< Ezekiel 26 >

1 It happened in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Et factum est in undecimo anno, prima mensis, factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 "Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste':
Fili hominis, pro eo quod dixit Tyrus de Ierusalem: Euge confractæ sunt portæ populorum, conversa est ad me: implebor, deserta est.
3 therefore thus says Jehovah, 'Look, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.'
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego super te Tyre, et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas, sicut ascendit mare fluctuans.
4 They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
Et dissipabunt muros Tyri, et destruent turres eius: et radam pulverem eius de ea, et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram.
5 She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it," says Jehovah; "and she shall become a spoil to the nations.
Siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus: et erit in direptionem Gentibus.
6 Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Filiæ quoque eius, quæ sunt in agro, gladio interficientur: et scient quia ego Dominus.
7 "For thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many people.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego adducam ad Tyrum Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis ab Aquilone regem regum, cum equis, et curribus, et equitibus, et cœtu, populoque magno.
8 He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
Filias tuas, quæ sunt in agro, gladio interficiet: et circumdabit te munitionibus, et comportabit aggerem in gyro: et elevabit contra te clypeum.
9 He shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
Et vineas, et arietes temperabit in muros tuos, et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.
Inundatione equorum eius operiet te pulvis eorum: a sonitu equitum, et rotarum, et curruum movebuntur muri tui, cum ingressus fuerit portas tuas quasi per introitum urbis dissipatæ.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets; he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall go down to the ground.
Ungulis equorum suorum conculcabit omnes plateas tuas: populum tuum gladio cædet, et statuæ tuæ nobiles in terram corruent.
12 They shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.
Vastabunt opes tuas, diripient negotiationes tuas: et destruent muros tuos, et domos tuas præclaras subvertent: et lapides tuos, et ligna tua, et pulverem tuum in medio aquarum ponent.
13 I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard.
Et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum, et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius.
14 I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more: for I have spoken it,' says Jehovah.
Et dabo te in limpidissimam petram, siccatio sagenarum eris, nec ædificaberis ultra: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
15 "Thus says Jehovah to Tyre: 'Shall not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Tyro: Numquid non a sonitu ruinæ tuæ, et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint, in medio tui commovebuntur insulæ?
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
Et descendent de sedibus suis omnes principes maris: et auferent exuvias suas, et vestimenta sua varia abiicient, et induentur stupore: in terra sedebunt, et attoniti super repentino casu tuo admirabuntur.
17 They shall take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, "How you are destroyed, you have vanished from the seas, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there.
Et assumentes super te lamentum, dicent tibi: Quomodo peristi, quæ habitas in mari, urbs inclyta, quæ fuisti fortis in mari cum habitatoribus tuis, quos formidabant universi?
18 Now shall the islands tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the islands that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your departure."'
Nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui: et turbabuntur insulæ in mari, eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te.
19 "For thus says Jehovah: 'When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep on you, and the great waters shall cover you;
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Cum dedero te urbem desolatam sicut civitates, quæ non habitantur: et adduxero super te abyssum, et operuerint te aquæ multæ:
20 then will I bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you to 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:
Et detraxero te cum his, qui descendunt in lacum ad populum sempiternum et collocavero te in terra novissima sicut solitudines veteres cum his, qui deducuntur in lacum, ut non habiteris: porro cum dedero gloriam in terra viventium,
21 I will make you a terror, and you shall no more have any being; though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,' says Jehovah."
in nihilum redigam te, et non eris, et requisita non invenieris ultra in sempiternum, dicit Dominus Deus.
