< Ezequiel 26 >
1 El año 11, el día primero del mes, aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Hijo de hombre, por cuanto Tiro dijo con respecto a Jerusalén: ¡Qué bueno! ¡La puerta de los pueblos está quebrada! ¡Se me abrió! Yo seré llena y ella quedará desolada.
“Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’
3 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Aquí estoy contra ti, oh Tiro! Como el mar levanta sus olas, Yo levanto contra ti muchas naciones.
therefore the Lord GOD says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
4 Destruirán los muros de Tiro. Derribarán sus torres, barreré de ella hasta su polvo. La dejaré como una roca lisa.
They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
5 Será tendedero de redes en medio del mar, porque Yo hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. Será despojo para las naciones.
She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.
6 Sus hijas que están en el campo morirán a espada. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
7 Porque ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente traigo del norte contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes, con caballos, carruajes, caballería y una multitud de guerreros.
“For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.
8 Matará a espada a tus hijas en el campo. Armará contra ti torres de asedio. Levantará contra ti empalizadas de defensa, y alzará su escudo contra ti.
He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
9 Lanzará contra tus muros vigas largas y pesadas muy reforzadas. Con hachas destruirá tus torres.
He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
10 A causa de numerosos caballos te cubrirá el polvo de ellos. Con el estruendo de su caballería y de las ruedas de sus carruajes, tus muros temblarán cuando entre por tus puertas como se entra por portillos en una ciudad destruida.
By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open.
11 Pisoteará todas tus calles con los cascos de sus caballos. Matará a filo de espada tu pueblo. Tus fuertes columnas caerán a tierra.
He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.
12 Tomarán tus riquezas como despojo, saquearán tus mercaderías, destruirán tus muros y demolerán tus casas lujosas. Tus piedras, tu madera y tus escombros los lanzarán a las aguas.
They will make a plunder of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters.
13 Silenciaré el sonido de tus canciones. No se oirá más el sonido de tus arpas.
I will cause the noise of your songs to cease. The sound of your harps will not be heard any more.
14 Te dejaré como una roca lisa y serás tendedero de redes. Nunca más serás edificada, porque Yo Yavé hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
I will make you a bare rock. You will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more; for I the LORD have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
15 ʼAdonay Yavé dice a Tiro: ¿No se estremecerán las costas ante el estruendo de tu caída, con el gemido de tus heridos y la matanza que ocurra en ti?
“The Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you?
16 Todos los oficiales marinos bajarán de sus asientos y se despojarán sus mantos. Se quitarán sus ropas bordadas y se vestirán de terror. Se estremecerán consternados al sentarse en el suelo, asombrados a causa de ti.
Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
17 Levantarán una lamentación sobre ti: ¡Cómo pereciste, oh ciudad poblada por gente del mar! Ella con sus habitantes infundían terror en todos los que la rodeaban.
They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, “How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
18 Ahora, las costas tiemblan por el día de tu caída. Las costas marinas se aterran al ver tu fin.
Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’
19 Porque ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Cuando Yo te convierta en ciudad asolada, como las ciudades que no son habitadas, lanzaré el océano sobre ti. Las muchas aguas te cubrirán.
“For the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you,
20 Te hundiré con los que descienden al sepulcro para que nunca más seas poblada, y daré gloria en la tierra de los vivientes.
then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 Te convertiré en terror y dejarás de ser. Serás buscada. Nunca más serás hallada, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord GOD.”
