Ezekiel 27
1 Yahweh said this to me:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 “You human, sing a funeral song about Tyre.
Hianao, ry zanak’ olona, manaova hira fahalahelovana ny amin’ i Tyro,
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.
ka ataovy aminy hoe: He, ry ilay monina amin’ ny vava-ranomasina, Mpandranto ho an’ ny firenena ho any ny moron-dranomasina maro samy hafa; Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: He, ry Tyro, ianao efa nanao hoe: Izaho dia tena tsara tarehy!
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.
Ao amin’ ny ranomasina ny taninao, efa tanteraky ny mpandrafitra anao ny hatsaran-tarehinao.
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.
Hazo kypreso avy any Senira no nanaovany ny lampihazonao; Sedera avy any Libanona no nalainy hatao andrin-tsambonao.
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.
Oka avy any Basana no nanaovany ny fivoinao; hazo bokso avy any amin’ ny moron-dranomasin’ i Kitima no nataony fipetrahan’ ny mpivoinao sady nasiany parike ivory.
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].
Rongony madinika samy hafa soratra avy any Egypta no natao lainao mba ho faneva ho anao; Lamba manga sy volomparasy avy any amin’ ny moron-dranomasin’ i Elisa no eloelonao.
8 Men from Sidon and Arvad [cities] pulled the oars; the men who steered the boat were skilled men from Tyre.
Ny mponina any Sidona sy Arvada no mpivoinao; Ny olon-kendrinao, ry Tyro, no tao aminao, ka ireo no mpitondra sambonao.
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.
Ny zokiolon’ i Gebala sy izay hendry tany no tao aminao ho mpanentsin-tsambonao; ny sambo rehetra teny amin’ ny ranomasina mbamin’ ny matilony dia tonga tao aminao hanakalo ny rantonao.
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.
Ny avy any Persia sy ny Lydiana ary ny Libyana dia isan’ ny miaramila mpiadinao; Nanantona ampinga sy fiarovan-doha teny aminao ireo ka nahatsara tarehy anao.
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.
Ny terak’ i Arvada sy ny miaramilanao no teny ambonin’ ny mandanao manodidina, ary lehilahy mahery no tao amin’ ny tilikambonao; Ny ampingany dia nahantony teny amin’ ny mandanao manodidina; Ireo no nahatanteraka ny hatsaran-tarehinao.
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.
Tarsisy no mpandranto nankany aminao noho ny haben’ ny harena samy hafa rehetra; Volafotsy sy vy sy vifotsy ary firaka na nentiny natakalo ny entanao.
13 [Merchants from] Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and things made from bronze to trade for things that you had.
Javana sy Tobala ary Maseka no mpandranto nankany aminao, ka olona sy fanaka varahina no natakalony ny varotrao.
14 [Men from] Beth-Togarmah [in Armenia] brought work horses, war horses, and mules to trade for things that you had.
Ny terak’ i Togarma nitondra soavaly sy soavaly fitaingina ary ampondra natakalo ny entanao.
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.
Ny terak’ i Dedana no mpandranto nankany aminao; Ny avy amin’ ny moron-dranomasina maro no tonga hivarotra tao aminao ka nitondra ivory sy hazomainty natakalo ny entanao.
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.
Syria no mpandranto nankany aminao noho ny habetsahan’ ny tao-zavatrao, ka karbonkolo sy lamba volomparasy sy tenona samy hafa soratra sy rongony fotsy madinika sy voahangy ary robina No nentiny natakalo ny entanao.
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.
Joda sy ny tanin’ ny Isiraely no mpandranto nankany aminao, ka vary tritika avy tany Minita sy zava-mamy sy tantely sy diloilo ary balsama no natakalony ny varotrao.
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.
Damaskosy no mpandranto nankany aminao noho ny habetsahan’ ny taozavatrao, dia ny haben’ ny harenao rehetra, ka nitondra divay avy any Helbona sy volon’ ondry fotsy izy.
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.
Vedana koa sy Javana avy any Ozala dia nitondra vy voatefy natakalo ny entanao; Kasia sy veromanitra no natakalony ny varotrao.
20 [Merchants came from] Dedan [in southern Edom] bringing saddle blankets to trade for things that you had.
Dedana no mpandranto nankany aminao, nitondra lamba fanao lamban-tsoavaly.
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.
Arabia sy ireo andriandahin’ i Kedara rehetra no nandranto tany aminao, ka zanak’ ondry sy ondrilahy ary osilahy no nentiny natao varotra tao aminao.
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.
Ny mpandranto avy any Sheba sy Rama no mpandranto nankany aminao, Ka zava-manitra tsara indrindra sy vato soa samy hafa karazana ary volamena no nentiny natakalo ny entanao.
23 [Men came from] Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad [in Mesopotamia] with their goods.
Harana sy Kane ary Edena sy mpandranto avy any Sheba sy Asyria ary Kilmada no mpandranto nankany aminao.
24 They brought pretty things to trade: Blue cloth, embroidered cloth, and rugs of [many] colors that were [rolled up and] tied with ropes.
Ireo no mpandranto nankany aminao nitondra ny fitafiana marevaka rehetra, dia kapôty manga sy samy hafa soratra ary vata sedera mifehy misy fitafiana soa no natakalony ny varotrao.
25 Cargo ships from Tarshish carried [all] those things that you traded; and the warehouses on your island were full of all those things.’”
Ny sambon’ i Tarsisy no mpitondra ny entanao, dia feno sady be voninahitra ianao teo amin’ ny ranomasina.
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.
Nentin’ ny mpivoinao teny amin’ ny rano be ianao, dia nahavaky anao tao amin’ ny ranomasina ny rivotra avy any atsinanana.
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.
Ny harenao sy ny vidin’ entanao, ny varotrao, ny matilonao sy ny mpitondra sambonao, ny mpanentsin-tsambonao sy ny mpividy ny entanao ary ny miaramilanao rehetra izay tao aminao mbamin’ ny olona betsaka tafangona tao aminao dia nilentika tao amin’ ny ranomasina tamin’ ny andro nandravana anao.
28 [The people in cities along] the coast trembled when they heard your ship pilots cry out.
Noho ny fidradradradran’ ny mpitondra sambonao dia mihorohoro ny tany manodidina.
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.
Ary samy midìna miala amin’ ny sambony ny mpivoy rehetra sy ny matilo ary ny mpitondra sambo rehetra eny an-dranomasina ka mijanòna eny an-tanety;
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.
Ary manandratra ny feony noho ny nanjo anao izy ka midradradradra mafy sady manopy vovoka hiraraka amin’ ny lohany ary mihosinkosin-davenona;
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.
Ary mibory loha avokoa izy noho ny aminao sy misikìna lamba fisaonana ary mitomany anao amin’ ny fangidiam-panahy izy, dia fisaonana mafy.
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.”
Ary raha midradradradra izy, dia manao hira fahalahelovana ny aminao ka mitomany anao hoe: Iza moa no tahaka an’ i Tyro, dia tahaka ilay rava ao ampovoan’ ny ranomasina?
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.
Raha nivoaka avy amin’ ny ranomasina ny varotrao, dia nahatretrika firenena maro ianao; Tamin’ ny haben’ ny harenao sy ny varotrao dia nampanan-karena ny mpanjakan’ ny tany ianao.
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.
Tamin’ ny andro nandravan’ ny ranomasina anao ho any amin’ ny rano lalina dia niara-nilentika taminao ny varotrao sy ny olona tafangona tao aminao.
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].
Talanjona anao ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny moron-dranomasina, ary raiki-tahotra ny mpanjakany ka dia mivalomainty.
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.’”
Misitrisitra anao ny mpandranto amin’ ny firenena; tonga fampitahorana ianao ary tsy ho ao intsony mandrakizay
