Ezekiela 26
1 Ie am-baloham-bola’ i taom-paha-folo-raik’ambiy, te niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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 O ana’ondatio, Kanao nanao ty hoe ty Tsore ty am’ Ierosalaime: Hike! rotsake, i ni-lalambei’ o kilakila’ ndatioy; fa midañadaña mb’amako: ho vontsy ty ama’e iraho henaneo, ie fa nikoahañe,
“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 aa le hoe t’Iehovà Talè; Inay te atreatrèko, ry Tsore, vaho hampanameako azo ty fifeheañe maro manahake ty ampitroare’ i riakey o onja’eo.
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 Ho demohe’ iareo ty kijoli’ i Tsore naho hampikoromahe’ iareo o fitalakesañ’ abo’eo; mbore ho haoreko ama’e ty debo’e vaho hampanahafeko ami’ty tarehen-damilamy.
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 Ho fandafihañe harato añivo’ i riakey, vaho ho fañaoha’ o kilakila‘ndatio amy te Izaho ty nitaroñe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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 Ho zamanem-pibara o anak’ ampela’e an-tetekeo le ho fohi’ iareo te Izaho Iehovà.
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 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè; Oniño te hampivotraheko amy Tsore t’i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, ty mpanjaka’ o mpanjaka avaratse añeo, reketse soavala naho sarete, naho mpiningi-tsoavala, naho o lian-dahin-defo’eo, vaho i valobohòkey.
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 Ho zamanem-pibara o anak’ ampela’o an-kivokeo; naho handranjia’e rafi-panameañe, naho hampitoabora’e tamboho vaho hañonjona’e fikalañe.
[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 Hampitroara’e lamasinañ’ aly amo kijoli’eo, vaho hampikoromahe’e am-pekoñe o fitalakesañ’ abo’eo.
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 Ty debo’ i fitozatozan-tsoavala’ey ty handembeke azo, hiezeñezeñe o kijoli’oo ami’ty fikoraha’ o mpiningi-tsoavalao, naho amo larò’eo, naho amo sareteo, amy fimoaha’e amo lalam-bei’oo manahake ty fiziliha’ ondaty amo heban-kijolin-drova’ rotsakeo.
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 Hampitrobohe’e an-tombon-tsoavala ze hene lalan-damo’ iareo; ho fonga zamane’e am-pibara ondati’oo vaho songa hideboñe an-tane o samposampon-kaozara’oo.
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 Ho kamere’ iereo o vara’oo le fonga hikopà’ iareo o kilanka’ areoo; hampiantoe’ iareo o kijoli’oo, vaho harotsake o anjomba’ areo sarotseo; vaho halafi’ iareo am-po’ i ranoy ao o vato naho boda naho debo’oo.
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 Hajiheko ty feon-tsabo’o; vaho le lia’e tsy ho janjiñeñe ka ty fivola’ o marovani’oo.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Hanoeko hambañe ami’ty lamilamy miloeloe, ho fandafihañe harato; toe tsy haoreñe ka, amy te Izaho Iehovà ty nivolañe, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè amy Tsore: Toe hampitroetroe o tokonoseo ty figaragadebo’o, ie mikaikaike o nifereo, ie henek’ añivo’o ao i fizamanañey.
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 Ie amy zay songa hizotso amo fiambesa’eo o roandria’ i riakeio naho hambine’ iareo o sarimbo’ iareoo, naho hafaha’ iareo o saro’e soa vinahotseo, hisikiñe fititititihañe; hitozòke an-tane eo hitolom-pihondrahondràñe vaho ho daba ty ama’o!
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 Le hañonjom-bekom-pandalàñe ama’o iereo, ami’ty hoe: Akore ty firotsaha’o, Ry nimoneñam-piandriakeo? Ty rova team-bintañe, naozatse amy riakey, ie naho o mpimone’eo, ze nampirevendreveñe o mpitobok’ ama’ao iabio.
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 Aa le hanginikinik’ amy andro fideboña’oy o tokonoseo, hiriatsandry ami’ty hamongora’o, o tokonose an-driak’ añeo.
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 Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hanoeko rova bangiñe irehe, manahake o rova mangoakoakeo; hampionjoneko hisaroñe azo ty tsikeokeoke; vaho rano maro ty handipots’ azo.
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 Ie hampizotsoeko mindre amo mizotso mb’an-kiborio ao, hitraok’ am’ondaty taoloo, naho hadoko am-pigadoñan-tsikeokeok’ ao, manahake o tanan-taolo haehaeo, miharo amo migodañe mb’an-donakeo, soa tsy ho amam-pimoneñe ka irehe te hatoloko engeñe i tanen-kaveloñey.
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 Hanoeko fangebakebahan-drehe, le tsy ho eo in-tsasa, ndra te paiaeñe tsy ho oniñe ka, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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].’”
