1 De novo veio a mim a palavra de Jeová, dizendo:
2 Tu, pois, filho do homem, faze uma lamentação sobre Tiro;
3 dize a Tiro: Ó tu que habitas na entrada do mar, e negocias com os povos em muitas ilhas, assim diz o Senhor Jeová: Tu, ó Tiro, disseste: Eu sou perfeita em formosura.
4 No coração dos mares estão os teus termos, os que te edificaram aperfeiçoaram a tua formosura.
5 De ciprestes de Senir fizeram todas as tuas tábuas; tomaram do Líbano cedros para te fazerem um mastro.
6 De carvalhos de Basã fizeram os teus remos; e os teus bancos fizeram-nos de marfim engastado em buxo das ilhas de quiteus.
7 De linho fino do Egito, tecido em bordadura, era a tua vela, para te servir de estandarte; azul e púrpura das ilhas de Elisá era o teu pavilhão.
8 Os habitantes de Sidom e de Arvade eram os teus remadores; os teus sábios, ó Tiro, achavam-se em ti, eles eram os teus pilotos.
9 Os anciãos de Gebal e os seus sábios eram em ti os teus calafates; todos os navios do mar com os seus marinheiros se achavam em ti para transportarem as tuas mercadorias.
10 Pérsia e Lude e Pute achavam-se em teu exército, teus homens de guerra; penduraram em ti os seus escudos e os seus capacetes; manifestaram a tua glória.
11 Os homens de Arvade com o teu exército estavam sobre os teus muros ao redor, e os gamaditas nas tuas torres; penduraram os seus escudos à roda dos teus muros; eles aperfeiçoaram a tua formosura.
12 Társis era a que negociava contigo por causa da multidão de toda a casta de riquezas; trocavam pelas tuas mercadorias prata, ferro, estanho e chumbo.
13 Javã, Tubal e Meseque eram os teus mercadores; pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam as pessoas de homens e vasos de cobre.
14 Os da casa de Togarma trocavam pelas tuas mercadorias cavalos e ginetes e machos.
15 Os homens de Dedã eram os teus mercadores; muitas ilhas eram o mercado das tuas manufaturas; tornavam a trazer-te em troca dentes de marfim e pau de ébano.
16 A Síria negociava contigo por causa da multidão das tuas manufaturas; pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam esmeraldas, púrpura, obras bordadas, linho fino, coral e rubis.
17 Judá e a terra de Israel eram os teus mercadores; pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam o trigo de Minite, e confeitos, e mel, e azeite, e bálsamo.
18 Por causa da multidão das tuas manufaturas, por causa da multidão de toda a casta de riquezas, Damasco negociava contigo em vinho de Helbom e em lã branca.
19 Vedã e Javã pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam lã fiada; ferro polido, cássia e cálamo achavam-se entre as tuas mercadorias.
20 Dedã negociava contigo em suadouros para cavalgar.
21 A Arábia e todos os príncipes de Quedar eram mercadores ao teu serviço; em cordeiros, carneiros e cabritos, nestas coisas negociavam contigo.
22 Os mercadores de Sabá e de Raamá eram teus mercadores; pelas tuas mercadorias trocavam as melhores de todas as especiarias e todas as pedras preciosas e o ouro.
23 Harã, Cane e Éden, mercadores de Sabá, Assur e Quilmade eram teus mercadores.
24 Estes eram os que no teu mercado traficavam contigo em mercadorias escolhidas, em panos de azul e de obra bordada, em cofres de roupas preciosas, amarrados com corda e fabricados de cedro.
25 Os navios de Társis eram as tuas caravanas para a tua mercadoria; e te encheste e te glorificaste muito no coração dos mares.
26 Os teus remeiros te conduziram para grandes águas; o vento oriental te quebrou no coração dos mares.
27 As tuas riquezas, os teus bens, as tuas mercadorias, os teus marinheiros, os teus pilotos, os teus calafates, os que faziam o teu negócio, e todos os teus homens de guerra, que estão em ti, juntamente com toda a tua companhia que está no meio de ti, cairão no coração dos mares no dia da tua ruína.
28 Ao estrondo da gritaria dos teus pilotos se turbaram os arrabaldes.
29 Todos os que pegam no remo, os marinheiros, e todos os pilotos do mar, descerão dos seus navios, e pararão em terra,
30 e farão ouvir sobre ti a sua voz, e gritarão amargamente, e lançarão pó sobre as suas cabeças, e na cinza se revolverão;
31 far-se-ão calvos por causa de ti, e cingir-se-ão de sacos, e com amargo pranto chorarão por ti em amargura de alma.
32 No seu pranto farão uma lamentação sobre ti, e te lamentarão, dizendo: Quem há como Tiro, como a que se acha reduzida ao silêncio no meio do mar?
33 Quando as tuas mercadorias procediam dos mares, encheste muitos povos; pela multidão das tuas riquezas e das tuas mercadorias enriqueceste os reis da terra.
34 No tempo em que foste quebrada pelos mares nas profundezas das águas, caíram no meio de ti as tuas mercadorias e toda a tua companhia.
35 Todos os habitantes das ilhas estão a teu respeito cheios de espanto, e os seus reis estão sobremaneira amedrontados; turbados estão de rosto.
36 Os mercadores dentre os povos te dão vaias; tu te tornas em pavor, e tu não subsistirás mais.
1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, 2 "You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre; 3 and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord Yahweh says:
"You, Tyre, have said,
‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They have made all your planks of cypress trees from Senir.
They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan.
They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in cypress wood from the islands of Kittim.
7 Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt,
that it might be to you for a banner.
Blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers.
Your wise men, Tyre, were in you.
They were your pilots.
9 The old men of Gebal
and its wise men were your repairers of ship seams in you.
All the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
to deal in your merchandise.
10 "‘"Persia, Lud, and Put were in your army,
your men of war.
They hung the shield and helmet in you.
They showed your beauty.
11 The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
and valiant men were in your towers.
They hung their shields on your walls all around.
They have perfected your beauty.
12 "‘"Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches. They traded for your wares with silver, iron, tin, and lead.
13 "‘"Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
14 "‘"They of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, war horses, and mules.
15 "‘"The men of Dedan traded with you. Many islands were the market of your hand. They brought you horns of ivory and ebony in exchange.
16 "‘"Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks. They traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies.
17 "‘"Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded wheat of Minnith, confections, honey, oil, and balm for your merchandise.
18 "‘"Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19 "‘"Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were among your merchandise.
20 "‘"Dedan was your merchant in precious saddle blankets for riding.
21 "‘"Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favorite dealers in lambs, rams, and goats. In these, they were your merchants.
22 "‘"The traders of Sheba and Raamah were your traders. They traded for your wares with the best of all spices, all precious stones, and gold.
23 "‘"Haran, Canneh, Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were your traders. 24 These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in cedar chests of rich clothing bound with cords, among your merchandise.
25 "‘"The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise.
You were replenished
and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters.
The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your mariners, your pilots, your repairers of ship seams,
the dealers in your merchandise,
and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your company which is among you,
will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots,
the pasture lands will shake.
29 All who handle the oars,
the mariners and all the pilots of the sea,
will come down from their ships.
They will stand on the land,
30 and will cause their voice to be heard over you,
and will cry bitterly.
They will cast up dust on their heads.
They will wallow in the ashes.
31 They will make themselves bald for you,
and clothe themselves with sackcloth.
They will weep for you in bitterness of soul,
with bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you,
and lament over you, saying,
‘Who is there like Tyre,
like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea?’
33 When your wares came from the seas,
you filled many peoples.
You enriched the kings of the earth
with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
34 In the time that you were broken by the seas,
in the depths of the waters,
your merchandise and all your company fell within you.
35 All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you,
and their kings are horribly afraid.
They are troubled in their face.
36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you.
You have come to a terrible end,
and you will be no more."’"
