以西结书 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
为泰尔唱哀歌
27 耶和华对我说： 2 “人子啊，你要为泰尔唱哀歌， 3 告诉位于海口、跟沿海各民族通商的泰尔，主耶和华这样说，
“‘泰尔啊，
你曾夸耀自己完美无瑕。
4 你的势力在大海上，
你的建造者把你造得完美无瑕。
5 他们用示尼珥的松木做你的船板，
用黎巴嫩的香柏木做桅杆，
6 用巴珊的橡木做你的桨，
把象牙镶嵌在基提沿岸的黄杨木上做甲板，
7 用埃及来的绣花细麻布做你的帆，
成为你的旗号，
用伊利沙岛来的蓝布和紫布做船篷。
8 西顿和亚发的居民是你的船夫，
你的智者在船上为你掌舵。
9 迦巴勒的老手和智者在船上为你修补船篷，
所有海洋的船只和水手都来与你做生意。
10 “‘你军队中的战士有波斯人、路德人、弗人，他们在你的墙上挂起盾牌和头盔，展示你的光彩。 11 亚发人和你的军队都守卫在你的城墙上，歌玛底人把守你的城楼，他们都在墙上挂满盾牌，使你完美无瑕。
12 “‘他施人因你有丰富的货物，就拿银、铁、锡、铅来跟你交易。 13 雅完人、土巴人、米设人也跟你通商，用奴隶和铜器来换取你的货物。 14 陀迦玛人用马匹、战马和骡子来跟你交易。 15 底但人也是你的客商，你的市场远及沿海一带，他们拿象牙、乌木来跟你交易。 16 因为你的货物丰富，亚兰人也成了你的客户，他们用绿宝石、紫布、刺绣、细麻布、珊瑚和红宝石与你交换货物。 17 犹大和以色列也是你的客商，他们用米匿的麦、饼、蜜、油和香料与你交换货物。 18 大马士革见你的货物丰富，就用黑本的酒和沙哈的羊毛来跟你交易。 19 从乌萨来的威但人和雅完人用铁、肉桂、菖蒲与你交换货物。 20 底但人用马鞍垫来跟你交易。 21 阿拉伯人和基达的所有首领都来做你的客商，他们用羊羔、绵羊和山羊来跟你交易。 22 示巴和拉玛的商人用各类上等香料、宝石和黄金交换你的货物。 23 哈兰、干尼、伊甸、示巴、亚述和基抹的商人都来跟你交易， 24 他们把华丽衣服、蓝布、刺绣和彩色地毯捆扎结实，拿来跟你交易。
25 “‘他施的船只替你运货，
你在海上载满沉甸甸的货物。
26 船夫把你摇到汪洋之中，
但东风要把你击碎在海中。
27 你的财富、货物、商品、
水手、舵手、缝匠、客商、
战士和人民在你倾覆的日子都要沉到深海里。
28 你舵手的哀号声必震动海岸，
29 所有的船夫、水手、舵手都必弃船登岸，
30 为你放声痛哭，
把尘埃撒在头上，
在灰中打滚，
31 又为你剃头披麻，
悲痛哀伤。
32 他们在痛哭中为你唱起哀歌，
哀悼你说，
有哪一座城像泰尔一样在深海中销声匿迹呢？
33 你的货物由海上运出，
满足了许多国家；
你的资财和货物使地上的君王富裕。
34 然而，如今你在汪洋中被海浪击碎，
你的货物和人民都一同沉没了。
35 沿海的居民因你而惊骇，
君王都吓得面容失色。
36 各国商人都嗤笑你，
你那可怕的末日来临了，
你将永远不复存在。’”
Ezekiel 27

A Funeral Song for Tyre
27 The Lord said to me, 2 “Mortal man, sing a funeral song for Tyre, 3 that city which stands at the edge of the sea and does business with the people living on every seacoast. Tell her what the Sovereign Lord is saying:
“Tyre, you boasted of your perfect beauty.
4 Your home is the sea.
Your builders made you like a beautiful ship;
5 They used fir trees from Mount Hermon for timber
And a cedar from Lebanon for your mast.
6 They took oak trees from Bashan to make oars;
They made your deck out of pine from Cyprus
And inlaid it with ivory.
7 Your sails were made of linen,
Embroidered linen from Egypt,
Easily recognized from afar.
Your awnings were made of finest cloth,
Of purple from the island of Cyprus.
8 Your oarsmen were from the cities of Sidon and Arvad.
Your own skillful men were the sailors.
9 The ship's carpenters
Were well-trained men from Byblos.
Sailors from every seagoing ship
Did business in your shops.
10 “Soldiers from Persia, Lydia, and Libya served in your army. They hung their shields and their helmets in your barracks. They are the men who won glory for you. 11 Soldiers from Arvad guarded your walls, and troops from Gamad guarded your towers. They hung their shields on your walls. They are the ones who made you beautiful.
12 “You did business in Spain and took silver, iron, tin, and lead in payment for your abundant goods. 13 You did business in Greece, Tubal, and Meshech and traded your goods for slaves and for articles of bronze. 14 You sold your goods for workhorses, war-horses, and mules from Beth Togarmah. 15 The people of Rhodes[a] traded with you; people of many coastal lands gave you ivory and ebony in exchange for your goods. 16 The people of Syria bought your merchandise and your many products. They gave emeralds, purple cloth, embroidery, fine linen, coral, and rubies in payment for your wares. 17 Judah and Israel paid for your goods with wheat,[b] honey, olive oil, and spices. 18-19 The people of Damascus bought your merchandise and your products, paying for them with wine from Helbon and wool from Sahar.[c] They traded wrought iron and spices for your goods. 20 The people of Dedan traded saddle blankets for your goods. 21 The Arabians and the rulers of the land of Kedar paid for your merchandise with lambs, sheep, and goats. 22 For your goods the merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded jewels, gold, and the finest spices. 23 The cities of Haran, Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, the cities of Asshur and Chilmad—they all traded with you. 24 They sold you luxurious clothing, purple cloth, and embroidery, brightly colored carpets, and well-made cords and ropes. 25 (A)Your merchandise was carried in fleets of the largest cargo ships.
“You were like a ship at sea
Loaded with heavy cargo.
26 When your oarsmen brought you out to sea,
An east wind wrecked you far from land.
27 All your wealth of merchandise,
All the sailors in your crew,
Your ship's carpenters and your merchants,
Every soldier on board the ship—
All, all were lost at sea
When your ship was wrecked.
28 The shouts of the drowning sailors
Echoed on the shore.
29 “Every ship is now deserted,
And every sailor has gone ashore.
30 They all mourn bitterly for you,
Throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes.
31 They shave their heads for you
And dress themselves in sackcloth.
Their hearts are bitter as they weep.
32 They chant a funeral song for you:
‘Who can be compared to Tyre,
To Tyre now silent in the sea?
33 When your merchandise went overseas,
You filled the needs of every nation.
Kings were made rich
By the wealth of your goods.
34 Now you are wrecked in the sea;
You have sunk to the ocean depths.
Your goods and all who worked for you
Have vanished with you in the sea.’
35 “Everyone who lives along the coast is shocked at your fate. Even their kings are terrified, and fear is written on their faces. 36 You are gone, gone forever, and merchants all over the world are terrified, afraid that they will share your fate.”
