Ezequiel 28
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1La parole de l'Eternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
2"Fils de l'homme, dis au souverain de Tyr: Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: Puisque ton coeur s'est exalté, que tu as dit: "Je suis un Dieu, j'occupe une demeure divine au sein des mers," alors que tu n'es qu'un homme et non un Dieu, et puisque tu t'es attribué un coeur pareil au coeur d'un Dieu,
3en vérité, tu es plus sage que Daniel! Aucun secret ne t'échappe;
4par ton habileté et ton intelligence tu t'es acquis de la richesse, tu as amassé de l'or et de l'argent dans tes trésors;
5par ta grande habileté au commerce, tu as multiplié ta fortune, et ton coeur s'est exalté en raison de ta fortune,
6c'est pourquoi, ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: Puisque tu t'es attribué un coeur pareil au coeur d'un Dieu,
7c'est pourquoi, voici que je vais amener contre toi des étrangers, les plus violents des peuples; ils brandiront l'épée contre ta belle habileté et ils terniront ta splendeur.
8Ils te feront descendre à la fosse, et tu mourras de mort violente au sein des mers.
9Oseras-tu dire encore: "Je suis un Dieu", en face de tes meurtriers? Mais tu n'es qu'un homme et non un Dieu entre les mains de ceux qui te blessent à mort.
10Tu mourras de la mort des incirconcis par la main des étrangers, car c'est 'moi qui parle, dit le Seigneur Dieu."
11La parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
12"Fils de l'homme, entonne une élégie sur le roi de Tyr; tu lui diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: Tu étais le sceau de la perfection, plein d'habileté et d'une beauté achevée.
13Tu étais dans l'Eden, le jardin de Dieu; toutes les pierres précieuses te couvraient: rubis, topaze et émeraude, tartessienne, onyx et jaspe, saphir, escarboucle et diamant, de l'or également; tu possédais des tambourins et des flûtes bien travaillés ; pour toi, ils étaient prêts dès le jour de ta naissance.
14Tu étais le Keroub d'élection qui protège de ses ailes; je t'avais posté et tu étais sur la montagne sainte de Dieu; au milieu des pierres de feu, tu circulais.
15Tu fus irréprochable dans ta conduite depuis le jour où tu fus créé jusqu'à ce que la perversité se rencontrât en toi.
16Par l'activité de ton trafic, ton enceinte s'est remplie de violence, et tu es devenu coupable; je t'ai donc rejeté de la montagne de Dieu et je t'ai fait disparaître, Keroub protecteur, d'entre les pierres de feu.
17Ton coeur s'était exalté à cause de ta beauté, et tu avais ruiné ta sagesse par ton faste; je t'ai donc précipité à terre, devant des rois je t'ai exposé, pour leur être en spectacle.
18Par l'excès de tes fautes, par l'iniquité de ton trafic, tu as profané tes sanctuaires; aussi ai-je fait surgir du milieu de toi, un feu, qui t'a consumé, et je t'ai réduit en cendres sur la terre, aux yeux de tous ceux qui te regardent.
19Tous ceux qui te connaissent parmi les nations sont stupéfaits à cause de toi: tu es devenu un néant, ç'en est fini de toi pour toujours."
20La parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
21"Fils de l'homme, tourne ta face vers Sidon et prophétise sur elle.
22Tu diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: Voici que je m'en prends à toi, Sidon, je veux me rendre glorieux au milieu de toi. L'on saura que je suis l'Éternel, quand je lui infligerai des châtiments et que j'y manifesterai ma sainteté.
23J'enverrai contre elle la peste et l'effusion de sang dans ses rues, les morts joncheront son sol, frappés par le glaive qui l'atteindra de toutes parts, et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel.
24Et il n'y aura plus pour la maison d'Israël de ronce cuisante ni d'épine douloureuse parmi tous ses voisins d'alentour qui le traitent avec mépris, et on saura que je suis le Seigneur Dieu."
25Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: "Quand je rassemblerai la maison d'Israël d'entre les peuples chez qui ils ont été dispersés, je me sanctifierai par eux aux yeux des nations, et ils demeureront sur le territoire que j'ai donné à mon serviteur Jacob.
26Ils y demeureront en sécurité, ils bâtiront des maisons, planteront des vignes et demeureront en sécurité, parce que je ferai justice de tous leurs contempteurs d'alentour, et ils reconnaîtront que moi, l'Eternel, je suis leur Dieu."
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
2Hijo del hombre, di al príncipe de Tiro: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Por cuanto se enalteció tu corazón, y dijiste: Yo soy un dios; en la silla de Dios estoy sentado en medio de los mares (siendo tú hombre y no Dios); y has puesto tu corazón como corazón de Dios:
3He aquí que tú eres más sabio que Daniel; no hay secreto que te sea oculto;
4Con tu sabiduría y con tu prudencia te has juntado riquezas, y has adquirido oro y plata en tus tesoros;
5Con la grandeza de tu sabiduría en tu contratación has multiplicado tus riquezas; y á causa de tus riquezas se ha enaltecido tu corazón.
6Por tanto, así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Por cuanto pusiste tu corazón como corazón de Dios,
7Por tanto, he aquí yo traigo sobre ti extraños, los fuertes de las gentes, que desenvainarán su espadas contra la hermosura de tu sabiduría, y ensuciarán tu esplendor.
8A la huesa te harán descender, y morirás de las muertes de los que mueren en medio de los mares.
9¿Hablarás delante de tu matador, diciendo: Yo soy Dios? Tú, hombre eres, y no Dios, en la mano de tu matador.
10De muerte de incircuncisos morirás por mano de extraños: porque yo he hablado, dice el Señor Jehová.
11Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
12Hijo del hombre, levanta endechas sobre el rey de Tiro, y dile: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Tú echas el sello á la proporción, lleno de sabiduría, y acabado de hermosura.
13En Edén, en el huerto de Dios estuviste: toda piedra preciosa fué tu vestidura; el sardio, topacio, diamante, crisólito, onique, y berilo, el zafiro, carbunclo, y esmeralda, y oro, los primores de tus tamboriles y pífanos estuvieron apercibidos para ti en el día de tu creación.
14Tú, querubín grande, cubridor: y yo te puse; en el santo monte de Dios estuviste; en medio de piedras de fuego has andado.
15Perfecto eras en todos tus caminos desde el día que fuiste criado, hasta que se halló en ti maldad.
16A causa de la multitud de tu contratación fuiste lleno de iniquidad, y pecaste: por lo que yo te eché del monte de Dios, y te arrojé de entre las piedras del fuego, oh querubín cubridor.
17Enaltecióse tu corazón á causa de tu hermosura, corrompiste tu sabiduría á causa de tu resplandor: yo te arrojaré por tierra; delante de los reyes te pondré para que miren en ti.
18Con la multitud de tus maldades, y con la iniquidad de tu contratación ensuciaste tu santuario: yo pues saqué fuego de en medio de ti, el cual te consumió, y púsete en ceniza sobre la tierra á los ojos de todos los que te miran.
19Todos los que te conocieron de entre los pueblos, se maravillarán sobre ti: en espanto serás, y para siempre dejarás de ser.
20Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
21Hijo del hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella;
22Y dirás: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí yo contra ti, oh Sidón, y en medio de ti seré glorificado: y sabrán que yo soy Jehová, cuando hiciere en ella juicios, y en ella me santificare.
23Y enviaré á ella pestilencia y sangre en sus plazas; y caerán muertos en medio de ella, con espada contra ella alrededor; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
24Y nunca más será á la casa de Israel espino que le punce, ni espanto que le dé dolor, en todos los alrededores de los que los menosprecian; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
25Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Cuando juntaré la casa de Israel de los pueblos entre los cuales están esparcidos, entonces me santificaré en ellos á los ojos de las gentes, y habitarán en su tierra, la cual dí á mi siervo Jacob.
26Y habitarán en ella seguros, y edificarán casas, y plantarán viñas, y habitarán confiadamente, cuando yo haré juicios en todos los que los despojan en sus alrededores; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová su Dios.
King James Version
1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
20Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
22And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
25Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.

1The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
2“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
4By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6“‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
9Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
12“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
20The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
21“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
23For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
25“‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
