1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Fili hominis, dic principi Tyri : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum, et dixisti : Deus ego sum, et in cathedra Dei sedi in corde maris, cum sis homo, et non deus : et dedisti cor tuum quasi cor Dei :	2 “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, ‘I am God, and I sit in the chair of God, in the heart of the sea,’ though you are a man, and not God, and because you have presented your heart as if it were the heart of God:
3 ecce sapientior es tu Daniele : omne secretum non est absconditum a te :	3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.
4 in sapientia et prudentia tua fecisti tibi fortitudinem, et acquisisti aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis :	4 By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.
5 in multitudine sapientiæ tuæ, et in negotiatione tua multiplicasti tibi fortitudinem, et elevatum est cor tuum in robore tuo :	5 By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.
6 propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Eo quod elevatum est cor tuum quasi cor dei,	6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,
7 idcirco ecce ego adducam super te alienos, robustissimos gentium : et nudabunt gladios suos super pulchritudinem sapientiæ tuæ, et polluent decorem tuum.	7 for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.
8 Interficient, et detrahent te : et morieris in interitu occisorum in corde maris.	8 They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.
9 Numquid dicens loqueris : Deus ego sum, coram interficientibus te, cum sis homo, et non deus, in manu occidentium te ?	9 So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God?
10 Morte incircumcisorum morieris in manu alienorum, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.	10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”
11 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens : Fili hominis, leva planctum super regem Tyri,	11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre,
12 et dices ei : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Tu signaculum similitudinis, plenus sapientia, et perfectus decore.	12 and you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of similitudes, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 In deliciis paradisi Dei fuisti : omnis lapis pretiosus operimentum tuum, sardius, topazius, et jaspis, chrysolithus, et onyx, et beryllus, sapphirus, et carbunculus, et smaragdus : aurum, opus decoris tui : et foramina tua, in die qua conditus es, præparata sunt.	13 You were with the delights of the Paradise of God. Every precious stone was your covering: sardius, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, and onyx, and beryl, sapphire, and garnet, and emerald. The work of your beauty was of gold, and your fissures were ready in the day when you were formed.
14 Tu cherub extentus, et protegens, et posui te in monte sancto Dei : in medio lapidum ignitorum ambulasti,	14 You were a cherub, stretched out and protecting, and I stationed you on the holy mountain of God. You have walked in the midst of stones containing fire.
15 perfectus in viis tuis a die conditionis tuæ, donec inventa est iniquitas in te.	15 You were perfect in your ways, from the day of your formation, until iniquity was found in you.
16 In multitudine negotiationis tuæ repleta sunt interiora tua iniquitate, et peccasti : et ejeci te de monte Dei, et perdidi te, o cherub protegens, de medio lapidum ignitorum.	16 By the multitude of your business dealings, your interior was filled with iniquity, and you sinned. And I cast you away from the mountain of God, and I perished you, O protecting cherub, from the midst of the stones containing fire.
17 Et elevatum est cor tuum in decore tuo ; perdidisti sapientiam tuam in decore tuo : in terram projeci te ; ante faciem regum dedi te ut cernerent te.	17 And your heart was exalted by your beauty; you have destroyed your own wisdom by your beauty. I have cast you to the ground. I have presented you before the face of kings, so that they may examine you.
18 In multitudine iniquitatum tuarum, et iniquitate negotiationis tuæ, polluisti sanctificationem tuam : producam ergo ignem de medio tui, qui comedat te, et dabo te in cinerem super terram, in conspectu omnium videntium te.	18 You have defiled your sanctuaries, by the multitude of your iniquities and by the iniquity of your business dealings. Therefore, I will produce a fire from your midst, which will consume you, and I will make you into ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all who are watching you.
19 Omnes qui viderint te in gentibus, obstupescent super te : nihili factus es, et non eris in perpetuum.	19 All who gaze upon you among the Gentiles will be stupefied over you. You were made out of nothing, and you shall not be, forever.”
20 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :	20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Sidonem, et prophetabis de ea :	21 “Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and you shall prophesy about it.
22 et dices : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego ad te, Sidon, et glorificabor in medio tui : et scient quia ego Dominus, cum fecero in ea judicia, et sanctificatus fuero in ea.	22 And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have executed judgments in her, and when I will have been sanctified in her.
23 Et immittam ei pestilentiam, et sanguinem in plateis ejus : et corruent interfecti in medio ejus gladio per circuitum, et scient quia ego Dominus.	23 And I will send a pestilence upon her, and there will be blood in her streets. And they will fall, slain by the sword, on every side in her midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 Et non erit ultra domui Israël offendiculum amaritudinis, et spina dolorem inferens undique per circuitum eorum qui adversantur eis : et scient quia ego Dominus Deus.	24 And the house of Israel will no longer be a stumbling block of bitterness, nor a thorn bringing pain everywhere around them, to those who turn against them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
25 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quando congregavero domum Israël de populis in quibus dispersi sunt, sanctificabor in eis coram gentibus : et habitabunt in terra sua, quam dedi servo meo Jacob :	25 Thus says the Lord God: “When I will have gathered together the house of Israel, from the peoples among whom they have been dispersed, I shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the Gentiles. And they shall live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 et habitabunt in ea securi, et ædificabunt domos, et plantabunt vineas, et habitabunt confidenter, cum fecero judicia in omnibus qui adversantur eis per circuitum : et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum.	26 And they shall live within it securely. And they shall build houses and plant vineyards. And they shall live in confidence, when I will have executed judgments upon all those who turn against them on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God.”
