Ezekiel 28

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam emor lingid tsor koh-amar adonay Elohim ya'an gavah libbekha vattomer el ani moshav elohim yashavti belev yammim ve'attah adam velo-el vattitten libbekha kelev elohim

O mortal, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Because you have been so haughty and have said, “I am a god; I sit enthroned like a god in the heart of the seas,” whereas you are not a god but a human, though you deemed your mind equal to a god’s—

hinneh khakham attah (mdnl) [middaniyyel] kol-satum lo amamukha

Yes, you are wiser than Daniel; In no hidden matter can anyone Compare to you.

bekhokhmatekha uvitvunatekha asita lekha khayil vatta'as zahav vakhesef be'otserotekha

By your shrewd understanding You have gained riches, And have amassed gold and silver In your treasuries.

berov khokhmatekha birkhullatekha hirbita khelekha vayyigbah levavekha bekhelekha

By your great shrewdness in trade You have increased your wealth, And you have grown haughty Because of your wealth.

lakhen koh amar adonay Elohim ya'an tittekha et-levavekha kelev elohim

Assuredly, thus said the Sovereign GOD: Because you have deemed your mind equal to a god’s,

lakhen hinni mevi alekha zarim aritse goyim veheriqu kharvotam al-yefi khokhmatekha vekhillelu yifatekha

I swear I will bring against you Strangers, the most ruthless of nations. They shall unsheathe their swords Against your prized shrewdness, And they shall strike down your splendor.

lashakhat yoridukha vamattah memote khalal belev yammim

They shall bring you down to the Pit; In the heart of the sea you shall die The death of the slain.

he'amor tomar elohim ani lifne horegekha ve'attah adam velo-el beyad mekhallekha

Will you still say, “I am a god” Before your slayers, When you are proved a human, not a god, At the hands of those who strike you down?

mote arelim tamut beyad-zarim ki ani dibbarti ne'um adonay Elohim

By the hands of strangers you shall die The death of the uncircumcised; For I have spoken —declares the Sovereign GOD.

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam sa qinah al-melekh tsor ve'amarta lo koh amar adonay Elohim attah khotem tokhnit male khokhmah ukhelil yofi

O mortal, intone a dirge over the king of Tyre and say to him: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and flawless in beauty.

be'eden gan-elohim hayita kol-even yeqarah mesukhatekha odem pitdah veyahalom tarshish shoham veyashefeh sappir nofekh uvareqat vezahav melekhet tuppekha uneqavekha bakh beyom hibbara'akha konanu

You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your adornment: Carnelian, chrysolite, and amethyst; Beryl, lapis lazuli, and jasper; Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; And gold beautifully wrought for you, Mined for you, prepared the day you were created.

at-keruv mimshakh hassokhekh unetattikha behar qodesh elohim hayita betokh avne-esh hithallakheta

I created you as a cherub With outstretched shielding wings; And you resided on God’s holy mountain; You walked among stones of fire.

tamim attah bidrakhekha miyyom hibbare'akh ad-nimtsa avlatah bakh

You were blameless in your ways, From the day you were created Until wrongdoing was found in you.

berov rekhullatekha malu tokhekha khamas vattekheta va'akhallelkha mehar elohim va'abbedkha keruv hassokhekh mittokh avne-esh

By your far-flung commerce You were filled with lawlessness And you sinned. So I have struck you down From the mountain of God, And I have destroyed you, O shielding cherub, From among the stones of fire.

gavah libbekha beyofyekha shikhatta khokhmatekha al-yifatekha al-erets hishlakhtikha lifne melakhim netattikha lera'avah vakh

You grew haughty because of your beauty, You debased your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I have cast you to the ground, I have made you an object for kings to stare at.

merov avonekha be'evel rekhullatekha khillalta miqdashekha va'otsi-esh mittokhekha hi akhalatkha va'ettenkha le'efer al-ha'arets le'ene kol-ro'ekha

By the greatness of your guilt, Through the dishonesty of your trading, You desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire issue from you, And it has devoured you; I have reduced you to ashes on the ground, In the sight of all who behold you.

kol-yode'ekha ba'ammim shamemu alekha ballahot hayita ve'enekha ad-olam

All who knew you among the peoples Are appalled at your doom. You have become a horror And have ceased to be, forever.

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam sim panekha el-tsidon vehinnave aleha

O mortal, set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against her.

ve'amarta koh amar adonay Elohim hinni alayikh tsidon venikhbadti betokhekh veyade'u ki-ani Adonai ba'asoti vah shefatim veniqdashti vah

Say: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: I am going to deal with you, O Sidon. I will gain glory in your midst; And they shall know that I am GOD, When I wreak punishment upon her And show Myself holy through her.

veshillakhti-vah dever vadam bekhutsoteha veniflal khalal betokhah bekherev aleha missaviv veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

I will let pestilence loose against her And bloodshed into her streets. And the slain shall fall in her midst When the sword comes upon her from all sides. And they shall know that I am GOD.

velo-yihyeh od levet yisra'el sillon mamir veqots makhiv mikkol sevivotam hashatim otam veyade'u ki ani adonay Elohim

Then shall the House of Israel no longer be afflicted with prickling briers and lacerating thorns from all the neighbors who despise them; and they shall know that I am the Sovereign GOD.

koh-amar adonay Elohim beqabbetsi et-bet yisra'el min-ha'ammim asher nafotsu vam veniqdashti vam le'ene haggoyim veyashevu al-admatam asher natatti le'avdi leya'aqov

Thus said the Sovereign GOD: When I have gathered the House of Israel from the peoples among which they have been dispersed, and have shown Myself holy through them in the sight of the nations, they shall settle on their own soil, which I gave to My servant Jacob,

veyashevu aleha lavetakh uvanu vattim venate'u kheramim veyashevu lavetakh ba'asoti shefatim bekhol hashatim otam missevivotam veyade'u ki ani Adonai elohehem

and they shall dwell on it in security. They shall build houses and plant vineyards, and shall dwell on it in security, when I have meted out punishment to all those about them who despise them. And they shall know that I the ETERNAL One am their God.
