Ezekyèl 24-27
Haitian Creole Version
24 ¶ Nan dizyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp Izrayèl la, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Ekri dat jòdi a, paske se jòdi a wa peyi Babilòn lan pral sènen lavil Jerizalèm.
3 Ou pral bay yon pawoli sou move ras moun sa yo ki gen tèt di. W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Mete yon chodyè sou dife, plen l' dlo.
4 Mete vyann ladan l', pi bon moso vyann ou konnen: jigo ak zepòl. Mete bon moso zo ladan l' tou.
5 W'a pran yo nan mouton ki pi gra yo. Mete bon bwa anba chodyè a. Kite dlo a bouyi byen bouyi jouk vyann lan ak zo yo byen kwit.
6 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di apre sa: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a! Li tankou yon chodyè wouye yo pa janm foubi. Wete tout moso vyann yo yonn apre lòt. Pa chwazi pou kite anyen ladan l'.
7 Li fè anpil san koule nan mitan li. Men, san an pa koule atè pou pousyè te kouvri l'. San an koule sou wòch.
8 Mwen kite san an la sou wòch yo, kote yo pa ka kouvri l', pou l' ka mande revanj paske sa fè m' fache anpil.
9 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a. Se mwen menm ki pral fè yon gwo pil bwa.
10 Pote bwa an kantite toujou! Limen dife a! Kwit vyann yo byen kwit! Mete zepis ladan l'! Boule zo yo!
11 Mete chodyè fè a tou vid sou chabon dife yo. Kite l' vin tou wouj. Konsa lawouj la va tonbe, l'a dekale. Chodyè a va vin pwòp ankò pou l' ka sèvi.
12 Ala traka pou wete lawouj la! Atousa, lawouj la p'ap fin soti nèt nan dife a.
13 Jerizalèm, lawouj la se vye malpwòpte ou t'ap fè nan libètinaj ou yo. Mwen te soti pou m' te mete ou nan bon kondisyon, men ou pa rive fin nan bon kondisyon an nèt. Se poutèt sa, ou p'ap janm nan bon kondisyon ankò toutotan mwen pa fè ou santi tou sa mwen ka fè ou nan kòlè mwen.
14 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Lè a rive pou m' fè sa m' te di m'ap fè a. Mwen p'ap chanje lide. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap pran priyè. Yo pral pini ou pou sa ou te fè, pou jan ou te mennen bak ou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
15 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
16 -Nonm o! Mwen pral rete konsa, mwen pral pran moun ou renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt ou a. Men, pa plenyen, pa rele, pa kite dlo sot nan je ou!
17 Plenn sò ou. Men, pa kite moun tande ou! Pa fè anyen ki pou moutre ou nan lapenn tankou yon moun ki gen lanmò. Mare bèl foula ou nan tèt ou. Mete sapat nan pye ou. Pa kouvri figi ou. Pa manje manje moun voye ba ou.
18 Jou sa a nan maten, mwen t'ap pale ak pèp la. Nan aswè, madanm mwen rete konsa, li mouri. Nan denmen maten, mwen fè jan Seyè a te di m' fè a.
19 Pèp la mande m': -Eske ou ka di nou poukisa ou fè sa w'ap fè la a?
20 Mwen reponn yo: -Seyè a te pale avè m', li te di m',
21 pou m' di moun pèp Izrayèl yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye pou yo: Nou kontan gwo kay solid nou mete apa pou mwen an. Nou renmen l' tankou de grenn je nan tèt nou, nou fèb anpil pou li. Enben, mwen pral fè yo derespekte kay mwen an. Pitit gason ak pitit fi nou te kite lavil Jerizalèm yo pral mouri nan lagè.
22 Lè sa a, n'a fè jan nou wè m' fè a. Nou p'ap kouvri figi nou, nou p'ap manje pen nan men moun.
23 N'ap toujou mare bèl foula nan tèt nou. N'ap toujou mete sapat nan pye nou, nou p'ap rele, nou p'ap kriye jan moun yo fè lè yo gen lanmò. Men, nou pral deperi akòz mechanste nou yo. Nou pral plenn sò nou yonn bay lòt.
24 Ezekyèl menm pral yon siy pou nou. N'a fè menm jan li te fè a. Lè bagay sa a va rive, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè sèl Mèt la.
25 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap wete nan men yo kay byen solid ki te tout pwoteksyon yo a, bèl kay ki te fè kè yo kontan an, kay yo te renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt yo a, kay yo te fèb anpil pou li a. M'ap wete l' ansanm ak pitit gason ak pitit fi yo.
26 Jou sa a, yon moun va chape kò l', l'a kouri vin pote nouvèl la ba ou.
27 Menm jou sa a, w'a ka louvri bouch ou pale ak moun ki chape a. Wi, w'a ka pale, ou p'ap bèbè ankò. Se konsa ou va yon siy pou pèp la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
25 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon peyi Amon an. Denonse sa moun sa yo ap fè.
3 W'a di moun peyi Amon yo: Koute mesaj Seyè a. Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Nou te twò kontan lè yo te derespekte kay ki apa pou mwen an. Nou te twò kontan lè yo t'ap devalize peyi Izrayèl la, lè yo t'ap depòte moun Jida yo.
4 Se poutèt sa m'ap lage nou nan men moun ki soti nan dezè bò solèy leve a. Yo pral moute kan yo nan mitan peyi nou an, se la y'ap rete. Yo pral manje tout rekòt nou yo, y'ap bwè tout lèt bèt nou yo.
5 M'ap fè lavil Raba tounen savann pou chamo. M'ap fè tout peyi Amon an tounen yon gwo pak mouton. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
6 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Nou te bat men, nou te danse tèlman nou te kontan, paske, nan kè nou, nou pa vle wè peyi Izrayèl la.
7 Se poutèt sa m'ap lonje men m' sou nou pou m' pini nou, m'ap lage nou nan men moun lòt nasyon k'ap piye nou. Ras nou an ap fini nèt sou latè, peyi nou an ap disparèt. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
8 ¶ Seyè sèl Mèt la pale ankò, li di konsa: -Moun peyi Moab yo ak moun lavil Seyi yo te di peyi Jida a tankou tout lòt nasyon yo.
9 Enben, mwen pral fè yo atake lavil k'ap defann fwontyè peyi Moab la. Yo pral kraze yo tout, ata pi bèl vil yo tankou Bèt-Jechimòt, Baal Meon ak Kiriya-Tayim.
10 M'ap lage peyi Moab ansanm ak peyi Amon nan men moun ki soti nan dezè bò solèy leve a. Y'ap pran yo pou yo. Konsa, yo p'ap janm chonje te gen yon peyi yo te rele Moab ankò sou latè.
11 Se konsa m'ap pini peyi Moab la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
12 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li di konsa: -Moun peyi Edon yo te tire revanj yo sou peyi Jida a. Se sa ki fè yo antò anpil lè yo t'ap tire revanj yo sou peyi Jida a.
13 Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ap di: Mwen pral lonje men m' sou Edon pou m' pini l', mwen pral touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt nan peyi a. M'ap fè l' tounen yon dezè, pran depi lavil Teman rive jouk lavil Dedan. Yo pral touye tout moun nan lagè.
14 Se pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la, ki pral tire revanj pou mwen sou peyi Edon an. Li pral fè moun Edon yo santi jan mwen konn ankòlè, jan m' konn move. Lè sa a, Edon va konnen jan m' konn tire revanj mwen sou moun. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
15 Seyè sèl Mèt la di konsa: -Moun Filisti yo pran revanj yo, yo tire revanj sou moun yo pa vle wè depi lontan yo, yo detwi yo avèk raj.
16 Enben, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: M'ap lonje men m' sou moun Filisti yo pou m' pini yo, m'ap disparèt yo, m'ap detwi ti rès moun ki rete nan plenn Filisti ki bò lanmè a.
17 Se pa ti pini m' pral pini yo, m'ap tire revanj mwen sou yo. M' pral move anpil sou yo. Lè m'a tire revanj mwen sou yo, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
26 ¶ Nan premye jou mwa a nan onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Lavil Tir pa t' manke kontan. Men sa li t'ap di sou lavil Jerizalèm: Li fini! Li pa ka fè gwo kòmès li te konn fè anvan an. Koulye a, wout kòmès la louvri gran louvri pou mwen. Pa gen anyen lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
3 Enben, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap leve dèyè nou tou, nou menm moun lavil Tir. Mwen pral mennen anpil nasyon vin atake nou. Yo pral vin sou nou yonn apre lòt tankou lanm lanmè.
4 Yo pral kraze miray ranpa lavil yo. Y'ap demoli gwo fò won yo. Lèfini, m'ap pote tout pousyè a ale. M'ap kite wòch yo griyen konsa.
5 Pechè yo pral mete senn cheche sou yo, la kote lavil la te kanpe nan mitan lanmè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa. Nasyon yo pral piye lavil la.
6 Yo pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a ak nepe. Lè sa a, lavil Tir va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
7 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Mwen pral voye Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pi gran wa pase tout wa yo, vin atake Tir. L'ap soti nan nò avèk chwal, cha lagè, kavalye ak yon gwo lame sòlda.
8 Li pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a. Li pral fouye gwo kannal, li pral anpile ranblè tout arebò ou. Li pral moute yon miray ak plak fè pou pare kou.
9 Li pral frape sou miray yo avèk gwo poto. Li pral demoli gwo fò won yo ak gwo pens fè.
10 Tèlman pral gen chwal, chwal yo pral leve yon gwo nwaj pousyè dèyè yo ki pral kouvri lavil la. Lè kavalye l' yo ap pase sou chwal yo, lè cha lagè yo ak kabwa pwovizyon yo ap pase antre nan pòtay ou yo, miray yo pral tranble. Yo pral antre nan lavil la tankou si miray yo te tonbe.
11 Nou pral tande bri zago chwal li yo nan tout lari yo. L'ap fè yo touye tout moun ak nepe. Bèl gwo poto solid ou yo pral tonbe atè.
12 Yo pral pran tout richès ou yo, yo pral piye tout machandiz ou yo. Y'ap kraze tout miray ou yo, y'ap demoli tout bèl kay ou yo. Y'ap pran wòch yo, bwa yo ak tout rès demoli yo, y'ap jete yo nan lanmè.
13 M'ap fè nou sispann chante. Yo p'ap tande mizik gita nou yo ankò.
14 Lavil la pral tounen yon gwo pil wòch, se la pechè yo pral cheche senn yo. Yo p'ap janm rebati lavil la ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 ¶ Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun lavil Tir yo: Lè lavil la va tonbe nan men lènmi l' yo, lè y'a pran masakre moun ladan l', lè moun y'ap touye yo ap rele, moun ki rete tout bò gwo lanmè a va tranble.
16 Tout wa peyi k'ap fè kòmès sou lanmè a ap desann soti sou fotèy yo, y'ap wete gwo manto ak bèl rad bwode ki te sou yo. Yo pral chita atè sitèlman y'ap pè. Yo pral sitèlman sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'ap tranble san rete.
17 Yo pral plenn sò ou. Yo pral di: -Gade yon malè! Gwo lavil la disparèt! Tout batiman l' yo koule! Jan moun lavil sa yo te mèt lanmè a! Yo te fè tout moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a pè yo.
18 Koulye a, tout moun bò gwo lanmè yo ap tranble lè y'a wè ou tonbe nan men lènmi ou yo. Wi, moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a p'ap konn sa pou yo fè lè y'a wè jan ou fini an!
19 Paske, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap fè ou tounen yon dezè, tankou lavil kote pa gen moun rete. M'ap fè dlo lanmè a leve dèyè ou, l'ap kouvri ou nèt ale.
20 M'ap fè nou desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap voye nou al jwenn moun ki mouri depi lontan yo. M'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi ki anba tè a, kote nou pral rete pou kont nou, pou tout tan ansanm ak moun ki mouri deja yo. Konsa, nou p'ap gen plas nou ankò sou latè pami vivan yo.
21 Mwen pral fè tout moun pè lè yo wè sa ki rive nou. Se konsa n'a fini. Moun va chache nou, men yo p'ap janm jwenn nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
27 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Chante pou plenn sò lavil Tir!
3 W'a pale ak moun lavil Tir yo, lavil ki kanpe bò lanmè a, lavil k'ap fè kòmès ak dènye moun ki rete bò lanmè, w'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: -Nou menm, moun lavil Tir, k'ap mache di: Pa gen pi bèl peyi pase peyi nou an!
4 Fwontyè nou rive jouk nan mitan lanmè. Moun ki bati lavil la te bati l' tankou yon bèl batiman.
5 Yo te pran bwapen sou mòn Seni fè planch pou sèvi bòday nou yo. Yo pran yon bwa sèd peyi Liban pou fè ma pou nou.
6 Yo pran bwadchenn peyi Bazan pou fè zaviwon. Yo voye chache bwa sèd nan lil Chip pou fè pon an. Lèfini, yo plake moso ivwa sou tout pon an.
7 Vwal batiman an te fèt ak bèl twal fin blan bwode ki soti peyi Lejip. Se te drapo pa nou sa! Kabin sou pon an te kouvri ak bèl twal violèt, bèl twal wouj ki soti nan lil Elicha.
8 Se gason ki soti lavil Sidon ak lavil Avad k'ap naje zaviwon pou ou. Men, se moun lavil la menm ki te fò anpil nan lamarin ki te maren sou batiman an.
9 Se ansyen gwo bòs chapant lavil Gebal ak bon ouvriye yo ki te abò batiman an pou fè reparasyon. Maren tout batiman ki sou lanmè a vin fè trafik lakay ou.
10 Nan lame ou la se renk moun peyi Pès, moun peyi Loud ak moun peyi Pout ki t'ap sèvi. Yo konn fè lagè. Se nan kazèn ou yo yo te konn mete gwo plak fè pwotèj yo ak kas an fè yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou rive nan tout bèl pozisyon sa a.
11 Sòlda ki soti lavil Avad ap veye sou tout miray ranpa ou yo. Sòlda ki soti lavil Gamad t'ap fè faksyonnè sou tout gwo fò won ou yo. Yo pandye plak fè pwotèj yo sou tout miray yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou bèl kont bèl ou.
12 Moun lavil Tasis nan peyi Lespay vin fè kòmès ak ou, paske ou te gen tout kalite bèl bagay an kantite. Yo vann ou ajan, fè, fèblan ak plon pou yo te ka achte machandiz ou yo.
13 Ou fè kòmès ak peyi Lagrès, ak lavil Toubal, ak lavi Mechèk. Yo vann ou esklav ak tout kalite bagay fèt an kwiv pou machandiz pa ou yo.
14 Ou fè trafik ak moun Togama. Ou vann yo machandiz pa ou. Pou peye ou, yo ba ou chwal pou travay, chwal pou fè lagè ak milèt.
15 Moun lavil Wòd yo fè kòmès avèk ou tou. Moun anpil lòt peyi ki bò gwo lanmè a te fè pratik ak ou. Ou ba yo machandiz ou yo, yo peye ak gwo kòn ivwa ak bwa nwa.
16 Moun peyi Siri yo fè komès avèk ou paske ou te gen anpil machandiz. Yo vann ou bèl pyè ki koute chè, bèl twal wouj, twal bwode, grenn koray, twal fin blan, ak pyè woubi. Ou menm, ou vann yo machandiz pa ou.
17 Moun peyi Jida ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè kòmès avè ou tou. Pou peye ou, yo ba ou ble, pitimi, siwo myèl, lwil oliv ak zepis.
18 Moun Damas yo achte machandiz ou yo ak tout kalite bèl bagay ou te gen an kantite. Yo te vann ou diven ki soti Elbon ak lenn ki soti Saar.
19 Moun soti depi lavil Wazal, yo ba ou diven, fè fòje, kannèl ak zepis pou machandiz ou yo.
20 Moun lavil Dadan yo ba ou sèl ak chabrak pou machandiz ou yo.
21 Moun peyi Arabi yo ak chèf peyi Keda yo te pratik ou tou. Yo te vann ou ti mouton, belye mouton ak bouk kabrit.
22 Machann ki soti Seba ak Rema vin vann ou bon kalite zepis, bèl pyè ki koute chè ak lò.
23 Moun lavil Aran, moun lavil Kane, moun lavil Edenn, machann ki soti lavil Seba, lavil Asou ak lavil Chilman, yo tout t'ap fè kòmès avè ou.
24 Yo vann ou bèl twal ki koute chè, twal wouj, twal bwode, bèl tapi tout koulè, bon kòd trese byen solid.
25 Gwo batiman Tasis yo t'ap vwayaje toupatou al vann machandiz ou yo. Ou te tankou yon batiman chaje kouleba, nan mitan lanmè.
26 ¶ Moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo te mennen ou byen lwen nan fon lanmè. Yon sèl van lès te fè ou koule byen lwen nan mitan lanmè.
27 Tout richès ou yo, tout machandiz ou yo, ak tout pwovizyon ou yo ansanm ak tout maren ak tout moun k'ap travay pou ou yo, bòs chapant ki pou fè reparasyon pou ou yo, machann ou yo, tout sòlda ki te abò ou yo ansanm ak tout foul moun ki te nan batiman an, yo tout, wi, yo tout pèdi nan lanmè lè batiman ou lan koule.
28 Rèl maren k'ap neye yo fè moun ki rete sou rivaj yo pran tranble.
29 Tout moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo desann atè, yo kite batiman yo. Tout maren yo rete atè.
30 Y'ap kriye pou ou, y'ap plenn sò ou. Y'ap voye pousyè tè sou tèt yo, y'ap woule kò yo nan sann dife, tèlman y'ap nan lapenn.
31 Yo koupe tout cheve nan tèt yo. Yo mete rad sak sou yo. Sa fè yo mal anpil pou ou. Yo dekouraje, y'ap plenn sò ou.
32 Nan lapenn yo y'ap chante sou ou. Yo pral plenn sò ou ak dlo nan je. Y'ap di: Pa te gen tankou lavil Tir ki koulye a koule nan fon lanmè!
33 Lè ou voye machandiz ou yo vann lòt bò dlo, tout nasyon yo jwenn sa yo bezwen. Avèk kantite machandiz ak danre ou yo, ou te fè anpil wa vin rich.
34 Koulye a, ou koule nan fon lanmè. Tout machandiz ou yo, tout moun ki t'ap travay pou ou yo disparèt ansanm avè ou nan lanmè.
35 Tout moun ki rete nan peyi bò gwo lanmè a sezi tande sa ki rive ou. Ata wa yo gen kè sote. Yo kagou sitèlman yo pè.
36 Moun k'ap fè kòmès nan lòt peyi yo sezi, yo pè pou sa ki rive ou la pa rive yo tou. Wi, ou fini, ou fini nèt.
Ezekiel 24-27
New International Version
Ezekiel 24-27
New International Version
Jerusalem as a Cooking Pot
24 In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the Lord came to me:(A) 2 “Son of man, record(B) this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.(C) 3 Tell this rebellious people(D) a parable(E) and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Put on the cooking pot;(F) put it on
and pour water into it.
4 Put into it the pieces of meat,
all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder.
Fill it with the best of these bones;(G)
5 take the pick of the flock.(H)
Pile wood beneath it for the bones;
bring it to a boil
and cook the bones in it.(I)
6 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Woe(J) to the city of bloodshed,(K)
to the pot now encrusted,
whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
in whatever order(L) it comes.(M)
7 “‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
where the dust would cover it.(N)
8 To stir up wrath and take revenge
I put her blood on the bare rock,
so that it would not be covered.
9 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Woe to the city of bloodshed!
I, too, will pile the wood high.
10 So heap on the wood
and kindle the fire.
Cook the meat well,
mixing in the spices;
and let the bones be charred.
11 Then set the empty pot on the coals
till it becomes hot and its copper glows,
so that its impurities may be melted
and its deposit burned away.(O)
12 It has frustrated all efforts;
its heavy deposit has not been removed,
not even by fire.
13 “‘Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed(P) from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.(Q)
14 “‘I the Lord have spoken.(R) The time has come for me to act.(S) I will not hold back; I will not have pity,(T) nor will I relent.(U) You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions,(V) declares the Sovereign Lord.(W)’”
Ezekiel’s Wife Dies
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, with one blow(X) I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes.(Y) Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears.(Z) 17 Groan quietly;(AA) do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban(AB) fastened and your sandals(AC) on your feet; do not cover your mustache and beard(AD) or eat the customary food of mourners.(AE)”
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did as I had been commanded.(AF)
19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things have to do with us?(AG) Why are you acting like this?”
20 So I said to them, “The word of the Lord came to me: 21 Say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary(AH)—the stronghold in which you take pride,(AI) the delight of your eyes,(AJ) the object of your affection. The sons and daughters(AK) you left behind will fall by the sword.(AL) 22 And you will do as I have done. You will not cover your mustache and beard(AM) or eat the customary food of mourners.(AN) 23 You will keep your turbans(AO) on your heads and your sandals(AP) on your feet. You will not mourn(AQ) or weep but will waste away(AR) because of[a] your sins and groan among yourselves.(AS) 24 Ezekiel(AT) will be a sign(AU) to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’
25 “And you, son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes,(AV) their heart’s desire,(AW) and their sons and daughters(AX) as well— 26 on that day a fugitive will come to tell you(AY) the news. 27 At that time your mouth will be opened; you will speak with him and will no longer be silent.(AZ) So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.(BA)”
A Prophecy Against Ammon
25 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against(BB) the Ammonites(BC) and prophesy against them.(BD) 3 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you said “Aha!(BE)” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated(BF) and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,(BG) 4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East(BH) as a possession. They will set up their camps(BI) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(BJ) 5 I will turn Rabbah(BK) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(BL) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(BM) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(BN) 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand(BO) against you and give you as plunder(BP) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy(BQ) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(BR)’”
A Prophecy Against Moab
8 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab(BS) and Seir(BT) said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,” 9 therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth(BU), Baal Meon(BV) and Kiriathaim(BW)—the glory of that land. 10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered(BX) among the nations; 11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”(BY)
A Prophecy Against Edom
12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom(BZ) took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, 13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand(CA) against Edom and kill both man and beast.(CB) I will lay it waste, and from Teman(CC) to Dedan(CD) they will fall by the sword.(CE) 14 I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger(CF) and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”(CG)
A Prophecy Against Philistia
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines(CH) acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice(CI) in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines,(CJ) and I will wipe out the Kerethites(CK) and destroy those remaining along the coast.(CL) 17 I will carry out great vengeance(CM) on them and punish(CN) them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord,(CO) when I take vengeance on them.(CP)’”
A Prophecy Against Tyre
26 In the eleventh month of the twelfth[b] year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:(CQ) 2 “Son of man, because Tyre(CR) has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha!(CS) The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’ 3 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea(CT) casting up its waves. 4 They will destroy(CU) the walls of Tyre(CV) and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. 5 Out in the sea(CW) she will become a place to spread fishnets,(CX) for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder(CY) for the nations,(CZ) 6 and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar[c](DA) king of Babylon, king of kings,(DB) with horses and chariots,(DC) with horsemen and a great army. 8 He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works(DD) against you, build a ramp(DE) up to your walls and raise his shields against you. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.(DF) 10 His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the warhorses, wagons and chariots(DG) when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. 11 The hooves(DH) of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars(DI) will fall to the ground.(DJ) 12 They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea.(DK) 13 I will put an end(DL) to your noisy songs,(DM) and the music of your harps(DN) will be heard no more.(DO) 14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt,(DP) for I the Lord have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands(DQ) tremble(DR) at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan(DS) and the slaughter takes place in you? 16 Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered(DT) garments. Clothed(DU) with terror, they will sit on the ground,(DV) trembling(DW) every moment, appalled(DX) at you. 17 Then they will take up a lament(DY) concerning you and say to you:
“‘How you are destroyed, city of renown,
peopled by men of the sea!
You were a power on the seas,
you and your citizens;
you put your terror
on all who lived there.(DZ)
18 Now the coastlands tremble(EA)
on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
are terrified at your collapse.’(EB)
19 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths(EC) over you and its vast waters cover you,(ED) 20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit,(EE) to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place[d] in the land of the living.(EF) 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more.(EG) You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”(EH)
A Lament Over Tyre
27 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, take up a lament(EI) concerning Tyre. 3 Say to Tyre,(EJ) situated at the gateway to the sea,(EK) merchant of peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You say, Tyre,
“I am perfect in beauty.(EL)”
4 Your domain was on the high seas;
your builders brought your beauty to perfection.(EM)
5 They made all your timbers
of juniper from Senir[e];(EN)
they took a cedar from Lebanon(EO)
to make a mast for you.
6 Of oaks(EP) from Bashan
they made your oars;
of cypress wood[f] from the coasts of Cyprus(EQ)
they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
7 Fine embroidered linen(ER) from Egypt was your sail
and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple(ES)
from the coasts of Elishah.(ET)
8 Men of Sidon and Arvad(EU) were your oarsmen;
your skilled men, Tyre, were aboard as your sailors.(EV)
9 Veteran craftsmen of Byblos(EW) were on board
as shipwrights to caulk your seams.
All the ships of the sea(EX) and their sailors
came alongside to trade for your wares.
10 “‘Men of Persia,(EY) Lydia(EZ) and Put(FA)
served as soldiers in your army.
They hung their shields(FB) and helmets on your walls,
bringing you splendor.
11 Men of Arvad and Helek
guarded your walls on every side;
men of Gammad
were in your towers.
They hung their shields around your walls;
they brought your beauty to perfection.(FC)
12 “‘Tarshish(FD) did business with you because of your great wealth of goods;(FE) they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.
13 “‘Greece,(FF) Tubal and Meshek(FG) did business with you; they traded human beings(FH) and articles of bronze for your wares.
14 “‘Men of Beth Togarmah(FI) exchanged chariot horses, cavalry horses and mules for your merchandise.
15 “‘The men of Rhodes[g](FJ) traded with you, and many coastlands(FK) were your customers; they paid you with ivory(FL) tusks and ebony.
16 “‘Aram[h](FM) did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise,(FN) purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen,(FO) coral(FP) and rubies for your merchandise.
17 “‘Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat(FQ) from Minnith(FR) and confections,[i] honey, olive oil and balm(FS) for your wares.(FT)
18 “‘Damascus(FU) did business with you because of your many products and great wealth of goods.(FV) They offered wine from Helbon, wool from Zahar 19 and casks of wine from Izal(FW) in exchange for your wares: wrought iron, cassia(FX) and calamus.
20 “‘Dedan(FY) traded in saddle blankets with you.
21 “‘Arabia(FZ) and all the princes of Kedar(GA) were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.
22 “‘The merchants of Sheba(GB) and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices(GC) and precious stones, and gold.(GD)
23 “‘Harran,(GE) Kanneh and Eden(GF) and merchants of Sheba, Ashur(GG) and Kilmad traded with you. 24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(GH) serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
as you sail the sea.(GI)
26 Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind(GJ) will break you to pieces
far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(GK) merchandise and wares,
your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(GL)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(GM)
when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars
will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(GN) on their heads
and roll(GO) in ashes.(GP)
31 They will shave their heads(GQ) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(GR) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(GS)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(GT) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(GU)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(GV)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(GW) and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.(GX)
35 All who live in the coastlands(GY)
are appalled(GZ) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.(HA)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(HB)
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(HC)’”
