< Ezequiel 26 >
1 En el año undécimo, en el primero del mes, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, there has been a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
2 “Hijo de hombre, porque Tiro ha dicho contra Jerusalén: “¡Ah, está rota! La que era la puerta de los pueblos ha sido devuelta a mí. Ahora que ha sido destruida, me repondré’;
Because that Tyre has said of Jerusalem: Aha, she has been broken, The doors of the peoples, She has turned around to me, I am filled—she has been laid waste,
3 por lo tanto, el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo estoy contra ti, Tiro, y haré que suban contra ti muchas naciones, como el mar hace subir sus olas.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyre, And have caused many nations to come up against you, As the sea causes its billows to come up.
4 Destruirán los muros de Tiro y derribarán sus torres. También rasparé su polvo y la convertiré en una roca desnuda.
And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a rock.
5 Será un lugar para tender las redes en medio del mar; porque yo lo he dicho — dice el Señor Yahvé. Se convertirá en un botín para las naciones.
She is a spreading place of nets in the midst of the sea, For I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And she has been for a spoil to nations.
6 Sus hijas que están en el campo serán asesinadas a espada. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé’.
And her daughters who [are] in the field, are slain by sword, And they have known that I [am] YHWH,”
7 “Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo traigo sobre Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes, desde el norte, con caballos, con carros, con jinetes, y un ejército con mucha gente.
For thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Tyre, From the north—a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.
8 Matará a tus hijas en el campo con la espada. Hará contra ti fortalezas, levantará contra ti un túmulo y alzará contra ti el escudo.
He slays your daughters in the field by sword, And he has made a fort against you, And has poured out a mound against you, And has raised a buckler against you.
9 Pondrá sus arietes contra tus muros, y con sus hachas derribará tus torres.
And he places a battering-ram before him against your walls, And he breaks your towers with his weapons.
10 Por la abundancia de sus caballos, su polvo te cubrirá. Tus muros temblarán por el ruido de la caballería, de los carros y de las carrozas, cuando él entre por tus puertas, como se entra en una ciudad abierta.
From the abundance of his horses their dust cover you, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Your walls shake, in his coming into your gates, As the coming into a city that has been broken-up.
11 Con los cascos de sus caballos pisoteará todas tus calles. Matará a tu pueblo con la espada. Las columnas de tu fortaleza caerán a tierra.
He treads all your out-places with [the] hooves of his horses, He slays your people by sword, And the pillars of your strength come down to the earth.
12 Saquearán tus riquezas y harán presa de tus mercancías. Derribarán tus murallas y destruirán tus casas agradables. Pondrán tus piedras, tu madera y tu polvo en medio de las aguas.
And they have spoiled your wealth, And they have plundered your merchandise, And they have thrown down your walls, And they break down your desirable houses, And your stones, and your wood, and your dust, They place in the midst of the waters.
13 Haré que cese el ruido de tus cantos. Ya no se oirá el sonido de tus arpas.
And I have caused the noise of your songs to cease, And the voice of your harps is heard no more.
14 Te convertiré en una roca desnuda. Serás un lugar para extender las redes. Ya no serás edificada; porque yo, Yahvé, lo he dicho’, dice el Señor Yahvé.
And I have given you up for a clear place of a rock, You are a spreading-place of nets, You are not built up anymore, For I, YHWH, have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
15 “El Señor Yahvé dice a Tiro: ‘¿No se estremecerán las islas al ruido de tu caída, cuando giman los heridos, cuando se haga la matanza dentro de ti?
Thus said Lord YHWH to Tyre: “Do not—from the noise of your fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in your midst—The islands shake?
16 Entonces todos los príncipes del mar bajarán de sus tronos, se despojarán de sus túnicas y se despojarán de sus ropas bordadas. Se vestirán de temblor. Se sentarán en el suelo, y temblarán a cada momento, y se asombrarán de ti.
And all princes of the sea have come down from off their thrones, And they have turned their robes aside, And strip off their embroidered garments, They put on trembling, They sit on the earth, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at you,
17 Se lamentarán por ti y te dirán, “Cómo te destruyen, que estaban habitadas por hombres de mar, la renombrada ciudad, que era fuerte en el mar, ella y sus habitantes, que causó su terror a todos los que vivían allí”.
And have lifted up a lamentation for you, And said to you: How you have perished, That are inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
18 Ahora las islas temblarán en el día de tu caída. Sí, las islas que están en el mar estarán consternadas por tu partida’.
Now the islands tremble [on the] day of your fall; The islands that [are] in the sea have been troubled at your outgoing.”
19 “Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Cuando te convierta en una ciudad desolada, como las ciudades que no están habitadas, cuando haga subir el abismo sobre ti y te cubran las grandes aguas,
For thus said Lord YHWH: “In My making you a city dried up, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up the deep against you, Then the great waters have covered you.
20 entonces te haré descender con los que descienden a la fosa, al pueblo de antaño, y te haré habitar en las partes bajas de la tierra, en los lugares desolados de antaño, con los que descienden a la fosa, para que no seas habitada; y pondré la gloria en la tierra de los vivos.
And I have caused you to go down, With those going down to the pit, To the people of old, And I have caused you to dwell In the lower parts of the earth—in ancient ruins, With those going down to the pit, So that you are not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.
21 Te convertiré en un terror, y ya no tendrás ningún ser. Aunque se te busque, nunca más se te encontrará’, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
I make you a terror, and you are not, And you are sought, and are not found anymore—for all time,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
