Ezekiel 27
1 Yahweh said this to me:
E la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
2 “You human, sing a funeral song about Tyre.
“E tu, figliuol d’uomo, pronunzia una lamentazione su Tiro,
3 [The city of] is located [on an island] at the edge of the sea, and their merchants (traded/bought and sold goods) with people-groups [who live] along many seacoasts. This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say [that you should tell them]: ‘You [people of] Tyre said that your [city] was very beautiful.
e di’ a Tiro che sta agli approdi del mare, che porta le mercanzie de’ popoli a molte isole: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: O Tiro, tu dici: Io sono di una perfetta bellezza.
4 You controlled what was bought and sold by people who lived along the sea. Those who built your [city] caused it to become very beautiful.
Il tuo dominio è nel cuore dei mari; i tuoi edificatori t’hanno fatto di una bellezza perfetta;
5 You were like [SIM] a huge ship that was built from the from pine/cypress [trees] on Hermon [Mountain]. Then they took cedar [wood] from Lebanon to make a mast for the ship.
hanno costruito di cipresso di Senir tutte le tue pareti; hanno preso dei cedri del Libano per fare l’alberatura delle tue navi;
6 They carved your oars from oak trees from the Bashan [region]. They made the deck from cypress/pine wood from Cyprus [island], and they covered [the decks] with ivory.
han fatto i tuoi remi di quercia di Bashan, han fatto i ponti del tuo naviglio d’avorio incastonato in larice, portato dalle isole di Kittim.
7 The sails for the ship were made from fine embroidered linen from Egypt, and those sails were like flags that people could see [far away]. For shade they [hung pieces of] blue and purple cloth [brought] from [people living on] Cyprus [island].
Il lino fino d’Egitto lavorato in ricami, t’ha servito per le tue vele e per le tue bandiere; la porpora e lo scarlatto delle isole d’Elisha formano i tuoi padiglioni.
8 Men from Sidon and Arvad [cities] pulled the oars; the men who steered the boat were skilled men from Tyre.
Gli abitanti di Sidon e d’Arvad sono i tuoi rematori; i tuoi savi, o Tiro, sono in mezzo a te; son dessi i tuoi piloti.
9 Experienced craftsmen from Byblos [city on the coast] (did the caulking/filled the spaces between the planks in the sides) of the ship. Sailors from many countries came in their ships to buy and sell goods there.
Tu hai in mezzo a te gli anziani di Ghebel e i suoi savi, a calafatare le tue falle; in te son tutte le navi del mare coi loro marinai, per far lo scambio delle tue mercanzie.
10 Men from [as far away as] Persia, Lydia, and Libya were [soldiers] in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on [the walls of] your [city], and that caused people to admire your city.
Dei Persiani, dei Lidi, dei Libi servono nel tuo esercito; son uomini di guerra, che sospendono in mezzo a te lo scudo e l’elmo; sono la tua magnificenza.
11 Men from Arvad and Helech [cities were watchmen] on the walls [of your city]; men from Gammad [town] were in your towers. They [also] hung their shields on your walls; they also caused your [city] to be very beautiful.
I figliuoli d’Arvad e il tuo esercito guarniscono d’ogn’intorno le tue mura, e degli uomini prodi stanno nelle tue torri; essi sospendono le loro targhe tutt’intorno alle tue mura; essi rendon perfetta la tua bellezza.
12 Because of the many things that you had [to trade], men from Tarshish [in Spain] sent merchants who brought silver, iron, tin, and lead to trade for things that you had.

Quelli della casa di Togarma pagano le tue mercanzie con cavalli da tiro, con cavalli da corsa, e con muli.
15 Merchants came to you from Rhodes [island]. [People from] nations along the coast traded with you; they brought (ivory/elephant tusks) and [valuable black] ebony [wood] to trade for things that you had.
I figliuoli di Dedan trafficano teco; il commercio di molte isole passa per le tue mani; ti pagano con denti d’avorio e con ebano.

17 Men from Judah and Israel brought wheat from Minnith [city in Ammon], and figs, honey, [olive] oil, and ointment to trade for your things.

23 [Men came from] Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad [in Mesopotamia] with their goods.
Haran, Canné e Eden, i mercati di Sceba, d’Assiria, di Kilmad, trafficano teco;
24 They brought pretty things to trade: Blue cloth, embroidered cloth, and rugs of [many] colors that were [rolled up and] tied with ropes.
trafficano teco in oggetti di lusso, in mantelli di porpora, in ricami, in casse di stoffe preziose legate con corde, e fatte di cedro.
25 Cargo ships from Tarshish carried [all] those things that you traded; and the warehouses on your island were full of all those things.’”
Le navi di Tarsis son la tua flotta per il tuo commercio. Così ti sei riempita, e ti sei grandemente arricchita nel cuore dei mari.
26 “‘The men who row your boats took [the ships full of] cargo out on the stormy seas. But the strong east wind wrecked those cargo boats.
I tuoi rematori t’han menata nelle grandi acque; il vento d’oriente s’infrange nel cuore de’ mari.
27 Everything in the boats (was lost/sank to the bottom of the sea)— all the valuable cargo [DOU] and [many of] [HYP] the sailors and ship pilots, the ship workers and merchants and soldiers. On the day that the ships were wrecked, many of those on the ships sank to the bottom of the sea.
Le tue ricchezze, i tuoi mercati, la tua mercanzia, i tuoi marinai, i tuoi piloti, i tuoi calafati, i tuoi negozianti, tutta la tua gente di guerra ch’è in te, e tutta la moltitudine ch’è in mezzo a te, cadranno nel cuore de’ mari, il giorno della tua rovina.
28 [The people in cities along] the coast trembled when they heard your ship pilots cry out.
Alle grida de’ tuoi piloti, i lidi tremeranno;
29 All the men who remained who pulled the oars left the ships; the sailors and pilots [go to the shore and] stand on the beach.
e tutti quelli che maneggiano il remo, e i marinai e tutti i piloti del mare scenderanno dalle loro navi, e si terranno sulla terra ferma.
30 They cry aloud because of [what has happened to] your [wealth], and they weep bitterly. They throw dirt on their heads and roll around in ashes.
E faranno sentir la lor voce su di te; grideranno amaramente, si getteranno della polvere sul capo, si rotoleranno nella cenere.
31 They shave their heads to show that they are very sad because of [what has happened to] you, and they put on rough sackcloth. They weep for you very bitterly and mourn for you.
A causa di te si raderanno il capo, si cingeranno di sacchi; per te piangeranno con amarezza d’animo, con cordoglio amaro;
32 While they wail and mourn because of what has happened to you, they sing this sad funeral song: “There was certainly never [RHQ] a city like Tyre that now is silent, covered by the waves of the sea.”
e, nella loro angoscia, pronunzieranno su di te una lamentazione, e si lamenteranno così riguardo a te: Chi fu mai come Tiro, come questa città, ora muta in mezzo al mare?
33 The goods that your merchants traded were things that pleased the people of many countries. Kings in very distant places became rich from the wealth that they obtained from trading with you.
Quando i tuoi prodotti uscivano dai mari, tu saziavi gran numero di popoli; con l’abbondanza delle ricchezze e del tuo traffico, arricchivi i re della terra.
34 But now your city is like a ship [MET] that is wrecked in the sea, and everything that was in it is broken, at the bottom of the sea. All of your cargo and your sailors have sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the ships.
Quando sei stata infranta dai mari, nelle profondità delle acque, la tua mercanzia e tutta la moltitudine ch’era in mezzo di te, sono cadute.
35 All the people who live along the seacoast are appalled/horrified because of what has happened to you. Their kings are very horrified, [causing] their faces to be twisted [as they watch].
Tutti gli abitanti delle isole sono sbigottiti a causa di te; i loro re son presi da orribile paura, il loro aspetto è sconvolto.
36 The merchants of the [other] nations shake their heads [because it is difficult for them to believe what has happened]; your city has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.’”
I mercanti fra i popoli fischiano su di te; sei diventata uno spavento, e non esisterai mai più!”
