Ezekiel 26

vayehi be'ashte-esreh shanah be'ekhad lakhodesh hayah devar-Adonai elay lemor

In the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam ya'an asher-amerah tsor al-yerushalai͏m he'akh nishberah daltot ha'ammim nasebbah elay immale'ah hokhoravah

O mortal, because Tyre gloated over Jerusalem, “Aha! The gateway of the peoples is broken, it has become mine; I shall be filled, now that it is laid in ruins”—

lakhen koh amar adonay Elohim hinni alayikh tsor veha'aleti alayikh goyim rabbim keha'alot hayyam legallayw

assuredly, thus said the Sovereign GOD: I am going to deal with you, O Tyre! I will hurl many nations against you, As the sea hurls its waves.

veshikhatu khomot tsor veharesu migdaleha vesikheti afarah mimmennah venatatti otah litskhiakh sala

They shall destroy the walls of Tyre And demolish her towers; And I will scrape her soil off her And leave her a naked rock.

mishtakh kharamim tihyeh betokh hayyam ki ani dibbarti ne'um adonay Elohim vehayetah levaz laggoyim

She shall be in the heart of the sea A place for drying nets; For I have spoken it —declares the Sovereign GOD. She shall become spoil for the nations,

uvenoteha asher bassadeh bakherev teharagnah veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

And her daughter-towns in the country Shall be put to the sword. And they shall know that I am GOD.

ki khoh amar adonay Elohim hinni mevi el-tsor nevukhadretsar melekh-bavel mitsafon melekh melakhim besus uverekhev uvefarashim veqahal ve'am-rav

For thus said the Sovereign GOD: I will bring from the north, against Tyre, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, a king of kings, with horses, chariots, and riders—a great mass of troops.

benotayikh bassadeh bakherev yaharog venatan alayikh dayeq veshafakh alayikh solelah veheqim alayikh tsinnah

Your daughter-towns in the country He shall put to the sword; He shall erect towers against you, And cast up mounds against you, And raise [a wall of] bucklers against you.

umekhi qovollo yitten bekhomotayikh umigdelotayikh yittots bekharvotayw

He shall turn the force of his battering rams Against your walls And smash your towers with his axes.

mishifat susayw yekhassekh avaqam miqqol parash vegalgal varekhev tirashnah khomotayikh bevo'o bisharayikh kimvo'e ir mevuqqa'ah

From the cloud raised by his horses Dust shall cover you; From the clatter of riders And wheels and chariots, Your walls shall shake— When he enters your gates As those who enter a breached city.

befarsot susayw yirmos et-kol-khutsotayikh ammekh bakherev yaharog umatsevot uzzekh la'arets tered

With the hoofs of his steeds He shall trample all your streets. He shall put your people to the sword, And your mighty pillars shall crash to the ground.

veshalelu khelekh uvazezu rekhullatekh veharesu khomotayikh uvatte khemdatekh yittotsu va'avanayikh ve'etsayikh va'afarekh betokh mayim yasimu

They shall plunder your wealth And loot your merchandise. They shall raze your walls And tear down your splendid houses, And they shall cast into the water Your stones and timber and soil.

vehishbatti hamon shirayikh veqol kinnorayikh lo yishama od

I will put an end to the murmur of your songs, And the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.

unetattikh litskhiakh sela mishtakh kharamim tihyeh lo tibbaneh od ki ani Adonai dibbarti ne'um adonay Elohim

I will make you a naked rock, You shall be a place for drying nets; You shall never be rebuilt. For I, GOD, have spoken —declares the Sovereign GOD.

koh amar adonay Elohim letsor halo miqqol mappaltekh be'enoq khalal behareg hereg betokhekh yirashu ha'iyyim

Thus said the Sovereign GOD to Tyre: The coastlands shall quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan, when slaughter is rife within you.

veyaredu me'al kisotam kol nesi'e hayyam vehesiru et-me'ilehem ve'et-bigde riqmatam yifshotu kharadot yilbashu al-ha'arets yeshevu vekharedu lirga'im veshamemu alayikh

All the rulers of the sea shall descend from their thrones; they shall remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling, and shall sit on the ground; they shall tremble every moment, and they shall be aghast at you.

venase'u alayikh qinah ve'ameru lakh ekh avadt noshevet miyyammim ha'ir hahullalah asher hayetah khazaqah vayyam hi veyosheveha asher-natenu khittitam lekhol-yosheveha

And they shall intone a dirge over you, and they shall say to you: How you have perished, you who were peopled from the seas, O renowned city! Mighty on the sea were she and her inhabitants, Who cast their terror on all its inhabitants.

attah yekhredu ha'iyyin yom mappaltekh venivhalu ha'iyyim asher-bayyam mitsetekh

Now shall the coastlands tremble On the day of your downfall, And the coastlands by the sea Be terrified at your end.

ki khoh amar adonay Elohim betitti otakh ir nekherevet ke'arim asher lo-noshavu beha'alot alayikh et-tehom vekhissukh hammayim harabbim

For thus said the Sovereign GOD: When I make you a ruined city, like cities empty of inhabitants; when I bring the deep over you, and its mighty waters cover you,

vehoradtikh et-yorede vor el-am olam vehoshavtikh be'erets takhtiyyot kokhoravot me'olam et-yorede vor lema'an lo teshevi venatatti tsevi be'erets khayyim

then I will bring you down, with those who go down to the Pit, to the people of old. I will install you in the netherworld, with those that go down to the Pit, like the ruins of old, so that you shall not be inhabited and shall not radiate splendor in the land of the living.

ballahot ettenekh ve'enekh utevuqshi velo-timmatse'i od le'olam ne'um adonay Elohim

I will make you a horror, and you shall cease to be; you shall be sought, but shall never be found again—declares the Sovereign GOD.
