| א וַיְהִי דְבַר-יְהוָה, אֵלַי לֵאמֹר. | 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| ב וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם, שָׂא עַל-צֹר קִינָה. | 2 'And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre, |
| ג וְאָמַרְתָּ לְצוֹר, הישבתי הַיֹּשֶׁבֶת עַל-מְבוֹאֹת יָם, רֹכֶלֶת הָעַמִּים, אֶל-אִיִּים רַבִּים; {ס} כֹּה אָמַר, אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, צוֹר, אַתְּ אָמַרְתְּ אֲנִי כְּלִילַת יֹפִי. | 3 and say unto Tyre, that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples unto many isles: {S} Thus saith the Lord GOD: thou, O Tyre, hast said: I am of perfect beauty. |
| ד בְּלֵב יַמִּים, גְּבוּלָיִךְ; בֹּנַיִךְ, כָּלְלוּ יָפְיֵךְ. | 4 Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. |
| ה בְּרוֹשִׁים מִשְּׂנִיר בָּנוּ לָךְ, אֵת כָּל-לֻחֹתָיִם; אֶרֶז מִלְּבָנוֹן לָקָחוּ, לַעֲשׂוֹת תֹּרֶן עָלָיִךְ. | 5 Of cypress-trees from Senir have they fashioned all thy planks; they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. |
| ו אַלּוֹנִים, מִבָּשָׁן, עָשׂוּ, מִשּׁוֹטָיִךְ; קַרְשֵׁךְ עָשׂוּ-שֵׁן בַּת-אֲשֻׁרִים, מֵאִיֵּי כִּתִּיִּם. | 6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; thy deck have they made of ivory inlaid in larch, from the isles of the Kittites. |
| ז שֵׁשׁ-בְּרִקְמָה מִמִּצְרַיִם הָיָה מִפְרָשֵׂךְ, לִהְיוֹת לָךְ לְנֵס; תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן מֵאִיֵּי אֱלִישָׁה, הָיָה מְכַסֵּךְ. | 7 Of fine linen with richly woven work from Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning. |
| ח יֹשְׁבֵי צִידוֹן וְאַרְוַד, הָיוּ שָׁטִים לָךְ; חֲכָמַיִךְ צוֹר הָיוּ בָךְ, הֵמָּה חֹבְלָיִךְ. | 8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise men, O Tyre, were in thee, they were thy pilots. |
| ט זִקְנֵי גְבַל וַחֲכָמֶיהָ הָיוּ בָךְ, מַחֲזִיקֵי בִּדְקֵךְ; כָּל-אֳנִיּוֹת הַיָּם וּמַלָּחֵיהֶם הָיוּ בָךְ, לַעֲרֹב מַעֲרָבֵךְ. | 9 The elders of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to exchange thy merchandise. |
| י פָּרַס וְלוּד וּפוּט הָיוּ בְחֵילֵךְ, אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחַמְתֵּךְ; מָגֵן וְכוֹבַע תִּלּוּ-בָךְ, הֵמָּה נָתְנוּ הֲדָרֵךְ. | 10 Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war; they hanged the shield and helmet in thee, they set forth thy comeliness. |
| יא בְּנֵי אַרְוַד וְחֵילֵךְ, עַל-חוֹמוֹתַיִךְ סָבִיב, וְגַמָּדִים, בְּמִגְדְּלוֹתַיִךְ הָיוּ; שִׁלְטֵיהֶם תִּלּוּ עַל-חוֹמוֹתַיִךְ, סָבִיב--הֵמָּה, כָּלְלוּ יָפְיֵךְ. | 11 The men of Arvad and Helech were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers; they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have perfected thy beauty. |
| יב תַּרְשִׁישׁ סֹחַרְתֵּךְ, מֵרֹב כָּל-הוֹן; בְּכֶסֶף בַּרְזֶל בְּדִיל וְעוֹפֶרֶת, נָתְנוּ עִזְבוֹנָיִךְ. | 12 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for thy wares. |
| יג יָוָן תֻּבַל וָמֶשֶׁךְ, הֵמָּה רֹכְלָיִךְ; בְּנֶפֶשׁ אָדָם וּכְלֵי נְחֹשֶׁת, נָתְנוּ מַעֲרָבֵךְ. | 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy traffickers; they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for thy merchandise. |
| יד מִבֵּית, תּוֹגַרְמָה, סוּסִים וּפָרָשִׁים וּפְרָדִים, נָתְנוּ עִזְבוֹנָיִךְ. | 14 They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and horsemen and mules. |
| טו בְּנֵי דְדָן רֹכְלַיִךְ, אִיִּים רַבִּים סְחֹרַת יָדֵךְ; קַרְנוֹת שֵׁן והובנים וְהָבְנִים, הֵשִׁיבוּ אֶשְׁכָּרֵךְ. | 15 The men of Dedan were thy traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand; they brought thee as tribute horns of ivory and ebony. |
| טז אֲרָם סֹחַרְתֵּךְ, מֵרֹב מַעֲשָׂיִךְ; בְּנֹפֶךְ אַרְגָּמָן וְרִקְמָה וּבוּץ, וְרָאמֹת וְכַדְכֹּד, נָתְנוּ, בְּעִזְבוֹנָיִךְ. | 16 Aram was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of thy wealth; they traded for thy wares with carbuncles, purple, and richly woven work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies. |
| יז יְהוּדָה וְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, הֵמָּה רֹכְלָיִךְ; בְּחִטֵּי מִנִּית וּפַנַּג וּדְבַשׁ וָשֶׁמֶן, וָצֹרִי, נָתְנוּ, מַעֲרָבֵךְ. | 17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, and balsam, and honey, and oil, and balm. |
| יח דַּמֶּשֶׂק סֹחַרְתֵּךְ בְּרֹב מַעֲשַׂיִךְ, מֵרֹב כָּל-הוֹן; בְּיֵין חֶלְבּוֹן, וְצֶמֶר צָחַר. | 18 Damascus was thy merchant for the multitude of thy wealth, by reason of the multitude of all riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool. |
| יט וְדָן וְיָוָן מְאוּזָּל, בְּעִזְבוֹנַיִךְ נָתָנּוּ; בַּרְזֶל עָשׁוֹת קִדָּה וְקָנֶה, בְּמַעֲרָבֵךְ הָיָה. | 19 Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for thy wares; massive iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise. |
| כ דְּדָן, רֹכַלְתֵּךְ, בְּבִגְדֵי-חֹפֶשׁ, לְרִכְבָּה. | 20 Dedan was thy trafficker in precious cloths for riding. |
| כא עֲרַב וְכָל-נְשִׂיאֵי קֵדָר, הֵמָּה סֹחֲרֵי יָדֵךְ; בְּכָרִים וְאֵילִם וְעַתּוּדִים, בָּם סֹחֲרָיִךְ. | 21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants. |
| כב רֹכְלֵי שְׁבָא וְרַעְמָה, הֵמָּה רֹכְלָיִךְ; בְּרֹאשׁ כָּל-בֹּשֶׂם וּבְכָל-אֶבֶן יְקָרָה, וְזָהָב, נָתְנוּ, עִזְבוֹנָיִךְ. | 22 The traffickers of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy wares with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. |
| כג חָרָן וְכַנֵּה וָעֶדֶן, רֹכְלֵי שְׁבָא; אַשּׁוּר, כִּלְמַד רֹכַלְתֵּךְ. | 23 Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur was as thine apprentice in traffic. |
| כד הֵמָּה רֹכְלַיִךְ, בְּמַכְלֻלִים, בִּגְלוֹמֵי תְּכֵלֶת וְרִקְמָה, וּבְגִנְזֵי בְּרֹמִים; בַּחֲבָלִים חֲבֻשִׁים וַאֲרֻזִים, בְּמַרְכֻלְתֵּךְ. | 24 These were thy traffickers in gorgeous fabrics, in wrappings of blue and richly woven work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and cedar-lined, among thy merchandise. |
| כה אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ, שָׁרוֹתַיִךְ מַעֲרָבֵךְ; וַתִּמָּלְאִי וַתִּכְבְּדִי מְאֹד, בְּלֵב יַמִּים. | 25 The ships of Tarshish brought thee tribute for thy merchandise; so wast thou replenished, and made very heavy in the heart of the seas. |
| כו בְּמַיִם רַבִּים הֱבִאוּךְ, הַשָּׁטִים אֹתָךְ; רוּחַ, הַקָּדִים, שְׁבָרֵךְ, בְּלֵב יַמִּים. | 26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas. |
| כז הוֹנֵךְ, וְעִזְבוֹנַיִךְ, מַעֲרָבֵךְ, מַלָּחַיִךְ וְחֹבְלָיִךְ; מַחֲזִיקֵי בִדְקֵךְ וְעֹרְבֵי מַעֲרָבֵךְ וְכָל-אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחַמְתֵּךְ אֲשֶׁר-בָּךְ, וּבְכָל-קְהָלֵךְ אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹכֵךְ, יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב יַמִּים, בְּיוֹם מַפַּלְתֵּךְ. | 27 Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the exchangers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin. |
| כח לְקוֹל, זַעֲקַת חֹבְלָיִךְ, יִרְעֲשׁוּ, מִגְרֹשׁוֹת. | 28 At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the waves shall shake. |
| כט וְיָרְדוּ מֵאֳנִיּוֹתֵיהֶם, כֹּל תֹּפְשֵׂי מָשׁוֹט--מַלָּחִים, כֹּל חֹבְלֵי הַיָּם: אֶל-הָאָרֶץ, יַעֲמֹדוּ. | 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, |
| ל וְהִשְׁמִיעוּ עָלַיִךְ בְּקוֹלָם, וְיִזְעֲקוּ מָרָה; וְיַעֲלוּ עָפָר עַל-רָאשֵׁיהֶם, בָּאֵפֶר יִתְפַּלָּשׁוּ. | 30 And shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall roll themselves in the ashes; |
| לא וְהִקְרִיחוּ אֵלַיִךְ קָרְחָה, וְחָגְרוּ שַׂקִּים; וּבָכוּ אֵלַיִךְ בְּמַר-נֶפֶשׁ, מִסְפֵּד מָר. | 31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter lamentation. |
| לב וְנָשְׂאוּ אֵלַיִךְ בְּנִיהֶם קִינָה, וְקוֹנְנוּ עָלָיִךְ: מִי כְצוֹר, כְּדֻמָה בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם. | 32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee: who was there like Tyre, fortified in the midst of the sea? |
| לג בְּצֵאת עִזְבוֹנַיִךְ מִיַּמִּים, הִשְׂבַּעַתְּ עַמִּים רַבִּים; בְּרֹב הוֹנַיִךְ וּמַעֲרָבַיִךְ, הֶעֱשַׁרְתְּ מַלְכֵי-אָרֶץ. | 33 When thy wares came forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise didst thou enrich the kings of the earth. |
| לד עֵת נִשְׁבֶּרֶת מִיַּמִּים, בְּמַעֲמַקֵּי-מָיִם; מַעֲרָבֵךְ וְכָל-קְהָלֵךְ, בְּתוֹכֵךְ נָפָלוּ. | 34 Now that thou art broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, and thy merchandise and all thy company are fallen in the midst of thee, |
| לה כֹּל יֹשְׁבֵי הָאִיִּים, שָׁמְמוּ עָלָיִךְ; וּמַלְכֵיהֶם שָׂעֲרוּ שַׂעַר, רָעֲמוּ פָּנִים. | 35 All the inhabitants of the isles are appalled at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in their countenance; |
| לו סֹחֲרִים, בָּעַמִּים, שָׁרְקוּ, עָלָיִךְ; בַּלָּהוֹת הָיִית, וְאֵינֵךְ עַד-עוֹלָם. {פ} | 36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and never shalt be any more.' {P} |
