推罗的哀歌

27 耶和华的话临到我说: “人子啊!你要为推罗作一首哀歌。 要对那位于海口,跟沿海邦国通商的推罗说:‘主耶和华这样说:

推罗啊!你曾经说过:

我是全然美丽的。

你的疆界在众海中心,

建造你的使你全然美丽。

他们用示尼珥的松树做你所有的木板;

用黎巴嫩的香柏树做你的桅杆;

用巴珊的橡树做你的桨;

用基提沿岸的黄杨木镶嵌着象牙,做你的舱板。

你的帆是用埃及刺绣的细麻布做的,

可作你的旗帜;

你的篷是用以利沙沿岸的蓝色和紫色布做的。

西顿和亚发的居民给你荡桨;

推罗啊!你中间的技师作你的舵手。

迦巴勒的技师和老练的工匠都在你那里修补裂缝;

所有海上的船只和水手都在你那里,与你进行贸易。

10 波斯人、路德人、弗人

都在你的军队中作战士;

他们在你那里挂起盾牌和头盔,

彰显你的光荣。

11 在你四围的城墙上有亚发人和赫勒克人(“赫勒克人”或译:“你的军兵”);在你的城楼上有歌玛底人(“歌玛底人”或译:“勇士”)。他们把自己的盾牌挂在你四围的城墙上,使你全然美丽。

12 “他施人因你各样丰富的财物,就作你的贸易伙伴;他们用银、铁、锡和铅来换取你的货物。 13 雅完人、土巴人和米设人都与你通商;他们用奴隶和铜器来换取你的商品。 14 伯陀迦玛人用马、战马和骡子来换取你的货物。 15 底但人与你通商,沿海许多地方都作你贸易的市场;他们用象牙和乌木支付给你。 16 亚兰人因你的产品很多,就作你的贸易伙伴;他们用绿宝石、紫色布、刺绣、细麻布、珊瑚、红宝石,来换取你的货物。 17 犹大和以色列地都与你通商;他们用米匿的麦子、饼、蜜、油和乳香来换取你的商品。 18 大马士革人因你产品很多,又因你各样丰富的财物,就用黑本酒和白羊毛(“白羊毛”或译:“察哈尔羊毛”)来与你交易, 19 威但人用乌萨出的酒(“用乌萨出的酒”原文作“和从乌萨来的雅完人”)来换取你的货物;他们用锻铁、桂皮和菖蒲,来交换你的商品。 20 底但人用马鞍毯子来与你交易。 21 阿拉伯人和基达所有的领袖都作你通商的顾客;他们用羊羔、绵羊和山羊,来与你交易。 22 示巴和拉玛的商人都与你交易;他们用各样上等的香料,各种宝石和黄金,来换取你的货物。 23 哈兰人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人、亚述人和基抹人,都与你交易。 24 他们用美丽的衣服、蓝色刺绣的袍子、色彩缤纷的地毯,用绳子绑得结实,在你的市场上与你交易。 25 他施的船只运载你的商品,

你在海的中心,满载货物,

极其沉重。

26 给你荡桨的已经把你荡到水深之处;

东风在海的中心

把你吹破。

27 你的财富、货物、商品、水手、舵手、

修补裂缝的、与你进行贸易的,

在你那里所有的战士,

并在你中间所有聚集的人、

在你倾覆的日子,

都必在海的中心沉下去。

28 因你舵手的呼叫声,

郊野都必震动。

29 所有荡桨的、

水手和航海的舵手,

都必离开他们的船只,

站在陆上。

30 他们必为你

放声痛哭,

把尘土撒在自己的头上,

在灰中打滚。

31 他们必因你把头剃光,

腰束麻布,

为你痛心哭泣,

苦苦悲哀。

32 他们为你哀悼的时候,必为你作一首哀歌:

有哪一座城,

像在海中沉寂的推罗呢?

33 你的货物从海上运出去的时候,

曾使多国的人饱足;

因你丰富的财物和商品,

你使地上的君王都富裕。

34 如今你在深水的地方,

被海水冲破;

你的商品和所有在你那里聚集的人,

都沉下去了。

35 沿海地带所有的居民

都因你惊骇;

他们的君王都极其恐慌,

面容扭曲。

36 各族的商人都嗤笑你;

你必遭遇可怕的灾祸,

你就永远不再存在了。’”

Lamentation over Tyre

27 The word of the Lord came to me: Now you, mortal, raise a lamentation over Tyre, and say to Tyre, which sits at the entrance to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, Thus says the Lord God:

O Tyre, you have said,
    “I am perfect in beauty.”
Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.
They made all your planks
    of fir trees from Senir;
they took a cedar from Lebanon
    to make a mast for you.
From oaks of Bashan
    they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines[a]
    from the coasts of Cyprus,
    inlaid with ivory.
Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
    was your sail,
    serving as your ensign;
blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah
    was your awning.
The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
    were your rowers;
skilled men of Zemer[b] were within you,
    they were your pilots.
The elders of Gebal and its artisans were within you,
    caulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were within you,
    to barter for your wares.
10 Paras[c] and Lud and Put
    were in your army,
    your mighty warriors;
they hung shield and helmet in you;
    they gave you splendor.
11 Men of Arvad and Helech[d]
    were on your walls all around;
    men of Gamad were at your towers.
They hung their quivers all around your walls;
    they made perfect your beauty.

12 Tarshish did business with you out of the abundance of your great wealth; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 Beth-togarmah exchanged for your wares horses, war horses, and mules. 15 The Rhodians[e] traded with you; many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony. 16 Edom[f] did business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies. 17 Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat from Minnith, millet,[g] honey, oil, and balm. 18 Damascus traded with you for your abundant goods—because of your great wealth of every kind—wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19 Vedan and Javan from Uzal[h] entered into trade for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and sweet cane were bartered for your merchandise. 20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored dealers in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you. 22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; they exchanged for your wares the best of all kinds of spices, and all precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you. 24 These traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure; in these they traded with you.[i] 25 The ships of Tarshish traveled for you in your trade.

So you were filled and heavily laden
    in the heart of the seas.
26 Your rowers have brought you
    into the high seas.
The east wind has wrecked you
    in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
    your mariners and your pilots,
your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
    and all your warriors within you,
with all the company
    that is with you,
sink into the heart of the seas
    on the day of your ruin.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
    the countryside shakes,
29 and down from their ships
    come all that handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
    stand on the shore
30 and wail aloud over you,
    and cry bitterly.
They throw dust on their heads
    and wallow in ashes;
31 they make themselves bald for you,
    and put on sackcloth,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
    with bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they raise a lamentation for you,
    and lament over you:
“Who was ever destroyed[j] like Tyre
    in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares came from the seas,
    you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
    you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are wrecked by the seas,
    in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew
    have sunk with you.
35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands
    are appalled at you;
and their kings are horribly afraid,
    their faces are convulsed.
36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you;
    you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.”

Lamentation for Tyre

27 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, “Now, son of man, (A)take up a lamentation for Tyre, and say to Tyre, (B)‘You who [a]are situated at the entrance of the sea, (C)merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,
(D)‘I am perfect in beauty.’
Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
They [b]made all your planks of fir trees from (E)Senir;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
Of (F)oaks from Bashan they made your oars;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from (G)the coasts of [c]Cyprus.
Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.

“Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
They became your pilots.
Elders of (H)Gebal and its wise men
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.

10 “Those from Persia, [d]Lydia, and [e]Libya
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
11 Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made (I)your beauty perfect.

12 (J)“Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. 13 (K)Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered (L)human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 Those from the house of (M)Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. 15 The men of (N)Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment. 16 Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies. 17 Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of (O)Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and (P)balm. 18 Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool. 19 Dan and Javan paid for your wares, [f]traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise. 20 (Q)Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of (R)Kedar were your regular merchants. They traded with you in lambs, rams, and goats. 22 The merchants of (S)Sheba and Raamah were your merchants. They traded for your wares the choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold. 23 (T)Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of (U)Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad were your merchants. 24 These were your merchants in choice items—in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace.

25 “The (V)ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise.
You were filled and very glorious (W)in the midst of the seas.
26 Your oarsmen brought you into many waters,
But (X)the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.

27 “Your (Y)riches, wares, and merchandise,
Your mariners and pilots,
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
All your men of war who are in you,
And the entire company which is in your midst,
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
28 The (Z)common-land[g] will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

29 “All (AA)who handle the oar,
The mariners,
All the pilots of the sea
Will come down from their ships and stand on the [h]shore.
30 They will make their voice heard because of you;
They will cry bitterly and (AB)cast dust on their heads;
They (AC)will roll about in ashes;
31 They will (AD)shave themselves completely bald because of you,
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
And weep for you
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 In their wailing for you
They will (AE)take up a lamentation,
And lament for you:
(AF)‘What city is like Tyre,
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

33 ‘When(AG) your wares went out by sea,
You satisfied many people;
You enriched the kings of the earth
With your many luxury goods and your merchandise.
34 But (AH)you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;
(AI)Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.
35 (AJ)All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;
Their kings will be greatly afraid,
And their countenance will be troubled.
36 The merchants among the peoples (AK)will hiss at you;
(AL)You will become a horror, and be no (AM)more forever.’ ” ’ ”
