1 et factum est in undecimo anno prima mensis factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
1
And it was done in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month (on the first day of the month), the word of the Lord was made to me, and he said,
2 fili hominis pro eo quod dixit Tyrus de Hierusalem euge confractae sunt portae populorum conversa est ad me implebor deserta est
2
Thou, son of man, for that that Tyre said of Jerusalem, Well! the gates of peoples be broken, it is turned to me; I shall be filled, it is forsaken; (Thou, son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem, Well! the gateway to the nations is broken, and it is open to me; I shall be filled, it is deserted;)
3 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego super te Tyre et ascendere faciam ad te gentes multas sicut ascendit mare fluctuans
3
therefore the Lord God saith these things, Lo! Tyre, I on thee; and I shall make many folks to ascend to thee, as the sea flowing ascendeth. (and so the Lord God saith these things, Lo! Tyre, I am against thee; and I shall make many nations to ascend against thee, like the flowing sea ascendeth.)
4 et dissipabunt muros Tyri et destruent turres eius et radam pulverem eius de ea et dabo eam in limpidissimam petram
4
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and they shall destroy the towers thereof; and I shall raze the dust thereof from it, and I shall give it into a most clear stone. (And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and they shall destroy its towers; and I shall raze, or shall sweep away, even the dust from it, and I shall make it into a very clean, or a very bare, rock.)
5 siccatio sagenarum erit in medio maris quia ego locutus sum ait Dominus Deus et erit in direptionem gentibus
5
Drying of nets [it] shall be in the midst of the sea, for I spake, saith the Lord God. And Tyre shall be into ravishing to heathen men. (It shall be for the drying of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, saith the Lord God. And Tyre shall be for robbing, or for spoils, for the heathen.)
6 filiae quoque eius quae sunt in agro gladio interficientur et scient quia ego Dominus
6
And the daughters thereof that be in the field, shall be slain by sword; and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
7 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego adducam ad Tyrum Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis ab aquilone regem regum cum equis et curribus et equitibus et coetu populoque magno
7
For why the Lord God saith these things, Lo! I shall bring to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horses, and chariots, and knights, and with a company, and great people. (For the Lord God saith these things, Lo! I shall bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and with a great company of people.)
8 filias tuas quae sunt in agro gladio interficiet et circumdabit te munitionibus et conportabit aggerem in gyro et levabit contra te clypeum
8
He shall slay by sword thy daughters that be in the field, and he shall (en)compass thee with strongholds, and he shall bear together [the heap of] earth in compass. And he shall raise a shield against thee, (He shall kill by the sword thy daughters who be in the fields, and he shall surround thee with strongholds, and he shall bear together heaps of earth all around thee. And he shall raise up a shield against thee,)
9 et vineas et arietes temperabit in muros tuos et turres tuas destruet in armatura sua
9
and he shall temper engines like vineries, and engines that be called wethers against thy walls; and he shall destroy thy towers by his arms. (and he shall use battering-rams against thy walls; and he shall destroy thy towers with his weapons.)
10 inundatione equorum eius operiet te pulvis eorum a sonitu equitum et rotarum et curruum movebuntur muri tui dum ingressus fuerit portas tuas quasi per introitus urbis dissipatae
10
By (the) flowing (by) of his horses, the dust of those shall cover thee; thy walls shall be moved of the sound of knights, and of wheels, and of chariots (thy walls shall be shaken at the sound of the horsemen, and the wheels, and the chariots); when he shall enter by the gates, as by enterings of a city destroyed,
11 ungulis equorum suorum conculcabit omnes plateas tuas populum tuum gladio caedet et statuae tuae nobiles in terram corruent
11
with the claws of his horses he shall defoul all thy streets. He shall slay by sword thy people, and thy noble images shall fall down into earth. (with the hoofs of his horses he shall defile all thy streets. He shall kill thy people by the sword, and thy mighty pillars shall fall down to the ground.)
12 vastabunt opes tuas diripient negotiationes tuas et destruent muros tuos et domos tuas praeclaras subvertent et lapides tuos et ligna tua et pulverem tuum in medio aquarum ponent
12
They shall waste thy riches, they shall ravish thy merchandise; and they shall destroy thy walls, and they shall destroy thine houses full clear, and thy stones, and thy trees, and they shall put thy dust in the midst of waters. (They shall destroy thy riches, and they shall rob thy merchandise; they shall destroy thy walls, and they shall destroy thy glorious houses, and thy stones, and thy timber, and they shall put thy dust into the midst of thy waters.)
13 et quiescere faciam multitudinem canticorum tuorum et sonitus cithararum tuarum non audietur amplius

14 et dabo te in limpidissimam petram siccatio sagenarum eris nec aedificaberis ultra quia ego locutus sum dicit Dominus Deus
14
and I shall give thee into a most clear stone. Thou shalt be (a place for the) drying of nets, and thou shalt no more be builded, for I the Lord spake, saith the Lord God. (and I shall make thee into a very clean, or a very bare, rock. Thou shalt be a place for the drying of nets, and thou shalt never be rebuilt, for I the Lord spoke, saith the Lord God.)
15 haec dicit Dominus Deus Tyro numquid non a sonitu ruinae tuae et gemitu interfectorum tuorum cum occisi fuerint in medio tui commovebuntur insulae
15
The Lord God saith these things of Tyre, Whether isles shall not be moved of the sound of thy fall, and of the wailing of thy slain men, when they be slain in the midst of thee? (The Lord God saith these things to Tyre, Shall not the islands be moved at the sound of thy fall, and at the wailing of thy slain, when they be killed in thy midst?)
16 et descendent de sedibus suis omnes principes maris et auferent exuvias suas et vestimenta sua varia abicient et induentur stupore in terra sedebunt et adtoniti super repentino casu tuo admirabuntur
16
And all the princes of the sea shall go down off their seats, and they shall do away their mantles, either their spoils of slain enemies, and they shall cast away their diverse clothes, and shall be clothed with wondering. They shall sit in the earth, and shall be astonied, and shall wonder on thy sudden fall. (And all the kings of the sea shall go down off their thrones, and they shall do away their mantles, or the spoils of their slain enemies, and they shall throw away their diverse clothes, and they shall be clothed with wondering. They shall sit on the ground, and shall be astonished, and shall wonder at thy sudden fall.)
17 et adsumentes super te lamentum dicent tibi quomodo peristi quae habitas in mari urbs inclita quae fuisti fortis in mari cum habitatoribus tuis quos formidabant universi
17
And they shall take wailing on thee, and shall say to thee, How perishedest thou, noble city, that dwellest in the sea, that were strong in the sea, with thy dwellers, which dwellers all men dreaded? (And they shall take up a wailing for thee, and shall say of thee, How thou hast perished, O noble city, that dwellest by the sea, that were strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants, which inhabitants all the peoples feared!)
18 nunc stupebunt naves in die pavoris tui et turbabuntur insulae in mari eo quod nullus egrediatur ex te
18
Now ships shall wonder in the day of thy dread, and isles in the sea shall be troubled, for none goeth out of thee. (Now the people shall wonder on the day of thy downfall, and the islands in the sea shall be troubled, for no one dwelleth within thee any more.)
19 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus cum dedero te urbem desolatam sicut civitates quae non habitantur et adduxero super te abyssum et operuerint te aquae multae
19
For the Lord God saith these things, When I shall give thee to be a city desolate, as the cities that be not inhabited, and I shall bring on thee the depth of waters, and many waters shall cover thee. (For the Lord God saith these things, I shall make thee to be a desolate city, like the cities that be not inhabited, and I shall bring upon thee the water from the depths, and many waters shall cover thee.)
20 et detraxero te cum his qui descendunt in lacum ad populum sempiternum et conlocavero te in terra novissima sicut solitudines veteres cum his qui deducuntur in lacum ut non habiteris porro dedero gloriam in terra viventium
20
And I shall draw thee down with them that go down into a pit, to the people everlasting; and I shall set thee in the last land, as old wildernesses, with them that be led down into a pit, that thou be not inhabited. Certainly when I shall give glory in the land of livers, (And I shall draw thee down with those who go down into the pit, with the people of all the ages; and I shall put thee in the last land, an eternal wilderness, with them who be led down into the pit, so that thou be not inhabited. Truly when I shall give glory in the land of the living,)
21 in nihilum redigam te et non eris et requisita non invenieris ultra in sempiternum dicit Dominus Deus
21
I shall drive thee into nought, and thou shalt not be; and thou shalt be sought, and thou shalt no more be found [into] without end, saith the Lord God. (then I shall drive thee down into nothing, and thou shalt not be; and thou shalt be sought, but thou shalt never be found again, saith the Lord God.)
