¹V enajstem letu, prvi dan meseca, mi je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA, govoreč:

¹It happened in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²Sin človečji, zato ker pravi Tir o Jeruzalemu: Ahá! strt je, ki je bil vrata narodom; k meni se je obrnil; napolnjen bodem, ker je on opustošen,

²Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken: the gate of the peoples; she is turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:

³zato pravi tako Gospod Jehova: Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, Tir, in storim, da se vzdignejo mnogi narodi zoper tebe, kakor morje zaganja valove.

³therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.

⁴In razvalé zidove Tira in podero stolpe njegove; in prst njegovo postržem ž njega in ga naredim v golo skalo.

⁴They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.

⁵Postane prostor sredi morja, na katerem bodo razprostirali mreže. Kajti jaz sem to rekel, govori Gospod Jehova. In bode v plen narodom.

⁵She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.

⁶In hčere njegove [T. j. njemu podložna mesta.], ki so na poljani, bodo umorjene z mečem. In spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

⁶Her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

⁷Zakaj tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Glej, privedem nad Tir Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, kralja kraljev, od severa, s konji in z vozmi in s konjiki, in veliko množico ljudstva.

⁷For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many people.

⁸On umori z mečem hčere tvoje na poljani in postavi obležne stolpe zoper tebe in okrog tebe nanosi nasip in ščite povzdigne zoper tebe.

⁸He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.

⁹In nameri metalnice svoje proti zidovom tvojim in s svojimi kladivi podre stolpe tvoje.

⁹He shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.

¹⁰Konj njegovih bode toliko, da te njih prah pokrije; vsled ropota jezdecev in koles in voz njegovih se bodo tresli zidovi tvoji, kadar pojde skozi vrata tvoja, kakor vhajajo v mesto, v katero so naredili predor.

¹⁰By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.

¹¹S kopiti konj svojih potepta vse ulice tvoje, ljudstvo tvoje pomori z mečem, in stebri moči tvoje se zvrnejo na tla.

¹¹With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets; he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall go down to the ground.

¹²In bogastvo tvoje pobero kot rop in kupčijsko blago tvoje jim bode v plen; in porušijo zidove tvoje in krasne hiše tvoje razdenejo; in tvoje kamenje in lesovje tvoje in prah tvoj pomečejo v vodo.

¹²They shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.

¹³In storim, da umolkne glas pesmi tvojih in brenk citer tvojih se ne bo slišal več.

¹³I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be no more heard.

¹⁴In naredim te v golo skalo; prostor bodeš, kjer bodo razprostirali mreže; ne boš sezidan več. Zakaj jaz, GOSPOD, sem to rekel, govori Gospod Jehova.

¹⁴I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more: for I Yahweh have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵Tako pravi Gospod Jehova Tiru: Ali se ne bodo tresli otoki od hrupa padca tvojega, ko bodo ranjenci zdihovali, ko se bo morilo sredi tebe?

¹⁵Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre: shall not the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?

¹⁶Tedaj stopijo vsi pomorski knezi s prestolov svojih in odlože plašče in slečejo pisana oblačila. Obleka jim bo trepet, na tleh sedeč, bodo vztrepetali vsak trenotek in strmeli ob tebi.

¹⁶Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.

¹⁷In napravijo žalovanje zate in ti poreko: Kako si poginilo, sloveče mesto, ki so v tebi prebivali pomorščaki! ki je bilo močno na morju, ono in njegovi prebivalci, ki je strahovalo vse, ki so v njem prebivali.

¹⁷They shall take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!

¹⁸Tedaj se bodo tresli otoki v dan padca tvojega, da, otoki daleč na morju bodo prestrašeni ob tvojem koncu.

¹⁸Now shall the islands tremble in the day of your fall; yes, the islands that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your departure.

¹⁹Zakaj tako pravi Gospod Jehova: Ko te naredim v mesto opustošeno, enako mestom, ki v njih ne stanujejo več, ko pripeljem nadte povodenj in te pokrijejo velike vode,

¹⁹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep on you, and the great waters shall cover you;

²⁰tedaj te pahnem doli k njim, ki gredo v jamo, k ljudstvu starodavnemu, in storim, da boš prebival v spodnjih krajih zemlje, v razvalinah od starodavnega, ž njimi vred, ki so šli v jamo, da ti ne ostane prebivalcev; a slavo postavim v deželi živečih.V strahoto te naredim, in ne bode te več; in iskali te bodo, a ne najdejo te nikdar več, govori Gospod Jehova.

²⁰then will I bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you to dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living:

²¹V strahoto te naredim, in ne bode te več; in iskali te bodo, a ne najdejo te nikdar več, govori Gospod Jehova.

²¹I will make you a terror, and you shall no more have any being; though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again, says the Lord Yahweh.
