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, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 that Tyrus has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
3 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego super te Tyre, et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas, sicut ascendit mare fluctuans.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes his waves to come up.
4 Et dissipabunt muros Tyri, et destruent turres eius: et radam pulverem eius de ea, et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram.
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
5 Siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus: et erit in direptionem Gentibus.
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to 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 by 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 says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
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 with the sword your daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against you, and cast a mount against you, and lift up the buckler against you.
9 Et vineas, et arietes temperabit in muros tuos, et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua.
And he shall set engines of war against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your 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 the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
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 shall he tread down all your streets: he shall slay your people by the sword, and your strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
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 they shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise: and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses: and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the water.
13 Et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum, et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius.
And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard.
14 Et dabo te in limpidissimam petram, siccatio sagenarum eris, nec aedificaberis ultra: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
And I will make you like the top of a rock: you shall be a place to spread nets upon; you shall be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
15 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Tyro: Numquid non a sonitu ruinae tuae, et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint, in medio tui commovebuntur insulae?
Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
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.
Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at you.
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 you, and say to you, How are you destroyed, that were inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which were strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
18 Nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui: et turbabuntur insulae in mari, eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te.
Now shall the isles tremble in the day of your fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure.
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 says the Lord GOD; When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon you, and great waters shall cover you;
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,
When I shall bring you down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set you in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
21 in nihilum redigam te, et non eris, et requisita non invenieris ultra in sempiternum, dicit Dominus Deus.
I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more: though you be sought for, yet shall you never be found again, says the Lord GOD.
