Hiezechielis Prophetæ 26
1 Et factum est in undecimo anno, prima mensis, factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis, pro eo quod dixit Tyrus de Ierusalem: Euge confractae sunt portae populorum, conversa est ad me: implebor, deserta est.
Son of man, because Sor has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is crushed: the nations are destroyed: she is turned to me: she that was full is made desolate:
3 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego super te Tyre, et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas, sicut ascendit mare fluctuans.
therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sor, and I will bring up many nations against thee, as the sea comes up with its waves.
4 Et dissipabunt muros Tyri, et destruent turres eius: et radam pulverem eius de ea, et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram.
And they shall cast down the walls of Sor, and shall cast down thy towers: and I will scrape her dust from off her, and make her a bare rock.
5 Siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus: et erit in direptionem Gentibus.
She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for repairing nets: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord: and it shall be a spoil for the nations.
6 Filiae quoque eius, quae sunt in agro, gladio interficientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
And her daughters [which are] in the field shall be slain with the sword, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam ad Tyrum Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis ab Aquilone regem regum, cum equis, et curribus, et equitibus, et coetu, populoque magno.
For thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring up against thee, O Sor, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon from the north: he is a king of kings, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and a concourse of very many nations.
8 Filias tuas, quae sunt in agro, gladio interficiet: et circumdabit te munitionibus, et comportabit aggerem in gyro: et elevabit contra te clypeum.
He shall slay thy daughters that are in the field with the sword, and shall set a watch against thee, and build forts around thee, and carry a rampart round against thee, and set up warlike works, and array his spears against thee.
9 Et vineas, et arietes temperabit in muros tuos, et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua.
He shall cast down with his swords thy walls and thy towers.
10 Inundatione equorum eius operiet te pulvis eorum: a sonitu equitum, et rotarum, et curruum movebuntur muri tui, cum ingressus fuerit portas tuas quasi per introitum urbis dissipatae.
By reason of thy multitude of his horses their dust shall cover thee, and by reason of the sound of his horsemen and the wheels of his chariots the walls shall be shaken, when he enters into thy gates, as one entering into a city from the plain.
11 Ungulis equorum suorum conculcabit omnes plateas tuas: populum tuum gladio caedet, et statuae tuae nobiles in terram corruent.
With the hoofs of his horses they shall trample all thy streets: he shall slay thy people with the sword, and shall bring down to the ground the support of thy strength.
12 Vastabunt opes tuas, diripient negotiationes tuas: et destruent muros tuos, et domos tuas praeclaras subvertent: et lapides tuos, et ligna tua, et pulverem tuum in medio aquarum ponent.
And he shall prey upon thy power, and plunder thy substance, and shall cast down thy walls, and break down thy pleasant houses: and he shall cast thy stones and thy timber and thy dust into the midst of thy sea.
13 Et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum, et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius.
And he shall destroy the multitude of thy musicians, and the sound of thy psalteries shall be heard no more.
14 Et dabo te in limpidissimam petram, siccatio sagenarum eris, nec aedificaberis ultra: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
And I will make thee a bare rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken [it], saith the Lord.
15 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Tyro: Numquid non a sonitu ruinae tuae, et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint, in medio tui commovebuntur insulae?
For thus saith the Lord God to Sor; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, while the wounded are groaning, while they have drawn a sword in the midst of thee?
16 Et descendent de sedibus suis omnes principes maris: et auferent exuvias suas, et vestimenta sua varia abiicient, et induentur stupore: in terra sedebunt, et attoniti super repentino casu tuo admirabuntur.
And all the princes of the nations of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and shall take off their crowns from their heads, and shall take off their embroidered raiment: they shall be utterly amazed; they shall sit upon the ground, and fear their [own] destruction, and shall groan over thee.
17 Et assumentes super te lamentum, dicent tibi: Quomodo peristi, quae habitas in mari, urbs inclyta, quae fuisti fortis in mari cum habitatoribus tuis, quos formidabant universi?
And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and shall say to thee, How art thou destroyed from out of the sea, the renowned city, that brought her terror upon all her inhabitants.
18 Nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui: et turbabuntur insulae in mari, eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te.
And the isles shall be alarmed at the day of thy fall.
19 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: Cum dedero te urbem desolatam sicut civitates, quae non habitantur: et adduxero super te abyssum, et operuerint te aquae multae:
For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall make the city desolate, as the cities that shall not be inhabited, when I have brought the deep up upon thee,
20 Et detraxero te cum his, qui descendunt in lacum ad populum sempiternum et collocavero te in terra novissima sicut solitudines veteres cum his, qui deducuntur in lacum, ut non habiteris: porro cum dedero gloriam in terra viventium,
and great waters shall cover thee; and I shall bring thee down to them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause thee to dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them that go down to the pit, that thou mayest not be inhabited, nor stand upon the land of life;
21 in nihilum redigam te, et non eris, et requisita non invenieris ultra in sempiternum, dicit Dominus Deus.
I will make thee a destruction, and thou shalt be no more for ever, saith the Lord God.
