1In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: (Eze 20:1)2“Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,’ (Isa 23:1; Eze 2:1; Eze 25:3; Eze 36:2)3therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. (Jer 34:1; La 2:13; Eze 13:8; Eze 32:3)4They shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers, and I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock. (Eze 24:7)5She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for the spreading of nets, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. And she shall become plunder for the nations, (Eze 17:24; Eze 47:10)6and her daughters on the mainland shall be killed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord. (Eze 6:7)7“For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar[1] king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers. (Ezr 7:12; Jer 1:14; Eze 29:18; Da 2:37; Ho 8:10)8He will kill with the sword your daughters on the mainland. He will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise a roof of shields against you. (2Ki 19:32; Eze 4:2; Eze 26:6)9He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. (Eze 4:2; Eze 21:22)10His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached.11With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.12They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters. (Eze 26:4; Eze 27:12)13And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more. (Isa 5:12; Isa 23:16; Isa 24:8; Jer 7:34; Jer 16:9)14I will make you a bare rock. You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, for I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God. (Eze 26:4; Eze 26:5)15“Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? (Jer 51:52; Eze 27:35)16Then all the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground and tremble every moment and be appalled at you. (Isa 3:26; Isa 23:8; Eze 27:35; Eze 32:10; Jon 3:6)17And they will raise a lamentation over you and say to you, “‘How you have perished, you who were inhabited from the seas, O city renowned, who was mighty on the sea; she and her inhabitants imposed their terror on all her inhabitants! (Isa 23:4; Eze 19:1; Eze 27:2; Eze 27:32; Eze 32:23; Re 18:9)18Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall, and the coastlands that are on the sea are dismayed at your passing.’19“For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you, (Eze 26:3; Eze 27:34)20then I will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty in the land of the living. (Ps 27:13; Eze 31:14; Eze 31:16; Eze 32:18; Eze 32:23; Eze 32:24; Eze 32:27; Eze 32:32)21I will bring you to a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. Though you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord God.” (Ps 37:36; Eze 27:36; Eze 28:19)
1In the eleventh month of the twelfth[1] year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:2‘Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, “Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,”3therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves.4They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock.5Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishing nets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. She will become plunder for the nations,6and 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[2] king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with horsemen and a great army.8He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp up to your walls and raise his shields against you.9He will direct the blows of his battering-rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons.10His 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 when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.11The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.12They 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.13I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more.14I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.15‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: will not the coastlands tremble at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan and the slaughter takes place in you?16Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled at you.17Then they will take up a lament 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.18Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall; the islands in the sea are terrified at your collapse.”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 over you and its vast waters cover you,20then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, 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[3] in the land of the living.21I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more. You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.’
1It was the first day of the 11th month. It was the 12th year since King Jehoiachin had been brought to Babylon as a prisoner. A message from the LORD came to me. The LORD said,2‘Son of man, Tyre laughed because of what happened to Jerusalem. The people of Tyre said, “Jerusalem is the gateway to the nations. But the gate is broken. Its doors have swung open to us. Jerusalem has been destroyed. So now we will succeed.” ’3The LORD and King says, ‘But I am against you, Tyre. I will bring many nations against you. They will come in like the waves of the sea.4They will destroy your walls. They will pull down your towers. I will clear away the stones of your broken-down buildings. I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock.5Out in the Mediterranean Sea your island city will become a place to spread fishing nets. I have spoken,’ announces the LORD and King. ‘The nations will take you and everything you have.6Your settlements on the coast will be destroyed by war. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’7The LORD and King says, ‘From the north I am going to bring Nebuchadnezzar against Tyre. He is the king of Babylon. He is the greatest king of all. He will come with horses and chariots. Horsemen and a great army will be brought along with him.8He will go to war against you. He will destroy your settlements on the coast. He will bring in war machines to attack you. A ramp will be built up to your walls. He will raise his shields against you.9He will use huge logs to knock down your walls. He will destroy your towers with his weapons.10He will have so many horses that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will shake because of the noise of his war horses, wagons and chariots. He will enter your gates, just as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.11The hooves of his horses will pound in your streets. His swords will kill your people. Your strong pillars will fall to the ground.12His men will take away from you your wealth and anything else you have. They will pull down your walls. They will completely destroy your fine houses. They will throw the stones and lumber of your broken-down buildings into the sea.13I will put an end to your noisy songs. No one will hear the music of your harps anymore.14I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock. You will become a place to spread fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt. I have spoken. I am the LORD,’ announces the LORD and King.15The LORD and King speaks to Tyre. He says, ‘The lands along the coast will shake because of the sound of your fall. Wounded people will groan because so many are dying there.16Then all the princes along the coast will step down from their thrones. They will put their robes away. They will take off their beautiful clothes. They will sit on the ground. They will put on terror as if it were their clothes. They will tremble with fear all the time. They will be shocked because of what has happened to you.17Then they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say to you, ‘ “Famous city, you have been completely destroyed! You were filled with sea traders. You and your citizens were a mighty power on the seas. You terrified everyone who lived in you.18The lands along the coast trembled with fear when you fell. The islands in the sea were terrified when you were destroyed.” ’19The LORD and King says to Tyre, ‘I will turn you into an empty city. You will be like cities where no one lives anymore. I will cause the ocean to sweep over you. Its mighty waters will cover you.20So I will bring you down together with those who go down into the grave. The people there lived long ago. You will have to live in the earth below. It will be like living in buildings that were destroyed many years ago. You will go down into the grave along with others. And you will never come back. You will not take your place in this world again.21I will bring you to a horrible end. You will be gone for ever. People will look for you. But they will never find you,’ announces the LORD and King.
Ezekiel 26
King James Version
1And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:3Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.4And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.5It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it , saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.6And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.7For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.8He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.9And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.10By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.11With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.12And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.13And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.14And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it , saith the Lord GOD.15Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?16Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee. pa17And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!18Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.19For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;20When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;21I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more : though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
1Es geschah im elften Jahr am ersten Tag des Monats, da erging das Wort des HERRN an mich:2Menschensohn, weil Tyrus über Jerusalem sagte: Ha, das Tor zu den Völkern ist zerbrochen; es fällt mir zu. Ich kann mich mästen; sie ist verwüstet!, (Isa 23:1; Eze 25:3; Eze 36:2; Am 1:9)3darum - so spricht GOTT, der Herr:
Siehe, jetzt gehe ich gegen dich vor, Tyrus, / und lasse viele Völker gegen dich anbranden, /
wie das Meer seine Wogen anbranden lässt.4Sie zerstören die Mauern von Tyrus / und seine Türme reißen sie ein.
Sein Erdreich schwemme ich weg, / zum nackten Felsen mache ich es.5Ein Platz zum Trocknen der Netze / wird es mitten im Meer;
denn ich habe gesprochen - Spruch GOTTES, des Herrn. / Es wird eine Beute der Nationen.6Seine Töchter auf dem Festland / werden vom Schwert erschlagen.
Dann wird man erkennen, / dass ich der HERR bin.7Denn so spricht GOTT, der Herr:
Siehe, ich führe Nebukadnezzar, den König von Babel, / den König der Könige,
von Norden gegen Tyrus heran, / mit Rossen und Wagen und Reitern,
mit einem großen Aufgebot, / einem gewaltigen Heer. (Jer 27:6; Jer 46:26; Eze 29:17)8Deine Töchter auf dem Festland / wird er mit dem Schwert erschlagen.
Er baut dir gegenüber einen Belagerungswall, / schüttet einen Damm gegen dich auf
und errichtet ein Schilddach. (2Ki 25:1; Eze 4:1; Eze 21:27)9Seinen Sturmbock setzt er an
zum Stoß gegen deine Mauern, / deine Türme reißt er mit seinem Brecheisen ein.10Ihre Staubwolke wird dich bedecken, / so viele Pferde hat er.
Unter dem Dröhnen der Reiter und Räder und Wagen / erzittern deine Mauern,
wenn er durch deine Tore eindringt, wie man eindringt / in eine Stadt voller Breschen.11Mit den Hufen seiner Pferde / zerstampft er all deine Straßen.
Mit dem Schwert erschlägt er dein Volk / und deine mächtigen Säulen stürzt er zu Boden.12Sie plündern deinen Besitz / und rauben dir deine Waren.
Deine Mauern reißen sie ein. / Sie zerstören die prächtigen Bauten.
Deine Steine, deine Balken, deinen ganzen Schutt / werfen sie mitten ins Wasser.13So mache ich deinen lärmenden Liedern ein Ende, / vom Klang deiner Zithern ist nichts mehr zu hören. (Isa 24:8; Jer 25:10; Am 5:23; Re 18:22)14Zum nackten Felsen mache ich dich. / Du wirst ein Platz zum Trocknen der Netze.
Man baut dich nie wieder auf; / denn ich, der HERR, habe gesprochen - Spruch GOTTES, des Herrn.15So spricht GOTT, der Herr, zu Tyrus: Ist es nicht so, dass die Inseln erzittern beim Getöse deines Sturzes, beim Gestöhn der zu Tode Getroffenen, beim mörderischen Blutbad in deiner Mitte?16Dann steigen alle Fürsten des Meeres von ihren Thronen herab, sie legen ihre Mäntel ab und ziehen ihre bunt gewebten Kleider aus. Sie hüllen sich in Schrecken und setzen sich auf den Boden; immer wieder erfasst sie ein Zittern und sie sind entsetzt über dich. (Jon 3:6)17Sie stimmen die Totenklage über dich an und sagen zu dir:
Ach, wie bist du zerstört, / die bewohnt war vom Meer her,
die ruhmreiche Stadt, / einst eine Macht auf dem Meer,
sie und ihre Bewohner, / die durch alle ihre Bewohner Schrecken verbreitete. (Re 18:9)18Nun aber entsetzen sich die Inseln / am Tag deines Sturzes.
Bestürzt sind die Inseln im Meer / über dein Ende. (Isa 41:5)19Denn so spricht GOTT, der Herr: Ich mache dich zur verwüsteten Stadt; dann wirst du wie die Städte sein, die nicht mehr bewohnt sind. Die Urflut lasse ich steigen, sodass gewaltige Wassermassen dich zudecken.20Ich stoße dich zu denen hinab, die in die Grube gesunken sind, zum Volk der Vorzeit. Ich weise dir einen Wohnsitz zu in den Tiefen der Erde, wie ewige Trümmer, bei denen, die in die Grube gesunken sind, damit du nicht mehr bewohnt wirst. Aber im Land der Lebenden gebe ich eine Zierde. (Isa 14:11; Eze 31:14; Eze 32:18)21Zu einem Bild des Schreckens mache ich dich. Du bist nicht mehr da, und wer dich sucht, wird dich in Ewigkeit nicht finden - Spruch GOTTES, des Herrn. (Eze 27:36; Eze 28:19; Re 18:21)
