Ezequiel 26
1 En el año undécimo, el primer día del mes, vino a mí la palabra del Señor, que decía:
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 Hijo de hombre, porque Tiro ha dicho contra Jerusalén: Ajá, la que era la puerta de los pueblos se abrió, ahora yo me supliré; ella es entregada a ellos; la que estaba llena, ahora está asolada.
“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 Por esto ha dicho el Señor: Mira, estoy contra ti, oh Tiro, y enviaré una serie de naciones contra ti como cuando el mar envía sus olas.
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 Y destruirán los muros de Tiro y destruirán sus torres, y quitaré de ella su polvo, y la convertiré en una roca descubierta.
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 Ella será un lugar para el estiramiento de las redes en medio del mar; porque lo dije, dice el Señor, y sus bienes serán saqueados por las naciones.
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 Y a sus hijas en el campo le serán puestas a la espada, y sabrán que yo soy el Señor.
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 Porque esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Mira, enviaré desde el norte a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes, contra Tiro, con caballos y carros de guerra, con un ejército y un gran número de personas.
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 Pondrá a la espada a tus hijas en campo abierto; él hará muros fuertes contra ti y levantará rampas contra ti, armándose para la guerra contra ti.
[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 Pondrá sus arietes contra tus muros, y tus torres serán derribadas por sus hachas.
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 Debido al número de sus caballos, estarás cubierta con su polvo; tus paredes temblarán ante el ruido de los jinetes y de las ruedas y de los carros de guerra, cuando él atraviese tus puertas, como en un pueblo que se hace una brecha.
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 Tus calles serán selladas por los pies de sus caballos; él pondrá a tu gente a la espada y enviará las columnas de tu fortaleza a la tierra.
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 Tomarán por la fuerza todas sus riquezas y se marcharán con los bienes con los que ustedes comerciaban; destruirán sus muros y todas las casas de lujo serán entregadas a la destrucción. Pondrán sus piedras y tu madera y escombros en lo profundo del mar.
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 Pondré fin al ruido de tus canciones, y el sonido de tus instrumentos de música desaparecerá para siempre.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Te haré una roca descubierta, serás un tendedero de las redes; no volverás a edificarte; porque yo, el Señor Dios, lo he dicho, dice el Señor.
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 Esto es lo que el Señor Dios le ha dicho a Tiro: ¿No se estremecerán las costas al oír tu caída, cuando los heridos den gritos de dolor, cuando los hombres sean atacados por la espada?
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 Entonces todos los gobernantes del mar bajarán de sus altos asientos, y se quitarán sus ropas y se quitarán la ropa de costura. Se pondrán ropa de dolor y se sentarán en la tierra. temblando de miedo cada minuto y venciéndote espantados.
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 Y te dedicarán una canción de luto, y te dirán: “¿Qué destrucción ha venido contigo? ¿Cómo desapareciste del mar, la ciudad conocida, que era fuerte en el mar, ella y sus habitantes?” ¡Su gente, haciendo que el miedo de ellos venga sobre todo los vecinos!
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 Ahora las costas temblarán en el día de tu caída; y todas las islas en el mar serán vencidas con miedo a tu partida.
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 Porque esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor Dios: Te haré un pueblo desolado, como los pueblos que están sin habitantes; Cuando te haga llegar a lo profundo, cubriéndote con grandes aguas.
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 Entonces te haré descender con los que descienden al inframundo, a la gente del pasado, haciendo que tu lugar de vida esté en las partes más profundas de la tierra, en lugares sin vida, con aquellos que desciende a lo profundo, para que no haya nadie viviendo en ti; y no tendrás gloria en la tierra de los vivos.
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 Te haré una calamidad, y terminarás, aunque seas buscada, no te encontrarán, dice el Señor Dios.
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].’”
