Ezequiel 26

1 El año 11, el día primero del mes, aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And it happened that, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord 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 about Jerusalem: ‘It is Well! The gates of the peoples have been broken! She has been turned toward me. I will be filled. She will be deserted!’

3 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Aquí estoy contra ti, oh Tiro! Como el mar levanta sus olas, Yo levanto contra ti muchas naciones.

because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to rise up against you, just as the waves of the sea rise up.

4 Destruirán los muros de Tiro. Derribarán sus torres, barreré de ella hasta su polvo. La dejaré como una roca lisa.

And they will break apart the walls of Tyre, and they will destroy its towers. And I will scrape her dust from her, and I will make her into the barest 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 drying place for nets from the midst of the sea. For I have spoken, says the Lord God. And she will be a spoil for the Gentiles.

6 Sus hijas que están en el campo morirán a espada. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

Likewise, her daughters who are in the field will be slain by the sword. And they shall 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 thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead into Tyre: Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, a king among kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and a great 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.

Your daughters who are in the field, he will kill with the sword. And he will surround you with fortifications, and he will put together a rampart on all sides. And he will lift up a shield against you.

9 Lanzará contra tus muros vigas largas y pesadas muy reforzadas. Con hachas destruirá tus torres.

And he will combine moveable shelters and battering rams before your walls, and he will destroy your towers with his armaments.

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.

He will cover you with the inundation of his horses and with their dust. Your walls will shake at the sound of horsemen and wheels and chariots, when they will have entered your gates, as if through the entrance of a city that has been 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.

With the hoofs of his horses, he will trample all your streets. He will cut down your people with the sword, and your noble statues will fall 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 lay waste to your wealth. They will despoil your businesses. And they will tear down your walls and overturn your eminent houses. And they will put your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of the waters.

13 Silenciaré el sonido de tus canciones. No se oirá más el sonido de tus arpas.

And I will cause the multitude of your songs to cease. And the sound of your stringed instruments will no longer be heard.

14 Te dejaré como una roca lisa y serás tendedero de redes. Nunca más serás edificada, porque Yo Yavé hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

And I will make you like the barest rock; you will be a drying place for nets. And you will no longer be built up. For I have spoken, 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?

Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: “Will not the islands shake at the sound of your ruin and at the groans of your slain, when they will have been cut down in your midst?

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.

And all the leaders of the sea will descend from their thrones. And they will cast aside their outer garments and their colorful clothing, and they will be clothed in stupor. They will sit on the ground, and they will wonder with astonishment at your sudden downfall.

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.

And taking up a lamentation over you, they will say to you: ‘How could you have perished, you who live in the sea, the famous city that was strong in the sea, with your inhabitants, of whom the whole world was in dread?’

18 Ahora, las costas tiemblan por el día de tu caída. Las costas marinas se aterran al ver tu fin.

Now the ships will be stupefied, in the day of your terror. And the islands of the sea will be disturbed, because no one goes out from you.

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 thus says the Lord God: When I will have made you a desolate city, like the cities that are uninhabited, and when I will have led the abyss over you, and many waters will have covered 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.

and when I will have dragged you down with those who descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and when I will have assembled you in the lowest parts of the earth, like the desolate places of antiquity, with those who have been brought down into the pit, so that you will be uninhabited, and moreover, when I will have given glory to 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 reduce you to nothing, and you shall not be, and if you are sought, you will no longer be found, in perpetuity, says the Lord God.”
