Hiezechielis Prophetæ 26
1 Et factum est in undecimo anno, prima mensis, factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
So it was in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 Tyre has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gates of the people are broken! She has turned to me; I will be filled up because she is ruined.'
3 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego super te Tyre, et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas, sicut ascendit mare fluctuans.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am against you, Tyre, and I will raise up many nations against you like the sea raises its waves.
4 Et dissipabunt muros Tyri, et destruent turres eius: et radam pulverem eius de ea, et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram.
They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers. I will sweep her dust away and make her like a bare rock.
5 Siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus: et erit in direptionem Gentibus.
She will become a place for nets to dry out in the midst of the sea, since I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and she will become plunder for the nations.
6 Filiae quoque eius, quae sunt in agro, gladio interficientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
Her daughters who are in the fields will be slaughtered by the swords, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'
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 this is what Yahweh says: Behold, from the north I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a great many 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 will kill your daughters in the field. He will set up a siege work and build a ramp against your walls and raise up shields against you.
9 Et vineas, et arietes temperabit in muros tuos, et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua.
He will place his battering rams to hit against your walls, and his tools will tear 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.
His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake with the sound of horsemen, wagons, and chariots. When he enters your gates, he will enter as men come into a city whose walls have been broken down.
11 Ungulis equorum suorum conculcabit omnes plateas tuas: populum tuum gladio caedet, et statuae tuae nobiles in terram corruent.
The hooves of his horses will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword and your mighty stone pillars will fall 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.
They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. Your stones, your timber, and the rubble they will throw into the waters.
13 Et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum, et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius.
I will stop the noise of your songs. The sound of your harps will be heard no more.
14 Et dabo te in limpidissimam petram, siccatio sagenarum eris, nec aedificaberis ultra: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
I will make you a bare rock, you will become a place where nets are spread out to dry. You will never be built again, for I, Lord Yahweh have spoken—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
15 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Tyro: Numquid non a sonitu ruinae tuae, et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint, in medio tui commovebuntur insulae?
The Lord Yahweh says this to Tyre, 'Will not the islands quake with the sound of your downfall, and with the groans of the wounded when the terrible slaughter is in your midst?
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 will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and cast off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling, they will sit on the ground and tremble every moment, and they will be appalled because of 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?
They will lift up a lament for you and say to you, How you, who were inhabited by sailors, have been destroyed. The famous city that was so strong—it is now gone from the sea. The ones living in her once spread a terror about themselves upon everyone who lived near them.
18 Nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui: et turbabuntur insulae in mari, eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te.
Now the coasts tremble on the day of your downfall. The islands in the sea are terrified, because you are no longer in your place.'
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 the Lord Yahweh says this: When I make you a desolate city, like the other cities that are not inhabited, when I raise up the deeps against you, and when the great waters 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,
then I will bring you down to the people of ancient times, like the others who have gone down into the pit; for I will make you live in the lowest realms of the earth as in ruins of ancient times. Because of this you will not come back and stand 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 place disaster on you, and you will be no more forever. Then you will be sought, but you will never be found ever again—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
