حِزْقِيَال 26
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
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,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ صُورَ قَالَتْ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ: هَهْ! قَدِ ٱنْكَسَرَتْ مَصَارِيعُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ إِلَيَّ. أَمْتَلِئُ إِذْ خَرِبَتْ. | ٢ 2 |
“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!’
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ يَاصُورُ فَأُصْعِدُ عَلَيْكِ أُمَمًا كَثِيرَةً كَمَا يُعَلِّي ٱلْبَحْرُ أَمْوَاجَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
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.
| فَيَخْرِبُونَ أَسْوَارَ صُورَ وَيَهْدِمُونَ أَبْرَاجَهَا. وَأَسْحِي تُرَابَهَا عَنْهَا وَأُصَيِّرُهَا ضِحَّ ٱلصَّخْرِ، | ٤ 4 |
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.
| فَتَصِيرُ مَبْسَطًا لِلشِّبَاكِ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا تَكَلَّمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَتَكُونُ غَنِيمَةً لِلْأُمَمِ. | ٥ 5 |
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.
| وَبَنَاتُهَا ٱللَّوَاتِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ تُقْتَلُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٦ 6 |
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].’
| «لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَى صُورَ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَلِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، بِخَيْلٍ وَبِمَرْكَبَاتٍ وَبِفُرْسَانٍ وَجَمَاعَةٍ وَشَعْبٍ كَثِيرٍ، | ٧ 7 |
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.
| فَيَقْتُلُ بَنَاتِكِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَبْنِي عَلَيْكِ مَعَاقِلَ، وَيَبْنِي عَلَيْكِ بُرْجًا، وَيُقِيمُ عَلَيْكِ مِتْرَسَةً، وَيَرْفَعُ عَلَيْكِ تُرْسًا، | ٨ 8 |
[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].
| وَيَجْعَلُ مَجَانِقَ عَلَى أَسْوَارِكِ، وَيَهْدِمُ أَبْرَاجَكِ بِأَدَوَاتِ حَرْبِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
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.
| وَلِكَثْرَةِ خَيْلِهِ يُغَطِّيكِ غُبَارُهَا. مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْفُرْسَانِ وَٱلْعَجَلَاتِ وَٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ تَتَزَلْزَلُ أَسْوَارُكِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ أَبْوَابَكِ، كَمَا تُدْخَلُ مَدِينَةٌ مَثْغُورَةٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
| بِحَوَافِرِ خَيْلِهِ يَدُوسُ كُلَّ شَوَارِعِكِ. يَقْتُلُ شَعْبَكِ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فَتَسْقُطُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْصَابُ عِزِّكِ. | ١١ 11 |
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).
| وَيَنْهَبُونَ ثَرْوَتَكِ، وَيَغْنَمُونَ تِجَارَتَكِ، وَيَهُدُّونَ أَسْوَارَكِ، وَيَهْدِمُونَ بُيُوتَكِ ٱلْبَهِيجَةَ، وَيَضَعُونَ حِجَارَتَكِ وَخَشَبَكِ وَتُرَابَكِ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
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.
| وَأُبَطِّلُ قَوْلَ أَغَانِيكِ، وَصَوْتُ أَعْوَادِكِ لَنْ يُسْمَعَ بَعْدُ. | ١٣ 13 |
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
| وَأُصَيِّرُكِ كَضِحِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ، فَتَكُونِينَ مَبْسَطًا لِلشِّبَاكِ. لَا تُبْنَيْنَ بَعْدُ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٤ 14 |
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].’
| «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِصُورَ: أَمَا تَتَزَلْزَلُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ عِنْدَ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِكِ، عِنْدَ صُرَاخِ ٱلْجَرْحَى، عِنْدَ وُقُوعِ ٱلْقَتْلِ فِي وَسْطِكِ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
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.
| فَتَنْزِلُ جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْبَحْرِ عَنْ كَرَاسِيِّهِمْ، وَيَخْلَعُونَ جُبَبَهُمْ، وَيَنْزِعُونَ ثِيَابَهُمُ ٱلْمُطَرَّزَةَ. يَلْبِسُونَ رَعْدَاتٍ، وَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَرْتَعِدُونَ كُلَّ لَحْظَةٍ، وَيَتَحَيَّرُونَ مِنْكِ. | ١٦ 16 |
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.
| وَيَرْفَعُونَ عَلَيْكِ مَرْثَاةً وَيَقُولُونَ لَكِ: كَيْفَ بِدْتِ يَا مَعْمُورَةُ مِنَ ٱلْبِحَارِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلشَّهِيرَةُ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ قَوِيَّةً فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ هِيَ وَسُكَّانُهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَوْقَعُوا رُعْبَهُمْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ جِيرَانِهَا؟ | ١٧ 17 |
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.
| اَلْآنَ تَرْتَعِدُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ يَوْمَ سُقُوطِكِ وَتَضْطَرِبُ ٱلْجَزَائِرُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ لِزَوَالِكِ. | ١٨ 18 |
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.”’
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: حِينَ أُصَيِّرُكِ مَدِينَةً خَرِبَةً كَٱلْمُدُنِ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ، حِينَ أُصْعِدُ عَلَيْكِ ٱلْغَمْرَ فَتَغْشَاكِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْكَثِيرَةُ، | ١٩ 19 |
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,
| أُهْبِطُكِ مَعَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ، إِلَى شَعْبِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، وَأُجْلِسُكِ فِي أَسَافِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلْخِرَبِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ مَعَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ، لِتَكُونِي غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ، وَأَجْعَلُ فَخْرًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
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.
| أُصَيِّرُكِ أَهْوَالًا، وَلَا تَكُونِينَ، وَتُطْلَبِينَ فَلَا تُوجَدِينَ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٢١ 21 |
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].’”
