1 Une parole de Yahvé me fut adressée:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Fils d’homme, prononce donc une lamentation sur Tyr.	2 “You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
3 Tu diras à Tyr, la ville installée au débouché des mers, le grand marché des peuples et des îles sans nombre: Parole de Yahvé! Ne disais-tu pas, Tyr: Je suis parfaitement belle.	3 And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am of perfect beauty,
4 Tu n’avais de frontières que les mers, et tes bâtisseurs t’avaient voulue très belle.	4 for I have been positioned at the heart of the sea!’ Your neighbors, who built you, have filled up your beauty.
5 Ils avaient tiré des cyprès de Sénir les planches de tes bordages, ils avaient pris ton mât dans un cèdre du Liban,	5 They constructed you with spruce from Senir, with all the planks of the sea. They have taken cedars from Lebanon, so that they might make a mast for you.
6 et tes rames, dans les chênes du Bashan; ton pont était de cèdre des îles de Kittim, incrusté d’ivoire.	6 They have formed your oars from the oaks of Bashan. And they have made your crossbeams from Indian ivory, and the pilothouse is from the islands of Italy.
7 Tes voiles étaient de lin d’Égypte, et de même ton pavillon. Tes tentures de pourpre et d’écarlate venaient des îles d’Élicha.	7 Colorful fine linen from Egypt was woven for you as a sail to be placed upon the mast; hyacinth and purple from the islands of Elishah were made into your covering.
8 Les habitants de Sidon et d’Arvad étaient tes rameurs, mais tes sages étaient les pilotes;	8 The inhabitants of Sidon and of Arwad were your rowers. Your wise ones, O Tyre, were your navigators.
9 les anciens de Guébal ( ) réparaient tes avaries ( ).	9 The elders of Gebal and its experts were considered as sailors making use of your diverse equipment. All the ships of the sea and their sailors were your merchants among the people.

And even the Gammadim, who were in your towers, suspended their quivers on your walls on all sides; they completed your beauty.
12 Tarsis te fournissait de tout: elle prenait tes marchandises contre l’argent, le fer, l’étain et le plomb.	12 The Carthaginians, your merchants, supplied your festivals with a multitude of diverse riches, with silver, iron, tin, and lead.
13 Yavan, Toubal et Méchek étaient tes clients; ils prenaient tes marchandises contre des esclaves et des objets de bronze.	13 Greece, Tubal, and Meshech, these were your peddlers; they traveled to your people with slaves and with brass vessels.

24 riches vêtements, manteaux de pourpre, étoffes brodées et tapis de couleur, cordes bien tressées.	24 These were your merchants in many places, with windings of hyacinth and of colorful weavings, and with precious treasures, which were wrapped and bound with cords. Also, they had works of cedar among your merchandise.
25 Les navires de Tarsis assuraient ton commerce. Tu es partie au cœur des mers, remplie, surchargée,	25 The ships of the sea were important to your business dealings. For you were replenished and exceedingly glorified in the heart of the sea.
26 tes rameurs t’ont menée en haute mer, et puis au cœur des mers, le vent d’est t’a brisée.	26 Your rowers have brought you into many waters. The south wind has worn you down in the heart of the sea.
27 Et voilà que s’enfoncent, au cœur des mers, tes richesses, tes marchandises et tout ce que tu portes: marins et matelots, charpentiers de marine, commerçants, hommes de guerre et passagers: c’est le naufrage!	27 Your riches, and your treasures, and your versatile equipment, your sailors and your navigators, who handle your goods and who were first among your people, likewise your men of war, who were among you, and your entire multitude that is in your midst: they will fall in the heart of the sea on the day of your ruin.
28 Les cris de tes matelots ont ébranlé jusqu’au rivage.	28 Your fleets will be disturbed by the sound of an outcry from your navigators.
29 Tous les rameurs descendent de leurs bateaux et les marins s’arrêtent à terre.	29 And all who were handling the oar will descend from their ships; the sailors and all the navigators of the sea will stand upon the land.
30 Ils ne parlent que de toi et poussent des cris, ils se jettent de la poussière sur la tête et se roulent dans la cendre.	30 And they will howl over you with a great voice, and they will cry out with bitterness. And they will cast dust upon their heads, and they will be sprinkled with ashes.
31 Pour toi ils se rasent le crâne et s’habillent de sacs; très affligés, ils font entendre leurs plaintes, une lamentation amère.	31 And they will shave their heads because of you, and they will be wrapped in haircloth. And they will weep for you with bitterness of soul, with a very bitter weeping.
32 Ils ont composé pour toi un chant funèbre, et ils se lamentent: “Qui était semblable à Tyr au milieu des mers?	32 And they will take up a mournful verse over you, and they will lament you: ‘What city is like Tyre, which has become mute in the midst of the sea?’
33 Tu débarquais tes marchandises: les peuples étaient rassasiés. C’était toi, c’étaient tes marchandises, qui rendaient riches les rois de la terre.	33 For by the going forth of your merchandise by sea, you supplied many peoples; by the multitude of your riches and of your people, you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Voici que la mer t’a brisée, tu es au fond des eaux; ta cargaison et tout ton monde ont sombré avec toi.	34 Now you have been worn away by the sea, your opulence is in the depths of the waters, and your entire multitude that was in your midst has fallen.
35 Les habitants des îles sont tous consternés, les rois ont un frisson, leur visage perd sa couleur.	35 All the inhabitants of the islands have been stupefied over you; and all their kings, having been struck by the tempest, have changed their expression.
36 Partout dans le monde les marchands sifflent quand on parle de toi, tu es devenue un exemple, on ne te reverra plus.	36 The merchants of the peoples have hissed over you. You have been reduced to nothing, and you shall not be again, even forever.”
