Ezekiel 26

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,

Y aconteció en el undécimo año, en el primero del mes, que fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:

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!’

Hijo del hombre, por cuanto Tiro dijo sobre Jerusalem: Hala, quebrantada es la que era puerta de los pueblos: a mí se convirtió: seré llena, ella desierta:

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.

Por tanto así dijo el Señor Jehová: He aquí que yo contra ti, o! Tiro; y haré subir contra ti muchas naciones, como la mar hace subir sus ondas.

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.

Y disiparán los muros de Tiro, y destruirán sus torres, y sacaré de ella su polvo, y ponerla he en la altura de la piedra.

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.

Tendedero de redes será en medio de la mar; porque yo he hablado, dijo el Señor Jehová; y será saqueada de las naciones.

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].’

Y sus hijas que están en el campo, serán muertas a cuchillo; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

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.

Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: He aquí que yo traigo contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, de la parte del aquilón, rey de reyes, con caballos, y carros, y caballeros, y compañías, y mucho pueblo.

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].

Tus hijas que están en el campo, matará a cuchillo, y pondrá contra ti ingenios, y fundará contra ti baluarte, y afirmará contra ti escudo.

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.

Y pondrá contra ella trabucos, contra tus muros, y tus torres destruirá con sus martillos.

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.

Con la multitud de sus caballos te cubrirá el polvo de ellos: con el estruendo de los caballeros, y de las ruedas, y de los carros temblarán tus muros, cuando entrare por tus puertas como por portillos de ciudad destruida.

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).

Con las uñas de sus caballos hollará todas tus calles; a tu pueblo pasará a cuchillo; y las estatuas de tu fortaleza descenderán a tierra.

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.

Y robarán tus riquezas, y saquearán tus mercaderías, y destruirán tus muros; y tus casas preciosas destruirán; y tus piedras, y tu madera, y tu polvo pondrán en medio de las aguas.

13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.

Y haré cesar el estruendo de tus canciones, y el son de tus vihuelas no se oirá más.

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].’

Y te pondré como altura de piedra: tendedero de redes serás, ni nunca más serás edificada; porque yo Jehová he hablado, dijo el Señor Jehová.

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.

Así dijo el Señor Jehová a Tiro: Ciertamente del estruendo de tu caída, cuando gritarán los heridos, cuando la matanza será hecha en medio de ti, las islas temblarán.

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.

Y todos los príncipes de la mar descenderán de sus tronos, y quitarán sus mantos, y desnudarán sus ropas bordadas; vestirse han de espantos, sentarse han sobre la tierra, y espavorecerse han a cada momento, y estarán atónitos sobre ti.

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.

Y levantarán sobre ti endechas, y dirán sobre ti: ¿Cómo pereciste, poblada en las mares, ciudad que fue alabada, que fue fuerte en la mar, ella y sus moradores que ponían su espanto a todos sus moradores?

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.”’

Ahora se espavorecerán las islas el día de tu caída; y espantarse han de tu salida las islas que están en la mar.

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,

Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: Yo te tornaré ciudad asolada, como las ciudades que no se habitan: yo haré subir sobre ti el abismo, y las muchas aguas te cubrirán.

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.

Y te haré descender con los que descienden al sepulcro, con el pueblo del siglo; y te pondré en lo más bajo de la tierra, como los desiertos antiguos, con los que descienden al sepulcro, porque nunca más seas poblada; y yo daré gloria en la tierra de los vivientes.

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].’”

Yo te tornaré en nada, y no serás; y no serás buscada, y nunca más serás hallada, dijo el Señor Jehová.
