Ezekiel 26
1 Iti maika-sangapulo ket maysa a tawen, iti umuna nga aldaw ti bulan, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
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,
2 “Anak ti tao, gapu ta imbaga ti Tiro a maibusor iti Jerusalem, 'Nadadaelen dagiti pagserkan dagiti tattao! Naglukaten kaniak dagiti ruanganna; mapnoakto bayat a nadadael isuna!'
“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!’
3 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, 'Ita ngarud! Bumusurak kenka Tiro, ken mangbangonak iti adu a nasion a maibusor kenka a kasla iti panangpadakkel ti baybay iti dalluyonna!
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.
4 Dadaelendanto dagiti pader ti Tiro ken rebbaenda dagiti torrena. Ikkatekto dagiti tapokna ket aramidek isuna a kas iti bilag a bato.
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.
5 Agbalinto isuna a lugar a pagpamagaan kadagiti iket iti tengnga ti baybay, agsipud ta imbagak daytoy—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—ket agbalinto isuna a banag a samsamen dagiti nasion!
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.
6 Mapapatayto dagiti annakna a babbai nga adda kadagiti nadumaduma a lugar babaen iti kampilan ket maammoandanto a siak ni Yahweh!
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].’
7 Ta kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Dumngegka! Manipud iti daya, iyegko ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia a maibusor iti Tiro, ti ari dagiti ari nga addaan kadagiti kabalio, karuahe, ken gumugubat nga agsaksakay kadagiti kabalio! Dakkel a bunggoy dagiti tattao!
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.
8 Papatayennanto dagiti annakmo a babbai kadagiti nadumaduma a lugar babaen iti kampilan ken mangaramidto pay iti trensera a pangdadaelda iti pader. Mangaramidto isuna iti torre ken napuskol a bakud a pangraut kenka ken ingatoda dagiti kalasag a maibusor kenka!
[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].
9 Ipuestonanto ti ar-aramatenda a pangrebba kadagiti padermo, ken rakrakento dagiti remientana dagiti torrem!
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.
10 Gaburannakanto iti tapok a maparnuay dagiti adu a kabalio! Aggunggonto dagiti padermo iti dalagudog dagiti kabalio ken dagiti pilid dagiti karuahe inton sumrek isuna kadagiti ruangam bayat a madaddadael dagitoy!
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.
11 Ipayatpayatnanto dagiti kalsadam babaen kadagiti saka dagiti kabalio; papatayennanto dagiti tattaom babaen iti kampilan, ket marbanto dagiti natitibker nga adigim a batbato.
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).
12 Iti kastoy a wagas, samsamendanto ti pigsam ken dagiti tagilakom! Rebbaendanto dagiti padermo ken dagiti agkakapintas a balaymo agingga a dagiti batbatom, tarikayom ken tapokmo ket tumpaw iti tengnga ti danum.
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.
13 Ta pasardengekto ti ringgor dagiti kantam, ket saanton a mangngeg ti uni dagiti liram!
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Ta aramidenkanto a kasla bilag a bato; agbalinkanto a lugar a pagpamagaan kadagiti iket. Saankanton a pulos a maibangon manen, ta siak a ni Yahweh ti nangibaga iti daytoy! —kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh!'
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].’
15 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh iti Tiro, 'Saan kadi nga aggunggon dagiti isla gapu iti uni ti pannakareggaaymo, ken gapu iti panagas-asug dagiti nasugatan inton adda iti nagtengngaam ti nakabutbuteng a panangpapatay?
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.
16 Ta bumabanto dagiti amin a pangulo ti baybay manipud kadagiti tronoda ket ipaigidda dagiti kagayda ket ussobenda dagiti agkakapintas a kawesda! Agkawesdanto iti buteng! Agtugawda iti daga ket agtultuloy nga agkintayegda ken agbutengda maipapan iti napasamak kenka!
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.
17 Dung-awandakanto ken kunaenda kenka, anian ti pannakadadaelmo, sika a nagnanaedan dagiti aglaylayag! Ti nalatak a siudad a nakabilbileg idi—awanen manipud iti baybay! Ket dagiti agnanaed kenkuana ket naminsan a pinagbutengda dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti asidegda.
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.
18 Ita, agkintayegen dagiti igid ti baybay iti aldaw ti pannakaparmekmo! Mabutbuteng dagiti isla iti baybay, gapu ta nataykan.
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.”’
19 Ta kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Inton pagbalinenka a langalang a siudad, a kas kadagiti dadduma a siudad nga awan ti agnanaed kadakuada, inton pangatoek dagiti baybay maibusor kenka, ken inton lapunusennaka ti dakkel a danum,
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,
20 ket ipababaka kadagiti tattao a nagkauna, a kas kadagiti dadduma a napan kadagiti abut; ta pagnaedenka iti kababaan a paset ti daga a kas kadagiti nadadael iti nabayagen a tiempo. Gapu iti daytoy ket saankanto nga agsubli iti daga a pagnanaedan dagiti tattao.
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.
21 Ipalak-amko kenka ti didigra, ket mapukawkanto. Ket birukendakanto ngem saandakanto a pulos a mabirukan pay—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh!”'
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].’”
