1 و َأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

2 « يا إنْسانُ، أنْشِدْ أُغنِيَّةَ حُزنٍ عَلَى مَدِينَةِ صُورَ.

And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,

3 ق ُلْ لِصُورَ الّتِي تَجلِسُ عِندَ بَوّاباتِ البَحرِ كَتاجِرَةٍ للِمُدُنِ السّاحِلِيَّةِ. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «‹يا صُورُ، أنتِ قُلْتِ: أنا أجمَلُ مَدِينَةٍ.

and say unto Tyre: O thou that art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.

4 ح ُدودُكِ تَمتَدُّ عَبرَ البَحرِ، وَبَنّاؤُوكِ جَعَلُوا جَمالَكِ كامِلاً.

Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

5 ا ستَخدَمَ بَنّاؤُوكِ خَشَبَ السَّروِ الَّذِي مِنْ جَبَلِ سَنِيرَ لِصُنعِ ألواحِكِ، وَأخَذُوا مِنْ أرْزِ لُبنانَ لِصُنعِ سارِيَتِكِ.

They made all thy double boards of cypress-trees of Senir; they took cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.

6 ا سْتَخْدَمُوا بَلُّوطَ باشانَ لِصُنعِ مَجاذِيفَ، وَصَنَعُوا حُجْرَةَ قِيادَتِكَ مِنْ سَرْوٍ مِنْ قُبرُصَ، وَزَيَّنُوها بِالعاجِ.

Of the oaks of Bashan did they make thine oars; they made thy benches of ivory, inlaid in box-wood, out of the isles of Chittim.

7 ا ستَخْدَمُوا كِتاناً مُطَرَّزاً مَصرِيّاً لِصُنعِ أشرِعَتِكِ، وَصَنَعُوا مِظَلَّتَكِ مِنْ أقمِشَةٍ زَرقاءَ وَقُرمُزِيَّةٍ مِنْ شَواطِئِ ألِيشَةَ.

Byssus with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, to serve thee for a banner; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning.

8 ك انَ سُكّانُ صِيدُونَ وَإرْوادَ مَلّاحِيكِ، وَكانَ رِجالُكِ الماهِرِينَ يا صُورُ، بَحّارَتَكِ،

The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise men, O Tyre, who were in thee, were thy pilots.

9 ا لَّذِينَ يَسُدُّونَ ثَغَراتِكِ حِرَفِيُّونَ مَهَرَةٌ مِنْ جُبَيلَ. وَكُلُّ سُفُنِ البَحرِ وَبَحّارُوها كانُوا فِيكِ يُدِيرُونَ أعمالَهُمْ وَيَبِيعُونَ بَضائِعَكِ.

The elders of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee repairing thy leaks; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee, to barter with thee.

10 « ‹جُنُودٌ مِنْ فارِسَ، وَإرْوادَ وَفُوطَ خَدَمُوا فِي جَيشِكِ، وَأضافُوا إلَى جَمالِكِ بِتَعلِيقِ تُرُوسِهِمْ وَخُوَذِهِمْ عَلَى أسوارِكِ!

Persia and Lud and Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged shield and helmet in thee; they gave splendour to thee.

11 ر ِجالٌ مِنْ إرْوادَ وَجُنُودُكِ يَحرُسُونَ أسوارَكِ، وَقَدْ عَلَّقُوا تُرُوسَهُمْ عَلَى أسوارِكِ حَولَ كُلِّ المَدِينَةِ. وَرِجالٌ مِنْ جَمَدَ وَقَفُوا حُرّاساً فِي أبْراجِكِ. وَقَدْ أضافُوا إلَى جَمالِكِ وَجَلالِكِ.

The children of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were on thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they made thy beauty perfect.

12 « ‹رِجالٌ مِنْ تَرْشِيشَ كانُوا تُجّارَكِ. وَكانُوا يَتَعامَلُونَ بِكُلِّ بَضائِعِ ثَروَتِهِمْ: الفِضَّةِ وَالحَدِيدِ وَالقَصدِيرِ وَالرَّصاصِ.

Tarshish dealt with thee by reason of the abundance of all substance; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they furnished thy markets.

Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy traffickers: they bartered with thee the persons of men, and vessels of bronze.

They of the house of Togarmah furnished thy markets with horses, and horsemen, and mules.

15 و َأُناسٌ مِنْ رُودُسَ وَشَواطِئَ كَثِيرَةٍ كانُوا وُكَلاءَكِ. فَكانُوا يَزِيدُونَ دَخلَكِ بِبَيعِ قُرُونِ العاجِ وَخَشبِ الآبْنُوسِ.

The children of Dedan were thy traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand: they rendered in payment horns of ivory, and ebony.

16 و َتاجَرَتْ أرامُ مَعَكِ، آخِذَةً مِنكِ الأشياءَ الَّتِي تَصنَعِينَها مُقابِلَ الزُمُرُّدِ وَالأقمِشَةِ القُرمُزِيَّةِ وَالمُطَرَّزَةِ وَالكِتّانِ النّاعِمِ وَالمَرجانِ وَالياقُوتِ.

Syria dealt with thee for the multitude of thy handiworks: they traded in thy markets with carbuncles, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies.

17 « ‹وَيَهُوذا وَإسْرائِيلُ كانَتا تَأخُذُانِ بَضائِعَكِ مُقابِلَ القَمحِ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ مِنِّيثَ وَالزَّبِيبِ وَالعَسَلِ وَالزَّيتِ وَالبَلَسانِ.

Judah and the land of Israel were thy traffickers: they bartered with thee wheat of Minnith, and sweet cakes, and honey, and oil, and balm.

18 و َكانَتْ دِمَشقُ تَأخُذُ الأشياءَ الَّتِي تَصنَعِينَها مُقابِلَ خَمرٍ مِنْ حَلْبُونَ وَصُوفٍ أبيَضَ.

Damascus dealt with thee because of the multitude of thy handiworks, by reason of the abundance of all substance, with wine of Helbon, and white wool.

19 و َكانَ أهلُ دانَ وَياوانَ الَّذينَ مِنْ أوزالَ مِنْ وُكَلائِكِ الَّذِينَ أخَذُوا بَضائِعَكِ وَأعطُوكِ حَدِيداً مَشغُولاً وَقِرفَةً وَقَصَباً.

Vedan and Javan of Uzal traded in thy markets: wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were in thy traffic.

20 و َأعطاكِ تُجّارُ دَدانَ أقمِشَةَ سُرُوجِ الخَيلِ.

21 و سَيْطَرْتِ عَلَى تُجّارِ العَرَبِ وَشُيُوخِ قِيدارَ الَّذِينَ أعطُوكِ خِرافاً وَكِباشاً وَماعِزاً مُقابِلَ بَضائِعِكِ.

Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were the merchants of thy hand: in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these did they trade with thee.

22 و َتُجّارُ سَبَأَ وَرَعْمَةَ أخَذُوا بَضائِعَ مِنْكِ مُقابِلَ أفضَلِ التَّوابِلِ وَالحِجارَةِ الكَرِيمَةِ وَالذَّهَبِ.

The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were thy traffickers: they furnished thy markets with all the choice spices, and with all precious stones and gold.

Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with thee:

these traded with thee in sumptuous clothes, in wrappings of blue and broidered work, and in chests full of variegated stuffs, bound with cords and made of cedar-wood, amongst thy merchandise.

25 س ُفُنُ الشَّحنِ الكَبِيرَةِ تَنقُلُ كُلَّ بَضائِعِكِ، «‹وَلِذا امتَلأْتِ بِالبَضائِعِ وَنِلْتِ كَرامَةً عَظِيمَةً فِي وَسَطِ البَحرِ.

The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy traffic; and thou wast replenished, and highly honoured, in the heart of the seas.

26 أ خرَجَ المَلّاحُونَ سُفُنَكِ إلَى البِحارِ العالِيَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ إعصاراً مِنَ الشَّرقِ حَطَّمَها فِي وَسَطِ البَحرِ.

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.

27 ث َرْوَتُكِ وَسِلَعُكِ وَبَضائِعُكِ وَبَحّارُوكِ وَمَلّاحُوكِ وَنَجّارُوكِ وَتُجّارُكِ وَجُنُودُكِ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَكِ سَيَغرَقُونَ فِي أعماقِ البِحارِ حِينَ يأتي يَومُ دَمارِكِ.

Thy substance, and thy markets, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, they that repair thy leaks, and they that barter with thee, and all thy men of war that are in thee, along with all thine assemblage which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall.

28 و َحِينَ يَصرُخُ مَلّاحُوكِ فِي البَحرِ سَتَرتَجِفُ قُراكَ الَّتِي عَلَى اليابِسَةِ.

The open places shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

29 و َلِذا سَيَترُكُ المَلّاحُونَ السَفَرَ، وَسَيَقِفُ كُلُّ العامِلِينَ فِي البَحرِ عَلَى الشّاطِئِ.

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land,

30 و َسَيَبكُونَ وَيَنُوحونَ عَلَيكِ. سَيُعَفِّرُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ بِالتُّرابِ، وَيَتَمرَّغُونَ فِي الرَّمادِ.

and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly; and they shall cast up dust upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in ashes.

31 س َيَحلِقُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَيَلبِسُونَ الخَيشَ. وَسَيَبكُونَ وَيَنُوحُونَ بِمَرارَةٍ عَلَى زَوالِكِ.

And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.

32 س َيَكتُبُونَ عَنكِ أغانيَ حَزِينَةً، وَسَيُرَدِّدُونَ المَراثي عَلَيكِ: «‹لَيسَ مِثلَ صُورَ الجّالِسَةِ عِندَ البَحرِ!

And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, Who is like Tyre, like her that is destroyed in the midst of the sea?

33 ح ِينَ كانَتْ سُفُنُكِ التِّجارِيَّةُ تَسِيرُ فِي البَحرِ، كُنتِ تُشبِعِينَ شُعُوباً كَثِيرةً. كَثرَةُ بَضائِعِكِ أغنَتْ مُلُوكاً فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

When thy wares went forth over the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy substance and of thy merchandise.

34 ل َكِنْ حِينَ تَتَحَطَّمِينَ فِي عُمقِ البِحارِ، فَإنَّ كُلَّ بَضائِعِكِ وَالمُسافِرِينَ عَلَيها سَيَهلَكُونَ.

In the time thou art broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thine assemblage in the midst of thee have fallen.

35 ص ُعِقَ كُلُّ سُكّانِ الشَّواطِئِ لِدَمارِكِ. وَمُلُوكُهُمْ مَذهُولُونَ وَمُرْتَعِبُونَ.

All the inhabitants of the isles are amazed at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, countenance is troubled.

36 ي َتَنَهَّدُ تُجّارُكِ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ عَلَيكِ. صِرتِ دَماراً رَهِيباً، وَلَنْ تَعُودِي إلَى ما كُنتِ عَلَيهِ أبَداً.›»

The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
