Hiezechielis Prophetæ 26

1 et factum est in undecimo anno prima mensis factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 fili hominis pro eo quod dixit Tyrus de Hierusalem euge confractae sunt portae populorum conversa est ad me implebor deserta est

Son of man, because Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples! she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished [now] she is laid waste;

3 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego super te Tyre et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas sicut ascendit mare fluctuans

therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up.

4 et dissipabunt muros Tyri et destruent turres eius et radam pulverem eius de ea et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram

And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. And I will scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.

5 siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris quia ego locutus sum ait Dominus Deus et erit in direptionem gentibus

She shall be [a place] for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah; and she shall become a spoil for the nations.

6 filiae quoque eius quae sunt in agro gladio interficientur et scient quia ego Dominus

And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

7 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adducam ad Tyrum Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis ab aquilone regem regum cum equis et curribus et equitibus et coetu populoque magno

For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring from the north, against Tyre, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, the king of kings, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and an assemblage, and much people.

8 filias tuas quae sunt in agro gladio interficiet et circumdabit te munitionibus et conportabit aggerem in gyro et levabit contra te clypeum

He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field, and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and lift up the target against thee;

9 et vineas et arietes temperabit in muros tuos et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua

and he shall set his engines of attack against thy walls, and with his spikes he shall break down thy towers.

10 inundatione equorum eius operiet te pulvis eorum a sonitu equitum et rotarum et curruum movebuntur muri tui dum ingressus fuerit portas tuas quasi per introitus urbis dissipatae

By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee; thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter through thy gates, as a city is entered into, wherein is made a breach.

11 ungulis equorum suorum conculcabit omnes plateas tuas populum tuum gladio caedet et statuae tuae nobiles in terram corruent

With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people by the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

12 vastabunt opes tuas diripient negotiationes tuas et destruent muros tuos et domos tuas praeclaras subvertent et lapides tuos et ligna tua et pulverem tuum in medio aquarum ponent

And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy wares; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses; and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the waters.

13 et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius

And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

14 et dabo te in limpidissimam petram siccatio sagenarum eris nec aedificaberis ultra quia ego locutus sum dicit Dominus Deus

And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shalt be [a place] for the spreading of nets; thou shalt be built no more: for I Jehovah have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.

15 haec dicit Dominus Deus Tyro numquid non a sonitu ruinae tuae et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint in medio tui commovebuntur insulae

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

16 et descendent de sedibus suis omnes principes maris et auferent exuvias suas et vestimenta sua varia abicient et induentur stupore in terra sedebunt et adtoniti super repentino casu tuo admirabuntur

And all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling, they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble [every] moment, and be astonied because of thee.

17 et adsumentes super te lamentum dicent tibi quomodo peristi quae habitas in mari urbs inclita quae fuisti fortis in mari cum habitatoribus tuis quos formidabant universi

And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How hast thou perished, that wast inhabited from the seas, O renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, — she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all them that dwell therein!

18 nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui et turbabuntur insulae in mari eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te

Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; and the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

19 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus cum dedero te urbem desolatam sicut civitates quae non habitantur et adduxero super te abyssum et operuerint te aquae multae

For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up the deep upon thee, and the great waters cover thee:

20 et detraxero te cum his qui descendunt in lacum ad populum sempiternum et conlocavero te in terra novissima sicut solitudines veteres cum his qui deducuntur in lacum ut non habiteris porro dedero gloriam in terra viventium

then will I bring thee down, with them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and will cause thee to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.

21 in nihilum redigam te et non eris et requisita non invenieris ultra in sempiternum dicit Dominus Deus

And I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no [more]; and thou shalt be sought for, and shalt never be found again, for ever, saith the Lord Jehovah.
