Ezekiel 27 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λαβὲ ἐπὶ Σὸρ θρῆνον“Now you, son of man, take up a lament for Tyre.

3καὶ ἐρεῖς τῇ Σὸρ τῇ κατοικούσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς θαλάσσης, τῷ ἐμπορίῳ τῶν λαῶν ἀπὸ νήσων πολλῶν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ Σόρ· σὺ εἶπας· ἐγὼ περιέθηκα ἐμαυτῇ κάλλος μου.Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

4ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης τῷ Βεελεὶμ υἱοί σου περιέθηκάν σοι κάλλος.Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty.

7βύσσος μετὰ ποικιλίας ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐγένετό σοι στρωμνὴ τοῦ περιθεῖναί σοι δόξαν καὶ περιβαλεῖν σε ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐκ τῶν νήσων Ἐλεισαὶ καὶ ἐγένετο περιβόλαιά σου.Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning.

8καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντές σου οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιδῶνα καὶ Ἀράδιοι ἐγένοντο κωπηλάται σου· οἱ σοφοί σου, Σόρ, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι κυβερνῆταί σου.The men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your men of skill, O Tyre, were there as your captains.

9οἱ πρεσβύτεροι βιβλίων καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ αὐτῶν ἦσαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι ἐνίσχυον τὴν βουλήν σου· καὶ πάντα τὰ πλοῖα τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται αὐτῶν ἐγένοντό σοι ἐπὶ δυσμὰς δυσμῶν.The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights, repairing your leaks. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to barter for your merchandise.
