1 E veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

2 Tu pois, ó filho do homem, levanta uma lamentação sobre Tiro.

3 E dize a Tiro, que habita nas entradas do mar, e negocia com os povos em muitas ilhas: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ó Tiro, tu dizes: Eu sou perfeita em formosura.

4 No coração dos mares estão os teus termos; os que te edificaram aperfeiçoaram a tua formosura.

5 Fabricaram todos os teus conveses de faias de Senir; trouxeram cedros do Líbano para te fazerem mastros.

6 Fizeram os teus remos de carvalhos de Basã; os teus bancos fizeram-nos de marfim engastado em buxo das ilhas dos quiteus.

7 Linho fino bordado do Egito era a tua cortina, para te servir de vela; azul e púrpura das ilhas de Elisá era a tua cobertura.

8 Os moradores de Sidom e de Arvade foram os teus remadores; os teus sábios, ó Tiro, que se achavam em ti, esses foram os teus pilotos.

9 Os anciãos de Gebal e seus sábios foram em ti os que consertavam as tuas fendas; todos os navios do mar e os marinheiros se acharam em ti, para tratarem dos teus negócios.

10 Os persas, e os lídios, e os de Pute eram no teu exército os teus soldados; escudos e capacetes penduraram em ti; eles manifestaram a tua beleza.

11 Os filhos de Arvade e o teu exército estavam sobre os teus muros em redor, e os gamaditas nas tuas torres; penduravam os seus escudos nos teus muros em redor; eles aperfeiçoavam a tua formosura.

12 Társis negociava contigo, por causa da abundância de toda a casta de riquezas; com prata, ferro, estanho e chumbo, negociavam em tuas feiras.

13 Javã, Tubal e Meseque eram teus mercadores; em troca das tuas mercadorias davam pessoas de homens e objetos de bronze.

14 Os da casa de Togarma trocavam pelas tuas mercadorias, cavalos, e cavaleiros e mulos.

15 Os filhos de Dedã eram os teus mercadores; muitas ilhas eram o comércio da tua mão; dentes de marfim e pau de ébano tornavam a dar-te em presente.

16 A Síria negociava contigo por causa da multidão das tuas manufaturas; pelas tuas mercadorias davam esmeralda, púrpura, obra bordada, linho fino, corais e ágata.

17 Judá e a terra de Israel, eram os teus mercadores; pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam trigo de Minite, e Panague, e mel, azeite e bálsamo.

18 Damasco negociava contigo, por causa da multidão das tuas obras, por causa da abundância de toda a sorte de riqueza, dando em troca vinho de Helbom e lã branca.

19 Também Dã e Javã, de Uzal, pelas tuas mercadorias, davam em troca ferro trabalhado, cássia e cálamo aromático, que assim entravam no teu comércio.

20 Dedã negociava contigo com panos preciosos para carros.

21 A Arábia, e todos os príncipes de Quedar, eram mercadores ao teu serviço, com cordeiros, carneiros e bodes; nestas coisas negociavam contigo.

22 Os mercadores de Sabá e Raamá eram os teus mercadores; em todos os seus mais finos aromas, em toda a pedra preciosa e ouro, negociaram nas tuas feiras.

23 Harã, e Cane e Éden, os mercadores de Sabá, Assur e Quilmade negociavam contigo.

24 Estes eram teus mercadores em roupas escolhidas, em pano de azul, e bordados, e em cofres de roupas preciosas, amarrados com cordas e feitos de cedros, entre tua mercadoria.

25 Os navios de Társis eram as tuas caravanas que traziam tuas mercadorias; e te encheste, e te glorificaste muito no meio dos mares.

26 Os teus remadores te conduziram sobre grandes águas; o vento oriental te quebrou no meio dos mares.

27 As tuas riquezas, as tuas feiras, e tuas mercadorias, os teus marinheiros, os teus pilotos, os que consertavam as tuas fendas, os que faziam os teus negócios, e todos os teus soldados, que estão em ti, juntamente com toda a tua companhia, que está no meio de ti, cairão no meio dos mares no dia da tua queda,

28 Ao estrondo da gritaria dos teus pilotos tremerão os arrabaldes.

29 E todos os que pegam no remo, os marinheiros, e todos os pilotos do mar descerão de seus navios, e pararão em terra.

30 E farão ouvir a sua voz sobre ti, e gritarão amargamente; e lançarão pó sobre as cabeças, e na cinza se revolverão.

31 E far-se-ão calvos por tua causa, e cingir-se-ão de sacos, e chorarão sobre ti com amargura de alma, e com amarga lamentação.

32 E no seu pranto levantarão uma lamentação sobre ti, e lamentarão sobre ti, dizendo: Quem foi como Tiro, como a que foi destruída no meio do mar?

33 Quando as tuas mercadorias saiam pelos mares, fartaste a muitos povos; com a multidão das tuas riquezas e do teu negócio, enriqueceste os reis da terra.

34 No tempo em que foste quebrantada pelos mares, nas profundezas das águas, caíram, no meio de ti, os teus negócios e toda a tua companhia.

35 Todos os moradores das ilhas estão a teu respeito cheios de espanto; e os seus reis tremeram sobremaneira, e ficaram perturbados nos seus rostos;

36 Os mercadores dentre os povos assobiaram contra ti; tu te tornaste em grande espanto, e jamais subsistirá.

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;

3 And say unto Tyre, O you that are situated at the entrance of the sea, which are a merchant of the people for many coastlands, Thus says the Lord GOD; O Tyre, you have said, I am of perfect beauty.

4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.

5 They have made all your ship planks of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you.

6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars; the company of Ashurites have made your planks of inlaid ivory, brought out of the coasts of Kittim.

7 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which you spread forth to be your sail; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was that which covered you.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your mariners: your wise men, O Tyre, that were in you, were your pilots.

9 The elders of Gebal and its wise men were in you as your caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their oarsmen were in you to market your merchandise.

10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.

11 The men of Arvad with your army were upon your walls round about, and the Gammadim were in your towers: they hung their shields upon your walls round about; they have made your beauty perfect.

12 Tarshish was your merchant because of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in your wares.

13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze in your market.

14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in your wares with horses and horsemen and mules.

15 The men of Dedan were your merchants; many coastlands were the markets of your hand: they brought you for a present tusks of ivory and ebony.

16 Syria was your merchant because of the multitude of the wares of your making: they traded in your wares with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your merchants: they traded in your market wheat from Minnith, and olives, and honey, and oil, and balm.

18 Damascus was your merchant in the multitude of the wares of your making, for the multitude of great wealth; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

19 Dedan also and Javan going to and fro traded in your wares: wrought iron, cassia, and calamus, were in your market.

20 Dedan was your merchant in saddle blankets for riding.

21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they traded with you in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they your merchants.

22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were your merchants: they traded in your fairs with the best of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.

23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were your merchants.

24 These were your merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in rugs of many colors, bound with cords, and made secure, among your merchandise.

25 The ships of Tarshish were carriers for you in your market: and you were filled, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas.

27 Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your caulkers, and the traders of your merchandise, and all your men of war, that are in you, and in all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of your ruin.

28 The pasture lands shall shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

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

30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow in the ashes:

31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, What city is like Tyre, like that destroyed in the midst of the sea?

33 When your wares went forth out on the seas, you filled many people; you did enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.

34 In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall.

35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be greatly afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.

36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at you; you shall become a terror, and never shall be any more.
