Sidon en Arwad waren uw roeiers, De wijzen van Simirra uw stuurlui;
9 Experienced craftsmen from Byblos [city on the coast] (did the caulking/filled the spaces between the planks in the sides) of the ship. Sailors from many countries came in their ships to buy and sell goods there.
De oudsten van Gebal met haar wijzen Stopten uw naden. Alle schepen der zee met hun matrozen waren bij u, om uw waren te ruilen:
10 Men from [as far away as] Persia, Lydia, and Libya were [soldiers] in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on [the walls of] your [city], and that caused people to admire your city.
Perzen, Lydiërs en de mannen van Poet Stonden als krijgers op uw wallen; Schild en helm hingen ze aan u op, En verleenden u aanzien.
11 Men from Arvad and Helech [cities were watchmen] on the walls [of your city]; men from Gammad [town] were in your towers. They [also] hung their shields on your walls; they also caused your [city] to be very beautiful.
De zonen van Arwad en Chalcis stonden op uw muren, Op uw torens de mannen van Gamaäd; Hun schilden hingen ze op rond uw muren, Zij voerden uw schoonheid ten top.
12 Because of the many things that you had [to trade], men from Tarshish [in Spain] sent merchants who brought silver, iron, tin, and lead to trade for things that you had.
Tarsjisj was afnemer van uw grote voorraden; het leverde zilver, ijzer, tin en lood op uw markt.
13 [Merchants from] Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and things made from bronze to trade for things that you had.
Jawan, Toebal en Mésjek dreven handel met u: slaven en koperwaren gaven ze u in ruil.
14 [Men from] Beth-Togarmah [in Armenia] brought work horses, war horses, and mules to trade for things that you had.
Uit Bet-Togarma werden trekpaarden, rijpaarden en muildieren op uw markt aangevoerd.
15 Merchants came to you from Rhodes [island]. [People from] nations along the coast traded with you; they brought (ivory/elephant tusks) and [valuable black] ebony [wood] to trade for things that you had.
De zonen van Dedan dreven handel met u, vele eilanden sloten met u een handelsverdrag: olifantstanden en ebbenhout gaven ze u in betaling.
16 Because you had very many things [to trade], people from Syria brought to you valuable turquoise stones, purple [cloth], embroidered [cloth], fine linen [cloth], and [jewelry made from] coral and rubies to trade for your things.
Aram was afnemer van uw vele produkten: karbonkel, purper, borduursels, byssus, koralen en robijnen leverde het op uw markt.
17 Men from Judah and Israel brought wheat from Minnith [city in Ammon], and figs, honey, [olive] oil, and ointment to trade for your things.
Juda en het land Israël dreven handel met u: Minnit-tarwe, was, honing, olie en balsem leverden ze in ruil.
18 Because you had very many things [to trade], men from Damascus brought wine from Helbon [town] and white wool from the Zahar [area] to trade for many things that you had.
Damascus was afnemer van uw vele produkten en uw grote voorraden: van wijn uit Chelbon en wol uit Sáchar voorzag het uw markt.
19 Greek men from the Uzal [area] brought things made of iron, and cassia [spice], and [fragrant] calamus [seeds] to trade for things that you had.
Uit Oezal kwam smeedijzer, specerijen en riet in ruil.
20 [Merchants came from] Dedan [in southern Edom] bringing saddle blankets to trade for things that you had.
Dedan handelde met u in kostbare zadeldekken.
21 Men from Arabia and all the rulers of the Kedar [region] sent merchants to trade lambs and rams and male goats for things that you had.
Arabië en de vorsten van Kedar sloten met u een handelsverdrag: in bokken, rammen en ezelinnen handelden ze met u.
22 Merchants from Sheba and Raamah [in Arabia] brought many kinds of very good spices and jewels and gold to exchange for things that you had.
Sjeba en Rama dreven handel met u: van de allerbeste balsem, allerlei kostbare stenen en goud voorzagen ze uw markt.
23 [Men came from] Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad [in Mesopotamia] with their goods.
Charan, Kanne en Eden, de kooplieden van Sjeba, Assjoer en heel Medië handelden met u:
24 They brought pretty things to trade: Blue cloth, embroidered cloth, and rugs of [many] colors that were [rolled up and] tied with ropes.
zij verhandelden prachtgewaden en violette en bontgestikte mantels; ook in kleurige tapijten van geknoopte en duurzame draden handelden zij met u.
25 Cargo ships from Tarshish carried [all] those things that you traded; and the warehouses on your island were full of all those things.’”
Tarsjisj-schepen vervoerden uw waren. Ge waart bevracht en zwaar beladen Midden op de oceaan.
26 “‘The men who row your boats took [the ships full of] cargo out on the stormy seas. But the strong east wind wrecked those cargo boats.
Naar diepe wateren voerden u Zij, die u roeiden. Maar een oostenwind heeft u gekraakt Midden op de oceaan;
27 Everything in the boats (was lost/sank to the bottom of the sea)— all the valuable cargo [DOU] and [many of] [HYP] the sailors and ship pilots, the ship workers and merchants and soldiers. On the day that the ships were wrecked, many of those on the ships sank to the bottom of the sea.
Met uw schatten, uw waren, uw lading, Uw matrozen en stuurlui. Met uw breeuwers, uw handelaars En al uw soldaten, Met heel uw bemanning, Die gij aan boord hadt. Ze zinken weg in de diepten der zee Op de dag van uw ondergang;
28 [The people in cities along] the coast trembled when they heard your ship pilots cry out.
Van de noodkreten van uw stuurlui Gaat de zeespiegel beven.
29 All the men who remained who pulled the oars left the ships; the sailors and pilots [go to the shore and] stand on the beach.
Ze verlaten hun schepen Alwie de riemen hanteren; Alle matrozen en stuurlui Stappen aan wal.
30 They cry aloud because of [what has happened to] your [wealth], and they weep bitterly. They throw dirt on their heads and roll around in ashes.
Ze heffen een gejammer over u aan, En klagen verdrietig; Ze strooien as op hun hoofden, Wentelen zich in het stof.
31 They shave their heads to show that they are very sad because of [what has happened to] you, and they put on rough sackcloth. They weep for you very bitterly and mourn for you.
Om u scheren ze zich kaal, Doen ze rouwkleren aan; Om u wenen ze met hartgrondige droefheid, Met bittere rouw.
32 While they wail and mourn because of what has happened to you, they sing this sad funeral song: “There was certainly never [RHQ] a city like Tyre that now is silent, covered by the waves of the sea.”
Dan heffen ze op u hun klaaglied aan, En zingen een treurzang om u: Wie was aan Tyrus gelijk Midden op de oceaan?
33 The goods that your merchants traded were things that pleased the people of many countries. Kings in very distant places became rich from the wealth that they obtained from trading with you.
Als uw waren de zeeën verlieten, Hebt ge talloze volken verzadigd; Met uw eindeloze schatten en waren Hebt ge de vorsten der aarde verrijkt.
34 But now your city is like a ship [MET] that is wrecked in the sea, and everything that was in it is broken, at the bottom of the sea. All of your cargo and your sailors have sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the ships.
Nu ligt ge gekraakt, van de oceaan verdwenen, Op de bodem der zee! Uw waren en heel uw bemanning Zijn, binnen uw wanden, gezonken.
35 All the people who live along the seacoast are appalled/horrified because of what has happened to you. Their kings are very horrified, [causing] their faces to be twisted [as they watch].
Alle bewoners der eilanden Staan star van ontzetting over u; Van hun koningen rijzen de haren ten berge, Valt het aangezicht in.
36 The merchants of the [other] nations shake their heads [because it is difficult for them to believe what has happened]; your city has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.’”
De handeldrijvende volken Fluiten u uit; Ge zijt een spookbeeld geworden, Verdwenen voor eeuwig!
