< Ezekiel 26 >

1 In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
第十一年十一月初一日,耶和華的話臨到我說:
2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’
「人子啊,因泰爾向耶路撒冷說:『阿哈,那作眾民之門的已經破壞,向我開放;她既變為荒場,我必豐盛。』
3 therefore the Lord GOD says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
所以,主耶和華如此說:泰爾啊,我必與你為敵,使許多國民上來攻擊你,如同海使波浪湧上來一樣。
4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
他們必破壞泰爾的牆垣,拆毀她的城樓。我也要刮淨塵土,使她成為淨光的磐石。
5 She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.
她必在海中作曬網的地方,也必成為列國的擄物。這是主耶和華說的。
6 Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
屬泰爾城邑的居民必被刀劍殺滅,他們就知道我是耶和華。」
7 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.
主耶和華如此說:「我必使諸王之王的巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領馬匹車輛、馬兵、軍隊,和許多人民從北方來攻擊你泰爾。
8 He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
他必用刀劍殺滅屬你城邑的居民,也必造臺築壘舉盾牌攻擊你。
9 He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
他必安設撞城錘攻破你的牆垣,用鐵器拆毀你的城樓。
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open.
因他的馬匹眾多,塵土揚起遮蔽你。他進入你的城門,好像人進入已有破口之城。那時,你的牆垣必因騎馬的和戰車、輜重車的響聲震動。
11 He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.
他的馬蹄必踐踏你一切的街道;他必用刀殺戮你的居民。你堅固的柱子必倒在地上。
12 They will make a plunder of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters.
人必以你的財寶為擄物,以你的貨財為掠物,破壞你的牆垣,拆毀你華美的房屋,將你的石頭、木頭、塵土都拋在水中。
13 I will cause the noise of your songs to cease. The sound of your harps won’t be heard any more.
我必使你唱歌的聲音止息;人也不再聽見你彈琴的聲音。
14 I will make you a bare rock. You will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more; for I the LORD have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
我必使你成為淨光的磐石,作曬網的地方。你不得再被建造,因為這是主耶和華說的。」
15 “The Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Won’t the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you?
主耶和華對泰爾如此說:「在你中間行殺戮,受傷之人唉哼的時候,因你傾倒的響聲,海島豈不都震動嗎?
16 Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
那時靠海的君王必都下位,除去朝服,脫下花衣,披上戰兢,坐在地上,時刻發抖,為你驚駭。
17 They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, “How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
他們必為你作起哀歌說: 你這有名之城, 素為航海之人居住, 在海上為最堅固的; 平日你和居民使一切住在那裏的人無不驚恐; 現在何竟毀滅了?
18 Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’
如今在你這傾覆的日子, 海島都必戰兢; 海中的群島見你歸於無有就都驚惶。」
19 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you,
主耶和華如此說:「泰爾啊,我使你變為荒涼,如無人居住的城邑;又使深水漫過你,大水淹沒你。
20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.
那時,我要叫你下入陰府,與古時的人一同在地的深處、久已荒涼之地居住,使你不再有居民。我也要在活人之地顯榮耀。
21 I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord GOD.”
我必叫你令人驚恐,不再存留於世;人雖尋找你,卻永尋不見。這是主耶和華說的。」
