Hesekiel 26
1 Och det begaf sig i ellofte årena, på första dagen i ( första ) månadenom, skedde Herrans ord till mig, och sade:
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 Du menniskobarn, derföre att Tyrus säger om Jerusalem: Hej, de folks portar äro sönderbrutne; hon måste draga in till mig, jag måste herberga den förstörda;
“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 Derföre säger Herren Herren alltså: Si, jag vill till dig, du Tyrus, och skall låta många Hedningar utkomma öfver dig, lika som hafvet upplyfter sig med sina böljor.
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 De skola förderfva murarna i Tyro, och afbryta hans torn; ja, jag skall ock bortsopa stoftet derut, och göra ena bara klippo af honom;
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 Och ett skär i hafvena, der man uppå utsträcker fiskagarn; ty jag hafver det talat, säger Herren Herren; och han skall varda Hedningomen till rof;
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 Och hans döttrar, som i markene ligga, skola genom svärd dräpna varda, och skola förnimma att jag är Herren.
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 Ty så säger Herren Herren: Si, jag skall låta komma öfver Tyro NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, nordanefter, den en Konung är öfver alla Konungar, med hästar, vagnar, resenärar, och med en stor hop folk.
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 Han skall dräpa med svärd dina döttrar, som i markene ligga; men emot dig skall han bygga bålverk, och göra en torfvall, och upphäfva sköldar emot dig.
[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 Han skall med bockar omkullstöta dina murar, och med sin vapen nederrifva din torn.
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 Stoftet af hans många hästar skall betäcka dig; så skola ock dine murar bäfva af dönen af hans hästar, vagnar och resenärar, när han indrager genom dina portar, såsom man plägar indraga uti den stad, som nederrifven är.
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 Han skall med sina hästars fötter förtrampa alla dina gator; ditt folk skall han dräpa med svärd, och rifva dina starka stodar neder till jordena.
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 De skola röfva ditt gods bort, och sköfla din handel; dina murar skola de afbryta, och rifva din sköna hus omkull, och skola kasta dina stenar, trä och stoft, i vattnet.
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 Alltså skall jag göra en ända uppå dins sångs ljud, att man intet mer höra skall klanget af dina harpor.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Och jag skall göra ena bara klippo af dig, och ett skär, der man fiskagarn uppå, utsträcker, så att du skall der öde ligga; ty jag är Herren, den detta talar, säger Herren Herren.
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 Detta säger Herren Herren emot Tyrus: Hvad gäller, att öarna skola bäfva, när du så grufveliga förfaller, och dine sargade sucka, hvilke uti dig skola dräpne varda.
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 Alle Förstar vid hafvet skola stiga ned af deras säte, och lägga sina kjortlar ifrå sig, och draga af sig sin stickada kläder och skola gå i sorgekläder, och sitta på jordene, och skola förskräckas och häpne varda öfver ditt hastiga fall.
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 De skola beklaga sig öfver dig, och säga om dig: Ack! huru äst du så platt öde vorden, du namnkunnige stad, du som vid hafvet lågst, och så mägtig vast i hafvena, samt med dina inbyggare, att hela landet måste frukta för dig.
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 Ack! huru gifva sig öarna öfver ditt fall, ja, öarna i hafvena förskräcka sig för dine ofärd.
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 Så säger Herren Herren; Jag skall göra dig till en öde stad, lika som andra städer der ingen uti bor, och låta komma en stor flod öfver dig, att stor vatten skola öfvertäcka dig.
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 Och jag skall störta dig neder till dem som fara uti kulona, till de döda, och skall störta dig neder under jordena, och göra dig lika som ett evigt öde, med dem som uti kulona fara; på det att ingen skall bo uti dig, och du icke mer så pråla skall ibland de lefvande.
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 Ty hasteliga skall jag göra en ända med dig, att du icke mer skall vara till: så att, när man frågar efter dig, skall då ingen mer kunna finna dig, till evig tid, säger Herren Herren.
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].’”
