σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν τῷ ἄρχοντι Τύρου τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὑψώθη σου ἡ καρδία καὶ εἶπας θεός εἰμι ἐγώ κατοικίαν θεοῦ κατῴκηκα ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης σὺ δὲ εἶ ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐ θεὸς καὶ ἔδωκας τὴν καρδίαν σου ὡς καρδίαν θεοῦ
And you, son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre: Thus says the Lord: because your heart has been exalted and you said, I am God, I have dwelt in the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea, yet you are a man and not God, and you have given your heart as the heart of God.
Are you wiser than Daniel? The wise did not instruct you with their knowledge.
ἐν τῇ ἐπιστήμῃ σου ἢ ἐν τῇ φρονήσει σου ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ δύναμιν καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς σου
By your knowledge or by your prudence you have made for yourself power and gold and silver in your treasures
By your great knowledge and your trade you increased your power; your heart was lifted up in your power.
Therefore thus says the Lord: since you have given your heart as the heart of God
τούτου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ἀλλοτρίους λοιμοὺς ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν καὶ ἐκκενώσουσιν τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλος τῆς ἐπιστήμης σου καὶ στρώσουσιν τὸ κάλλος σου εἰς ἀπώλειαν
Therefore behold, I am bringing upon you foreign plagues from the nations, and they shall empty out their swords against you, and against the beauty of your knowledge, and they shall lay your beauty low into destruction
And they shall bring you down, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea
Will you still say, I am God, before those who kill you? But you are a man and not God, in the multitude of the…
You will die by the hands of foreigners, as one uncircumcised, because I have spoken, says the Lord
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying
ἀνθρώπου λαβὲ θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα Τύρου καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος σὺ ἀποσφράγισμα ὁμοιώσεως καὶ στέφανος κάλλους
Son of man, take up a lamentation over the ruler of Tyre, and say to him: Thus says the Lord Lord: You are the seal of likeness and the crown of beauty
τῇ τρυφῇ τοῦ παραδείσου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγενήθης πᾶν λίθον χρηστὸν ἐνδέδεσαι σάρδιον καὶ τοπάζιον καὶ σμάραγδον καὶ ἄνθρακα καὶ σάπφειρον καὶ ἴασπιν καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ λιγύριον καὶ ἀχάτην καὶ ἀμέθυστον καὶ χρυσόλιθον καὶ βηρύλλιον καὶ ὀνύχιον καὶ χρυσίου ἐνέπλησας τοὺς θησαυρούς σου καὶ τὰς ἀποθήκας σου ἐν σοὶ ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐκτίσθης σύ
In the delight of the paradise of God you were born; every precious stone you were bound with: sardius and topaz and emerald and carbuncle and sapphire and jasper and silver and gold and ligure and agate and amethyst and chrysolite and beryl and onyx; and with gold you filled your treasuries and your storehouses in you, from the day that you were created, you.
With the cherub I set you on the holy mountain of God; you became in the midst of fiery stones.
You were blameless in your days, from the day when you were created until iniquities were found in you
πλήθους τῆς ἐμπορίας σου ἔπλησας τὰ ταμίειά σου ἀνομίας καὶ ἥμαρτες καὶ ἐτραυματίσθης ἀπὸ ὄρους τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἤγαγέν σε τὸ χερουβ ἐκ μέσου λίθων πυρίνων
By the multitude of your trade you filled your storerooms with lawlessness, and you sinned and were wounded from the mountain of God, and the cherub led you from the midst of fiery stones
ἡ καρδία σου ἐπὶ τῷ κάλλει σου διεφθάρη ἡ ἐπιστήμη σου μετὰ τοῦ κάλλους σου διὰ πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν σου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἔρριψά σε ἐναντίον βασιλέων ἔδωκά σε παραδειγματισθῆναι
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; your knowledge was corrupted with your beauty. Because of the multitude of your sins I cast you upon the earth; before kings I gave you to be made a spectacle.
τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου καὶ τῶν ἀδικιῶν τῆς ἐμπορίας σου ἐβεβήλωσας τὰ ἱερά σου καὶ ἐξάξω πῦρ ἐκ μέσου σου τοῦτο καταφάγεταί σε καὶ δώσω σε εἰς σποδὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σου ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν ὁρώντων σε
Because of the multitude of your sins and of the injustices of your trade you have profaned your holy things, and I will bring out fire from your midst; this will devour you, and I will give you to ashes upon your land before all who see you
πάντες οἱ ἐπιστάμενοί σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν στυγνάσουσιν ἐπὶ σέ ἀπώλεια ἐγένου καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξεις ἔτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
And all who know you among the nations shall be appalled at you; destruction you became, and you shall exist no longer forever.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying
Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her
εἰπόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ Σιδών καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι ἐν σοί καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με ἐν σοὶ κρίματα καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν σοί
and say, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have done judgments in you, and I will be sanctified in you
καὶ θάνατος ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις σου καὶ πεσοῦνται τετραυματισμένοι ἐν μαχαίραις ἐν σοὶ περικύκλῳ σου καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος
blood and death in your open places, and the wounded by swords will fall in you all around you, and they shall know that I am the Lord
οὐκ ἔσονται οὐκέτι τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Ισραηλ σκόλοψ πικρίας καὶ ἄκανθα ὀδύνης ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν τῶν ἀτιμασάντων αὐτούς καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος
And there shall no longer be to the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a thorn of pain from all those around them, those who dishonored them, and they shall know that I am Lord
λέγει κύριος κύριος καὶ συνάξω τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐνώπιον τῶν λαῶν καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἣν δέδωκα τῷ δούλῳ μου Ιακωβ
Thus says the Lord, Lord: and I will gather Israel from the nations where they were scattered there, and I will be sanctified among them before the peoples and the nations, and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
κατοικήσουσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν οἰκίας καὶ φυτεύσουσιν ἀμπελῶνας καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν ἐλπίδι ὅταν ποιήσω κρίμα ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀτιμάσασιν αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
And they shall dwell on it in hope, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards, and they shall dwell in hope when I execute judgment on all those who dishonored them round about them, and they shall know that I am the Lord their God and the God of their fathers
